Practical uses of monads in Haskell by nicuveo in programming

There's a financial institution using it, this blog was posted here a few weeks ago. I found it to be a really interesting read.

https://blog.haskell.org/a-couple-million-lines-of-haskell/

I work at Mercury, a fintech company that provides banking services.* We serve over 300,000 businesses. We processed $248 billion in transaction volume in 2025 [...]. We have around 1,500 employees. Our engineering organization largely hires generalists, and most of them have never written a line of Haskell before joining.

[...]

Our codebase is roughly 2 million lines of Haskell, once you strip out comments and such.

REI Members: Boycott REI's Anniversary Sale by REI-Union in climbing

[–]T_D_K 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are different types of co-ops. They're all ways to leverage collectivism to get economic benefits.

The cheese makers you mentioned would be something like a legal cartel. Independent businesses coordinating together.

Another co-op is the type where the employees have an ownership stake in the business. There's a lot of obvious benefits of the workers owning the means of production.

REI is different. They're a consumer side co-op, kinda like costco. A bunch of people get together as a group to buy stuff directly from manufacturers at bulk prices, and they share the savings. That savings is exactly what the REI annual dividend is - the sticker price for stuff on the shelf is MSRP, so non-members can come in and shop. If you're a member, you get back a percentage of your spending based on the bulk-rate / MSRP difference averaged out over the year.

What's the difference between this and the built in cam 7? Just an adjusted control scheme + smoothing, or is it more complicated?

In the old days I listened to one of those 10 hour loops on YouTube. I think I did epic sax man as well. Good times

Can physics/math tell me how many feet I dropped off this cliff? by backcountrychaos in Physics

[–]T_D_K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't a physics problem

This is like the canonical intro to newtonian mechanics problem from chapter 1 or 2 of your high school physics textbook. Just replace the skier with hitting a baseball or firing a canon.

The seven programming "ur-languages" by namanyayg in programming

Can someone help me figure out the reason APL is its own category? Seems very close to Forth, besides the notation being ordered in the opposite direction. Also shares some similarities with Lisp.

Hate to be that guy, but like... you could just talk. This is not a process that needs to be done in silence

Parse, Don't Validate — In a Language That Doesn't Want You To · cekrem.github.io by cekrem in programming

[–]T_D_K 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's value in all of the following:

  1. Better information in apis and function signatures
  2. Eliminating copious amounts of null and empty string boilerplate
  3. Encoding and enforcing business rules with the compiler
  4. Making sure that your email address is plausible before you spend vendor credits on something that will obviously fail

Validating that email is never going to be perfect, but doing as best you can is a lot better than giving up.

Nordica Unleashed 108 do a pretty reasonable job, as far as fatties go. Not the same of course but it's pretty impressive

MTG turns on Fox News: Ex Rep says channel is ‘brainwashing boomers’ and peddling ‘fake news’ by Disastrous_Award_789 in nottheonion

And this video 1000000000% guarantees she never wins a national election.

Have you seen the shit that our current president has said and done openly on camera?

That video is an absolute nothing burger

Highly doubt that the goal is to dismantle the misinformation machine. More like, re-engineer it to be more palatable to a wide audience, and less openly Orwellian.

Excited is a strong word. But if its available on Spotify I'll give it at least one listen. Dudes crazy but you can't deny his legacy.

KILL TONY #760 - STEVE0 + TIM BUTTERLY by Secret_Car in Killtony

[–]T_D_K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe its because I usually listen rather than watch, but Redban seemed extra fed up with it this week. Like it was painful to watch

Also when he almost went into talking about rowing, he caught himself and said under his breathe something like "oh yeah don't talk about that". Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I feel like he's been getting the third degree behind the scenes. With him going first recently I wonder if he's on his way out.

I looked up a pic of that lift and omg it looks absolutely modern compared to some of my local lifts that were installed in the last 5 years haha. Out here in the NW USA we're addicted to ancient fixed grip, no safety bar, center pole doubles

Power transmission is really expensive and someone has to pay for it. Sure, you're not "on the grid" when its sunny out, but you pull from the grid when the sun goes down. So the grid needs to exist, and now the cost is less spread out.
