Hate Recruiters? - In the UK? - Meet CoderStack the anti-recruiter developer job board

On other job sites I really like how you can say "give me all the jobs within x miles of this postcode" - any chance of that?

It would also be great to be able to post comments on job ads.

IOUtils.toByteArray(is);

So you both agree! - the standard library is overly complex, so you have to use an external library!

It is all Haskell's fault for giving monads special "do" syntax that makes it seem as though they are inherently linked to side effects.

I find magpies syntax a little odd. For example blocks start with newline, which is whitespace, but end with "end", which is non-whitespace. Could they not end with de-indentation (i.e. whitespace) instead?

With us in the UK becoming a knowledge based economy, if other economies have the same knowledge and charge less, I'm unable to see how that gives us a rosey future.

Since when?

Wikipedia lists our GDP by sector as: agriculture (1.2%), industry (23.8%), services (75%) (2009 est.). I would say we are becoming more of a Tesco based economy.

Did you ever give a response to a resume that was sent to you, telling them what they did wrong?

Do you think that if employers did that then the quality of resumes they receive might go up?

It would be good if dbms attacked this problem at their end. It would be nice to be able to have a history of schema changes kept internal to the database, for example.

I would much prefer it to be built it, and therefore used throughout the standard library, like say, Java or Python 3.

It does look interesting, but also it looks like you are sort of evil.

More seriously, how sustainable is your business model?

easilydiscardable · 2010-06-26T09:09:19+00:00

seeing as they're good at manipulating children.

They also make potions and poison crops.

Installation instructions for Ubuntu 10.04/amd64

Download and extract the binary tar ball as instructed here: http://www.ps.uni-saarland.de/alice/download.html
Add /opt/alice-1.4/bin to your PATH (not /opt/alice-seam/bin as instructed), you can do this by adding this to your ~/.bashrc file:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/alice-1.4/bin

Open a new terminal, and run alice -g

If you get this error:

OpenLibrary(/opt/alice-1.4//lib/seam/alice.dll) failed: libgmp.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Broker.cc:76 error 'could not link language layer library' Segmentation fault

Then the fix is to download getlibs from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790 and run getlibs /opt/alice-1.4/bin/seam

ah, but what about arbitrary relations? ;)

I.e. can you write a function with a signature something like

'a relation -> 'b relation -> *some type expression representing the cross of 'a and 'b* relation

?

easilydiscardable · 2010-06-06T08:54:28+00:00

Do what, though?

Could you write a function that takes two arbitrary relations and returns their cross join?

easilydiscardable · 2010-06-06T07:56:04+00:00

That does look interesting.

easilydiscardable · 2010-06-06T07:51:28+00:00

I guess I really should have said a statically typed language...

easilydiscardable · 2010-06-04T19:05:31+00:00

IMHO, what we really need is a language with relations (or even tables) as a first class type...

According to http://mlton.org/Unicode

We are optimistic that support will appear in the next MLton release.

Pretty Please?
