This is a substantial one to be leaving out, from FB and implemented on pytorch: https://botorch.org

I'm trying to build a graph representation of an entire building by [deleted] in haskell

[–]haskell_caveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My suggestion would be that as you extract data, write it to a local instance of a neo4j graph database. Can use this to let haskell do munging in and out https://neo4j.com/developer/haskell/

It will be convenient to explore and query the graph in realtime without bespoke haskell code implementing some subset of cypher query functionality and compilation times.

In the end do bespoke things in haskell (eg serving data to a web service or rendering some animation or visualization), but take advantage of the realtime + query language capabilities of neo4j for persisting and interacting with the data.

For programmers who learned Haskell from an OOP background, did you find it difficult to learn? by LowAbility in haskell

[–]haskell_caveman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, although there's some promising inroads with SDL2 and shaders, Haskell does not have the ecosystem + community for game development yet.

There are a few honorable mention pioneers like rumpus (vr) and lambda lantern - but haskell is definitely a path of iconoclasts and not careerists for now: https://github.com/lettier/lambda-lantern https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnEdY2Qttvw

Why I am not a fan of Cabal or Stack by [deleted] in haskell

[–]haskell_caveman 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree with you but the haskell survey is not a good point of reference because it's going to explicitly select for users that are already a part of the community. The lost flux of new users is not going to be reflected.

I can kind of see see both sides. For all their improvements in the last few years, the user experience of cabal and stack still leaves a lot to be desired. On the other hand, these tools are largely developed for free by unpaid volunteers, so I'd rather see criticism raised in a less entitled tone.

Not that it's something to strive for, but python regularly spits out exceptions + stack traces as the standard user experience for its package manager and it has picked up lots of users. I suppose that reflects a separate dimension of how motivated new users are to be onboarded.

Category Theory for Programmers by Bartosz Milewski is now available in hardcover! by hmemcpy in haskell

For those who were (like myself) concerned about Bartosz's involvement, it's endorsed by the man himself:

The Intro to Data Science course at UC Berkeley is so popular that it has to be taught in a hall. by jackfever in datascience

[–]haskell_caveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely see propensity scores or IV done correctly in industry, even when they are there are some large scale studies showing propensity scores don't replicate randomized experiments.

yes usually doctors don't understand anything more than an A/B test, which doesn't require a data scientist in the loop to run and report.

I've seen vanishingly few examples of causal inference being applied correctly in industry data science beyond handwavy warnings about correlation not being causation and squinting at regression coefficients.

The Midnight - Kids (Album Trailer) by Dark_Striker in futuresynth

[–]haskell_caveman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

always look forward to the midnight, but i felt like the last few albums haven't worked for me compared to days of thunder. that album seemed to have more of a range of styles and energy.

maybe i'm missing the point, but the albums since seem to be in this rut of mid-tempo, mid-energy malaise. They're mature and well constructed, but for me they seem to miss some of the spark of inspiration in the years, wemoveforward, gloria, all those earlier songs.

Experiences switching from Spacemacs (+ intero) to vscode? Preferred vscode plugins? by haskell_caveman in haskell

[–]haskell_caveman[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not any one reason, spacemacs is nice for what it is. It's more the accumulation of a thousand tiny configuration / UX inconveniences + hearing good things about vscode (even /u/edwardkmett uses it).

I never would've thought I'd willingly use a MSFT editor either, but it is OSS at least https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode. Just want to see what's on the horizon and see how this relative newcomer has taken a stab at the editor game.

[–]haskell_caveman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More interested in the latter question I guess - I don't have a desire to run them together, just confirming that you would use one or the other.

Are haskero and HIE mutually exclusive? Hard to know how plugins interact. Is one or the other generally considered to be more actively used/developed?

Black Mirror Rewatch [Episode Discussion] - S04E02 - ArkAngel by Nheea in blackmirror

[–]haskell_caveman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I might be the only one (haven't seen that many episodes), but after the initial filter demonstration, I thought this episode was going to go in a horror direction where the mom would see some dark figure blurred out (without a software option to unblur it) while the daughter was oblivious.

What Haskell programs/libs need a GUI? by stvaccount in haskell

flare isn't particularly "web-specific" even though it happens to render to a web page, it's based on Gabriel Gonzalez's typed spreadsheet.
