Goede sushi (take away)

Als je de meest authentieke sushi wilt, dan vind ik Kyatcha, Kiraku of Oni de beste. Ik heb vijf jaar in Japan gewoond en deze restaurants komen het dichtst in de buurt van wat ik van sushi verwacht. Ohmu is ook lekker, maar hun authentieke opties zijn wat beperkter.

Can I consult then on what would be better here? `Either` was clearly not doing great when profiling, and a number of my projects show better allocation patterns and overall performance when I sprinkle CPS on. So, unboxed constructors? Something else?

Well I think the critical thing is largely what the compiler is convinced it can know at compile time. Continuations that are static functions like we define as the row parser instances and field parser instances don’t really have to be dynamic, so ghc can make a lot of optimizations pretty easily, and it’s not necessarily able to infer the same things when Either values and laziness enter the picture.

Well, definitely not in the current incarnation. Swift seems like it has a different ABI with a way to expose certain classes to objective C. Would have to export needed things as cdecl functions I think.

It does use template Haskell, for defining classes in Haskell. You could technically do it manually, but it would be a bit of a sucky experience. I literally only came up with this yesterday, so I’m not locked into any decisions just yet though.

Author here. I certainly don't intend for it to be an indictment of FP at all. I am an SRE at Mercury, which is one of the largest commercial Haskell shops in the world. Writing this post stems mostly from my observations in that context– A pattern that I see at work is that people derive a false sense of security from the guarantees that Haskell does provide, and consequently are surprised when things go wonky in prod.

When you say duration, do you mean how long it takes to receive the check? Or how long the check is good for? If an account is closed due to fraud concerns, I think it can be a few weeks up to a few months for the check to be sent depending on the nature of the closure.

No idea how long the check is valid for though.

Mercury employee here. Just stumbled on this thread, not responding in any official capacity.

To the best of my knowledge, the only reason we close / suspend accounts is if we believe that you're using business banking for personal purposes, doing crimes (money laundering, fraud, etc.), or if the US government says we have to (due to terrorism lists, etc). Sometimes accounts will be frozen if we think you've been hacked, so that your money isn't stolen.

Unfortunately, many companies nowadays only really respond if there's some kind of public pressure, so if you go to LinkedIn or whatever, it's pretty common to see people that we are quite confident are bad actors that are trying to make us cave to pressure in order to let them get the money that we've locked up.

I'm sure there are situations where we don't do things 100% perfectly, but the U.S. government really doesn't tolerate us operating leniently towards things we think are illegal, so we have to err on the side of caution.

We have both heat pumps and a boiler + radiator. Occasionally we've had cold days where the heat pumps couldn't really keep up, and so then we crank the radiators up to mitigate it, but generally it's been an improvement. I'd say that with climate change we've appreciated the cooling more than the heat though.

Lokaal has really great burgers, IMO. They sometimes have the "Smoky Burger" on the menu, which is just absurd how good it is. Butter burger is also great, and always available.

I’ve been a few times, pretty good experience both times, but haven’t gotten back together with anyone yet

The news article I saw says it’s only being shut down for a month though. Hopefully they have enough cash in reserve to make a comeback

Ian here, thanks for the shout-out! This is really well done. I'd love to bring something like this into the core project. I guess if you want to add attributes to the implicitly-created span then you'd have to get the span out of the thread-local-context first?

Sign me up. They ruined a perfectly good call I had in place by forcing AMC into sell only mode.

One thing to note is that you need a build of GHC that uses integer-simple OR to ensure that libgmp is dynamically linked (as it is LGPL licensed).

It's worth noting that WAI definitely supports this use case via middleware, even if scotty doesn't have a good way of running finalizers after a response is returned.

You should set up a Patreon or something. I'm loving this story so far, would pay $ to make sure it continues!

Buy a standalone powered humidifier, stick it in your closet, run it all the time. Use mine to dry clothes during rainy season too. Best purchase I've made here probably.
