Sounds like you didn't read the post.

Obviously the illuminati can't have the slave class discovering their interdimensional portals. Duh.

Did they strip it down? I haven't opened it for the past several OS releases. It always annoyed me that they added so many conceptually different applications to an audio player.

I noticed that AWS Lambda increased the maximum function timeout (from one minute) to five minutes.

Maybe that'd make it a good platform for (something like) 5MinuteStorage. Store a file only in memory, allow a specified number of downloads within five minutes.

For source code repos, yeah. Otherwise, add .DS_Store to your .gitignore.

I felt a great disturbance in the Internet, as if hundreds of minds suddenly cried out for immutable data and stateless functions...

I love this kind of stuff. FUI for film is usually done in video editing software... But I keep waiting to see realtime FUI become the norm.

And I often wonder if practical UX can be created with that GMUNK / Ash Thorpe / Lorcan O'Shanahan aesthetic.

Thinking about this lately... I guess I'm not really a procrastinator.

What I am is always laser-focused on a project, and not at all impressed by all the other things that the world is trying do demand of me.

I'm certainly not averse to hard work. I often choose it. (And somehow the reward is intrinsic.) I'm averse to any work that doesn't seem to directly factor into the success of whatever it is I'm presently obsessed with creating.

That's fair. It's a Unity game. I need to update that page to reflect that it's been removed from iOS (not willing to keep paying Apple), and it's free everywhere else.

I decided it was more valuable as a portfolio piece than as product with abysmal sales (couldn't afford to market it; not sure if it would have helped anyway), so I made it free.

You can play it with the Unity web plugin (I know) here: http://luciangames.itch.io/oware.

I only posted it here because it's a game with no text whatsoever, and I found that to be a really interesting design constraint. But maybe I'm the only one.

A lovely little game with no instructions. Seems to be working out a bit better for you than it did for me (http://luciangames.com/oware).

Right on. Domain events.

Immutability is useful everywhere in the stack, even the database.

Hey, neighbor. That new house you're building looks an awful lot like a submarine! Why is that?

It's taking me a lot longer than expected to get productive in Elm (because of personal issues (burnout/depression)), but I'm convinced that the speed limit is going to be very high at that altitude.

I think that working at such a high level will enable an unparalleled dynamic between designer and developer.

My dream job right now is to be able to sit down with a designer on one side, and a (client / domain expert / stakeholder) on the other, and iterate on an interface in a very tight feedback loop.

I feel like Elm has really inspired me in a positive way, and is helping me to recover. I'm already feeling pretty endeared to it's community, and want to give back as much as possible, as soon as possible.

If you haven't checked it out yet, I highly recommend it.

It's been a little while since I thought about it, and I may not be considering exactly the same use cases, but I'm pretty sure I'd do something vaguely like this:

Initiator of session holds authoritative file. Guest receives full file upon connection. Diffs are taken on each change (onkeypress event) ( for simple key mapping invariance (♥λ) ). Shoot the diffs over the wire, and apply the updates.

Something like that.

Did you consider using a WebRTC data channel for this?

Lately I've been very interested in targeting the browser with Haskell, using Haste [0].

It appears that, at least for now, this pretty much always requires some JavaScript FFI work to actually do things in the browser.

This alone is enough to motivate me to keep honing my (functional) JS.

( It's also nice to be able to bang out something quick and dirty with minimal tooling. )

It's killing me that there isn't a good enough solution to this right now.

Some quick notes:

[0] Idris compiles to C, Java, and JavaScript, but is considered experimental.

[1] Frege compiles to Java, and seems to have fairly nice Java interop. It may be possible to target iOS via RoboVM [2], and the browser via GWT [3].

I've yet to really dig into either of them yet, so I can't claim any level of confidence.

My current best hope is that GHC's ARM support will become mature enough someday before Sol goes supernova. (Or at least before the effective heat-death of the universe.)

(I'm still learning Haskell and kin, so I can't be of much help yet.)

I can't personally recommend any yet, as I'm still warming up to it, myself.

Oh, Elm is cool. I get that. So is Haste[0].

But I think PureScript is a more practical choice for targeting JavaScript. (It generates much smaller, more readable output, for one thing.)

I don't promise to have my mind made up, though. I'm still furiously taking in all of this Haskelly stuff, and it looks like a pretty long road ahead.

I've been telling people that I feel like I've crawled into a tunnel, and can't back out again. I seem to have no choice but to keep crawling towards that tiny beam of light.

I don't know how many times I'd looked at the ML family, and just couldn't appreciate it immediately enough... but somehow I've managed to become completely obsessed, to the extent that anything less really turns my stomach.

Speaking of putting away childish things (like effect-ridden, imperative spaghetti code), PureScript is my new CoffeeScript.

I would love it if it supported more languages.

I'm currently obsessed with learning Haskell, so I'm tempted to attack all these problems with it.

I believe this is the author of Ramda, yes?

I can't find the talk, anybody got a link?

Are you sure it's not your modem? (Consider upgrading to 9600 baud.)

A bayonet for the M1 Garand standard issue rifle?

On Linux I always eliminate window decoration. I don't even like to have borders, let alone buttons I never use.

I really wish I could do the same on Mac.

But isn't it better to be weird than to be boring?

I'm just flat out socially retarded, and desperately lonely. Reading this, I felt a twinge of excitement at the suggestion that I might break out of the box with a little creativity. I kind of took it as saying, "don't be afraid to be weird".

I think my fear of revealing how crazy I am probably accounts for a good deal of what holds me back. The idea of it being okay to be weird, or at least, unexpectedly thoughtful and inquisitive, seems a rather hopeful one. (Sadly, I'm absolutely clueless as to whether that's actually the case.)

I simply exchanged it for the new model, without issue. Smooth as milled aluminum.
