hypomnemata··on Theo de Raadt 'Re: new: lang/zig'
I wish dang would remove the flag function or modify it in some way. I understand it's there to stop spam, flamewars, etc but it can be abused and kill any chance of a decent debate.
hypomnemata··on Ask HN: Which book do you want to read next?
Excellent website. I really like your graphs to quickly show where the book's focus lies.
hypomnemata··on Ask HN: Which book do you want to read next?
I'm aiming to read Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance. I'm always being told I should read it, but the title has always put me off.

I used to read a lot, but over the past few years I've read less and less. 2020 was definitely not a good year for deep reading.

hypomnemata··on Trouble in Paradise: Fibonacci
From the intro:

Haskell is a lazy language, which has its consequences. In this post I'll demonstrate just how easy it is to shoot yourself in the foot with laziness using the classic example of computing Fibonacci numbers, which very ironically virtually all relevant Haskell documentation gets wrong, given that it's the primary use case for Haskell.
