I get that sitting an excessive amount of the day, or wearing shoes for all your waking hours, can be bad. Is that all you mean or is there something more?
Apparently Cambridge Programming Language (more or less a failed language that became proto-C) designer Christopher Strachey had some misgivings about this usage of "else".
You're probably right. Windows Server / IIS doesn't seem like them
Ex: One good thing about the tuple example is that it sort of highlights that we can have mixed types. The bad thing is that it doesn't do much else..
Some repetition or easy levels do occur, but i solve them quite quickly so it's fine. One could even argue that interspersing easy and hard levels makes for good pacing.
I'm enjoying this game a lot!
Postgrest, returning/modifying predefined resource(s) based on standard HTTP verbs and whatnot, is at least as RESTful as most other things that use the term. Despite the imprecision, this is still a somewhat useful descriptor beyond "oh it's arbitrary RPC". And it's not at all like GraphQL
What I found most striking is that it relies on postgres for just about everything. Content obviously (sometimes straight from tables, sometimes via db views), but also users and permissions. I'd first assumed there would be a config file a mile long but it really is all Postgres.
(I mean this as a general statement. Idk how the language handles this)
My main candidate for this right now involves webscraping from a relatively small single source, structuring the data, and serving it in a different manner.
If I may tag on a semi related question: does https://hackage.haskell.org/package/tagsoup look like an OK html parsing library? Any general advice on choosing packages?

These hit pretty close to home. The thing is, at any given time I either don't have an actual project I'm eager / able to start, or if I am motivated to "get stuff done" then I don't want to complicate the effort with something new so I reach for more familiar tools.
I've considered building a simple CRUD REST API or small CLI script in haskell. Do you really suspect I'd learn much more than I would with Advent of Code (which I have done before)?
On the one hand, stuff like learning Hesod, database interaction, and I/O generally would be a real skill. On the other hand, one time I attempted to hack Postgrest to work for Redshift. It mostly worked (read only, no bells and whistles) and that was cool but I didn't really feel i learned much
I looked up IBK and was surprised to st Industrial Bank of Korea
They are cagey about the exact details of who is included at a given time. But I do know it varies by rule.
