singpolyma commented on Define "Year of Desktop Linux" at Reddit, saying

Power users who are computer-literate can already move to Linux today.

This is an interesting claim. I can almost never get a power user to switch. Casual users I switch routinely at this point.

Not sure why the downvotes. My answer is the same (if less certain-sounding) as the upvoted answer.

There's a host of SJWs upset about a speaker that is coming or something like that.

singpolyma commented on Summary of the -XHaskell2016 feedback at Reddit, saying
It does not require OverloadedStrings, that was my whole point. Works fine without any extensions. But yes, sometimes requires parens as you say.

This is, in fact, what I do instead of OverloadedStrings.

Luckily, you can do this without needing an extension at all!
```
t = fromString :: String -> Text
s = id

t"hello"
s"hello"
```

singpolyma commented on Can we have -XHaskell2016 which turns on the most commonly used and safe extensions? at Reddit, saying
I used to think they could co-exist, but now that GHC+base can't even handle some standard Haskell programs, I think I agree with you.

singpolyma commented on Ways to use Data.Text without qualified import? at Reddit, saying
Qualified imports are one of my most commonly-used features in Haskell. However, if you wish to use (many) Text operations unqualified, you might consider an alternate prelude that prefers Text such as BasicPrelude

The GHC team already disregards the standard in unacceptable ways that keep me on old versions. Let's not encourage them to do more stupid crap.

singpolyma commented on May I Publish This? at Reddit, saying
You can't revoke the licenses you already gave out, but you can make alternate releases under any terms you want. The license is an agreement between you and others: it does not restrict yourself.

singpolyma commented on May I Publish This? at Reddit, saying
If someone else did this, it would be an obvious license violation. But if you are the 100% copyright holder, than you can do whatever you want, and are not bound by the license.

singpolyma commented on What do you think of the Haskell extenstions in terms of complexity they bring? at Reddit, saying
I always avoid extensions in code I write and stick to the standard. (Unless I'm experimenting with an extension intentionally to learn how it works, etc)

After a lot of playing around, my biggest vote would be for RankNTypes to make it into the standard eventually. This extension adds expressive power that standard Haskell currently cannot emulate without using dynamic typing.

Definitely. Ripple was originally envisioned as person-to-person. The financial institutions also being allowed in came later to "grease the wheels"
