singpolyma commented on How Useful Is Linux Now? at Reddit, saying
I have never met such a person. If you wanted a tool on windows, there have always been ways to have it (cygwin, vm, or ssh are ways co-workers have used)

singpolyma commented on Google thinking about replacing Java with Swift? Why not Haskell? at Reddit, saying
I'm curious what you think Swift or Scala have that Ocaml is missing? (Note: I have worked in all three languages, some of that work in industry, so I'm legitimately curious, not shooting blind.)

I don't see how this changes anything. Lack of bash is not the reason I don't run Windows 😛

In fact, a read-only GPL'd ZFS driver already exists in GRUB2

If you like OOP+FP, check out OCaML, as per my comment that you are replying to 🙂

People excited by swift have just never been exposed to anything good, I think. I always describe this class of languages (swift, scala, etc) as "crippled OCaML"

singpolyma commented on For long term Linux use, what is your favorite way of maintaining and cleaning your system? at Reddit, saying
Always use the system package manager to install software, and only from official repositories, if you at all can

Maybe. I've run ZFS systems on as little as 1GB RAM depending on settings and usage patters.

Obviously ARM processor… what else would they even use?

singpolyma commented on Return type overloading question at Reddit, saying
You can overload two different types, but not two different values for the same type — how would it even choose which one to return?

Here's what I think you want:
```
data B = B String
data C = C Int

class BorC a where
    get :: a

instance BorC B where
    get = B "1"

instance BorC C where
    get = C 1
```

I've never had a problem with telephathy (either on n900 or using Empathy), but usually I suggest people use Gajim or Psi. But Kopete should still work (even if abandoned) as does Pidgin (even if it is a lowest-common-denominator client).

Conversations (with OMEMO support) is the same encryption protocol, but over normal XMPP so you can use it from anywhere. Gajim has an OMEMO plugin so you can use it on desktop as well.
