  I loved Dirac, but Google basically killed it with VP8. Hoping Daala kills every video codec and we can stop the war for awhile.

  Nextcloud is the same code as Owncloud. It's just a different name for the same product. Think of it as a new version to upgrade to.

• singpolyma commented on What is the point of Haskell packages managed by system-wide package managers? at Reddit, saying

  Sanboxed programming environments are a workaround for the problem systems like cabal have where you don't have a consistent set of package versions that work together, you have all versions of all packages avaialble and then issues can happen (causing people to say words like "cabal hell").

  If you use a consistent set of packages for all development (such as OS-provided libraries) this is not an issue.

  I work on many (many) projects at a time. Sandboxes (in haskell, python, ruby, C, all my languages) would just add more pain to my workflow.

• singpolyma commented on What is the point of Haskell packages managed by system-wide package managers? at Reddit, saying

  OS packages are much nicer than cabal. You don't have to wait for everything to compile, and you get stable library versions that work with each other (no different-dependency-versions, no annoying sandboxing garbage).

  You can use show as long either there is no read instance or the read instance works for all show output. However, make sure you output something sensible in all cases or debugging outputs might get weird.

  Otherwise, you should consider http://hackage.haskell.org/package/text-format-0.3.1.1/docs/Data-Text-Buildable.html

  A data with one constructor that takes on strict argument could be optimised in this wauy (I think). Otherwise the "optimisations" would add strictness where the programmer didn't expect it.
