Big news! @HaskellOrg Committee and @HaskellFound are uniting to form a single non-profit. This merger strengthens our shared mission to support the #Haskell language, its community, and the future of functional programming. blog.haskell.org/haskell-fou…

Me, on Virginia Public Radio:
“This is really the first time that automakers are being told that they will need to take into account pedestrian safety in the physical design of their vehicles. This has never actually happened before in America.”

Finally, the Biden administration is taking a stand against car bloat.
@NHTSAgov has proposed banning SUV & pickup hood designs that are especially likely to cause head injuries.
In @FastCompany, I explained why this could be a watershed moment. 🧵

Chipmakers puting AI cores in your CPU and not letting you use them for absolutely anything is the biggest waste of silicon in the history of modern computing.
Those tensor cores are godsend for things like large-scale CAD simulations but there's absolutely no way to access them

The four questions I was taught to ask before writing something are:
- Is it clear?
- Is it true?
- Is it necessary?
- Is it kind?
They're not all needed at all times, and they conflict, but I think you should think carefully before dropping any of them. Especially kindness.

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

What if we designed cities, and the land-uses, densities and infrastructure that make them what they are, so that daily activity and exercise was just an obvious and ordinary part of every day life?
It’s actually not that hard. You just have to change priorities. #HealthyCities

Absolutely delighted to share with everyone that I've been elected as one of the new #Haskell Core Libraries Committee (CLC) members! 🎉🥳
I'm going to write more about my plans and what's happening in CLC at the moment, so stay tuned! 🎶

If your compiler is a library that includes a interpreter that can execute compiled code you have a poor mans jit in your hands.

Yet another application of delimited continuation primops in GHC 9.6 - Reverse-Mode Automatic Differentiation, in the spirit of ad-delcont. It performs quite well, when using new primops instead of ContT. What a joy! github.com/konn/ad-delcont-p…

Manually maintained #Haskell dependency version bounds are not only tedious, but also often a lie (i.e. unchecked by CI). So let’s stop doing that, and instead derive them from the actual CI builds! See
github.com/nomeata/cabal-pla… for more explanation and a new tool.
