I was sure Shelter Song by Iceage would be the mournful soundtrack to England not winning #disappointed – at Paulerspury, England
Experienced this in 2010 because someone had done 10-99 as 1900s. I have a horrible feeling that the fix was change it to 20-99 and add a card to the backlog to fix properly.
Apparently a non-trivial number of systems are experiencing #Y2020 bugs. A common Y2K "fix" just postponed things by 20 years, interpreting 00-19 as the 2000s and 20-99 as the 1900s. 20 years is now up, some of those systems are still in use, and they think it's 1920. Oooops.

An approachable explanation of tagless final. But secretly, these are just typeclasses for Kleisli arrows. jproyo.github.io/posts/2019-…
I may have started a talk at our dev meetup today about type systems and ended up ranting about how algebraic data types are the only way aliens will understand our code. I have no regrets.

Let's talk about code reviews (again). I usually encounter two camps when it comes to code reviews: those who think they are necessary and good and those who think they are an unneeded process that slows people down (or a less efficient alternative to pair programming). 1/
Over the last few months I've stopped following a load of political tweeters and started following a load of category theorists. I've gone from feeling angry when I open twitter to feeling stupid. Is this progress?

I got an Nvidia Shield a few days ago to replace firestick & Chromecast. So far it's been great. UI is well laid out and responsive, apps all run significantly faster than on other hardware and just played Injustice 2 streamed from my PC with hardly any lag!
Saw Mogwai last night at the Mill in Birmingham. It was amazing.... and deafening. Ears are ringing this morning!

I spent yesterday evening tracking down a bug in Language-Ext, so satisfying to finally get to the bottom of it and get a pull request merged! github.com/louthy/language-e…
