I helped someone plan to #vote tomorrow. Felt about 5x better than whatever it is I'm doing at my actual job.

@maralorn thanks for the tip. Admittedly, part of my complaints are just me working out an understanding of the language. I tend to hack my way through a language first, but I need to go back and read more documentation so I'll know about things like `trace` (I think I had seen it in a guide before but forgot about it)

I've been enjoying #theWanderingInn .

My heart goes out to the unnamed skeleton warrior, even though it doesn't have one.

@freemo Oh, it's a kind of fun, and the fact that I have to slow down so much is evidence that I'm learning, but I worry that the kinds of questions I want to ask and the answers to them are just evidence that "I'm thinking about things the wrong way" and you "just don't do that in Haskell". I've sort-of gotten over that doing pretty basic stuff with IO requires using an abstruse mathematical concept, but it's frustrating that I have to jump through hoops in this type system to do what I want while I still don't feel I'm getting much out of that system (other than the intellectual challenge).

Does anyone consider #haskell to be their most productive language? Tracing and debugging other people's code happens to be the most common thing I do (because writing expressive, stable, non-leaky abstractions is hard), but it's like pulling teeth in Haskell. If I understand correctly, I need to map into an IO monad (or whatever the hell you call it) just to print out some value in a function: how do you get anything done this way?

@pganssle aww, that's nice too 😃

@pganssle gratified to find someone else who appreciates a low desk. perennial problem for me: desk doesn't go low enough or chair doesn't go high enough.

I think I went with Fully because it was less expensive (10's of $$) and height range (though it only goes to 24.5''). Also free shipping in the USA. The cable mgmt is pretty weak though -- the adhesive-backed clips (clamps?) fell off repeatedly...eventually had to screw them on.

@pganssle Is that a Fully desk?

This is so dumb 😂

Gotta love kids show theme songs that say exactly who the characters are and what they're gonna do. 'cause these kids need the *facts*. Like, "Only so many hours in a day: I got blocks need stacked, toy trucks need a *vroom vroom*--what's👏 it👏about👏?

@cauf
Well, I was looking for XMMS2 buddies.😁 Sometimes I do throw a few messages of languages I don't know into Google Translate though.

@tennoseremel

@tennoseremel @cauf Ha, wow. We are a small minority. XMMS2 is pretty clearly in maintenance mode. Daniel Svensson is still merging pull requests though.
