Trump Won. Now What?

Voting rolls are technically public records but can be laborious to get hold of. A right-wing site weaponizes that information by allowing anyone, anywhere, to search for a voter’s physical address and party affiliation.

For those struggling to understand the US election results, I can only offer the following statistical observations: Roughly half of the world are of below-average intelligence. Roughly half of the world are of above-average gullibility. More than half of the world are on social media. Sometimes these combine in unfortunate ways. For those not familiar Continue Reading

The GHC developers are very pleased to announce the availability of the second alpha release of GHC 9.12.1. Binary distributions, source distributions, and documentation are available at downloads.haskell.org.
We hope to have this release available via ghcup shortly.
GHC 9.12 will bring a number of new features and improvements, including:
The new language extension OrPatterns allowing you to combine multiple pattern clauses into one.
The MultilineStrings language extension to allow you to more easily write strings spanning multiple lines in your source code.
Improvements to the OverloadedRecordDot extension, allowing the built-in
HasField class to be used for records with fields of non
lifted representations.
The
NamedDefaults
language extension has been introduced allowing you to define defaults
for typeclasses other than Num.
More deterministic object code output, controlled by the
-fobject-determinism flag, which improves determinism of
builds a lot (though does not fully do so) at the cost of some compiler
performance (1-2%). See
#12935 for
the details
GHC now accepts type syntax in expressions as part of GHC Proposal #281.
The WASM backend now has support for TemplateHaskell.
… and many more
A full accounting of changes can be found in the release notes. As always, GHC’s release status, including planned future releases, can be found on the GHC Wiki status.
We would like to thank GitHub, IOG, the Zw3rk stake pool, Well-Typed, Tweag I/O, Serokell, Equinix, SimSpace, the Haskell Foundation, and other anonymous contributors whose on-going financial and in-kind support has facilitated GHC maintenance and release management over the years. Finally, this release would not have been possible without the hundreds of open-source contributors whose work comprise this release.
As always, do give this release a try and open a ticket if you see anything amiss.

I recently put together a small library called Slop, for intermediate on-disk data representation for the search engine, replacing a few ad-hoc formats I had in place before. This post isn’t so much an attempt to convince anyone else to use this library, as it makes trade-offs catering to a fairly niche use case, but to explore some of its design ideas, as it all came together very nicely, in the hopes that other libraries can draw ideas from it.
