The MeLE Overclock4C is a nearly pocket-sized desktop computer with an Intel Alder Lake-N processor that’s been pushed to allow better sustained performance by increasing the power limits. After launching the original MeLe Overclock4C with an Intel N95 processor in 2023, MeLe followed up this summer with a version sporting an Intel N100 chip. Now the company […]

Everybody loves to hate Frequently Asked Questions, or FAQs. More often than not, technical writers pale and stagger at the sight of hefty, unsorted FAQs, as if they were beholding a writhing mass of primal chaos. Others value their pragmatic qualities: FAQs, they say, lower the bar to contribution and are good fuel for LLMs and search engines. My opinion is that FAQs pose a problem only when there’s no strategy around their usage.

Hey everyone!
This is the list of all the changes we’ve done to our projects during the month of November.
Our website has a new look! The illustrated algae-eared rabbit nav helped solve the problem of navigating on mobile. We added a lot of information to this wiki over the years, creating separate portals for its evergrowing content was inevitable, we hope you like the re-design. Some of the content has shifted, and we’ve simplified many of the pages.
A couple of folks on Merveilles got together recently and made a Diablo Tribute tape. A limited run of physical cassettes are currently in production, but in the meantime the tribute album is available to download on Bandcamp.
Next month on December 6th, Devine will share the stage with Iszoloscope, Oddie(Orphx) & Creature at Foufounes Electriques in Montréal as part of AMP Industrial Events. Then on the 7th, we will both(remotely) present a summary of all the interesting analog communication schemes that inspired and found their way into Rabbit Waves and Wiktopher for Iterations 2024 organized by Creative Coding Utrecht.
Devine’s talk for Handmade Seattle 2024 entitled A Shining Palace Built Upon the Sand was released online(YouTube), we also released the written transcript.
Due to the ongoing Canada Post strike we had to close the sale of stickers in our store, we’ll let you know once we resume operations (this also applies to Patreon supporters, we’ll ship perks your way as soon as we can).

The GHC developers are very pleased to announce the availability of the release candidate for 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 am passionate about building computer systems to solve problems, and I like to examine the underlying assumptions of computer systems, from hardware to numerics, to build systems with durable advantages in their field. I am currently working on a startup, Aimcast that connects employees to corporate content when they need it before they know they need it.
