We’re totally off Google suite, Google docs, Drive, Calendar.
We’re using Signal and Element for chat, Nextcloud for docs, etc
Planning to publish a “how to” guide for other nonprofits and activist groups soonish.

Haskell IS a Great Language for Data Science
I’ve been learning Haskell for a few years now and I am really liking a lot of the features, not least the strong typing and functional approach. I thought it was lacking some of the things I missed from R until I found the dataHaskell project. In this post I’ll demonstrate some of the features and explain why I think it makes for a good (great?) data science language.

the one thing the whole mutex poisoning thing has definitely made me realize is that an MVar over a persistent data structure is just soo much better than a mutex over a mutable one in the vast majority of situations

The 2020's have to be the decade of great tooling for #Haskell. More investment in Developer Experience, reliable foundations and predictable performance will see us gain a lot of street cred.
A pure functional programming language has long been a utopian dream.
We suddenly have 3 strong contenders:
* @haskell.org with better tooling
* Lean 4, adopted by mathematicians
* @unison-lang.org out in v 1.0
Good time to revisit pure.

"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.

I really do not get the general urge among online academics to dunk on X area for discovering what Y area has known for decades. There are many reasons why this is unscholarly. To name a few:
1. Most scientists don't perform interdisciplinary research because it's explicitly disincentivized.
