I’m not too familiar with the state of research but I’ve seen a lot of papers that use Haskell

Wow this really feels like reddit again. High quality comment followed by low effort award post. All we need now is an award speech edit

We thought about that, but this was our honeymoon trip and we really didn’t want to mess with our schedule when we have the full day wedding to take care of as well. Maybe next time!

Maybe we should pull a Hacker News and start a culture of putting the year of articles in the title

A lot of these jokes are literally older than some of the people in my computer science program

Wow this is exactly like the stock images of the internet as a whole 20-30 years ago. Amazing how time is a circle, hope federated stuff doesn’t get enshittified in the same way the normal internet did

It’s so much more expressive and looks like it has so much more creative energy than the New smb series. Excited to play this

Tips: check tabelog (Japanese yelp) for restaurant recs. They’re real harsh on reviews there – if a restaurant is rated above 3.5 you know you’re in for a good meal, and finding one above 4 is very rare.

We definitely didn’t schedule enough restful days upon landing, and next time we’ll be sure to take it easy when we first arrive. Best of luck planning your trip!

An absolute blast! So much good food there. We essentially planned our trip around the food and restaurants we would try and said “this is the best meal of our lives” on quite a handful of different meals lol. 10/10 would recommend
