We're Sequin, an open source message stream built on Postgres. We think Sequin's cool, but you don't need to adopt the project to get started with streaming in Postgres. In fact, you can turn Postgres into a basic queue/stream pretty easily. Below, we share what we've learned so you can roll your own. Build your own...

Functional Programming abstractions have a bad rep for not being accessible. Or for being a tool to gatekeep. Or for just sounding like plain, psychedelic nonsense (bong rip Cotambara cofreely constructs costrength). I WANT TO FIX THIS I've been using pure FP in production for 10 years. I programmed in Haskell, OCam...

This high prevalence undoubtedly applies to many other companies as well, as the paper’s dataset consists of data analyzed by Tableau’s users. The...

In it he derives the distribution analytically, but also adds that Before I had succeeded in solving my problem analytically, ...

A lot of people think that functional programming is mostly about avoiding mutation at all costs. Even though persistent data structures are great and there is definitely some truth to it, this view just doesn't really hold up in reality. Many data structures fundamentally require some form of mutation (e.g. union f...

Go was one of the languages that I always was interested to learn, but never got the hang of it. I first got interested in the language when I was in my first job, between 2016-2018. At the time the language was a completely different beast: no modules, no generics, no easy way to error wrap yet, etc. Go forward 202...

Earlier today, I was reading a paper about monoids that briefly highlighted an interesting flaw in older versions of Haskell's standard library. The problem—although fixed later—still serves as an interesting case study for library design. So I took a break from the study session to log my thoughts here before I for...
