I'm curious what kind of project you are working on? I'm working on a procedural terrain generation open world game! Now it's your turn to tell me!

I’m attempting to teach myself full stack web dev using my preferred tooling (Purescript front end using Deku and Hyrule for modernized FRP, Haskell Servant back end talking to a PostgreSQL server with Nix flakes gluing at all together) by building a web app for managing cannabis dispensary inventory.

Lately, I’m finally at the point where I realize/experiment with making the app domain-agnostic. To do that, I’m attempting to extend lambdabuffers to programmatically generate my Types (and instances eventually) so I can make my whole app (front end Types, back end Types, and SQL schema) more generic in order to generate exactly the domain specific app that I currently have.

Here’s the lambdabuffer I wrote to describe my Types (for example): https://github.com/harryprayiv/cheeblr/blob/delete/backend/codegen/Inventory.lbf

And here’s my most active branch at the moment: https://github.com/harryprayiv/cheeblr/tree/delete


I also stopped working on a previous, ambitious project aimed at building a decentralized fantasy betting baseball DApp until some of the tech I’m waiting on (crypto oracles) matures enough: https://github.com/cardanonix/pelotero-engine


I welcome any and all critiques and assistance in either of these 100% FOSS projects.

That sounds really cool! I've thought about learning to code web apps in JS so I could make my own website but for now itch io and steam are just good for me! Good luck on your project!

Thanks! It’s funny because I’ve chosen the absolute most obscure languages and frameworks (other than postgresql). I’m seeing zero jobs available out there for them…but I just can’t bring myself to learn JS, Rust, or any other popular tech stack over Haskell and Purescript..and I’d hate to work in any other stack, TBH.

I’m basically unemployable but happy! ;)

Currently working on The Next Big Thing™️ in the Linux community.

Free tech tip: turn off auto updates on your servers so that you always run proven and stable software :3c

Jia Tan was the username used by a group


probably a state intelligence agency


on GitHub to try to attack the xz open source package. The effort aimed at trying to take over the project, and lasted for years. They managed to get a compromised package briefly into the unstable versions of some major Linux distros that created a backdoor in the openssh daemon and came close to being widely deployed across Linux servers, which would have been a very severe compromise of a huge range of systems. The account vanished when the compromise was discovered.

The user here is, as a joke, using the same name.
