Why HN links it

What Hacker News says?
“exhaustiveness checking”: automatically making sure that we’ve covered all of the possible cases anywhere that we interact with a piece of data [1] Typescript doesn’t do that. There’s a way to manually force exhaustive checking with discriminating unions: https://github.com/basarat/typescript-book/blob/master/docs/... However, it’s a manual workaround.

HN discussionAfter you learn to write miniKanren programs, you'll want to know how it works. The original miniKanren implementation combines the core of the logic processing with some crazy Scheme macrology for building a nice syntax. I spent several days puzzling through the back page of "The Reasoned Schemer" without really getting it. Luckily, you can now read the microKanren paper ( http://webyrd.net/scheme-2013/papers/Heman…

HN discussionYeah, I am really interested in this question: how do mobile computers become capable of much faster data input and more fine-grained control than the current point-and-grunt interfaces. I had a crazy idea for strapping a keyboard to the back of a tablet: http://adamsolove.com/articles/re-imagining-mobile-hacking still trying to figure out how to mock that up realistically.
