stack builders releases valid data ruby gem

We've released one of our first open-source Ruby gems: it's called valid_data, and you can use it to scan your ActiveRecord models for invalid rows. We use the gem at Stack Builders from time-to-time in order to "check in" with our datastore and make sure we don't have validation-related problems in our applications.

from type theory to haskell in 10 minutes

In this post, we'll take you on a 10-minute tour from Leibniz's effective computability dilemma, through Russell's theory of types and Church's lambda calculus, all the way to Haskell, Stack Builders' favorite strongly-type and functional programming language.
