IHaskell - https://github.com/gibiansky/IHaskell IHaskell is aiming to be (in a sense) a replacement for GHCi for interactive Haskell development. It uses the IPython framework (no Python code in main codebase, of cour

As the author of IHaskell, I'd love to know what you find lacking! (I agree that there's still a lot of room for improvement) The front-end is entirely IPython, so there's probably not much I can do other than contribute to i

Thanks! I will shoot you an email soon.

IHaskell is inspired by ihaskell-notebook, but instead of forwarding to GHCi via text pipes, it actually uses the GHC API to evaluate code. I think this will mean that the integration can be deeper, and it can more easily do things like typ

In addition to publishing the code, the IHaskell page also links to a blog post about how to go about implementing IPython kernels [0]. The implementation is entirely in Haskell and doesn't use any IPython code, but simply communicates

Thanks for the encouraging comments! I started working on this by looking at IJulia (huge fan of Julia!) and reading the source code and using that to figure out exactly what I should implement.

IHaskell in its current state is the very first step towards that experience. I'm hoping that graphing and numeric support will come in the next few weeks to months. I'm also not sure that the Haskell community really has somethin

Author here - didn't expect this to end up on Hacker News, given the niche interest :) Happy to answer any questions you guys have. (And if anyone has an interest in contributing, please get in touch!)

Although I agree with the general sentiment, I think I have to disagree with the sentence, "There really is no excuse for speeding." In particular, speeding is a norm in many places in the United States. If you are not going five

You're is exactly right. To add to what you were saying and expand a little bit: A principal ideal domain is a ring in which every ideal is generated by only one element, so whenever we see (a, b), we know there is some element c such

As I learned recently, there is actually a good reason why gcd(a, b) is often abbreviated as (a, b). Roughly speaking, in ring theory, an ideal I is some subset of a ring (which you can think of as a number system, sorta) for which a i i

Although I completely agree with your point - that HDR is a tool, and can be used for both high and low quality shots - I actually really like the second example you gave for what "bad" HDR looks like. It seemed like an artistic use with a

Thanks! Nice to know. I must've picked the habit up before from just reading code on the internet (as per my other comment in this thread), but I'll try to phase this out. This is what I love about Hacker News - people commenting really kno

For future reference (since I can't edit): I spent a while researching and couldn't find any definitive answer, but found some places which supported the implicit assignment ([0], [1]). However, these aren't anything official, so I think ul

Hey Mike! Cool to see circuitlab developer(s?) on HN! It's an awesome tool. When writing these blog posts, I usually create a single circuit with a bunch of disparate parts - I don't need the circuit to be functional for any simulation purp

Could this be dependent on the Verilog version? At the very least, the wire assignments without the 'assign' keyword seem to work in the iverilog simulator as well as Altera's Quartus suite synthesis tools. I have seen both conventions (wir

It helps to have some context. Being moderately aware of global politics, I know that Russia is considerably more corrupt than the United States. Russia is reddish; the USA is yellow-ish. The rest I can figure out, and the numbers and label

I think interpreting these posts in the literal manner that you and the grandparent are doing is a bit misleading. If you read what the OP wrote in the most literal manner, he sounds like a nutjob. You're right - there's no way to say that

This advice comes up very often when people write about re-evaluating their lives. (Also, this retort comes up very often when people read what those people wrote. I don't disagree with your logic, per se...) I think you're right, but the a

I've talked to some of the guys at Tutonic.com, and seems like they might be trying to do something similar. I can't tell if they're getting anywhere or have any users, though.

Wow. I am impressed not only by the new features, but also by that blog post. That was some really effective marketing! I'm particularly pleased by the addition of units. I can't count the number of times I've done some symbolic work in Mat

I'm not sure what you're saying is true. I, personally, am a huge fan of GNOME 3 and everything the project has done and plans on doing. Most of my friends (Linux users) are also satisfied, and have no major problems with it. But we usually

To me, this looks like a really cool tech demo without a clear purpose. I can think of several possibilities: For instance, teachers using this as a way to distribute examples for people to play with, as an improvement over paper hand-outs.

The point you make is really valuable. A few days ago, I found myself explaining to someone why custom hardware and GPUs could so easily outperform processors, and I realized that most programmers have no concept of how much overhead the ge
