You do understand that comments like this are actually building their case for problems in the community right? I've read several of your comments on this page, and you're the only one making accusations without any evidence, and

Are we reading the same r/Haskell? I've never seen anything more than minor disagreements - any trolling gets down voted into oblivion, beginner questions are always answered constructively with usually more information than was o

As a side note, Galois have written an implementation of Tor which happily interacts with official tor, for use in HalVM based unikernels. So, if you want ephemeral tor nodes, HalVM is a pretty great way to get it working. Edit: Video about

#haskell on freenode has always had s reputation of being open, welcoming and helpful. Try not to mistake pretension for someone talking about something you don't yet understand, which is very often the case when someone is accused of

Triple tap the home button and then invert colours. Not the worlds best solution, but does solve the problem.

This is big news, PSMA was basically setup as a for profit government owned business which sold this data at great cost. I'm really glad the government has seen how valuable this data is to the Australian people and business. Great to

I was actually a little annoyed the author didn't explain more, it felt like it was a half finished article.

My experience with the Haskell community over the last 8 years has been so far from toxic than I'm not sure where that idea could even come from.

I've used a similar construct in dealing with some JSON data recently, using Either String a: (?) :: Maybe a -> String -> Either String a Nothing ? s = Left s Just a ? _ = Right a foo :: Value -> Either Str

He seems pretty active in comments in the linked discussion... BUt I'm pretty sure John also carries a list around with him of reasons why he doesn't like Haskell, just in case he needs it. Truly unpleasant.

If this were true, then the patent is obviously invalid. But since this has never been the argument in court, I'm guessing your assertion mostly false. If you have proof that there was another company who had a product with this idea b

Your experiences are completely different to mine, and I've been a member of the community for about 8 years now. Haskellers are in general very aware of the flaws in the language, and this isn't limited to records - space leaks a

You're judging a whole community based on interractions you had with Haskellers most likely many years ago - dons almost never speaks publicly these days, since moving to SC (which is shame, he's someone I've looked up to an

It's curious seeing you mention this, while completely ignoring how overwhelmingly negative the linked to thread is, devolving into personal attacks for no good reason - the other linked discussions between various language communities

Yeah but that's just, like, one example man. What has Apple given back, apart from LLVM, WebKit, launchd, the viaducts, sanitation?

In hindsight, yes, but the fact a solution is simple does not mean that it isn't inventive. There is the possibility of invention in the use of technology from one field in another unrelated field.

My primary point still stands - the test isn't whether physical analogs exist, it is whether someone WOULD be lead to reach the same solution to the problem. I'm not sure I agree that someone, at the time, would have been lead to

It's making life easier for the user... this is one of the primary things that patents are here for, inventions which make life easier. And it's certainly not what would be considered "an algorithm" by any patent office

No, this is not one of a million nonsense patents, it one of a handful of patents which were close enough to be on the line between valid and invalid, and the decision fell on one side of the line. The vast majority of patents, even from Ap

I feel it would be easy for Apple to argue that is does have a physical effect - it makes it easier to access a locked phone than having to enter a pin, or one of the many other methods of unlocking electronic devices.

by axman6 11y ago
You're looking at the process backwards. Just because latches exist does not mean that, at the time the patent was filed, it was obvious to use a latch analog to unlock a digital device. A person skilled in the art would NOT be lead di

by axman6 11y ago
This is all mostly irrelevant though, and all of this discussion involves ex post facto analysis. The test for patentability is would a person skilled in the art come to the same solution without an inventive step - is the claimed invention

I just today had my Blunt umbrella[1] delivered, haven't had a chance to use it yet but it's certainly extremely sturdy and claims it'll withstand strong winds and i'm inclined to believe the claims after playing with it

Duncan Coutts has been working on replacing the current fairly brain dead Data.Binary encoding for Haskell by using CBOR [1], which I believe is currently on the back burner (more important work to be done elsewhere). The results appear ver

Sounds like you need servant, i've found writing pretty minimal web services in it really nice.

One way I could see to make this more generic is to provide the errWriter strict with a function to call on the error if it's not nil, but i'm not familiar enough with Go to know how we'll thug might work.

Like how Apple, Google, Intel, Nvidia etc. are exploiting the LLVM project? IMO, the need for GPL style restrictive licences isn't backed up by facts; more open licences encourage commercial use and open development.

I'd be surprised if Australia wasn't one of the first countries to get it; we've for a long time had very technologically advanced banks that are often years ahead of the US. Last I heard cheques were still used by most peopl

Seems everything is a fixed size so it probably would be an excellent fit. You'd probably also get constant time guarantees with Cryptol too right? From memory it wasn't too happy to do anything where the runtime varied.

Is that second implementation in Hacker's Delight? Also it'd be interesting to see how z3 handles the examples shown there too (the logarithmic time algorithms using x' = (x & b10101010) >> 1 + x & b010
