I find myself thinking the same thing about every web based IDE/editor - how would you write a graphical application? How would you write a game? I guess its possible to install X on the remote and then somehow stream video over the wi

Even allowing for the era, providing the opportunity for a possibly disastrous effect to take place due to someone dropping the keyboard or knocking it with their elbow is inexcusable. Accidents happen - they should be minimized and steps s

These look neat and they made a great kickstarter video. They know who's going to want those (25 - 30 something guys) and they made sure to have lots of shots of cute girls using the skates. I watched the whole thing ;) It was also fun

You can also do this in Haskell using the State monad and do notation.

Would it be impossible for browsers to include support for more than one scripting language? I've never looked at the architecture of browsers but it would be fun to run pychrome or haskafari. Just because we all got on the js train do

I see what you did there, haha.

I'm waiting for my fully AR capable RayBans. :) Virtual Light was a cool book.

Or you can use do notation inside the state monad and keep everything pure. Then you get the best of both worlds.

But why (how) would a virus evolve deadly symptoms if it doesn't already cause deadly symptoms. I always thought that the rate at which Ebola Zaire kills its hosts is actually a hindrance to its further evolution. In general do virii t

While reading this I could stop thinking how wasteful it all seems. Here we are creating a complicated solution to a very simple problem. All the workarounds needed to navigate around copyrights violations is costly - for the earth! If Aere

After LYAH I learned a lot from doing as many of the 99problems set for Haskell as possible. http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/H-99:_Ninety-Nine_Haskell...

Yes - you can now compile Haskell code to run on iOS. There are still a few unusual steps that involve ffi but its pretty easy to get a trivial project up and running. I have an unfinished project that shows the process. https://

In the example you posted it shows an HTML page which I guess would be an easy place to put your SEO content.

I think the main feature haste is providing is Haskell to JavaScript compilation. That will increase your productivity by 1. Enabling you to lean on the compiler when refactoring. 2. Decreasing the time you spend debugging. The fact that it

thirsteh summed up my feelings in his response to your comment but I'd also like to add that a preference is an opinion and not a fact. You may prefer apples over oranges. It is not a fact that apples are better than oranges. For insta

What is the cognitive overhead Haskell is introducing? Types? Because as far as I can tell we use types in all OOP, they're just implicit and not checked.

Great advice, thanks. Are there any good resources specifically for volumetric, cube or voxel rendering? Is it completely different than polygons?

@gavinwoolery - How did you get started working with voxels, graphics, etc? What are some good resources for learning about this stuff? Awesome demo.

I always thought that algebraic functions are not guaranteed to be defined given certain parameters. It's just that perfectly algebraic functions don't throw errors, they silently return +-infinity. Like the asymptotes in `tan x`.

Today I learned that a bug of which you can only know either its position or its velocity but not both to any significant degree, is a heisenbug.

Why make the system language a Lisp instead of a language that is by default immutable? I'd think Haskell is a shoe in for something like this and you'd have a head start with House: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x

Wait, I thought they were using Chromium for rendering. Are you saying that chromium uses OpenGL or that they aren't using chromium? And why would OpenGL be the cause of shitty font rendering? OpenGL handles points and shaders, not fon

I just looked at the cabal file, which lists the build dependencies. Also, there's a lot of OpenGL code in the repo :)

This looks awesome and interesting. On another note it looks like the rendering is all done in OpenGL, which I have always wondered about - how often are IDEs written from scratch using OpenGL? Is it commonplace?

I'm in contact with olddatahands who started the project. I'll be helping in any way I can. Datahands take some commitment, but they pay off big time. It took me about 3 weeks of using them at work before I became comfortable. I&#
