To me it appears that there are teeth on one "side" of the gear, but on the back of it is a flat surface. The valley between the teeth is sloped from front to back, going from a deep valley to no valley at all. At least, that was

When it comes to encoding JSON, you don't have to represent everything. For example, you can always do: object [ "foo" .= object [ "bar" .= [ "Yum", "Waffles!"] ] ] Which will give you {"foo

Integrates with Cabal might mean that Haste can be installed with Cabal, but I'm not sure (ghcjs for example cannot).

SQL as a string is not composable. I cannot give you a small query and have you arbitrarily join against it - I have to give you bits of strings and you have to glue them together in the right way. Expressing SQL as its AST lets you write c

Now I'm just eagerly waiting a Haskell and Perl library. Suppose that means I should get off my lazy ass and start contributing!

There is another option to GHCJS and Fay now - Sunroof ( http://www.ittc.ku.edu/csdl/fpg/software/sunroof.html ) - which is entirely inside Haskell - no compiler needed other than GHC.

The most famous quote for this is by G. H. Hardy, a famous number theorist. He said: "No one has yet discovered any warlike purpose to be served by the theory of numbers or relativity, and it seems unlikely that anyone will do so for many y

This is very susceptible to race conditions, which is why many of us want true UPSERT semantics. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/plpgsql-contro... is the current best way to do UPSERT in PG.

For relational databases, we already have some pretty good rules to avoid problems like this - the normal forms (specifically BCNF, which is "the" normal form to reduce redundancy inside a single relation). I wonder what rules apply to non-
