Wow, that's cool. It even works for non-Bounded argument types, as in fn [0] = 0 : Warning: Pattern match(es) are non-exhaustive In an equation for `fn': Patterns not matched: [] #x :

Non-exhaustive patterns are one thing the compiler can't catch: fn 0 = return () main = fn 1 Giving an empty list to head/tail is another: main = head []

Whatever symbols you're seeing in RWH that aren't on that wiki page are probably functions, not keywords. For functions, you should use Hoogle. For better or worse, there will never be a complete list of infix functions for Haskell because

You won't find :: and => in Hoogle because they're keywords, not functions. For keywords, see the the wiki page that gtani posted: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Keywords I recommend reading Learn You a Haskell instead; the keywords w

Special operators out the wazzoo...Google doesn't help here - I don't even know the verbal names for some of them. Operators are just functions, so try Hoogle: http://www.haskell.org/hoogle/?hoogle=%3E%3E%3D

It would also be awkward if an interviewee wanted to come back to my apartment for drinks. Interviewing and dating are two different social situations with different codes of etiquette.

For the author, weeding out employers with that culture might be an upside. It depends what he's looking for.

Each colored region contains one circled point, and the region itself is the set of points to which that circled point is the closest circled point. When you hover over the diagram, your cursor acts as yet another circled point with its own

Why work for a company that would "use" a dry, factual account of their interview process against you?

We're talking about people who already ponied up $60. From that alone, you can't infer (a) that another $60 is a pittance to them, (b) that they own a MacBook or any computer at all, (c) that they are professional developers, or (d) tha

You're making the same faulty assumption that Marco does: that everyone who bought TextMate is a fellow software developer living in a wealthy nation. Many of the "cheapskates in here" are happy to pay twice, but recognize that it's a privi

In case you're not aware, a patent's title isn't an indication of what is actually claimed, nor is it a unique identifier. There could be several patents titled "Method to retrieve backups from the internet", each claiming very domain-speci

At one lightyear distance from the lighthouse, the angular velocity of the beam is 2 Pi lightyears per minute* Actually, that's the linear velocity. The angular velocity would be 2*pi radians per minute and is independent of distance.

Ask anyone who's lived/worked in Antarctica, and they'll you that humans still sleep when the days are 24 hours long and still wake up when the nights are 24 hours long. If you really want time zones that tell you when the sun's out, they'l

The article makes a similar point; there are plenty of viruses, like Hep A, that propagate in a non-"viral" manner.

If I told a YC-caliber startup that I'd give them $18k for 6% but wouldn't be able to make any introductions, then they'd probably tell me to take a flying leap. So, effectively, some part of a YC-like incubator's equity take is compensatio

I understand the distaste for negativity in general, but if you have a quota on the amount of negativity taken "from one person", then you're judging the person rather than the message. Why not evaluate the argument on its own merits? I'd l
