[2] http://goo.gl/Qh6na Quotes of the Week * PenguinOfDoom: Being enlightened gentlemen, we split all programming languages into two groups, sucks and doesn't-suck and put all of them into the first group. * cmccann: beta reducing the chainsaws can be tricky * kmc: edwardk measures API lifetime in hours * _Ray_: the difference in mathematical/CS knowledge of the average haskeller, and the average PHPer, is likely similar to that of the average PHPer and a banana * quicksilver: [on LYAH] by the time I read it I knew everything it was trying to teach, so I just thought "Yay! Cute caterpillar". * edwardk: shapr is the only person i know of who just decides to drive across the country with a car full of machetes * copumpkin is now known as contrapumpkin. contrapumpkin is now known as yoda. yoda is now known as coyoda. + Eduard_Munteanu: Yonoda + coedwardk: i keep reading coyoda as coyoneda + monochrom: I read it as toyota + Eduard_Munteanu: Mmm, the monad is strong in this one... + monochrom: rumours actually say that it should be toyoda but the japaneses want it easier on americans, so toyota Top Reddit Stories * The Haskell School of Music - new book being written by Paul Hudak Domain: plucky.cs.yale.edu, Score: 66, Comments: 9 On Reddit: [3] http://goo.gl/9Jjrd Original: [4] http://goo.gl/r54xG * Confusion between (.) and ($) operators Domain: self.haskell, Score: 41, Comments: 27 On Reddit: [5] http://goo.gl/eFqRj Original: [6] http://goo.gl/eFqRj * Fitter, happier, more productive UTF-8 decoding Domain: serpentine.com, Score: 35, Comments: 6 On Reddit: [7] http://goo.gl/o2REx Original: [8] http://goo.gl/dKB04 * Static Single Assignment for Functional Programmers Domain: wingolog.org, Score: 30, Comments: On Reddit: [9] http://goo.gl/13sSP Original: [10] http://goo.gl/90MEH * [GSoC] Text/UTF-8: Initial results Domain: jaspervdj.be, Score: 29, Comments: 14 On Reddit: [11] http://goo.gl/nJ4pJ Original: [12] http://goo.gl/uPkBl * Data Driven Programming in haskell - live screencast.
