Why does squinting seem to improve our sight?

Is that the principle of laser eye surgery? By burning eyeballs thinner thus reduces the refraction?

When it is injected into an animal, their body generates antibodies that are specific to that venom which flag the venom molecules for destruction by the animals immune system.

Given an antigen/venom, what makes the animals' immune system capable of creating the antibody that can fight off the venom?

Would our immune system fail to create antibodies at all if the antigens are too complex? And what are some of the other reasons it can fail?

What are the factors that cause the delay of the antibody generation? I guess it takes time for the immune system system to figure out how to create the antidote, but how does the 'figuring out" work?

Is it possible to get luakit on Windows or Mac OS X? or is there a plan to port it to platforms other than Linux?

Simply copy the tagbar-haskell.vim from the util folder in lushtags source repo to your vim's pulgin folder, e.g. ~./vim/plugin/

This works for me

By making some use of randomness, ... we'll code up a complete treap implementation in Lisp (particularly, pylisp) that is also fully functional.

How can the code be functional(as in pure functional programming) if the algorithm uses randomness.

Maybe I don't understand the syntax, but the function set doesn't seem to be pure at all due to the use of (random.randint 0 1000000000)?

Or does he mean functional as usable/working?

Cool, thanks for the info.

Yeah it does seem to be an encoding issue, but it's interesting that the one I built doesn't crash but yours does. It might be due to the ghc I used was about two-year old and the bug was only introduced in a later version...

paradoxiology · 9 months

I actually used the exact same command to make the build, but also ran it through an exe compressor, which made the file much smaller.

As for the crashing, I'm afraid I can't offer any insight without knowing a bit more info. Have you tried downloading the pre-built exe, doe that crash on your machine too?

Nice! Looking back at my own code, even my imperative mind thinks it's ugly :)

I'm sure those 'seq's are unnecessary, this part of the code was written a year back, at that time I was bitten pretty badly by space leaks from another project, which made me wary of any possible leaks for a short burst(pretty sure it is unnecessary and unjustified here)

Hi Peaker, these are excellent, I can't thank you enough for all the suggestions, appreciate all the time and effort!

And then you wouldn't have to use head/tail, just x or xs. Avoid head/tail like the plague! Sure they will be correct in your use now. But what if you change something or move it around? No use getting a runtime crash as a result of a refactoring.

Point taken, they are two of the few functions from Prelude that can throw run time errors when encountering invalid inputs.

Sorry, I'll fix the bug in the next version, in the meantime please check out this thread

Just replace 'start' with 'open'(OS X) or 'xdg-open'(Linux) at line 197 of Navigation.hs

Yeah, certainly, I'm alway learning Will definely run it through hlint. I'm sure there'll be pages of things to improve.

I started the project way back last year, worked on it for a week then stopped for a year without touching anything Haskell related, only very recently picked it up again and make it half polished and presentable.

paradoxiology · 9 months

Ouch, for *nix, just replace 'start' with 'open'

Thanks again. I'll pull/merge with your and fryguybob's branches later today(out of town ATM) Take care!

paradoxiology · 9 months

Thank you very much for the comprehensive compile guide, appreciate the effort. I should have cabalise it earlier, but this is my first presentable Haskell project, and I'm still in the process of understanding its ecosystem. Thanks!

paradoxiology · 9 months

Thanks for the response; in the future version I'm planning to make it more customisable, using either cmd opts or a separate file.

That would certainly be awsome, but no, it'll just open image links with your default browser.

I understand D has a more advanced compile-time code execution mechanism, so a couple of questions:

Obviously only side-effect free functions can be executed at compile-time, so how does the compiler guarantee that?(I can vaguely remeber D has a way to flag functions as pure?)
Is it possible to execute hash(string) at compile time? For example:

const int h = hash("Hello World!");
