thanks!

You are absolutely right, I forgot the '.'.

Ok then maybe it's just a matter of taste. I like the parser approach more: import Text.ParserCombinators.ReadP -- or the parser lib of your choice import Data.Char ... macP = coun…

This is the same for Haskell where it's also convenient to develop in the repl (ghci).

What is it with the obsession with regular expressions? They are useful things, sure, but I just use them in connection with grep or if I search for strings and normally they are p…

You are talking about halvm I think - is it still in use or is it a dead project? The github project page does not seem to have seen commits for a while, but maybe it just ... work…

Just wanted to say, kudos! I think it is essential for a language to have a good C interface otherwise it will be insulated. However some more example would be nice. Furthermore I …

... and one should always remap ESC. For me this was a big improvement (from an ergonomic viewpoint). My suggestion: imap jf

Maybe I should take a look at awk/sed but I never found its language orthogonal. For simple scripts I mostly use Python or Haskell via something like ghc -e 'interact ((++"\n") . s…

There is also a fun part in the documentation of xorg.conf, just do $ man xorg.conf and search for "nobody" ;)

If you are interested in chilled thoughtful gaming and have a faible for SciFi ala Star-Trek and Co. you MUST try FTL. It is one of the best games I have ever played and I do not k…

Yeah it is great if you can use similar commands across applications. Btw. there is also a nice history inside VIM (implemented as a separate buffer) that can be accessed using q: …

My biggest improvement was about finding out about .inputrc and configuring the Bash to use VIM-keybindings which is pretty handy if you are used to the editor. Also the following …

How does this work, if the kernel is supposed to be TM-complete?

But probably you get stuck in local maxima. E.g. if I am on Hacker News I want to find new and exciting stuff and not things I already know ...

Can you elaborate on this? I also use XMonad in connections with a simple xterm (although I used screen some years ago, but then I did not know about XMonad) but I do not get the i…

Yeah, I can feel with them and it IS hard to make money with FOSS software. I think the problem is that the argument "You can sell support and consultancy to your software." is a l…

Omg, some people have strange problems ... If you want to know how far you are you just look where the scroll bar is now, scroll down until the end (or comments) sections and then …

Because (static) FP is built on a sound and rich theory (type theory and lambda calculus) unless other language paradigms (e.g. OO). There are also different approaches, IMHO: FPL …

Do you know of any major prolog programs that are in use and where you think that they really are successful because of prolog's strengths? I did a little bit of prolog in a logic …

I am not sure such glasses will take off. You have always a fucking HUD before your eyes and I am not sure everybody likes that (I never tried it but I even do not like normal glas…

I live in Austria and cycling is very popular here. E.g. I use my bike everyday often multiple times it's the preferred transportation unit and I do not have to own a car and can r…

Or just use ghc -e, e.g. some useful scripts for interact: #!/bin/bash ghc -e "interact ($1)" line processing: #!/bin/bash ghc -e "interact (unlines . map ($1) . lines)"

I think it would be nice if there will be a world where you can express such a problem in a decidable mini-language where the compiler can deduce that the answer will be n(n+1)/2. …

So you want to reread an interesting comments section at point t1 in time (when there are n1 comments) but already read the whole section at point t0 in time (containing n0 comment…
