The Haskell School of Expression is a beautiful book that I recommend to anyone that wants to learn Haskell, or to just appreciate functional programming. Also, I motion for a black bar.

On HN the top orange[1] bar is sometimes changed to black when someone significant[2] to computing dies. [1] orange unless you've got enough karma to set it to some other value [2] significant to computing is not the right phrase here, sorry for clumsiness.

#47Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray.
No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
–John Donne

It makes me wonder if in the very near future wearables will help give people enough added feedback, etc so they might get a few extra years. I'm sure someone with Paul's abilities had a lot more to contribute.
