I was reading the Input and Output chapter of Learn You a Haskell for Great Good when I saw that the author wrote this code:
Okay, one more gift idea for the 2015 holiday season before I go: Here’s an “R2-D2 Ceramic Teapot,” also from the people at ThinkGeek (who have more Star Wars stuff here). I have a cup of tea most nights, especially in the colder months, so I think this is pretty cool.
In case you need a good idea for 2015 Christmas/Holiday gifts, here you go: a Star Wars “Death Star Waffle Maker,” from the people at ThinkGeek, who have more Star Wars stuff here.
This is a nice quote from Roger Federer from this nytimes.com article about him still playing on at age 36.
As a short “note to self,” the quickSort function in the following code is from the “Scala By Example” PDF, and it shows a Scala version of a Quicksort algorithm:
I couldn’t get the Gimp “Reflection” filter to work (on Gimp 2.8), so after a little digging around I found that the GimpHelp.org website has kept some of the Gimp scripts — called Script-Fu scripts — up to date. So I downloaded those scripts, and then had to figure out how to make them work in Gimp.
Here’s a story about Chade-Meng Tan retiring from Google to work on inner peace and world peace.
A “fake oil painting” I made of a moose enjoying a pumpkin on someone’s porch in Anchorage, Alaska. See the original photo, and several more, at this Halloween in Anchorage slideshow on adn.com.
(I cropped the image, bumped up the colors, and created the “oil painting” effect in Gimp. I added the feathered border with a Mac app named EasyFrame.)
The truth about what Haskell functions return is spooky, indeed. #HappyHalloween (You can read more about this at the LYAH Higher-Order Functions page.)
