FF: Deadbolt Retrofit
4 Responses to "FF: Deadbolt Retrofit"

When I worked in the hospital, we used to drill a vertical hole in the push paddle near to where it enters the housing so we could secure unused rooms with padlocks. You could not get locked in the room because the inner pull handle still worked.
That worked fairly well for a very long time until an enterprising individual found that the latches could be easily shimmed.
- Larry Young says:

Now we know why hospital latchsets have a 5″ backset. You need to leave room for the replacement lock.
- Anthony Wan says:
July 28th, 2017 3:14 pm
Wow, what a waste of a hospital latch.

They would have done better with a Schlage L-series mortise lock with the push-pull hardware. The L9457 would have provided the latch, double-cylinder deadbolt, AND simultaneous retraction by inside paddle for egress (F33 function). For a non fire door, the L9462 x XL11-886 would have provided the double-cylinder deadbolt with the inside paddle retracting the deadbolt, but with no latch. Either would have been preferable over this garbage!

SIR – Jeremy Warner's forlorn wish (Comment, November 10) that Germany would allow the European Central Bank to embark on quantitative easing will not be granted. The German nation is ashamed of the mistakes of its forebears that led to the hyperinflation of the Twenties and is hell-bent on avoiding an encore.
This deadly combination of hereditary shame and stubbornness makes a eurozone implosion almost a certainty.

SIR – If the ECB will not or cannot act as a lender of last resort during the eurozone crisis, what is the point of it?

SIR – Italy may be in the wrong currency (Leading article, November 9), but there were measures the country could have taken to improve its economy painlessly.
In the early 2000s, I was responsible for a programme to integrate a British defence company with an Italian one. A review of Italian equipment programmes showed them routinely slipping against the contracted timescales.
When asked what they proposed to do about it, the response was a Latin shrug: they would do nothing because they were understaffed, could not recruit new staff as these would be impossible to get rid of when the workload declined, and could not take on short-term contract labour as the unions wouldn't let them.
Overtime was out of the question: the work-life balance would be damaged and they weren't allowed regularly to work extra hours anyway. Furthermore, engineers expected to retire after 40 years' employment with pensions of 80 per cent of final salaries, and their four years at university counted towards the 40 years.
Reforming these poor employment practices would not have caused austerity or unemployment – quite the opposite. But the practices were entrenched in Italian and European law – just the damaging route we are threatened with in Britain.

SIR – Can euro notes be called bank notes? They have a copyright mark, but there is no indication that they were issued by a bank, no location of the issuer, no promise to pay and no signature with the signatory's post.
They have a set of initials, a year, an unacknowledged signature, an amount and a serial number, but little else. They are pieces of colour-printed paper. Chocolate wrappers give more information.

Singapore pushes out rheumatoid arthritis app
SINGAPORE, 23 MARCH 2011 - Health agencies in Singapore have unveiled the country's first smartphone health diary application for rheumatoid arthritis.
The tool, called Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) mobile Web app, is said to help patients accurately monitor their disease and get timely medical help. Using a questionnaire that tracks patients' daily activities, level of pain and general health, they can input data through their phones.
The health diary application will then calculate the severity of their condition and present them in graphs or tables that both patients and caregivers can easily read, and print out to show their doctor.
The health diary application is developed by Integrated Health Information Systems (IHiS) for healthcare group SingHealth and Singapore General Hospital. IHiS supports IT functions across the country's public healthcare sector.
The software can be used on smartphones including the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices. According to IHiS, screenview has been optimised for iOS platforms. The tool can also be accessed through Web browsers Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox and Chrome.
RA mobile Web app is the beginning of a wider IHiS effort to introduce more mobile health tools. "IHiS and the healthcare clusters are now developing and piloting various innovative approaches to using phone technology to improve patient outcomes, reduce unnecessary hospitalisation and healthcare costs," said Dr Chong Yoke Sin, chief executive officer of IHiS.
Dr Chong added that the avenues range from mobile Web applications and software to tele-health hubs, and remote home monitoring devices for various chronic diseases.
It is estimated that about 45,000 people in Singapore suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic disease that requires long-term care and monitoring to minimise its impact on patients' daily lives. The joint inflammation and pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis can commonly impair patients' ability to function and lead to work disability.
The application can be accessed at https://mobilecare.sgh.com.sg

1st October 2014
We have been given a new assignment today which is title 'Illustrate a story'. Kash has given us our 'rules' they are the following:
– No longer than 3 minutes
– The only Props are: A Rose, A Watch and Water
– Can only include four lines of Narration (NO dialogue), if we include dialogue we need to include the line "Time stood still"
Kash has had us look at examples of 'film shorts' to see what we can do.
After viewing these videos I am going to try and keep my idea as simple as possible, yet be creative – so this film can be done in the smallest amount of time yet it will have effort put to it.
For a few minutes I am going to Brain storm and maybe use the props as symbols.
Same day afternoon:
I had a word with my group members, Tom and Liam, before lunch as we discussed our plan for filming. And we have agreed to do:
Today (this afternoon) – We each come up with an individual idea.
Thursday (morning) – We have a meeting in the morning to discuss who's idea we are going to film. We will be able to do filming because I'll have my own camera, and tripod.
Thursday (afternoon) – finish filming
Friday (morning) – maybe view our footage, see if there's anything else we need. Then edit.
Friday (afternoon) – finalise edit
I have an idea in my head – which I plan to write down – and I'll be doing some character concept art. But first my plot needs to be written down.
My plot is now done, and the plot is:
Time stood Still by Chelsea Burgin
It's a few days until Valentines day.
And on Valentines day, at a local University, there is to be a dance where couples can spend an evening together. Harold, a young man who known for being hard working – yet shy, wants to ask a woman who is on his course – her name is Bella. She is a pretty and confident girl (not a horrible 'queen bee').
Harold at first feels nervous but then seeing what 'time' he has left – he bucks up the courage to speak to her.
At the dance Harold is seen waiting for her, having a drink of 'water', and Bella walks in to meet her friends. As Harold goes to talk to her, with a ' rose' in hand , he then sees Luke – a young man on a different course – enters the hall with her.
Heartbroken Harold goes and sits outside waiting for the dance to finish when he's tapped on the shoulder. Looking up he's greeted by Lucy – a woman who is on the same course as Harold and Bella – who is holding the rose he dropped as he left the hall.
She holds her hand out to him to which Harold accepts, though he looks a bit unsure. The two share a dance, and by the end of the evening Harold is seen walking out of the hall with Lucy, holding her hand. As they look at each other their eyes lock, and 'time stands still' as they realise maybe something can happen between the two of them.
This plot was through of through thinking the symbolism of a rose (love and beauty), and using an idea for a couple which I came up with a while back. My goal or moral of this 'romance' tale is that when looking for a partner – look properly.
2nd October 2014
Started filming today, and we are going with Liam's idea. At the moment we have filmed some scenes – and hopefully we'll have all the footage by the end of today. Then that way we can download all we need tomorrow and edit the final video – ready to put on WordPress. Then we have all weekend to do our paperwork. My plan is to come in on Monday Morning – just to put all paper work on.
I'll ask someone in my tutor group if I don't know how to put on the video. So long as I keep calm this could all go according to plan.
3rd October 2014
We managed to get all the footage we needed, and I have very nearly completed my edit – I just need to add music.
Today it's tutorial at the end of the day – that is when I'll make sure all my paperwork is in order. And that my second video – which is my evaluation – is ready to add my audio of talking about the film (what went well, what didn't and if I was going to do it again what would I do).
While waiting for my reset password to freeSFX (a website to get copyright free music) I am going to watch my finished video, and write up my speech for me to record at home. So then when I come in on Monday I can upload my finished video.
6th October 2014
This morning I'll be putting the final touches to my paperwork.
I have scrapped the idea of doing a video review – since this will create more work and not enough time. Instead I'll be writing up my evaluation either as a detailed blog entry or an essay.
But for now what I'll do now is A. my second piece of work for Post Production and B. find another website to get some copyright music (I haven't been sent an email to reset my password).
Then tomorrow I'll be export my video, make up my menu for 'Illustrate a story' so that Kash will be able to find it.
My plan is just to put everything together and send Kash screen grabs so that she knows that I've done the work on time.
7th October 2014
My video is done!
I have set up myself a Vimeo account so my video can be put on WordPress – however I need to receive a verify email to start down loading videos.
I have finished Task 1 paperwork, my blog is updated – all that is left to do is write up the rest of my essay review. Then after doing this I'll check up my emails to see if the verify email's come through.
If it hasn't then I'll take photos of all my paperwork which I'll attach to an email to Kash.

We need a single supply, unity gain stable and low noise low, THD buffer. (In fact when we used single-ended input with VREF=2V, and the 4841 -Vcc=0, we have substantial nonlinearity. ). Which OPAMP would you recommend for us? The second problem is about grounding. We have significant noise due to grounding. What is the best practice for decreasing noise in our case?

Finest Pre-Amplifier with countless Features...
The PPA V600 was developed with the target to enable highest transmission quality
for moving-coil and moving-magnet phono cartridges. For this reason PPA V600 offers
balanced inputs via 5-pin XLR and unbalanced inputs via RCA.
Gain may be set with the aid of a rotary switch in steps of 6 dB from +30 dB to
+60 dB. The exact level balance is maintained by a potentiometer with center detent.
This enables a fine adjustment of even unusual cartridges to the subsequent equipment.
The gain cell itself is a very fast and noiseless balanced instrumentation amplifier
which is normally used for microphone preamplifiers.
Because of the possible balanced wiring to the phono cartridge maximum noise and
hum immunity can be achieved.
- Input-impedances are 9-times selectable by Dip-Switches.
- Input capacities are 16-times slectable by Dip-Switches.
- The equalizer characteristic may be set to RIAA, NAB, BBC and Flat law.
- A lo-cut filter according to IEC is switchable.
8 adjustment points inside the unit as well as high-precision and low-tolerance
components are granting the RIAA-equalization to be at least 0,05 dB accurate. The
complete signal path is DC coupled, all filter stages are passive by design. Of
coarse only selected "musical" components had been used for the filter design.
Balanced and unbalanced outputs with a maximum level of +28 dBu (unbal. +22 dBu)
enable stressless interconnection with the following equipment.
A built-in special wide range (90 V ... 260 V AC) low noise switch mode supply enables
hum-free operation.

It hasn't been a banner year for the Oracle of Omaha.
Warren Buffett has seen shares of his Berkshire Hathaway fall more than 11 percent this year. Even worse, Berkshire shares have underperformed the S&P 500 by more than 10 percent.
What makes this highly unusual is that Berkshire famously tends to underperform when the S&P skyrockets and outperform when the stocks as a whole do less well, which makes sense given Buffett's long-term time frame. Indeed, Buffett is well known for instructing investors: "Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful."
This year, however, the S&P is slightly lower, with a 0.4 percent decline. And while there is still a month and a half left in 2015, it is notable that this would mark the first year that Berkshire A shares have underperformed in a down year for the S&P 500 since 1990. (Readers might note that this excludes 2011, when the S&P fell by less than 0.05 percent.)
The most striking year of underperformance came in 1999, when Berkshire shares fell 20 percent while the S&P 500 rose by nearly the same amount.
Berkshire stock is the victim of a rough patch for the transportation and industrial businesses Berkshire owns, as well as some unfortunate stock picks. Out of Buffett's biggest stock holdings, IBM and American Express have gotten licked this year, while Wells Fargo and Coca-Cola are roughly flat.

BOSTON (Reuters) - Boston's landmark Prudential Center and some 13,500 businesses and residences in the area temporarily lost electricity on Tuesday, less than two months after a more serious outage.
Northeast Utilities said Tuesday's outage started at the same site on Scotia Street where a transformer caught fire in March, leaving more than 20,000 customers without power, some for days.
Northeast Utilities is investigating Tuesday's outage, which lasted less than an hour because electrical components were not damaged, said spokeswoman Caroline Pretyman.
She said crews have been working around the clock since the outage in March to replace the transformer, make other repairs and provide additional backup to the downtown Boston power network.

This evening, representatives of the BC Teachers' Federation signed an agreement-in-committee with government's bargaining agent, the BC Public School Employers' Association. The BCTF Executive Committee is recommending ratification.
"After a long and difficult round of negotiations, we were compelled into this process under threat of huge fines and further punitive legislation," said BCTF President Susan Lambert.
"We have been able to achieve some modest improvements but, above all, we succeeded in getting government take its concession demands off the table," Lambert said, adding that no other public sector union was subject to such an attack on due process and fair treatment.
"We've concluded this agreement in order to prevent government from imposing a contract that would further erode teachers' hard-won rights and do more harm to students' learning conditions," Lambert said.
The agreement leaves important matters unresolved. The agreement provides for no improvements to class size and composition. Despite the BC Supreme Court ruling that Bills 27 and 28 are unconstitutional and invalid, government refused to redress this legislation, which stripped teachers' collective agreements, restricted their bargaining rights, and eliminated provisions for class size and composition, as well as staffing ratios for specialist teachers who served students with special needs.
Lambert emphasized that BC teachers will never give up advocating strongly for the funding, resources, and conditions that will enable them to meet the needs of all students.
The agreement does nothing to address the wide gap between BC teachers' salaries and those in other regions of the country. BC teachers had wage freezes, which are, in fact, wage cuts due to inflation, imposed in 2004–05 and 2005–06, and now again for 2011–12 and 2012–13.
Going into this round of negotiations we were the lowest-paid teachers in Western Canada and also lagged behind Ontario. Now we will fall even further behind, despite living in the province with the highest cost of living in the country," Lambert said.
"We are required to open negotiations again in just eight months, and we will once again be looking for fair treatment at the bargaining table and long awaited improvements for our members and our students," Lambert said.
Teachers across the province will cast their ballots between June 27–29, 2012, with results of the ratification vote to be announced in the evening of June 29, the last day of the 2011–12 school year.
BCTF president Susan Lambert will be available to take media questions at a news conference: 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 27, 2012 at the BCTF Building, 550 West 6th Avenue.

A car service is one of the most important forms of transport if you are looking for reliable transport. The reliable transportation service offers transport to meet their clients needs. You can certainly save money by choosing a smaller car or preceding additional products and services, but do not compromise on safety, reliability, and transparency of service.
Booking a car service
You should be able to choose a vehicle that suits your mobility needs without any difficulty. The steps required to select a vehicle of your choice should be simple, and the online platform of the agency should also be user-friendly. Besides, the car rental service should be able to send the vehicle within 10 – 15 minutes of booking it (in the case of emergency).
The agency should allow you to modify your reservation based on your convenience. If the company does not allow you to change the reservation, you may end up losing money in case you have to cancel it.
The online platform for renting a vehicle should be safe and protected with the help of security certificates. Given the fact that you will be sharing your personal information with the website, including vital information such as credit card number, the site should be protected with digital encryption to keep your personal information secure.
The price should be clear and transparent and should include all necessary costs (e.g. VAT and airport charges, taxes and driver charges if applicable, etc.). The agency should not charge you any additional booking fee, and you should be able to pay the full amount of the rental through various payment methods.
You should have the guarantee of a reliable service, from booking to returning the car. In case the agency could not send you the car at the given time, they should notify you in advance to avoid causing any inconvenience.
Once you have found a suitable car hire company, ensure that you have raised all questions, if any, and also have read and understood the terms and conditions before getting into an agreement. It is also recommended that you go and have a look at the cars that will be made available to you to confirm that all the features you are looking for are in place. By doing this, you will be saving yourself from any future disappointment. If all the factors above are considered, then you will have an easy time hiring a car.

World Book Day! Thursday 2nd. March
Bedtime Stories....We all came to school in our pyjamas today and showed or talked about our favourite bed time stories. We started the day enjoying Year 2's assembly as they retold the story, "Guess How Much I Love You." Then we loved having some of our mums and dads in to read to us. A great big "Thank you" to Noah's dad, Catherine, Luke, Matilda and Iris' mums. DEAR - drop everything and read! We then shared favourite stories and reading with children from Year 2. We had a great day.... and we're all already for bed!
Thursday 9th. February
Today we did our very first St. Paul's assembly, in front the whole school with mums, dads and grandparents watching. We were very brave and spoke up beautifully and shared some of our learning by showing pictures, singing, story telling and even a little bit of acting! Everyone was so proud of us, our mums and dads, our teachers and our Year 6 buddies. We were proud of ourselves too!
...We went on a school trip! We went on a great one! We were very excited....
On Friday 4th. November we went to Nell Bank, in Ilkley, to go on a bear hunt with Ally and Jack. We went through the woods, crunching leaves and twigs, squelching through mud - thick oozy mud - swishing through the long grass and even creeping through a spooky, old house! The only way down was down a dark, tunnel slide! When we got our breath back we built dens for our bears with sticks, stones and rocks. Following lunch we enjoyed lots of fun and different activities, learning all about our environment, how it changes in Autumn and the creatures we live with. We learned what they eat, where they like to live and how to treat them kindly. We went mini-beast hunting, (we found a frog, a newt and a toad! ) pond dipping, (found lots of pond snails) and water play - winding water up hill and squirting bushes!
After all that we clambered on the bus and came home... very excited and very tired. What a lovely day!

Zenith leases back tankers to cut costs
By FWi staff
DAIRY co-op Zenith Milk has sold its fleet of milk tankers for 2.76 million in a move to cut costs and gain flexibility.
The co-op sold its 106 vehicles to TIP Tanker Services, one of Europes leading transport rental, leasing and sales companies.
It is now leasing them back, bringing greater flexibility and significant cost savings, said a spokeswoman for the company.
"TIP offered us a very competitive funding rate, and will implement a flexible vehicle exchange programme to take advantage of changing business requirements."
The first tanker has already arrived at Zeniths mid-Wales depot, replacing two smaller tankers, bringing tangible efficiencies in collection and operating cost per vehicle, said the spokeswoman.
"Any savings can then be passed on to our producers," she added.

I'm having trouble following what is considered a Link in the AD9691. On page 49 of the datasheet:
The AD9691 has one JESD204B link. The device offers an easy
way to set up the JESD204B link through the quick configuration
register (Register 0x570). The serial outputs (SERDOUT0+/-} to
SERDOUT3+/-}) are considered to be part of one JESD204B link.
Note that only SERDOUT0-3 are mentioned. What about SERDOUT4-7? Are these part of the one JESD204B link, or are these considered a second link?
Similarly, on pg 44 of the datasheet:
The AD9691 JESD204B data transmit block maps up to two
physical ADCs or up to eight virtual converters (when DDCs
are enabled) over a link. A link can be configured to use one,
two, or four JESD204B lanes.
This statement only accounts for 4 of the 8 SERDOUT pairs. Does this mean that there are actually 2 links of up to 4 lanes??
This statement seems to be in conflict with the statement from page 1:
Users can configure the Subclass 1 JESD204B-based high speed
serialized output in a variety of one-, two-, four- or eight-lane
Also, Pg 44 also states:
L is the number of lanes per converter device (lanes per
link) (AD9691 value = 1, 2, or 4)
However, Table 25 on pg 49 shows L = 1,2,4 or 8.
One further comment from page 69. Register 0x58B, bits 2:0 show the L setting. Value 111 is stated as indicating "7 lanes". Surely this actually indicates 8 lanes??

Placing the correct size rug in your space is as important as choosing the right color or pattern. A rug that it is too small will shift the balance of the room unfavorably. A rug that is too big, especially in open floor plans, may put the area designations off. There are a few rules of thumb, but a picture says it better.

Some people will go an awfully long way to yodel: the "Wildrose" yodel club, for example, has come all the way from Canada to take part in this weekend's Federal Yodelling Festival in Brig-Glis, canton Valais. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.chexternal link)
The Wildrose club was formed in Alberta 20 years ago by ten Swiss emigrants. Now there are 15 members of all ages and from all walks of life, some of them second generation Swiss.
Ahead of the festival, the group, together with the local Riederalp yodel club, gathered for a sing-song on the Eggishorn, overlooking the Aletsch glacier. swissinfo.ch talked to some of the Wildrose members about why they love Canada, what they miss about Switzerland, and whether it's important to keep Swiss traditions alive when living abroad.
Yodelling almost died out in Switzerland when cheese production moved from the mountains to the valleys. Alpine herdsmen and dairymen used to yodel to keep each other posted with the latest news or to drive cattle home, at a time when there were neither phones nor convenient forms of transport. Yodelling and the alphorn experienced a renaissance with the revival of folklore and the advent of tourism. Once the privilege of city guilds, flag throwing has been growing in popularity since it was first promoted in 1910 by the Swiss Yodelling Association.
15,000 yodellers, alphornists and flag throwers are expected this weekend at the 30th Federal Yodelling Festival. Among the foreign participants, apart from the Canadians, are groups from Japan, Italy and South Africa. The venue, Brig-Glis, is gearing up for 150,000 visitors.

Day after day, it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear,
Ghosts appear and fade away.
— From "Overkill," by Colin Hay, originally performed by Men at Work
As a solopreneur, fear and doubt are our worst enemies. They break into our minds and rob us of momentum, energy, and vision. Left unchecked, fear and doubt can paralyze.
Optimism and confidence helped us build our businesses; fear and doubt can destroy them. Here are seven ways to combat fear and doubt.
1. Pull your business plan from the shelf and read it. You were confident when you wrote your plan; revisiting it will put you back into that frame of mind.
2. Listen to your niche. Tune in to what your potential customers are saying. Listen to their pain. Listen to their wants. Listening will remind you that your products and services are needed.
3. Create a to-do list — one list for this week and one for the next 30 days. Seeing specific tasks on a sheet of paper will encourage you and help you focus.
4. Focus. Forget about multitasking for a while and zoom in on specific projects or tasks.
5. Exercise. Endorphins are powerful and they can turn your mood around quickly.
6. Adopt a spiritual practice. It will quiet your mind and make room in your head for hope.
7. Give encouragement to someone else. The act of giving positive reinforcement will remind you that you have the power to uplift and help others.

School Board of the City of Virginia Beach
Regulation 6-28.1
Driver Education: Certifications of Enrollment/Counseling
A. Certification of Enrollment
Form PPS-1116 State Department of Education Certification of Enrollment is to be used to document enrollment when a minor is applying for an instructional permit. No certification of good academic standing is needed.
If a student has passed his/her eighteenth birthday, no certificate of enrollment, counseling or good academic standing requirement is required. However, certification of having completed the classroom instruction in driver education, is required.
Editor's Note
Derived from Department of Education memorandum 8/15/90.
B. Certification of Counseling
1. Procedures
Form PPS-1115 State Department of Education Certification of Counseling is to be used to provide documentation that a minor, not currently enrolled in school, has received counseling on the importance of remaining in school . It may be used for those cases in which a minor is applying for an instructional permit or a driver's license and is unable to provide proof of enrollment. Students should go to the school of last enrollment for counseling.
Editor's Note
See also Department of Education memorandum 8/15/90 on Certification Requirements.
2. Counseling Guidelines
Counseling should be provided by an appropriately qualified staff member. The primary focus of the counseling with the minor will be that of assisting the person to understand the importance of enrollment, membership, and the completion of an education program. The counseling may include the following:
a. consequences of leaving school without a marketable skill (that expected lifetime earning of dropouts are less than half of those who stay in school; that dropouts typically experience higher unemployment rates than those who have completed their educational program; that fewer career choices, options, and advancement opportunities are available for the dropout),
b. recognition of abilities, interests, values, and personality traits,
c. goal setting strategies,
d. problems solving and decision making,
e. ability to gather, process and act upon information about self and work choices,
f. ability to perceive the relationship between academic content learned in the school and its application to life and career choices.
Editor's Note
The preceding guidelines derived from [State] Supts. Memo. No. 91, July 3, 1990.
Approved by Superintendent: October 19, 1993

Simon Peyton Jones, MA, MBCS, CEng, graduated from Trinity College Cambridge in 1980. Simon was a key contributor to the design of the now-standard functional language Haskell, and is the lead designer of the widely-used Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC). He has written two textbooks about the implementation of functional languages.
After two years in industry, he spent seven years as a lecturer at University College London, and nine years as a professor at Glasgow University before moving to Microsoft Research (Cambridge) in 1998.
His main research interest is in functional programming languages, their implementation, and their application. He has led a succession of research projects focused around the design and implementation of production-quality functional-language systems for both uniprocessors and parallel machines.
More generally, he is interested in language design, rich type systems, software component architectures, compiler technology, code generation, runtime systems, virtual machines, and garbage collection. He is particularly motivated by direct use of principled theory to practical language design and implementation -- that's one reason he loves functional programming so much.

Talks I've Given
Keynote: Compiling without Continuations
Featuring Simon Peyton Jones
GHC compiles Haskell via Core, a tiny intermediate language based closely on the lambda calculus. Almost all GHC's optimisations happen in Core, but until recently there was an important kind of optimisation that Core really did not handle well. In this talk, you will learn what the problem was,...haskell haskellx types monads compile compiler ghc
A reflection on types - Simon Peyton Jones, Microsoft Research
Featuring Simon Peyton Jones
Static type systems are wonderful, but they have their limits, and then you reach for dynamic type and run-time type checks. Haskell has had dynamic types for ages, in the form of the Typeable class, but recent developments has made it feasible to support type-indexed type run-time type...haskell
Keynote from Simon Peyton Jones - Into the Core: Understanding GHC's Intermediate Language
Featuring Simon Peyton Jones
GHC translates all of Haskell into a tiny intermediate language called Core, does a lot of optimisations on Core, and then generates executable code. In this talk I'll take you on a journey into Core, with several goals. First, if you ever do performance-debugging of a Haskell program you may...haskellx haskell functional-programming ghc haskell-ghc core-to-core haskell-core core
