Ghosts with the Most, Continued
A) the fabled Ghost Genie of Graceland, said to occupy the King's old rhinestone jumpsuits and known to terrorize tourists with his swirly bouffant 'do and tiny T-Rex arms
B) the Michelin Man after an unfortunate smelting accident
C) cloud porn (if you don't tell your kids, who will?)
Hey, that's cheating - the ghost is made of plastic! Thank goodness for the airbrushing, tri-colored tree spikes, and two disapproving pumpkins (see below); or else this wouldn't be a Wreck at all.
Pumpkin #1: "Hey, what's with the ghost's purple nose?"
Pumpkin #2: "I dunno - maybe he got a boo-boo. Get it? 'Boo-boo'? Ahahahha!"
Pumpkin #1: "Dude. You are so annoying."
Pumpkin #2: "Or maybe he inherited it from his transparents? Huh?"
Pumpkin #1: "Forget I said anything. Really."
Pumpkin #2: "Oh, wait, I know! He had too many spirits last night! Get it? 'Spirits'?"
Pumpkin #1: "Somebody cut the cake already. I can't take it anymore."
Thanks to Leanna P. and Shawn A.!

Bruce Reilly, a first-year at Tulane [University's School of Law in New Orleans] ... had pled guilty to second-degree murder and robbery and served 12 years in prison. When he was 20 years old, Reilly beat and stabbed to death a 58-year old English professor at Community College of Rhode island, capping off his crime by stealing the professor's car, wallet, and credit cards. In short, he is a felon....
The fact that Reilly is an admitted student in Tulane's law school should be at least curious and potentially worrisome to the students, alumni and supporters of that school. The Louisiana Bar, like all other states, requires proof of good moral character and fitness to be admitted to the bar, a requirement that almost always excludes felons – particularly those who have been convicted of a violent crime as heinous as Reilly's. (The fact that he is out of prison after only 12 years when he murdered and robbed an older college professor doesn't say a lot for Rhode Island's criminal justice system, either.) It is next to impossible for him to become a licensed attorney even if he graduates, as Tulane University officials must surely know.
As at least one student complained to The Times-Picayune, Reilly is taking up "another's space in the law school even though he may never be able to practice as a lawyer because of his conviction." But it gets worse.
Reilly is attending Tulane on an NAACP scholarship and a Dean's Merit Scholarship. The NAACP has made it very clear in its public statements and its litigation that it believes that the constitutional right of states under the Fourteenth Amendment to take away the right of felons to vote is "discriminatory" and "undermines the most fundamental aspect of American citizenship" (which the NAACP apparently thinks means being able to murder and vote at the same time).
As the hero said in my thriller HUNTER, correcting Edmund Burke:
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is an enabler."

Forbes: The finance minister has changed the direction of India's budget deficit by reducing the target for 2010-11 to 5.5%.
Jim Rogers: You really believe it will happen? Go back over the years and see their previous claims.
He has got a lot of praise for that in India. Still you are not impressed. Why?
Even if it happens, it is not being done by sound budgeting. It is from selling off the family jewels, if it happens.
Don't you think a high deficit was justified last year when the government had to spend and help the economy revive?
No. They are just trying to push the problems out into the future rather than solving the underlying problems. Do you really think the solution for a problem of too much debt and too much consumption is more debt and more consumption?
Are we not living in extraordinary times when we have to follow such flexible policies?
We are indeed. They are making the problems worse in extraordinary times which require tough measures to correct decades of abuse.
The finance minister rolled back some of the economic-stimulus measures he had announced last year. Would you have preferred to see a complete rollback rather than a partial one?
Yes. And more.
If you were to set an agenda for the government, what would it be?
Cut spending and subsidies dramatically. Many studies have shown that countries start having serious growth problems when debt is 90% of GDP (gross domestic product). India is now [at] 80% and will be [at] 90% soon under this budget. The subsidies distort the economy in less-productive areas.
Did you see any reform measure in the budget?
I see some words for some small steps in retailing and energy. We will see.
India doesn't have a convertible currency. Neither does China. You have backed China in the past but not India. Why?
I have pointed out scores of times that China is mistaken having a blocked currency. What is wrong with you?
No country has ever become a world player or even a significant economy with a blocked currency.
Some specific global lessons or examples that India can adopt from other countries such as China?
Open your borders to foreign capital and brains. For example, foreigners cannot enter retailing in India, but Wal-Mart, etc. are all over China. Your politicians close down free commodity markets every time prices rise as if the markets were making the prices rise!
Farmers can own only very, very small farms, so India cannot compete on the world stage, yet India should be one of the great agriculture nations of the world.
What will it take to get you to invest in India?
Some sense of 21st-century reality. Open the economy [in areas] such as retailing, energy, agriculture, etc. Make the currency fully convertible.
What are the lost opportunities in the budget, according to you?
The same things I just mentioned. Likewise why not start reducing the gigantic debt if things really "are getting better," as he claims?
You have watched India for a long time. Where do you think the country will go from here?
Continue muddling along until the reality of the huge debt-to-GNP [ratio] hits home and stops things.

Applying to law schools is a long, complex process that you shouldn't put off until your senior year. You should work with a Pre-Law Advisor to put together a plan to organize your efforts. And you should get informed about law schools and legal careers before making a decision. If you are planning on starting law school as soon as you graduate from Valpo, your general time-line should look something like this:
Freshman and Sophomore years - Concentrate on doing well in your classes, so that you will be a strong candidate when you apply for law school. Also, spend some time learning about careers in law and the legal profession so that you are sure this is the right path for you.
Junior year - Start preparing for the Law School Admissions test. Study on your own or take a course taught by professionals. Also start familiarizing yourself with law school so that you know where you want to apply.
Summer after your Junior year - Take the LSAT in June of this summer or at the very beginning of your senior year.
Fall Semester, Senior Year - Register for the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) at the beginning of the year. You will need to use this system to apply to law school. Plan to have your applications turned in to your law schools by the end October.
Spring Semester, Senior Year - In some cases, you may have an application decision from a law school before Christmas. Other decisions won't come until March or even April.

Thank you very much for sharing interesting thoughts. You're right, we don't realize that the way we design our home space can do much for the environment and for our wellbeing, it's only necessary to use a reasonable approach. The tips you have mentioned in the article are very useful for designing for our own lifestyles.

Bono's star-studded famine commercial has been banned from airing on U.K. TV – because broadcasting officials fear the clip breaches rules regarding political advertising.
The U2 rocker shot the minute-long advert with a slew of his celebrity pals, including George Clooney, Jessica Alba and Colin Farrell, to raise awareness about the famine crisis sweeping across Eastern Africa.
The F Word: Famine is the Real Obscenity, which was produced by Bono's One charity, is aimed at urging government officials to do more to tackle the hunger issue, but the TV commercial has now been taken off the airwaves by bosses at governing body Clearcast amid worries its message could potentially conflict with the terms stated in the 2003 Communications Act.
A Clearcast spokesperson tells BBC News, "These rules ensure that adverts aren't being broadcast by bodies whose objects are wholly or mainly political."
"One (charity) appears to be caught by this rule as they state that part of their raison d'etre (reason for existence) is to pressure political leaders. It also appears that a number of the claims made in the version of the ad that we have seen are directed towards a political end, which is again against the rules."

Welcome to what was intended being the ultimate night from the NHL normal time.

The one significant stakes absolutely are a several share details truly worth of lottery odds, and perhaps Connor McDavid's final force for Hart Trophy votes.But some i sues tend to be more important than wins or lo ses or individual honours. And also to enthusiasts acro s the nation wanting at the huge photo, tonight signifies a thing considerably more: Their past opportunity to see the Sedin twins in motion.It's been a whirlwind 7 days for the reason that Sedins dropped the Monday bombshell that they wouldn't be returning for an 18thseason. The announcement resulted in an emotional Tuesday night versus the Golden Knights, one which saw each individual twin have a rare switch from the shootout before the Vancouver group. Which was followed by Thursday's final household sport, one that ended pretty much perfectly.As a result of it all, tributes have poured in from about the hockey world, with fans, media, teammates, opponents and local community leaders lining nearly sing the twins' praises. In a very league exactly where it is reasonably scarce to discover players ensure it is via extended occupations without staying become villains by at the very least some phase on the fan base, the Sedins are likely out with near-universal regard and admiration.The sole damaging has been the schedule, which inconveniently serves up a road sport Chris Kunitz Jersey to the Canucks' year finale. However, if the Sedins' closing bow couldn't be in Vancouver, Edmonton isn't a foul second option. There's even just a little symmetry in participate in longtime Oiler Ryan Smyth had his last match in opposition to the Canucks 4 yrs ago, one that even noticed his opponents return on the ice to indicate their regard.We can hope a thing similar in the Oilers as well as their enthusiasts tonight, considerably similar to the second that Jarome Iginla along with the Flames the moment presented for an additional beloved Canuck. And when heritage is any tutorial, the Sedins will consider it all in stride, devoid of a lot within the technique for fanfare or drama.Vancouver enthusiasts, perhaps not a lot of.

While there's continue to lots of your time to obtain a offer completed prior to July 1, Tavares confident appears similar to a person who's willing to hit the open current market. The entire situation has been a me s, a lot of to make sure that if Tavares does wind up abandoning ship, you surprise if he indirectly requires Garth Snow with him.We will not get a very Luc Snuggerud Jersey last look with the other large identify that figures to dominate the off-season, as Erik Karl son will not be suiting up when Ottawa can take on Boston. He didn't accompany the group on its season-ending street vacation, opting to spend some much-needed time with his household rather. His year finished with Ottawa's 65 decline to the Jets on Monday, and he elevated some eyebrows by halting to gather the puck at the conclusion of the game. We'll see if Tavares borrows that shift tonight.Discu s amongst yourselves https://t.co/poPoqUvxKY Jeff Marek (@JeffMarek) April 3, 2018Other non-playoff names who could po sibly be hitting the market via trade or totally free company contain Oliver Ekman-Lar son, Ryan O'Reilly, Max Pacioretty, Cam Ward and Mike Environmentally friendly.

For 50 percent the league, those people times remain an extended way away, and there will be the perfect time to stre s about them following the playoffs. But for admirers of the fifteen teams who'll be cleaning out their lockers after this weekend, the time to think about goodbyes has arrived. In spite of everything, the off-season is hours away.

Mission 3 - Bloodline
Mission 3 – Bloodline contains One Key, One Secret Door, and Three Lost Souls.
Video Walkthrough
Dante is once again pulled into Limbo and needs to defend himself... by chopping some people in half.
If you've completed the level once this is also a great location to get the Where does the time go? Achievement / Trophy.
After a short cut scene, Dante gets taken into Limbo once again. Fight off the Shield Bathos and Death Knights with your shield-smashing Arbiter (The only Devil wepony you possess at this point).
Clearing out the small fries will bring out the tougher enemy, a Ravager. The Ravager uses a chain saw that can completely stop Dante while it causes damage. Try to avoid its attack, and deal your own combos before it attacks again.
When the area is cleared, head towards Kat. The alley will shift and break apart, preventing you from going forward. Turn around to find a Lost Soul on the wall above.
Head back to the entrance of the alley. To the left is a Small Vital Star. To the right is a door that can be smashed with the Arbiter. The door will be right next to a Divinity Statue. Through the door is a Key.
Re-entering the main area will bring forth more of the same enemies from earlier. Take them out once more, and some grappling circles will appear.
Use the Ophion Angel Lift to grapple on to the first circle. The Angel Lift will bring you to the second level where another Ravager is waiting. Take care of him to clear the path to the next building where more circles are.
Once again, use the hooks to send you across the way. Before making it to the next platform, try jumping and evading in mid-air to reach another Lost Soul on the side of a building.
Continue up the circles until you reach a red circle. Use the Ophion Demon Pull to grab it, bringing out another platform. Reach the top platform until you see two platforms rotating around a blue rose. A Secret Door is to the side, but you won't be able to get it on this play through without an extra Argent Key. This door leads to the Secret Mission What Goes Around. Wait for one of the platforms to slow down and flatten before you jump to it and the blue rose on the other end.
Dream World[edit]
Dante will be back in the world from the last mission. A new ability will be available as well, the Angel Boost. Use this ability to make the long gaps from platform to platform.
Use the Angel Lift together with the Angel Boost to traverse more of the area. The Demon Pull will also be necessary along side the Angel Boost. Just keep an eye out for red and blue circles.
Smash the glowing red chain at the end to return to the limbo world.
The only thing left to do is to return to the street where Kat is. Use the Angel Boost to cross the gaps. This will end the mission.

Sophomore Kasey Lange drove in the game-winning run against the Terrapins Saturday (Photo Courtesy: Richard Mcenery Photography).
SEATTLE, Wash. – Senior pitcher Rachel Brown showed her penchant for strikeouts, fanning 12 batters and leading Harvard softball to its first NCAA tournament win in 14 years, topping Maryland, 3-2 (8) Saturday in the first elimination game of the 2012 NCAA Seattle Regional. With the win, Harvard (34-14) earned the right to face Texas Tech in the final game of Saturday's schedule, while Maryland (34-22) was eliminated from the tournament.
With the score tied at 2-2 in the top of the eighth, Ashley Heritage slapped a one-out infield single over the pitchers head and promptly stole second to get into scoring position. RBI leader Kasey Lange came up with the big swing, lifting a ball to short left-center that dropped in for a double, scoring Heritage with the game-winning run. Brown was in complete control in the bottom of the inning, striking out the side to secure the victory for the Crimson.
After being held hitless through the first four innings, Harvard figured it out in the fifth as Katherine Lantz slotted a single through the right side to lead off the inning. A sac bunt by Allison Scott moved Lantz to second base and veteran Whitney Shaw roped a double into the right-centerfield gap, plating Lantz with Harvard's first run of the tournament. The next batter, Shelbi Olson followed suit, singling just in front of the right fielder, moving pinch-runner Andrea Del Conte to third with just one out. Freshman pinch hitter Emily Gusse came up big in her first NCAA at bat, looping a single over the shortstop's head, bring in Del Conte for a 2-0 lead.
Maryland responded with a vengeance in the bottom of the inning as a Kathy McLaughlin double gave the Terps runners at second and third with two outs. Vangie Galindo followed with a ringing double off the right-centerfield wall, bringing home two runs and knotting the score at 2-2 after five full frames.
Lange led off the top of the sixth with a sharp single up the middle but a trio of groundouts left her stranded on the base paths. Brown made short work of the Terrapins in the bottom of the sixth, picking up her eighth and ninth strikeouts of the game and keeping the score tied at two. Shaw drew a leadoff walk to start the Harvard seventh but the Crimson was unable to bring another run home, heading to the final half inning still tied.
Two Terrapin walks put the Crimson in a jam in the bottom of the seventh but a diving stop by Jane Alexander on a ball up the middle gave Harvard its third out and forced the game into extra frames.
Maryland leadoff hitter started the bottom of the first with a single through the right side but Rachel Brown settled quickly, fanning a pair in the frame and getting around the opening base hit. A walk and an error saw two Terrapins reach base in the second, but another two K's from Brown helped the Crimson escape the jam unscathed.
Harvard started to pick up the timing of Maryland starter Kendra Knight in the top of the fourth as Kasey Lange flied out deep to left centerfield and Jessica Ferri ripped a deep fly that was grabbed by the centerfielder near the warning track.

Eclipse Hate and Haskell IDEs
Maybe we're just suffering from too much dispersion in the Haskell IDE space. We have plug-ins for the major IDEs, but none of them can probably called great (I know, some people positively hate EclipseFP, but for my defence I'll say I get much more bug reports and feature requests than pull requests, I probably need a course on "building a passionate programming community around your open source project"). They however have the massive advantage of being able to reuse a wealth of existing code (I can use the Eclipse Git plugin to work with Github, I don't need somebody to write the Haskell version). An IDE in Haskell like Leksah or something built on top of Yi would be amazing to showcase that you can do real applications in Haskell (since you still get people saying that Haskell is only for toying with), but then you need to build everything, which requires people (see note above on building a community). Then we have web based editors like the offering from FPComplete, but for developers to use them on real projects we need to think on how to package a web based interface and what it means for a development work-flow: I'm not sure developers would embrace developing using a browser. Of course we have plug-ins for the Unixy editors, emacs and vim, but if we want to open up Haskell to non hackers, maybe we need something more...
So can we continue like that and hope to have a few decent environments? Or shall we all agree on a direction and unite to provide the one true development environment for Haskell? Sometimes people say "Haskell is so different and advanced as a programming language, it needs a new type of editor/IDE". I don't disagree with it, but who has the vision of what the Haskell IDE should be?

This probably qualifies as a radically different IDE

I suspect that haskell IDE are caught in the trap common to "user-fiendly" projects. Those who need them can't write them, those who can need them not.

Idea people are just like Apple fans. Blindly and religiously push their thing.
I use Eclipse (for Scala) for my day job. I use Idea some times. Some things are better! But some things are just bad. That's why Eclipse is my primary IDE even though that I use Idea "some times" for 6 years now.
I'm doing the most advanced Java re-factorings in Netbeans. Not Idea! Try to explain that to Idea people. I've tried a couple of times. It's a waste of time. You show them things they can't do in Idea. But they will not believe it.
Fashion plays huge role as well! You know what was _by far_ the biggest spike in Idea love I've seen in last six years? Dracula theme! Everybody excited! Really! It's the default colour scheme that's the difference!
Having all that said - Idea is really great IDE. Just not better that Eclipse. Something is better in one something in the other.
Having people cooperating on creating one or two IDEs instead of ten... the same for libraries... we may all be using Haskell for a day job by now. Unfortunately it's not the way it works. Most Haskell people will not work with you on Eclipse neither on Idea just because none of them is written in Haskell. If you gather 10 Haskell people and write _one_ IDE in Haskell you will not get in 10 years IDE as powerfull as EclipseFP is today. Eclipse ecosystem offers way much more than the git plugin ;-)
For the time being:
Thank you for the EclipseFP! It's the best Haskell IDE out there hands down!

«So can we continue like that and hope to have a few decent environments »
At least you should continue with eclipse, it offers the best and most feature-rich haskell hacking experience. I will explain that.
«Or shall we all agree on a direction and unite to provide the one true development environment for Haskell? Sometimes people say "Haskell is so different and advanced as a programming language, it needs a new type of editor/IDE".»
People generally dont agree on one direction as it comes to editors and IDEs. Some people like a rich and complete programming environment like eclipse offers, others hack in vim.
Please consider the following. If all haskellers suddenly would agree on what a real haskell coding environment should be and started to write it, you will have one that is able to compete with eclipse in about 10 years.
Do you want to wait for that?
People even don't know what an haskell ide should contain. There are only very wild ideas by now. Of course we will see some experiments, the succesfull ones could be integrated into eclipsefp.
Software projects this big fail easily. Software projects this big without knowing the requirements fail surely.
Of course, the community has lots of bright people, but there is no way they could magically rebuild an ecosystem like eclipse that has been developed for more then 10 years by hundreds of people.
The take from fpcomplete on this subject is a bit too enthousiastic. To be fair, that project is doomed. They have no change to build a system for real world development
interfacing with revision control, database systems, build management, remoting, etc
They might come up with an editor with syntax higlighting and some cool features.
I think its good to keep an open eye for innovations in places like those, but eclipsefp is definitively the future.
If fpcomplete would have thought a bit longer about what the software engineering process involves, they would have acknowledged that.
Be sure that what is below your hands is definitively the tool for haskell hacking for the year to come. :)

I think EclipseFP is fantastic. Not only is it very functional (har har), but I think it's a major selling point for Haskell among the very large community of developers that are accustomed to working in a full-fledged IDE. I gave a presentation on Haskell the other day to a .NET user group. It was very well received and a major portion of the credit for that goes to EclipseFP. If I had used a text editor + GHCi for the talk, I'm sure all the wonders of Haskell would've fallen on deaf ears.
That being said, I do not like Eclipse. It has a lot of great functionality, but the organization of things makes very little sense to me. Charitably, I would say that this is probably because I lack experience with Eclipse (EclipseFP is the only thing I use it for). But if I'm to be honest, I feel that a lot of Eclipse is plainly and objectively wrong. If I found something anywhere near as functional as EclipseFP for another IDE, I would probably drop Eclipse/EclipseFP like a hot potato.
By the way, I understand that we're pretty much stuck with the EclipseFP moniker now, but I think it's too bad. I heard about EclipseFP long before I understood what it was. Why not EclipseHaskell? Was that taken?

Thanks people for the good words about EclipseFP, I tend to get only bug reports, which is more depressing.
Daniel, I didn't choose the name. I think at the time it was started it was envisionned that the same plugins would provide support for OCAML as well as Haskell, but this didn't pan out. I'll have no problem changing the name. We could do a survey... HEclipse? EclipseHaskell? I'm easy...

For me IDEA is a bit closer to Visual Studio. I used VS for more than a decade and I really dislike using any other IDE. I do occasionally use IDEA as part of some consulting work.
That being said I strongly dislike Eclipse and would probably never use anything based on it. Very little of it makes sense to me. It is unlikely I will ever invest the time to make myself productive in it. Our company uses vim with ghcmod for haskell development and that is unlikely to change. I tried Leksah at the beginning but at this point we use our own build system so we would need to integrate it into whatever we would use.
In looking at the EclipseFP feature list I am not sure what its advantage would be. Before moving to vim I was pretty sure that you needed an IDE to build software, now vim with plugins has worked out just fine.
All this is just personal taste and some people do like eclipse. However it is passionately disliked by many people. I have never met someone who actually used EclipseFP.
My own sense is that haskell isn't going to to be made or broken by its IDE. There are too many other challenges that developers must overcome to be productive. Personally I would prefer something lighter weight like SlickEdit to a full blown IDE but others will have their own view points.
Best of luck!

JP, thanks for mentioning us in your blog. We will be coming out of the gate with many of the important features you mention. It is the first commercial Haskell platform for developing, building, and deploying applications into the cloud. Not only does it interface with revision control systems, but it has its own build manager, and is more integrated than "remoting". Our product is more than an IDE, it includes a Haskell Application Server that is deployed to the cloud today and soon will support deploying behind the firewall. We don't want to give too much away, but it has IDE features that go beyond plugins, such as tight compiler integration providing continuous compile, and live error checking and type display. And there are more features on the way.
In a few weeks we will be releasing an open beta so get ready to sign up and try it for yourself. Watch our site for more details as we post them.

I think eclipsefp is great. Lack of pull requests is perhaps due to lack of Haskell people with eclipse and java skills.
- Unknown said...
After repeatedly trying to use Haskell for small personal projects and small to medium projects for work, I'd say that for Haskell I want an IDE that does more than those of conventional languages, or at least as much. Due to the sheer amount of implicit stuff like inferred types, and the amount of control structures expressed as functions rather than specialized syntax, there has to be a lot of editor assistance for quickly understanding or writing (and indenting) the code.
EclipseFP largely fits the bill of a conventional IDE, but its the details that I find annoying and keep me from using it. Some are EclipseFP, like bits of lag when typing with large files, or icons that don't go away when I leave Haskell perspective, or the hoogle/doc system which only sometimes work and rarely gives me what is relevant. Others are with eclipse, like the somewhat incomplete vim mode, or the clunky, laggy, and slow interface.
And then I go and try to fix some of the bugs and I am confronted with a complex weaving of Java code, and I have to learn how ten different factories interrelate and how they plug into Eclipse itself... its all rather overwhelming.
these things might have improved lately, I haven't used eclipsefp in a few months.
- JP Moresmau said...
Unknown, I'll readily accept that EclipseFP is a bit of a kludge, and a bit rought on the edges. There's only so much one man can do in his free time, and we're limited for performance by the fact that we use external tools like cabal and buildwrapper, so there's always a delay and a price to pay. If there was a better way to bridge the GHC API and the Eclipse API (compiling GHC to Java?) it would be better, but I just don't have the bandwidth to achieve that.
Gregg, thanks for chiming in, I'm looking forward to see what you guys can offer in this space!
- nicholas hart said...
Haskell is too important (and difficult) to leave potential users with the uphill battle of having to learn eclipse AND haskell at the same time.
It's 'obvious' what a good Haskel IDE looks like, and it's not eclipse. It's a web based clone of Sublime Text with integrated GIT, hlint and cabal.
(as a vi(m) user of 30 years standing)
- JP Moresmau said...
Nicholas, your "obvious" IDE makes a lot of sense, and hopefully that's along the lines of what FPComplete will deliver. But I know for example some users of EclipseFP that use Subversion as their source control. They get a free plugin for that in Eclipse which they can use in EclipseFP. Who's going to develop that in your IDE?
- Yiding said...
(I am the last Unknown there, not sure why my name didn't show up)
I personally don't buy VCS integration as a major selling point for an IDE. There's a lot of people (me included) who'd rather use the command line or stand alone applications for version control manipulation than an IDE plugin. Similarly, I don't buy the "existing plugins" pitch in general. I've used IDEA and Eclipse, and aside from the VCS plugins (ironically), the other user developed plugins (say, the box-highlighting or vim plugin for eclipse) just feel very rough and half baked.
I like the idea of a web-based interface. Especially if it comes with things like full keyboard control and general extensibility. The backend that powers it should support a fully isolated (chrooted) environment for packages and dependencies. Something like c9.io but for haskell, and less buggy.
- Yves Parrays said...
@nicholas hart: Something lightweight in the spirit of Sublime or LightTable would be the key. You can't make everybody happy with.
Just like Yiding, I really don't see the point of having VCS integrated in the IDE: for git e.g. you have tons of good front-ends (I was a git commandline nazi until I encountered SourceTree), what's the problem with having it as a separated window?
I think most people expect 5 things from their IDE: live building & checking, full autocompletion, quick navigation in code and doc, debugger and refactoring.
For Haskell, they will also expect some quick way to see a value's type.
And if you want it to be really solid it should also be tolerant to code that doesn't compile in another part of the file.
Everything else (deployment to app servers, dependencies handling, etc.) affects interoperability so should be made through external tools (with possibly a _thin_ layer to be able to use them through shortcuts in the IDE) or else it'll be by default a behemoth and you'll be constraining people in one workflow and forbid people working on the same project to use the environment they prefer.
(Just how many times have I told people to stop using the Eclipse builder and to use Maven, so that other people are not constrained with Eclipse!)
So tools, tools, tools... are actually what we need. Tools like ghc-mod for instance, which is just some editor-specific glue away from being usable through shortcuts. A generic Haskell refactorer tool would be very useful for instance.
I'm not against a web-based environment, but it shouldn't be imposing specific technologies on me for annex tasks (VCS for instance).

(Sorry, forgot to edit)
- JP Moresmau said...
Yves, what you say is interesting, I suppose this was the idea behind Scion, and also behind my own buildwrapper packages: provide services an IDE may need, hiding the complexity of using the GHC API, etc... FPComplete did talk about this kind of approach (see https://github.com/fpco/haskell-ide/wiki)

I completely agree on the need for a functionally rich, stable and well-supported IDE in the Haskell community.
I know that a lot of devs are perfectly happy with an editor, a command line, and a collection of other tools that may or may not have integration in their editor of choice.
We are using Haskell in our commercial software development activities with developers who are used to having a modern IDE as part of their world. We also use Java, so Eclipse isn't such a bad fit, but I would completely agree that quality and experience of Eclipse leaves a lot to be desired.
Eclipse seems very bloated and tries to be all things to all people. It should be great that it has such as large and vibrant community, but generality is a hard things to accomplish and Eclipse is very complex/sophisticated.
I've used Leksah quite a bit and really wanted to believe in it as a 'native' IDE focused on Haskell. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have enough of a developer team to really push it forward right now. Maybe that will change.
- Luke Evans said...
Too bad I can't type straight... or maybe I wrote that last comment on Eclipse ;-)
- M15K said...
Eh I'm late to the party, but in hearing all of the responses I would think the "obvious" answer is starting with an IDE that has good plugin principles and is basically a shell. To be fair I think that is what Eclipse tries to satisfy, but as many have stated, not everyone has the JVM language skillset to contribute. I'm not sure how much Frege could add, perhaps interested parties could learn enough Scala to be helpful. I'm not sure what the answer is.
But a shell that can basically load whatever plugin environment that's desired, so if you want just a REPL with some code completion ... great. But if you want something that will more tightly integrate with an existing infrastructure then that could be a possibility.

Pertaining to chromosomes.
See chromosome.

Pertaining to chromosomes.
emanating from or pertaining to chromosome.
chromosomal aberration
see chromosomal abnormality (below).
chromosomal abnormality
abnormal karyotype; abnormalities can be detected before birth by means of amniocentesis, or after birth, but many are probably never observed because they cause death and disposal of the fetus. The abnormalities are either of number, or of composition of the individual chromosomes. Monosomy and trisomy are examples of numerical abnormalities. Translocations are examples of abnormalities of structure where parts of one chromosome have been transferred to another. The cause of these abnormalities is not known. Their importance is that many of them are linked with structural or functional defects of the animal body. The best known ones in veterinary medicine are those that are related to infertility, e.g. translocation 1/29, translocation 27/29.
chromosomal analysis
fetal cells obtained by amniocentesis or lymphocytes from a blood sample can be cultured in the laboratory until they divide. Cell division is arrested in mid-metaphase by the drug Colcemid, a derivative of colchicine. The chromosomes can be stained by one of several techniques that produce a distinct pattern of light and dark bands along the chromosomes, and each chromosome can be recognized by its size and banding pattern. The chromosomal characteristics of an animal are referred to as its karyotype. This also refers to a photomicrograph of a cell nucleus that is cut apart and rearranged so that the individual chromosomes are in order and labeled. The autosomes are numbered roughly in order of decreasing length. The sex chromosomes are labeled X and Y. Karyotyping is useful in determining the presence of chromosome defects.
chromosomal banding

Dirty Teen Celebrities gives us a sassy and just lusty young Victoria Secret's angel for this week's episode! It's scorching hot pics of young super model Candice Swanepoel while looking like a A-class blond bombshell for this summer's ad campaign of the famous lingerie brand. Apparently Victoria Secret is trying to seel the idea that being a swimsuit bombshell isn't a negative thing. It is a lifestyle and what a way to justify just that by having the burning hot young fashion model Candice Swanepoel pose in a variety lingerie and bikinis as well as promote some cosmetic products. Bombshell as a lifestyle eh? I can dig that, as long as they keep publishing sultry images of young skinny models like Erin Hearthterton!
I just hope I meet the stud who thought of this summer campaign ad for Victoria Secret. I mean the sheer talent of that person to sell the idea that a super model bimbo is a great thing to be and even have a young celeb tart like Candice Swanepoel act like one is just recomendable. Not! That was me being sarcastic. How hard is it to tell a burning hot young model to act like a nimbi in lingerie and bikinis? But hey at least we get to see this leggy young fashion model's burning hot two-piece and lingerie snaps right?
If you want to see more hot young super models, Hollywood stars and other innocent young public personalities getting sexy, acting slutty and just going raunchy, check out Dirty Teen Celebrities today!

A decades-long dream for Jim Stewart, who founded a coffee company and now serves as a mentor to the Vashon Island Coffee Roasterie, recently came true.
Last month, the Roasterie crafted a coffee specifically to be served for a short time at Canlis, the high-end Seattle restaurant that's widely regarded as one of the finest eateries in the city.
"I couldn't believe it," said Stewart, founder of Seattle's Best Coffee who today serves as the Roasterie's coffee broker and as a mentor to Roasterie owner Eva DeLoach.
"In terms of business volume it's not very much, but the fact that it happened is like being knighted," he said.
Stewart said he has wished to offer his coffee at Canlis, a favorite restaurant of his, for years, and he courted three generations of owners of the family restaurant. In the mid-1990s he hand-wrote a six-page letter to the owner explaining why Canlis should serve his beans. The owner replied that when the time came he would consider it.
The time finally came this year, when Canlis decided it would focus on a different coffee-growing region of the world each quarter. The Roasterie was able to schedule a cupping with a Canlis representative, and the restaurant chose a light roast with beans from Stewart's wife's Costa Rica estate.
Stewart says he hopes the Roasterie will keep up the its new relationship with Canlis, perhaps offering coffee for its next focus — Sulawesi, Indonesia and Kenya, Africa.

It's not every day a science-fiction author is hired to write a presidential biography. But in 1997 I was asked to write one about the President of Croatia, the controversial and authoritarian Franjo Tudjman. I am not an historian. At the time I had only one published book to my name, "The Official Alien Abductee's Handbook," a humorous self-help look at alien abductions. So why me?
That was the question I posed to the man offering me the job. Jakov Sedlar was Croatia's most famous film director, Tudjman's personal filmographer, and the man known as "The Leni Riefenstahl of Croatia," but without the German woman's talent. Jakov informed me that this biography was to tell Tudjman's story to America, and that my lack of historical understanding of the Balkans was in fact a plus. "You tell from American viewpoint," he excitedly encouraged me, "to tell how great a man Tudjman is!"
"Jakov, I don't know anything about Tudjman. Can I get back to you?"
I quickly researched the man, the war, and the war atrocities. While Tudjman was not Hitler, neither was he an altar boy. He expelled the Serb citizens of Croatia, and was complicit in many of the atrocities committed against Serbs and Muslims.
I was two years out of a divorce, deep in debt and on a heavy rebound. The idea of an all expense paid trip to a war-torn country populated with women hungry for anything American thrilled me. But I didn't want to become a propagandist.
"I can't write this book, Jakov."
"No, Joe, you must. Only you must write book."
"I can't write a glowing book about Tudjman. And even if I could, I wouldn't. I'd have no credibility. Why don't you hire a PR agency? There's lots in New York."
"No, Joe, you just write what you have to."
"But I can only do that if I have creative control over what's written."
"Yeah, of course. We give you."
"Are you sure? Do you know what you're saying? I want you to know that it won't be uncritical."
"I know, but you can make great job, Joe. And we pay you up front."
"When do I leave?"
The party then ruling Croatia, Tudjman's HDZ party, was involved in a massive public relations effort to refurbish the tarnished President's image after the war of the '90s produced the largest number of atrocities and death since WWII. When Jakov hired me he thought I would tow the party line, Americanize it, and hand in a hagiography that would paint Tudjman as "the Croatian George Washington." I rationalized taking the money and writing the unvarnished truth, thinking that I could actually discover anything closely resembling the truth.
Once in Zagreb, Jakov paraded me before government officials, one after another after another. Never have I been lied to by so many people in such a short period of time. And they all wanted to explain, very politely, the true cause of ethnic rivalries that started only recently -- if you call the 11th Century recent.
Surreptitiously I met with opposition leaders, harassed dissident journalists and human rights activists in an attempt to uncover the story of Tudjman's reign. In Sarajevo I met with a high-ranking official in the Bosnian-Croat government who claimed to possess documents linking Tudjman with the Croat death camps in Bosnia.
Though I never secured the alleged documents, it did become clear to me how many resources the Croatian government was deploying to keep Tudjman from being called to The International War Crimes Tribunal at The Hague. The day before I interviewed Tudjman, 6 October 1997, a deal was announced where ten Bosnian Croat war crimes suspects would "voluntarily" surrender to The Hague. This announcement was followed by the release of a $40 million credit to Croatia by the IMF, an amount far greater than my literary advance.
Many of the Serbs, Croats and Muslims I met in the Balkans expressed outrage over the crimes committed against their own ethnic group, but few would ever name any of their own as guilty. Tudjman personally told me that his own soldiers could not be blamed for any alleged crimes they committed; that after suffering at the hands of the Serbs, they "could not control their feelings of revenge, their wishes to retaliate."
After months of research and travel, I completed a 400-page manuscript titled "In Tito's Shadow." Very quickly I was asked by Jakov to make "small minor changes."
"Like what?"
"Please not to mention anything from old Communist time."
"Well, that would make it substantially shorter."
"And please not to mention war crimes."
I refused to make the changes, and the book remains unpublished.
Jakov had hoped to co-opt an authentic American voice, to lend the biography credibility. Instead, the author bit the hand that fed him. In December of '99 Tudjman died, escaping The Hague unlike his fellow Balkan leader Slobodan Milosevic, who every day wrote his own biography on the stand.
What is a writer's obligation to history? Whose history? If history is written by the victors, who speaks for the vanquished -- and in whose voice?
Shortly after Tudjman's death, I sent the information and interviews I recorded to The Hague. I could no longer in good conscience hide the identity of some particular anonymous sources. At a certain point, it was time for me to come out from the cold.
Joe received his first EMMY award for the documentary "Metaphoria" broadcast in the US on PBS in 1991.
Joe's humor book, "The Official Alien Abductee's Handbook", was published by Andrews and McMeel in 1997. Author and Futurist Robert Anton Wilson called it: "The funniest book I've read since the Warren Report." Famed scientist John C. Lilly said: "Joe Tripician has achieved the impossible: a truly funny book on alien abductions."
In 1996 Joe wrote, recorded and performed an alien song ("Ozark Melody") with the legendary Jeff Buckley along with musical partner Frederick Reed.
In May of 2002, Joe performed in his one-man play, "Balkanized at Sunrise", based on his 1997 trip to the Balkans. His Balkan journey began when the Croatian government hired him to write an official biography of their president. Much hilarity ensured. The book version is available in e-book and paperback formats.
In 2012 Joe published two new books:
"My Night with Sarah Palin … and other disturbing stories" A collection of strange and shocking stories.
"Immortality Wars" a SF novel about the abuses of technology in a world of competing interests.
Joe spends his time between New York and Brazil with his wife and two daughters, who do most of the translating for him.
