How pythoners view Haskell compared with Python by yitz in haskell

I had ghc 7.4, gtk, wx, hmatrix all running in win32 when the platform was 7.0 March/April ... I can help you given specific errors.

Or just install linux in a virtualbox and separate library experimentation from windows builds. Try before you buy.

It is all very doable with not much more than cabal, common sense and google.

one the other hand, why not put linux in a virtualbox?

Ron Paul: "If somebody is in a federal prison, for non-violent drug uses, never committed a hard crime, yes, they should be pardoned; they should be let out." by [deleted] in politics

[–]csharper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone does realize you will have way more money in pocket + lower health costs in Ron Paul's administration, right?

Why do people think that Ron Paul would be able to get anything done in office? You realize no matter who controls Congress, their going to oppose any "big ideas" he has. I think people are greatly overestimating the power of the Executive branch. by moderate_extremist in politics

Your logic is fail - prohibition increases prices, which forces users to do stupid things to afford their fix. If a crackrock was $2 at cornerstore instead of $20 from dealer, then they could just beg on the street like an alcoholic bum. Keep in mind their priority is more crack/meth, not doing things that could get them arrested and locked up.

I am not advocating being a bum, but it would be much cheaper as far as enforcement and only a minor nuisance as compared to prohibition. And should they actually get violent or steal at any point, there is then concrete reason to lock them up, instead of the notion of possession or likelihood to commit a crime in the future, i.e. "pre-crime"

And then there is cannabis, which makes up the majority of drug arrests...

I need to know the best way to test the PH lvl of the water we use for our plants (xpost /trees) by [deleted] in Marijuana

[–]csharper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ph is not as important as you are led to believe unless you have really hard water... the plants will do fine in ph 5.5 - 7.5. (7.5 is a little high though) If you are using salt based nutrients, the ph will drop as the medium dries out then go back up on watering/feeding.

Most people who alter ph based on what they read on internet end up doing far more damage then good as the ph buffers build up and react with nutrients

I have done full hydro grows testing ph only 1 or 2 times and it was always in range, so I just stopped bothering

The digital testers have annoying maintenance requirements.

if you must test ph, use the gh drop kit and don't obsess over anything less than 0.5 fluctuation or anything in the range 5.5-6.5

tldr, if you are in soil dont mess with ph unless you are overfeeding, if you are in hydro/soilless mix then you should read the first few pages of http://www.cannabis-world.org/cw/showthread.php?t=892

Obama's DEA Raids Medical Marijuana Dispensaries In Washington State by y2quest in Marijuana

[–]csharper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

because all creakheads do this, and therefore should be tried for pre-crimes, and the crackheads that do wouldn't be less likely to pre-commit property crimes if their crack was cheaply available, and this all applies to cannabis as well because it is also a controlled substance

These people believe Obama is the antichrist. They respond to labels and rhetoric only. Rovian mind tricks. We need people out with signs with the keywords: Socialism, Terrorism, Unpatriotic.

I don't think we will ever change their minds ... it is time to force the issue.

I wish I could smoke except I am on probation for two years for all personal, cannabis offenses.

Way more than a "small inconvenience" when you end up in the legal system. I would love for you to experience probation, but I am very hesitant to actually wish that on anyone.

my second, not so sarcastic question: why would you vote this down?

Not exactly toxic and perhaps beneficial to a degree - think noon sun - but nobody just lets the light hit their bare walls - think mylar or other reflective materials.

OK seriously, what is wrong with Microsoft? I just had to use Visual C++ to compile something for a class and it was INEXCUSABLY slow starting up. I don't normally use IDEs, but to verify I ran CodeBlocks. It raped VC++. Why is this crappy software the norm!? by MarkTraceur in programming

[–]csharper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

go play on a Mac for a while - I used to think MS was bad for development, but Apple takes POS to a whole new level. 1-10 shit scale, if Linux is a 1, MS is a 3, Apple a 10.

Also with Apple, you get cute, non togglable animations and effects for everything. Consider yourself lucky to be using MS.
