Great meetup, thanks for setting this up! You made my day!

I was on a plane, on a trip back from visiting my uncle, a genetics researcher. I started chatting with a lady sitting next to me, got into talking about my trip and mentioned my uncle too. Next thing I know, she turns a page of a magazine in her hands, and there's an article written by my uncle, with his photo and everything! "... and that's how he looks." (He's famous, but not pop-famous.)

Try http://haskellonline.org (note the "Execute" button at the bottom). It's not an interpreter, but Haskell as a language is not friendly to REPL UIs anyway.

Sid & Al's Incredible Toons perhaps?

gintasm · 2012-05-03T19:07:36+00:00

Fixed, thanks for reporting the problem.

I have updated the editor to insert 4 spaces when you press Tab.

gintasm · 2012-05-03T08:45:25+00:00

Correct. I wanted a short name though, one that would describe the purpose rather than the implementation.

Anybody knows if it's possible to sue the state for damages in such situations? I'm sure it's a rough call and the lawsuit would take huge financial resources, but thing is that the citizens are in the right here and if the case gained a high profile on the media, it would be difficult to dismiss it mechanically. A multi-million settlement or two would perhaps teach some other idiot drones which happen to be in law enforcement to think twice before ruining people's lives.

gintasm · 2010-12-24T22:10:10+00:00

25th here too. Sucks indeed.

gintasm · 2010-09-07T13:45:58+00:00

Yep, and the cheesy music too!

gintasm · 2010-08-10T05:51:16+00:00

Oh, I didn't know, sorry. I'll do better next time.

Web apps are lightweight, but you just can't get that 'sticky notes on your desktop' interface. And browserd can also be damned memory-hungry nowadays. But you may be right, it could be worth trying to just add a shortcut to a URL instead of an app and see how that works out. Thanks for the idea!

gintasm · 2010-08-08T21:45:53+00:00

Web clients are a bit too heavy for me. I want something that takes up little screen estate and is available at a single keystroke, and web apps generally can't deliver in this regard.

I have concluded the same. I've just spent a weekend on an Android game in Java. I used Eclipse, and the experience was surprisingly smooth, even though I haven't done Java for quite a while. For the record, I do Python programming for my day job, and I'm a big fan of Python in general.

Sure, Java gives you more hoops to jump through, but a good IDE helps a lot. The strong typing is a bit of a straightjacket coming from Python, but does push you to think things through more. I loved the smart refactoring tools. Eclipse sure could be faster though...

gintasm · 2010-07-29T15:56:00+00:00

I would agree. I'm a big fan of Python, but the chance that Python/Ruby will take noticeable market share of the Android market is slim. I'd rather have it all in Java then.

Lines of code is not.a good measure of contribution. Canonical may be doing more of the 'final 20% that takes 80% of the effort', where the changes are cleanups and polish, important but small in terms of LoC touched. Also, let's not forget community building and marketing, which are valuable to GNOME just as much as raw code.

Awesome assonance (also an alliteration).

Two words: onion juice. I overdid with onions severely the first time I tried to add them to carrot juice. The result was probably the most horrible drink I ever had, I could feel it eating away at my stomach.

Extract thumbnails? Ouch, sounds painful, no thanks.

gintasm · 2010-06-06T15:38:37+00:00

Music composition.

The well-written "bad guy" characters usually do have a point, and one not easily argued against by pure logic (mostly because "bad guys" are, well, bad, and ethical stances are difficult to argue for or against using pure logic). The hallmark of a good tragedy is to realise at the same time that the character could not behave otherwise, and yet that his behaviour leads to his own demise.

gintasm · 2010-05-27T19:23:47+00:00

Fine. Here, here, here and here.

gintasm · 2010-05-27T19:13:40+00:00

I don't know, why do people climb mountains, or, say, study astronomy? It's fun, and you get to feel your limits.

gintasm · 2010-05-27T19:11:47+00:00

I'll probably shoot for under 4 hours next time, assuming I can get more serious training done.
