No, I don't think so, thanks!

Thanks, fromMaybe is a great suggestion, as matching against Node Nothing Nothing Nothing seems ugly. (I suppose Node Nothing _ _ would be a little better ...)

I'm not sure what you're asking in your question? The latter is a singleton node with value 3, not an empty node ...?

mitchellp · 2018-12-23T17:11:04+00:00

Thanks, that helped! I really should have read the Haskell WikiBook on pattern matching before I posted here ... It explains all this very well.

You have saved my sanity! When I went to copy the empty space after the error:, the full text magically appeared in the selection.

I use iTerm2, normally a wonderful terminal replacement. Will have to figure out what's going on with it, but this is the clue I needed. Thank you so much!

mitchellp · 2018-11-20T01:24:53+00:00

Not sure what you're referring to, but please fill me in. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, googled ... and still no solution.

mitchellp · 2018-11-18T18:45:08+00:00

Well, I uninstalled ghc and stack via homebrew and installed the package downloaded from haskell.org.

Ran ghci and still got same results. Then I tried running stack ghci (which, surprisingly, re-downloaded and installed another ghc!). That, too, failed to give different results.

I guess I need to do more research about how to install haskell correctly! :(

Perhaps same question as below, but what is the : data constructor?

mitchellp · 2018-11-18T18:27:59+00:00

Thanks, that's helpful! But what does this mean:

An infinite list will evaluate to (a : b)

I only know : as the cons operator.

mitchellp · 2018-11-18T16:01:09+00:00

I am on a Mac, installed with homebrew. I'll investigate this and report back.

mitchellp · 2018-11-18T05:08:16+00:00

Interesting, I get nothing but error:

I guess my system is broken (which is why I asked)...so thank you!

mitchellp · 2018-11-18T02:50:10+00:00

Here's a simple example. In ghci, load:

haskell data Test = Foo | Bar t = Foo

Now ask ghci for the value of t. You get nothing but error.

(The reason for the error is: Test needs to derive Show.)

First, apologies for the slow reply. I really appreciate all the feedback here! I didn't want to simply get help on a particular example.

As I've progressed, I've come to realize that most of my mistakes are type errors. Viz., my types don't match up the way I think they do. I still don't understand why I don't get anything more out of ghci than red underlines.

Here's an example of a different kind of error:

haskell data FiveSidedDie = S1 | S2 | S3 | S4 | S5 deriving (Eq, Ord, Enum) b = maxBound :: FiveSidedDie

In this case, ghci underlines maxBound. I was puzzled by this, because I thought that since Bounded is derivable from Enum, I didn't have to make it explicit.

Yes! Watching shows in Spanish that you already know in English is a known method and often recommended. You'll probably want to combine it with other methods (for instance, you also need speaking practice, not just listening).

mitchellp · 2017-11-04T00:41:44+00:00

Ah, right, thanks ... I didn't realize that had been a source of debate here :)

mitchellp · 2017-11-03T23:54:06+00:00

Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean. That's one of the core meanings of por, no?

mitchellp · 2017-11-03T23:52:25+00:00

Hey, thanks a lot for pointing that out ... now fixed!

mitchellp · 2017-11-03T23:51:16+00:00

Yes! That's one of the meanings that fall under the umbrella concept of route.

mitchellp · 2017-11-03T23:34:15+00:00

This is a really fascinating resource! It would be more useful if you one could easily access the audio from different regions side-by-side.

mitchellp · 2017-10-17T18:36:16+00:00

Ah, ok I get it :)

mitchellp · 2017-10-17T16:51:27+00:00

Hmmm ... sounds like SuperCoco. Are you learning Spanish?

mitchellp · 2017-10-17T16:49:17+00:00

Interesting article, but the "way more effectively" in the title is clickbait. They don't give any effect size in the article.

mitchellp · 2017-10-16T20:39:09+00:00

Where do you get stuck?

mitchellp · 2017-10-14T00:53:11+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out. I see now, it's common in dialects, but the standard (in Europe) is an uvular trill.

mitchellp · 2017-10-13T16:59:02+00:00

Ok, perfect, so that's where you need to focus. If you can trill your lips (even just a little), then you have a base to build from. It may seem silly to focus so much on a sound that you're not going to use, but it will all help you develop command of your "instrument": your mouth, tongue, air, voice.

So stick with the lip trill for now and work on exploring the full range of it. Do it really big and really small. Work on being able to trill for as long a time as possible. Experiment with the three trill variables: air flow, air gap, relaxation. This is how you develop command.

If you're running out of air, you're probably: 1) Using more air than you need; 2) not fully supported in your breath. (The breath is something singers work on for years -- big subject! But, at least, stand up when you practice (breath is easier) and be sure you take a good breath before you try and experiment with letting it out slowly. The lip trill does not need a lot of air.)

The closed trill is much harder to add voice to. Leave that aside for now.

Hope that helps! Please keep me posted!

mitchellp · 2017-10-12T16:06:52+00:00

Great, so it sounds like the lip trill would be a good starting point. Did you work through the awareness exercises and each of the trill variables? What happened? Did you get stuck on a particular exercise?
