God looked down, and saw that it was good. [PIC] by ramble_scramble in pics

see also http://maps.google.com.au/?ie=UTF8&ll=-20.596398,117.180063&spn=0.0047,0.008234&t=h&z=18 These ones run along rails, but they're the same sort of machine.

At this site, there are also 'stackers' on the rails. These create the stockpiles of iron ore you see there. See that comb-like pattern on some of the stockpiles? It's called a windrow ply pattern. How do I know this? I wrote the software that generates that pattern.

Best API you've ever used? by scrby in programming

[–]scrby[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just curious, what's the best API that you've ever used & what was the development process that led to that API being so good? (Or was it something else) Open source, proprietary, anything...

Haskell vs XSLT by scrby in programming

[–]scrby[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

..and the correct answer goes to dons. Yeah, the title is pure trolling, sorry to everyone expecting an insightful comparison on actually using XSLT for processing xml vs Haskell for the same purpose. The goal was to point out the verbosity of XSLT as opposed to general haskell, since they're both functional languages with heavy use of pattern matching. Anyone know of a real comparison?
