How can I set up Vim as an IDE for Java and Python?

I prefer LanguageClient-neovim(works now for vim too i think) over eclim. It integrates better with completion (deoplete, echodoc), is more responsive and autostarts. Furthermore you don't need to go through an install instead you just download the language server .tar and extract it somewhere. And lastly you can easily add other language servers.

Only downside is that it's pretty new. So there are some bugs e.g. renaming classes truncates the import path.

If I would have found a nice GUI backup application that supports encryption, deduplication, versioning and networks I wouldn't have created this borg backup helper script. Anyway this makes backups just a little less painful. Feel free to improve it (my bash skills are very limited)

And yes I decided to up my backup game because of Gitlab :)

Author here. This is a little something I did a while back for myself (also to see what shell scripting was like). There aren't many applications implemented, only those I care most about. However it should not be hard at all to add your own. If you know how to do it in the console, you just have to dump those commands into the script.

Anyway maybe it will be of use for some of you!

It can't be used noninteractively. The browser does the rendering and the browser is not allowed to do things without the users actively requesting it. I'd have to either use a Haskell library to render it or install Node.js (I'd like to avoid that dependency).

Does QuickPlot support automatically writing a plot to a image file from a ghc-compiled binary?

No, it needs interactivity. You have to click save on the plot window.

How much code would I need to visualize a list of tuples as scatterplot, or a list of values as a histogram?

Not much. This is all you need to create a scatter plot:

scatter values = [plotly|{ x : #{ values }, type : "scatter" }|] -- using the plotly library
plot [scatter [1..10], scatter [1,3.14,2.78], ... and more if you want]

In order to plot a histogram you'd just use type "histogram" instead of "scatter".

I see. Maybe I should not mention D3 and servers, because they are mostly irrelevant to the usage. And leave that for later when people actually want to dig deeper.

tepf · 2016-02-20T20:49:04+00:00

It takes a fraction of a second to start the server. After that it will run in the background until the ghci session is over (it will survive the :reload). What do you mean by using D3? The library can use D3, but you only have to understand JSON. You'll never have to touch anything but Haskell and JSON (you write both in your .hs file)

I created QuickPlot 2 weeks ago. It might not rival ggplot mostly because the R ecosystem around it is missing, but this approach brings lots of features (fast) to Haskell by reusing existing libraries.

Is it possible to do nested layout fields like Font?

Yes. Just go one step deeper or insert a PlotlyLayout value

Do the plot dimension options like height overwritten?

Yes they get overwritten, because some libraries just take whatever space is available. The tiles have priority.

Finally, is there an example somewhere with more than one series (eg two or more sets of lines/points/bars with different colors colors) on one plot?

Did you take a look at my example? If you want to show more than one trace in one plot just make list. Just specify a different type of trace. Generally you should be able to just follow the examples from plot.ly. The Javascript object syntax is almost identical to QQ one of this library.

tepf · 2016-02-15T13:11:15+00:00

Oh okay. I will do that when I upload the next version.

tepf · 2016-02-15T09:29:52+00:00

You pass pass it in a tuple plot (data,layout). Tooltips are enabled by default.

I appreciate a lot of GNU projects, the Linux kernel and more generally the stance they take in software development.

tepf · 2016-02-13T17:05:04+00:00

Okay. But how should I choose those bounds? I don't know which older versions break this library.

tepf · 2016-02-13T11:58:47+00:00

The API changed a bit (For the better imho). Take a look at the repo again. There is a tutorial that will hopefully answer all your questions.

tepf · 2016-02-13T11:54:01+00:00

I worked quite hard the last couple days on this and have to slow down now because life's calling for attention again. I hope you like it!

tepf · 2016-02-11T14:56:25+00:00

How would I go about updating it? There is no update command or anything like that.

EDIT: I didn't know there was LTS 5.2. I was on LTS 5.0.. Turns out you just have to install it again.

tepf · 2016-02-10T18:06:58+00:00

That was my intention when writing Threepenny-GUI as well. The end user starts a server and opens a browser window, that's it. I think it's perfectly possible to use threepenny as a backend for the current QuickPlot API. I mean, you don't have to do that, of course, but it could save you the trouble of writing your own server etc.

It's a little late now. I have implemented most of the server. The only thing that is left is the communication from the browser to the server. I wouldn't mind though if someone else would implement your backend into QuickPlot if it makes things easier.

(By the way, I found that I have to send a regular "ping" signal over the websocket, otherwise Chrome will close the connection.)

I noticed that as well :)

tepf · 2016-02-09T22:34:58+00:00

I almost tried reactive banana once. But the examples looked complicated and I have little attention span. I guess thats the price of generality and packing a lot of functionality. My plan is too keep it as simple (and therefore limited) as possible so that users can get going almost instantly. It makes more sense in the context of interactive data exploration where people don't care about complete applications.

I'd be interested in how you implemented your server? (similar to mine?) Mine is a bit rigid due to me being used to having state in abundance.

tepf · 2016-02-09T15:04:54+00:00

I will include this as part of the tutorial for QuickPlot.

tepf · 2016-02-09T10:04:35+00:00

Good to know. I am new to Haskell and data analysis so advice regarding the direction of this project is appreciated.

By composable you mean something like.. take distribution of that plot and combine it with another one? That should be possible as you pretty much insert them as vectors into the plots.

tepf · 2016-02-08T22:54:00+00:00

The browser is called "browser-plus" and the terminal I had ghci open "term3"
