OFF TOPIC THREAD: Where derailing the thread is impossible!

My spam zap count has reached 420. No more spam please, internet - this is perfect.

Speaking of things that must be left the way they are, check out the time of Nanomekia's last contribution to the Corrupt a Wish Game...

(I presume the times are GMT for everyone)

It posted at 3:14 didn't it?

[Nospike]

Can't believe this thread is dying! Hurry, somebody save us!

...On a different note, GNU/Linux with a riced up i3-gaps sure is something.

[Keening_Product]

Wow, nice. I never got far with customising i3, but seeing that makes me want to try again.

If you are concerned with threads dying, you should show the Linux adventures thread some love

[MoffD]

Whoa nice Nospike

In other news I'm contemplating Gentoo

How much can I pay you to make you record the whole process?

"Ok, I'm downloading the stage 3 tarball, oh GARG! Did I mount and format my filesystem properly? WHAT DOES EMERGE DO?!?!?"
Edit: Just kidding, of course I'd mount and format properly

vim, urxvt, vivaldi... even ranger looks beautiful under this costumized i3-gaps.
*drooling*

btw, I'm looking for a clean and simple image viewer like JPEGView (WINE compatible). any hints and tips?
EDIT: or can someone please help me compiling its source code for a Unix/Linux based system? it's written in C++.

The local Hampton Inn is having a bit of a sign malfunction - the H has burnt out.

"Ampton Inn" sounds like somewhere Keen would stay on his travels.

[Keening_Product]

It does?

[Nospike]

This is probably a very long shot, but does anybody here have some experience with Haskell? Specifically I'm interested in its real world usability in making stuff such as TUI/GUI programs.

Began learning it very recently and so far I'm having a blast. It feels so much more solid and clean and educational than any OOP language I know. I'm just worried I won't be able to use it for much else other than maths and data handling, which I barely ever do. :X

Well yeah - Little Amptons anyone?

If I remember correctly, Haskell is for functional programming (as opposed to imperative programming, like C, Pascal or whatever). Wasn't the idea that if you call the same function with the same parameters more than once, Haskell will only calculate the result once and "remember" it for future uses?

Man, I know I used Haskell less than 10 years ago, but I don't really remember any of it.

Well, I'm still super new to the language myself, but the general gist of it is that any "variables" you declare are immutable. As a pure functional language, it aims to eliminate side effects entirely so that every time you call the same function with the same arguments, you get the exact same result.

It's also lazily evaluated, so it will avoid evaluating any expressions unless you specifically request it. (This allows infinite range-based lists and stuff... I think?)

I really like it because it's not unnecessarily verbose and makes me feel super smart when I write it.
