The Typeclassopedia is now up-to-date
The title pretty much says it all: I have finally finished (I hope) updating the Typeclassopedia to reflect various recent changes to the language and standard libraries (such as the AMP and BBP/FTP). Along the way I also added more … Continue reading
Advent of code #16 solution: an algebra of bitstrings
I had fun this past December solving Advent of Code problems in Haskell. I was particularly proud of my solution to one particular problem involving generating and processing large bitstrings, which I’d like to share here. I think it really … Continue reading
MonadRandom 0.5 released
I’m happy to announce the release of MonadRandom-0.5, a package which provides a convenient monadic interface for random number generation in the style of transformers and mtl: a Rand monad (essentially a state monad that threads through a generator), a … Continue reading
MonadRandom 0.5 and mwc-random: feedback wanted
Since 2013 or so I have been the maintainer of the MonadRandom package, which provides an mtl-style type class for monads with support for generation of pseudorandom values, along with a concrete random monad transformer RandT. As of this writing … Continue reading
Adventures in enumerating balanced brackets
Since I’ve been coaching my school’s ACM ICPC programming team, I’ve been spending a bit of time solving programming contest problems, partly to stay sharp and be able to coach them better, but also just for fun. I recently solved … Continue reading
ICFP roundup
ICFP 2016 in Nara, Japan was a blast. Here are a few of my recollections. The Place Although I was a coathor on an ICFP paper in 2011, when it was in Tokyo, I did not go since my son … Continue reading
The generic-random library, part 1: simple generic Arbitrary instances
In a previous post I pointed out that we know all the theory to make nice, principled, practical random generators for recursive algebraic data types; someone just needed to step up and do the work. Well, Li-yao Xia took up … Continue reading
