Welcome to issue 273 of the HWN, an issue covering crowd-sourced bits of information about Haskell from around the web. This issue covers the week of June 30 to July 13, 2013.
Quotes of the Week * monochrom: 8-bit word uses less memory, but if it doesn't have to preserve information, I know how to use 0 bits of memory. * byorgey: you know, servers migrate in the summer to their ancestral breeding grounds * emeijer: It must me said on the other hand compiler writers seem to ignore the existence of formal semantics completely, probably because they don't like greek letters. * byorgey: now we have the pig operator <^(++)^> as well as the robot monkey operator (:[]) * chrisdone: i remember when the internet was black and white and you had to upload web pages back onto the internet when you were done with them * raganwald: Immuteability: The property of functional programmers that prevents them from shutting up about pure functional programming.
