I have recently implemented a basic GIF parser and writer in Haskell for a school project. The code can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/nudded/gif-parser/src/

I think it shows how easy it is to write parsers in Haskell. Don't bother to look at the LZW decode and encode, it's rather dirty.

coincidence. Your's didn't get upvotes fast enough while this one did.

just to chime in, jaspervdj is the commenter, the submitter, the website is calles jaspervdj.be so it is reasonable to guess he is the author (he is btw).

I've created a basic ruby version for google reader. http://github.com/nudded/GoogleReaderAPI

An OS that only runs on SSD's? commercialization of Linux for the desktop? I don't agree with you on this one.

What do you think happens most, pushing changes or downloading a tarball?

[citation needed] (for real, I would love to know if this is true)

To the author of this post: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html

What makes you think he would disclose that?

If you hate these articles so much, please just ignore them.

You are hindering real discussion with your trollish comment.

I thought the vice-president and the president weren't allowed to be on the same plane.

FWIW, this is from the guy who brought us Redis.

  \begin{figure}[h!] .. \end{figure}

should insert the figure right where you typed this.

so it's a surprise I guess?

command + (left|right) arrow would do the same on a mac.

put false values in it yourself, if you notice them in the other app then he copied your database

In ruby you can ensure this by calling responds_to?(:method).

So for example to see if some object is iterable, you just check if it responds to each.

   obj.responds_to?(:each)

If you cared about type constraints you would not be using Python (or Ruby, or Perl).

I think it is rather awesome that Google does these kinds of things. And they even make it clickable, so you learn something too!

You probably mean Linus? (makes a lot of difference)

If not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds

This is not a bug in webkit. Safari renders it just fine.

That is a really good idea, but I suggest making sure that the commenter gets notified of that private reply (instead of having to check it manually).

Because Apple doesn't have a dominant position in the market. (that is the reason MS was sued, stated in the article).

For the more adventurous, here a Haskell port. http://github.com/jaspervdj/Hakyll

and who's to blame, the designer or your browser?

that entirely depends on the precautions taken.

-4 is the limit.

the free plan only has 5mb of storage

well quite frankly, you will need to hire someone, or else your patent will probably be worthless. A lot depends on the writing and if you get it wrong, you will lose in court.
