Disclaimer 1: Type classes are great but they are not the right tool for every job. Enjoy some balance and balance to your balance.

Disclaimer 2: I should tidy this up but probably won’t.

Disclaimer 3: Yeah called it, better to be realistic.

Type classes are a language of their own, this is an attempt to document features and give a name to them.

Swift Meets C/C++

This gist is a simple example on how to call a function written in swift from C/C++, without taking the detour via Objective-C/C++.

---

In this example we're going to invoke a function called say_hello, which, as the name already suggests, prints "Hello, World!" to the terminal.

OAUTH2

The Problem

I’m a web app that wants to allow other web apps access to my users’ information, but I want to ensure that the user says it’s ok.

The Solution

I can’t trust the other web apps, so I must interact with my users directly. I’ll let them know that the other app is trying to get their info, and ask whether they want to grant that permission. Oauth defines a way to initiate that permission verification from the other app’s site so that the user experience is smooth. If the user grants permission, I issue an AuthToken to the other app which it can use to make requests for that user's info.

Note on encryption

Oauth2 has nothing to do with encryption -- it relies upon SSL to keep things (like the client app’s shared_secret) secure.

General notes

• nix-channel and ~/.nix-defexpr are gone. We'll use $NIX_PATH (or user environment specific overrides configured via nix set-path) to look up packages. Since $NIX_PATH supports URLs nowadays, this removes the need for channels: you can just set $NIX_PATH to e.g. https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-15.09/nixexprs.tar.xz and stay up to date automatically.

• By default, packages are selected by attribute name, rather than the name attribute. Thus nix install hello is basically equivalent to nix-env -iA hello. The attribute name is recorded in the user environment manifest and used in upgrades. Thus (at least by default) hello won't be upgraded to helloVariant.

  @vcunat suggested making this an arbitrary Nix expression rather than an attrpath, e.g. firefox.override { enableFoo = true; }. However, such an expression would not have a key in the user environment, unlike an attrpath. Better to require an explicit flag for this.

TBD: How to deal with search path clashes.

Notes

• on lion (and snow leopard i suppose), make sure you are using a 64 bit install of ghc. Also, unless you are suggesting an edit to these directions, please go ask people on the relevant mailing list or wiki for help :)
• Tested on ghc 7.2.2, assumes you have standard developer things installed on mac, like x11 and stuff
• Also tested on GHC 7.0.4 (Haskell Platform) with XCode 4.3.
• These notes were originally brought to you by Carter Schonwald; the “I” probably refers to him. Eric Kow will refer to himself in the third person).

GHC 7.4.x

• gtk2hs 0.12.2 won't build with ghc 7.4.1, but the current darcs repo for gtk2hs does build
