# Hello, and welcome to makefile basics.

# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build

# Once you're done here, go to

if !database: wget + grep

The Federal Aviation Administration is posting PDFs of the Section 333 exemptions that it grants, i.e. the exemptions for operators who want to fly drones commercially before the FAA finishes its rulemaking. A journalist wanted to look for exemptions granted to operators in a given U.S. state. But the FAA doesn't appear to have an easy-to-read data file to use and doesn't otherwise list exemptions by location of operator.

However, since their exemptions page is just one giant HTML table for listing the PDFs, we can just use wget to fetch all the PDFs, run pdftotext on each file, and then [grep](https://medium.com/@rualthanzauva/grep-was-a-private-command-of-m

How to Setup emacs irony-mode in Ubuntu-12.04

I recently found a nice emacs-mode, [irony-mode], which can be used with [company-mode], [flycheck-mode], and [eldoc-mode]. It works nicely with CMake-based projects. The document contains a list of instructions for setting things up. I assume that you're using a fresh-installed Ubuntu-12.04.5 (64-bit). It uses [Lean theorem prover][lean] as an example project.

Joining CSV Tables in Haskell

This article describes a technique for joining (in an SQL-style) lists of haskell data structures.

Maybe not the fastest, maybe not the smartest, but it works.
