texodus··on Perspective: Streaming pivot visualization via WebAssembly
If anyone finds this project exciting and is interested in learning more about working on Open Source at J.P.Morgan, feel free to send me a message - we are always looking to hire experienced, passionate talent!
texodus··on Perspective: Streaming pivot visualization via WebAssembly
I believe you'd need to port Python to WebAssembly to make much use of pandas - unaware of any projects attempting the former.

The grid is just a plugin for the excellent [Hypergrid](https://github.com/openfin/fin-hypergrid), which is editable, but you'd need to manually push those edits back to the engine for now.

True - worth pointing out that this library gracefully falls back to ASM.js if your browser does not support WebAssembly, though.
texodus··on Show HN: My "weekend" project, an ML dialect and compiler
Not even close to one weekend - I meant "weekend" in the tongue-in-cheek sense that all good weekend hacks spill over into multiple years.

[Write yourself a scheme in 48 hours](http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Write_Yourself_a_Scheme_in_48_H...) was very helpful for seeing a compile interpreter at a high level, [Typing Haskell in Haskell](http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~mpj/thih/) was a fantastic resource for implementing DHM - the NYC Haskell community was fantasically helpful as well. Best way to learn anything in Haskell, or any language IMO, is to just start writing it :)

I think the parameterized modules would be nice, and a natural extension since modules as implemented are technically "first class" - but I'm intentionally shying away from Haskell-level type checking. Ultimately, I'd like the type system to be more of a tool for preventing bugs, rather than a requirement to "prove" that your code is correct.

No current plans for any compiler level prototyping, but some of this could be accomplished via the existing type system - it would be nice to have some sort of record field unification/discrimination at the type level, to allow you to do something like `{ fields_1 } -> {fields_2 } -> { fields_1 && fields_2 }`, but I haven't thought this through entirely yet. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback!

Forml is an awesome name! Mind if I potentially steal this idea?

texodus··on Realtime Twitter / capital market analysis in Haskell. Also, anyone hiring?
You're absolutely right - it would be trivial to manipulate the rankings. Disclaimer: I highly recommend no one make any investments based on my site's picks! This is just a data mining demo.

Here's a screenshot of Apple as they announced their quarterly earnings:

The red & green spikes represent individual polls of Twitter, and the overall sentiment regarding the ticker - the dotted line is the cutoff for which scores are used to calculate the leaderboard.

I live in Brooklyn, so Jersey may work.

Thanks, I'll check them out!
texodus··on Realtime Twitter / capital market analysis in Haskell. Also, anyone hiring?
Just wanted to share my hobby project with y'all - it reads Twitter and tries to classify each message as "bullish" or "bearish", then keeps track of which ticker symbols are mentioned, calculates the most mentioned each hour and creates a leaderboard. The backend is Haskell (Snap framework) and Redis, the frontend is Raphael.js and JQuery.

As an aside, I recently have found myself unemployed - anyone hiring or have some contract work they need done? Take a look at my github account at http://www.github.com/texodus for some of my code, including (soon) this site.

texodus··on Static Typing and Functional Languages
er - type inference in ocaml is descendent from ML, which had the feature in the 70s - hell, hindley-milner was published in 1969. This has nothing to do with how recently the language has been developed, it is a simple tradeoff between type safety and developer effort. There is really no room for speculation on a subject that a 15 second visit to wikipedia would clear up.
