A couple of days ago, I had an idea for a useful utility and so today I thought I'd have a go at starting to code it. It felt like chiselling granite. Why should that be?
@underlap I started a tiny toy project on the weekend and felt exactly like that. I was using Curry, so in a way just a dialect of Haskell, with which I'm a bit more familiar now. But still I had to learn a new build system, dependency management and finally the Curry features Haskell does not have. Like chiselling granite. But so satisfying when things slowly fell into place and a first prototype started working!
One great unintended side-effect of being at #archeoFOSS is that @joeroe and I found time to make some improvements to open-archaeo. Now it's much easier to update the site after submitting a pull request containing a new or updated record, thanks to the magic of github actions and r (but as always, you can also just message us if you have something you wanna add to the list too)
I published a new major version of currycarbon, my #Haskell library and CLI tool for simple and convenient #C14 age calibration.
v0.3.0.0 allows to draw age samples for each calibration expression, supports uniform age ranges (e.g. from contextual dating beyond C14) and features various interface improvements both for the in- and the output. Some of them are unfortunately breaking changes, but I hope for the better.
The paper features an R package for spatiotemporal interpolation and probabilistic similarity search: https://github.com/nevrome/mobest π¦
Both the paper and the package got more attention than I anticipated. So this toot marks the release of its new website: https://nevrome.de/mobest π
@johnny@suppi Just gave the website and announcement post a quick read. Seems like we might see another prelude and possibly a new CLI tool wrapping around stack. Both do no harm, so I didn't feel strongly about it π€·ββοΈ. But Gabriella raises some good points...
I don't fully align with some of the ideas in @suppi's linked post. But I don't consider myself enough of a Haskell expert to argue (yet).
