December 2020 1HaskellADay Problems and Solutions

• 2020-12-03: Today's #haskell problem: adding alias names to a country ... should be simple? BUT UNICODE! :(  Today's #haskell solution: UNICODE FIXED FOR ALIASES! WOOT! ... but what about for the source countries? IM CRIE! 😭  
• 2020-12-02: Yesterday, we triaged data for correction. Today #haskell problem is data correction, part I: adding `new` countries we missed before.  Today's #haskell solution: o, Guinea-Bissau, be ye no longer an orphan, but be home, now, in Africa!  
  
  
  
• 2020-12-01: Data correction. Half the problem of data-correction is to realize that you must do a data-correction. The other half of half the problem is to gather the data that needs to be corrected, along with the context of the correction: today's #haskell problem. Today's #haskell solution shows that the concept of triage is so helpful in setting up to solve data-correction problems.

November 2020 Haskell Problems and Solutions

• 2020-11-27: Is the morse code table generated from a graph better than by-hand? In today's #haskell problem, WE FIND OUT! 😤  Today's #haskell solution shows I did code the morse table by hand correctly! *whew* and also show how to extract data from a graph-store. And! has Konami's super-secret cheat-code! ^^vv<><>ba (shh! Don't tell anyone!) 
  
  
  
• 2020-11-25: 'Lorem Ipsum' never looked so good ... IN MORSE CODE! :< Today's #haskell problem. Today's #haskell solution shows that Cicero had words. Yes, he did.  
  

  

  
  
  
  
• 2020-11-23: Today's #haskell problem: ALLIANCES o' the WORLD! UNITE! (like Wonder Twin powers). As today IS Tuesday, it IS Belgium! Displaying the countries of NATO. 
  
  
  
• 2020-11-20: If today WERE Tuesday, it would be ... Belgium. Today is Friday, however. (whispered: but it's still Belgium). Today's #haskell problem: render a country's air-power as KML to display on earth.google.com, or some such-like.  Today is Friday, so this must be ... Bruxelles! ... I'll allow it. Today's #Haskell solution maps Brussels and all the air bases of Belgium. 
  

  

  
  
  
  
• 2020-11-18: As yesterday's problem of enhancing countries with additional information was SO EASY 🙄 for today's #haskell we'll take what we learned yesterday and enhance our stored continents with wikidata.org information. I'll let the band Toto explain today's #Haskell solution. "I BLESSED THE QID IN AAAAAAFRICA!" 🎵🎶 Thanks, fellahs. 🙄😎  
  
  
  
• 2020-11-17: We find out capitals of ... um: 'thingies' (?) from wikidata.org for today's #haskell problem. Belgium has a wikidata.org q-id; captured in our knowledge graph. Belgium has a capital, too: Brussels, along with a lat/long coordinate; also captured. Today's #haskell solution was to map all q-id's and capitals to countries of the world. 
  
  
  
• 2020-11-13: Today's #haskell problem? We convert our alliances and airbases graph into XML (specifically, KML). Why? you ask? BECAUSE WE CAN! ... and to get ready for ... this: #geodesicmapping Today's #haskell solution is our first two folders in KML. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! ... hey! I can see my house from here!  
   

  

  
  
  
  
• 2020-11-12: How big is our unicode-... dare I call it a 'problem'? It's not a 'problem,' but it's stopping us from talking with the REST endpoint successfully. So, today's #haskell problem is: how many non-ASCII unicode points do we have in our Alliances? You want alliances-as-a-graph? You got alliances-as-a-graph!  
  
  
  
• 2020-11-11: For today's #haskell problem we attempt to upload our alliances to our Continent/Country/Airbase graph. HOW WILL THIS ATTEMPT TURN't OUT? The suspense. It's killing me. IT TURN't OUT BAD! IT TURN't OUT BAD! Bad unicode! Bad! le sigh. Today's #haskell solution (which was for yesterday's problem) leads to tomorrow's (today's, actually) Haskell problem. So it goes. 
• 2020-11-10: The BIG KAHUNA: the military alliances of the world, derived from both wikidata and wikitext. Bringing it all together with the Organization of American States is today's #haskell problem. #BigKahuna Today's #haskell solution: and here we ... [wait for it] ... go! 
• 2020-11-09: In today's #haskell exercise, we add the United Nations to the AllianceMap. Today's #haskell solution adds the United Nations to the map of world military alliances. 
• 2020-11-06: For today's #haskell problem we add the European Union to the list of military alliances. Today's #haskell solution: European Union from wikidata.org JSON, GET! 
• 2020-11-05: Today's #haskell problem: rolling in missing alliances and aliases (and implementing alias-parsing). 42. That's the number of alliances today's #haskell solution collected from wikitext. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! #DeepThought 
• 2020-11-04: "We have work to do!" el geophf declares. And so, the #haskell work: missing alliances. The good news is that there's bad news: today's #haskell solution shows that we've missed 35 alliances in our parsing. 
• 2020-11-03: Today's #haskell problem: I give you a new, funky parser for new, funky alliances! ... and who was it who said that Haskell is no fun? We refine our parsed results, by hand-parsing missed results for today's #haskell solution.

October 2020 1HaskellADay Problems and Solutions

• 2020-10-30: Today's #haskell problem is to read and to parse a wikitext file to get a comprehensive list of military alliances. Parsing wikitext of alliances of the world... WITH #haskell! 
• 2020-10-28: Today's #haskell problem is to ingest military alliances of the world from http://wikidata.org as JSON. The #haskell solution: (*:)-operator and a higher-order alter-function FTW! 
• 2020-10-26: The previous week we've examined wikidata for countries, continents and airbases. For today's #haskell exercise, let's memorialize our findings.* 'memorialize our findings' is a fancy-pants term for 'print statement,' ICYMI. For the #haskell solution, "We are now going to introduce some steps that are a bit more difficult... Ready. Set. And. Begin."  
  
  
• 2020-10-23: Today's #haskell problem: "Unicode? What, even, is that?" ... sez Haskell, smh.  Also, if you know how to get Text not to escape unicode points on output (to, say, a REST endpoint), much obliged if you told me this dark magic. Today's #haskell solution shows airbases (with their associated countries) added to the graph database. 
  
  
  
• 2020-10-20: Next evolutionary step. We have Continents and countries as data structures. For today's #haskell problem let's find out how we can (can't?) merge in airbases with countries. Hoo, doggies! "Upload airbases to the graph database!" he said. "It'll be easy!" he said. Today's #haskell solution, if not in book-form, then in book-length! 
• 2020-10-16: Map of a -> b or b -> a? ... If you're asking that question, why not Graph? Today's #haskell exercise. A mapping of continents to countries. Surprisingly, wikidata.org does not have this as data amenable to extraction. 
  
  
  
• 2020-10-15: From continent->country mapping to country->continent mapping for today's #haskell problem. `sequence` is the secret-sauce for today's #haskell solution. 
• 2020-10-14: Today's #haskell problem is to get countries by continent from a ... 'markdown' file? That is not markdown. Deal with it. Countries: meet your Continents. 
• 2020-10-13: Okay. #StringsAreWrong. Everybody knows this. Wikidata: "Let's encode LongLats as strings ... IN JSON!" Please let's not. Today's #haskell exercise. The solution that produces airbases with lat/longs. REAL lat/longs, smh. 
• 2020-10-12: Today's #haskell problem is airbases of the world from wikidata.org ... with some duplicates. Today's #haskell solution reads in JSON, even ... 'JSON' that encodes 'LongLat's (not lat/longs) as ... strings? Really? Yes, even points-as-strings. Remember: #StringsAreWrong ~ Richard A. O'Keefe, 26 April 1994 
• 2020-10-09: Today's #haskell problem is this: Production data: "Let's see if we can make the simple act of parsing a 'JSON file' [that isn't a JSON file] impossible for the ol' el geophf!" Nice try, production data. Nice try. 

September 2020 Haskell Problems and Solutions

• 2020-09-09: Today's #haskell exercise is to compile our book-word-net into a Haskell module. The #haskell solution compiled the August 2020 Gutenberg top 100 read books into Haskell terms. 
• 2020-09-08: Data analytics on our top 100 gutenberg books is today's #haskell exercise. Did you know that there approximately 2000 English words in common usage? Today's #haskell solution: "Sounds about right."
• 2020-09-01: Today's #haskell problem is reducing a map of mapping of information to maps to a map. HOW HASKELL-Y! Yesterday's #haskell solution updated both problem and solution and made some data-discoveries along the way. Neat-o!
