Tightened up return value, removing unnecessary semideterminism. So, it gives, leik, a septatuple answer, leik. ... Yeah. Time keeps flowing like a (Fibonacci) river, to the sea. http://lpaste.net/109389 A solution to  the 'next Fibonacci' problem posted today.
• Hail, Eris! or the Law of Fives or today's #haskell problem (implementing a Ripple-down rule set). Do it to it! http://lpaste.net/109350. One of three-parter solution to today's problem: Forall Existential(ism) http://lpaste.net/109458 A solution allowing forall-quantified values. Two of the three-part solution: All you need is fnord (la-di-da-di-dah)! Rippling down (and accumulating fired) rules http://lpaste.net/109433. Third of three-part solution: RippleDownRuleto ergo sum, adding rules to the RDR system http://lpaste.net/109473.  Updated the 3rd solution to the RDR (Writer monad definition) to ripple down to left and right, fixing inconsistency in rule findings.
• August 18th, 2014: What's FP good for? Crypto and technical (financial) indicators. Why? Um, let's do today's #haskell exercise! http://lpaste.net/109553. Full on, all the way! Double Rain-... wait: line-graph. Solution to today's #haskell exercise http://lpaste.net/109597

• August 19th, 2014: What does it all mean? All the way! No, wait: this is just today's #haskell exercise (backtesting SMA indicator ). http://lpaste.net/109617 Take the monoid and run(State-WriterT), or WAAH! WAAH! I lost 100 corn chips on my investment strategy or, solution: http://lpaste.net/109687 But, as solace, it does come with a pretty picture, illustrating today's solution. Ooh! 

• August 20th, 2014: Next up for today's #haskell exercise is the Exponential Moving Average. http://lpaste.net/109689 A solution to the E(xponential)M(oving)A(verage) #haskell problem: Stately Conformance http://lpaste.net/109707 

• August 21st, 2014: My Jeans. No ... I meant: 'GENES'! That's it. Today's #haskell exercise. http://lpaste.net/109749 A solution to (not even CLOSE to) 'yesterday's' #haskell exercise: Nature or Nurture? We present a genetic algorithm http://lpaste.net/110330
• August 22nd, 2014: Today's (much delayed) #haskell problem: the Silver Ratio http://lpaste.net/109817 (from @AlgebraFact ) Every cloud has a silver lining .. Every Haskell problem has a solution. (sometimes) (except noncomputable problems) http://lpaste.net/109831

• August 26th, 2014: "Join me, Luke, on the Dark Side of the Force, and help me go #FORTH to solve today's #haskell exercise! MWA-HAHA!" http://lpaste.net/110062 The World's smallest DSL: Forth. A solution to today's #haskell exercise http://lpaste.net/edit/110085
• August 28th, 2014: "As I compose this #haskell problem ... p.s. I love you ... You! You! You!" #1960s #song http://lpaste.net/110135 A little card logic problem. Oh, NOES! LOOK OUT! IT'S A CARD-#SHARKNADO! Nah, it's just 'today's #haskell solution, is all http://lpaste.net/110334

 

• August 29th, 2014: Groovitudes! WordNet Themes! or: today's #haskell exercise http://lpaste.net/110171 A 3x3 matrix has 36 possible solutions. A 5x5 matrix? Over 200M poss solutions? YIKES! A solution to the themed-words http://lpaste.net/110293

Notes

• The Forth language problem solution given on August 26th gives a very snazzy RPN ('reverse Polish notation') calculator, but that's all it does the ':'-defining word needs access and look-ahead to the program parsed stream, and that's a bit more to ask than pushing and popping stack operators.
• For the August 29th problem(WordNet themes) the raw generated solution set is over 209M possibilities. My little Haskell program was not finished scanning them over four hours when I killed the process. However, my dear wife solved the problem in under five minutes. Setting aside the fact that she's a genius, the program needs to be better. It needs to use the ontology of English-language words to eliminate fruitless endeavors during their generation, not afterwards during the test phase.
