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.
