Online FP Seminars - General

Welcome to the Functional Programming Zulip Chat Archive. You can join the chat here.

The Chalmers Online Functional Programming Seminar Series is organized by the Chalmers Functional Programming Group, as a way to exploit the fact that so many of us in the FP community are already meeting and working online these days. Our aim is to bring the people in the FP community closer together, to educate and inspire, and to foster collaboration.

The seminars will take place every Monday (at 7am PDT / 10am EDT / 16:00 CEST) and are organized through Zoom.

First session info:

May 11
"A quick look at impredicativity"
by Simon Peyton Jones (Microsoft Research)

Ben Kolera

Who's attending? It's at like 0100 for me, lol, but it sounds like it'll be worth it. :slight_smile:

Ben Kolera

Lol, actually that may a dumb question as a good chunk the folk likely attending are probably still asleep. :joy:

Matt Peddie

yeah . . . really hoping some of these will be recorded

Fintan Halpenny

Ya 3pm for me too :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: gonna try catch it

Hazem

Note: The first talk was recorded and it'll be posted on the seminars' homepage according to the organizers. It's not up yet. I assume future talks will be recorded as well.

It seems that recording will be based on the preference of the speaker.

via an organizer comment on r/haskell :

We're letting the speaker decide on a talk-by-talk basis. Simon wants his talk to be recorded!

Fintan Halpenny

Hopefully I can catch the next one. Couldn't resolve the video/audio issues on my side :pensive:

Vance Palacio

Yea it was a tiny bit early for me. Didn't have wifi where I was at so I couldn't catch it

Vance Palacio

Looking forward to seeing the recording. This first talk was based on a paper of the same name I believe

Type inference for parametric polymorphism is wildly successful, but has always suffered from an embarrassing flaw: polymorphic types are themselves not first class. We present Quick Look, a practical, implemented, and deployable design for impredicative type inference. To demonstrate our claims, we have modified GHC, a production-quality Haskell compiler, to support impredicativity.  The changes required …

@Matt Peddie yeah it was recorded! :slight_smile:

Matt Peddie

@Ben Kolera awesome! any idea where it ended up? it's not linked from the publication page or the seminar series page as far as I can see

Ben Kolera

It'll go to the same page as the future listings afaict.

Ben Kolera

It'll just be the usual thing that it takes a little while for it to be processed and uploaded.

Ben Kolera

I missed the damned thing. Off by one TZ / DST issue. Lol.

Ben Kolera

1000 EST is 0100 AEST, but 1000EDT is 0000 AEST ofc. RIP

FYI a LOT of attendees had issues with Zoom in today's session (no video/slides/audio). Some of us had to reconnect many times before it finally worked, and I saw a bunch of comments by attendees who couldn't fix the issue after many attempts to reconnect.

Matt Peddie

hope the recording came out ok!

Hazem

The page got updated!

The seminars will take place every Monday (at 7am PDT / 10am EDT / 16:00 CEST) and will be streamed live on YouTube, where edited videos will also be posted after the event. Questions will be taken through sli.do.

Ben Kolera

Woot woot! @Matt Peddie !!!

TheMatten

Hooray, no more Zoom!
