The Haskell School of Expression is a beautiful book that I recommend to anyone that wants to learn Haskell, or to just appreciate functional programming.

Also, I motion for a black bar.

In case a mod is reading this, I second that motion.

[christianbryant]

I agree, there ought to be a black bar.

Damn, I downvoted by accident. Also count on my vote for a black bar.

[jaseemabid]

I feel that we should do it.

[mreiland]

what is a 'black bar'?

[cornstalks]

Googling revealed this: "When someone important to the community dies, a thin black bar is added to the top of HN as a mark of respect."[0]

This is what the black bar looks like:

On HN the top orange[1] bar is sometimes changed to black when someone significant[2] to computing dies.

[1] orange unless you've got enough karma to set it to some other value

[2] significant to computing is not the right phrase here, sorry for clumsiness.

[nathannecro]

Perhaps just: "someone significant to the community".

[mreiland]

got it, thanks for the explanation. I figured it was something like that, but wanted to be sure :)

[JohnTHaller]

Usually, it means adding a black bar to your website header with a message commemorating someone who has passed.

[atwebb]

I'm guessing that the default orange header bar would be black.

I came here just to upvote this.
