You might want to have a look at the time-recurrence package: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/time-recurrence For your simple cases you would do something like: Each second: starting (UTCTime ...) $ recur secondly Each minute: starting (UTCTime ...) $ recur minutely The rules can get quite a bit more complex than that. I am the author of time-recurrence, so if you have questions feel free to ping me. -Chris On Fri, Sep 14, 2012 at 6:00 AM, wrote:

Copying the mailing list, because I forgot.

Consider the code below :

{-# LANGUAGE

MultiParamTypeClasses,FlexibleInstances,FunctionalDependencies,UndecidableInstances,FlexibleContexts

...

#-} class Foo a c | a -> c instance Foo Int Float f :: (Foo Int a) => Int -> a f = undefined

Now when I see the inferred type of f in ghci

...

:t f

...

f :: Int -> Float

Now If I add the following code

g :: Int -> Float g = undefined

h :: (Foo Int a) => Int -> a h = g

I get the error

Could not deduce (a ~ Float)

I am not able to understand what has happened here ? The restriction "Foo Int a" should have restricted the type of h to "Int -> Float" as shown in the inferred type of f.

The answer, I believe, is that the difference between the fundep implementation and type families is local constraint information. Fundeps do no local propagation.

So in your first definition, you've locally provided 'Int -> a', which is acceptable to GHC. Then it figures out externally to the function that '(Foo Int a) => Int -> a' is actually Int -> Float.

In the second definition, you're trying to give 'Int -> Float', but GHC only knows locally that you need to provide 'Int -> a' with a constraint 'Foo Int a' which it _won't_ use to determine that a ~ Float.

This is not inherent to fundeps. One could make a version of fundeps that has the local constraint rules (easily so by translating to the new type families stuff). But, the difference is also the reason that overlapping instances are supported for fundeps and not type families. But I won't get into that right now.

I would like to, and in fact I've already tried, but urxvt is trickier than other shells. Using the command you gave me does not create a new window, tested both on XMonad and Gnome. This is the error you can see using the option "-hold", this way:

urxvt --hold -e "echo a"

This opens a new window with the error: *urxvt: Unable to exec child. *

I think you misunderstood; as I read it (and as I would expect it to work given the above descrtiption) that would be

urxvt --hold -e sh -c 'echo a'
