My favourite is when god says “let there be light” a couple of days before he creates the sun and stars.

Yeah basically.

Without knowledge of good and evil how can you avoid evil acts? You can’t.

A leap year is every 4 years, but not every 400 years. If you could only vote on Feb 29 you’d have gone 8 years without a vote between 1996 and 2004.

This is so believable. You copy a few examples out of a textbook using cout and cin and it seems reasonably inline with other languages.

Batman in an interrogation room pins joker to the wall.

Batman: “I’ve only got one rule”

Joker: “Then that’s the rule you’re gonna have to break to get what you want”.

Now I hate Marvell and all super hero movies but I do find that quote applies to a lot of things.

If you’re truthful or law abiding then law breakers have an advantage on you. They’ll try and undermine free and fair elections.

If you’re a pacifist then people will use violence to try and control you, such as terrorism, or simply ignore your laws.

If you have socialism then people will pour in from other countries or try to exploit the system in whatever they can.

If the police or strict or lax in either direction it causes upset.

Whatever you say is a law, or a line you won’t cross, is something that people will exploit.

I used to work in Amesbury very near this site and I can tell you this completely unnecessary.

Sure fix the potholes but 2bn for 2 miles of duel carriage way that ultimately won’t speed up journeys between London and the shitholes on the A303 (eg. Salisbury) just aren’t worth it.

You gotta walk your own path.

Most people know exactly what they have to do to obtain a skill, start a business, make a friend, experience and adventure but simply don’t out of fear of the unknown.

The Internet is helpful but you got to put stock in your own lived experience.

€565m and then €365m per year for all your immigration problems solved is a bargain. We up to tens of billions overspent on our problems.

Normally this sort of organisation is called a “not for profit”. It acts like a company in every respect but doesn’t do more than pay for its own use. Examples are semi-public services such as “Transport for London” etc. in terms of org or dot com, I think you can use either.

I think the name “context wrapper” is meaningful representation. To me, (and i emphasise the to me part) It’s something that wraps on type to add more information to it.

For instance a time type could be wrapped in timezone Monad. To stop time being manipulated without the context (time zone) being corrupt, we use map to only allow specific changes to instance inside the monad.

I wrote a little blog post on my interpretation if anyone’s interested: https://blog.philliptaylor.net/?post=monads-for-oo-programmers.md

I’d love to see it ported to Linux and for Spotify to release a fork of it again.
