I think that's a black-and-white interpretation of the point. Seems like there's a set of marriages that would hold regardless of social pressure, and a set of marriages that would be miserable if forced together, and a grey zone

> This is where composition helps. It does, though in my experience it leads you down a path that ends in some pretty strange names, as you nominalise more and more nebulous concepts, trying to verb in the kingdom of nouns.

There were multiple chess-related submissions in SIGBOVIK 2019: http://www.sigbovik.org/2019/ In particular, there was one that played a bunch of chess engines against each other, and came up with a better metric than

Bear in mind that often the reason Haskell code uses one-letter names (and this is possibly true for the other MLs) is that your types can be so generic that you can write useful functions without knowing what you're working on. In suc
