Finally, a topic I can speak with some authority on. I'm not sure that tags make that much sense as an organizing schema for a filesystem. It's just too painful for items to not have canonical names. In my original design, a bookm

time is very punishing to IRR as it stretches on, but the returns accumulate. you cannot assume a dollar is fungible as you may not have been able to invest in the same thing at some other point.

they don't call indefinitely, the committed amount is called over a 2-3 year period. they do this because it lets them keep the IRR low (since uncalled capital isn't invested and thus not counted) LPs generally do not want to have

i built a much nicer version once and it is QUITE difficult to drive the etch-a-sketch rigidly, as there isn't much mechanical support inside the machine. i ended up removing the knobs, adding steppers directly opposite to the shafts,
