Not sure if you are looking for an explanation of Monads, but Monad tutorials are a long running joke in the haskell world. They are almost exclusively written by people for whom the concept just clicked and they either fail provide context

Unfortunately the container metaphor only works for a subset of monads. It fails with `IO`, `Reader`, `Writer`, `State`, `Parser`, etc.

I don't think that is a fair comparison. Monad is a typeclass so it would be like explaining some specific Java Interface (and all the context for Interfaces) to a 5 year old. The Haskell (since you brought up Monads) equivalent to exp

You are over estimating the complexity of fruiting commercial strains of edible mushrooms at this scale. You really only need to worry about automation when working at scale. For a single brick you just need to put the bag in a mostly clean

This device only addresses the final step of the process which is in fact the easiest step (when dealing with home scale cultivation). There are already many companies which will sell you pre-inoculated bricks which are delivered to you in

If you apply `_1` to `set` then it specializes to `set _1 :: a -> (a, b) -> (a, b)`. Yes its confusing. It sometimes helps to give longer variables: _1 :: Lens' (fst, snd) fst set :: Lens' structure focus -> foc

Not exactly a farm but I have a half acre property on the edge of Los Angeles where I have substantial gardens. I have a food forest, a bunch of raised beds for annuals, a greenhouse, and an extensive compost operation. It is really nice to

I mixed my own batch of laundry detergent before the pandemic for like $30 and am still using that batch today. It is shocking how much of our economy is unnecessary products designed to extract money from us.

Yeah you could do that but now you have thrown away the recursive `Tree` type and are always working in `TreeF`. This is totally fine but is a different design decision from where we started.

Sorry my last comment was sort of wrong because I neglected to mention Fix (I'm going to claim that I was tired :) ). They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so hopefully this clears up the difference betwene `out` and `toTreeF`:

I can't speak to Observable streams but one of the nicest things about recursion schemes is that they are guaranteed to terminate.

by solomonb 4y ago
Minor nitpick, you don't get `fold` as written for free. You would still need to provide a function `toTreeF :: tree -> tree'` then compose that with `cata`, which you do get for free: `fold t alg = cata alg (toTreeF t)`.

I can't imagine that myceliated sawdust will be any lighter then sawdust.
407.
by solomonb 5y ago
I've grown mushrooms as a hobby for 15 years. All myceliated substrates harden when they dry out, regardless of the species of fungi. You are relying on this property when you pack something in it. All the mycelium packing material exa

by solomonb 5y ago
Yet using mycelieum for packing materials requires lots of disposable plastic to convert something already suitable for a packing material (sawdust) into a different material suitable for packing material with a little green washing.

You are leaving out: - Disposable autoclavable bags - Spawn (either grain or some form of sugar water) - Disposable lab equipment (scalpels, petri dishes, parafilm, syringes, etc). Some of this doesn't need to be disposable but then yo

It is in fact trivial to compost cardboard at home! I consider cardboard a valuable resource around the garden and use it for a variety of soil building related applications.

I'm with you 100% on this. I actually cultivate gourmet mushrooms as a hobby (started about 15 years ago when I took a course in university) and am a big fan of mycology and the importance of fungi ecologically, nutritionally, and medi
412.
by solomonb 5y ago
You have to grow the fungi on some organic material such as sawdust using a ton of energy and disposable plastics to sterilize and culture the mycelium. Why not simply use the sawdust or whatever as a soft packing material on its own?

Nitpick, but there are certainly parasitic fungi which do not have a symbiotic relationship with plants. Also only some fungi have a mycorrhizal relationship with plants. Most are saprophytic meaning they decompose dead organic material. Th

to be fair, there is a ton of complexity offloaded to `xmonad-contrib`. I don't think very many people use `xmonad` without `xmonad-contrib`.
