To understand recursion first understand recursion on a recursive data structure (list, tree). It is very natural and there are loads of interesting algorithms. General recursion is more difficult to understand algorithmically so leave it f

That's because in order to understand recursion you must first understand recursion.

I met DK when he was visiting my university. So "his" office was the office he was assigned when visiting. He is the most wonderful person you can imagine. He came to my office and he introduced himself in the most affable way. We

It's not true, obviously. I have been in DK's office, I have seen him read and write email.

Indeed. A high-level programming language (e.g. Python) does not allow you to do _more_ than assembly but _less_. But it helps you declutter the presentation to such a great extent that realistically you could not write Python program in as

Yes, it is the case here as well. Reducing terms can be tricky because of distributive laws. The graph-like representation makes reduction algorithmically easier.

Like in any game, you invent the rules (axioms and logical systems) then you discover the consequences (theorems), just like you invent a maze then you discover the way out.

I am not sure this really is "amb" in all its glory. The incredible power of amb comes from the fact that some of the computations involved may be crashing or diverging. Crashes or non-termination are avoided by amb in favour of t

Indeed. The author is looking for abstractions where they are not. Abstractions are in Algebra in general and in Category Theory in particular. The essence of Algebra is abstraction. All Algebras start from some intended model but they abst

Yes, this is the correct answer. For everything else you don't need monads. Monads impose an evaluation order, which Haskell by default does not have, since it is lazy.

In a communication course my employer asked me to take a while back we were taught to a) never ask a yes-no question and b) never ask "why". So I would reformulate simply as "How would sshd function in this setting?"

Simplicity cannot be a goal in itself. Is the dashboard of a F35 worse than the dashboard of a car -- because it's less simple? It's the same thing with programs and programming languages. Computers are universal devices, they can

Love or hate big tobacco, millions have used and loved cigarettes. What an argument! "It's nothing as dramatic". Really? Millions of unrepairable wireless earbuds heading to the landfill every year is not dramatic?

The integrated circuit was not unrepairable on purpose. The amount of plastic packaging per transistor in an integrated circuit is much much smaller than for individual transistors. The point is that the Apple devices are not repairable on
