Solving a Dungeons & Dragons riddle using prolog

Bringing back the magic of Christmas using the magic of prolog

As part of a holiday D&D one-shot session where Santa Claus's toy factory had been sabotaged, our dungeon master presented to us, a group of Christmas elves, a riddle to solve.

9 cards, labeled with the names of Santa's reindeer were presented to us. The instructions indicated that we had to find the order reindeer were in, according to this riddle:

Vixen should be behind Rudolph, Prancer and Dasher, whilst Vixen should be in front of Dancer and Comet. Dancer should be behind Donder, Blitzen and Rudolph. Comet should be behind Cupid, Prancer and Rudolph. Donder should be behind Comet, Vixen, Dasher, Prancer and Cupid. Cupid should be in front of Comet, Blitzen, Vixen, Dancer and Rudolph. Prancer should be in front of Blitzen, Donder and Cupid. Blitzen should be behind Cupid but in front of Dancer, Vixen and Donder. Rudolph should be behind Prancer but in front of Dasher, Dancer and Dond

Configuring Emacs for react, es6, and flow

For a while, JSX and new es6 syntax had flaky support in emacs, but there's been huge work on a lot of packages. Using emacs for JavaScript with React, ES6, and Flow (or Typescript, etc) is really easy and powerful in Emacs these days.

This is how you can work on modern web development projects with full support for tooling like JSX, Flow types, live eslint errors, automatic prettier.js formatting, and more.

Set up web-mode

web-mode provides most of the underlying functionality, so a huge shout-out to the maintainer(s) there.

How to think about Monads

UPDATE 2021: I wrote this long before I wrote my book Functional Programming Made Easier: A Step-by-step Guide. For a much more in depth discussion on Monads see Chapter 18.

Initially, Monads are the biggest, scariest thing about Functional Programming and especially Haskell. I've used monads for quite some time now, but I didn't have a very good model for what they really are. I read Philip Wadler's paper Monads for functional programming and I still didnt quite see the pattern.

It wasn't until I read the blog post You Could Have Invented Monads! (And Maybe You Already Have.) that I started to see things more clearly.

This is a distillation of those works and most likely an oversimplification in an attempt to make things easier to understand. Nuance can come later. What we need when first le
