Fire up ghci. Make the text real big. Always show the types for everything as you go!

Takes ~1 hour generally.

Note: if you object to "uncertainty" (evocative of data/value flow possibilities), consider wording like "simultaneously possible values". It's a reference to how the compiler won't know whether Maybe a is a Just a or a Nothing statically. Don't blather at me about dependent types; I know.

Alternate verbiage for uncertainty: product - simultaneous altogetherness, sum - simultaneous singlehood. Also consider what the category theoretic diagrams look like. Can be instructive.

Suggestions taken under advisement.

Using Atom on Fedora 20

This guide walks you through the steps of building and launching the Atom text editor on Fedora 20.

Building Atom

Install prerequisite packages

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

	The z in scalaz means this: it was early 2008 and I was working for a Java consultancy and so of course, I used the most appropriate tool for the job: scala. But it had terrible libraries, so I offered to fix those while also meeting my other objectives. Turns out that the Scala guys were extremely hostile to even half-decent libraries (and still are to this day). I still struggle to wrap my head around this sometimes.

	Anyway, so I thought, well fuck it, I will just keep them to myself for now. My (awesome) employer had already agreed that we'd probably open-source such a thing, but I was concerned most about my primary goal. So then it came time to "name" this library. I had named it "scalax" simply so that I did not have the inclination to think of a proper name. Then I found out that such a library was being developed and with my internal name! Whatever, I thought.

	So I looked at this scalax library, hoping that I could just abandon my efforts and jump on board with everyone else -- they too had figure
