A substitute for the conky part in my $ conky | dzen status bar. It's practically a learning exercise. I was inspired by posts like this one [1] to give the free monad a spin and a…

I just switched from dmenu to the contrib prompt, only thing to look out for is that the searchPredicate function of the XPConfig doesn't actually seem to do anything. Setting: sea…

This seems pretty similar to the Haskell Maybe Monad. "Learn You a Haskell for Great Good!" has an example[0]: routine = case Just (0,0) of Nothing -> Nothing Just start -> case la…

"So who governs what is the correct application and interpretation of data?" Morozov doesn't worry about the correct application of data but, from what I understood reading the lin…
