Anyone in my #haskell (or other, I guess) circles in charge of www.cs.nott.ac.uk ? It was working yesterday, but it keeps timing out (for me) today.
I need to re-read the section of blampied-thesis.pdf on the prefix functor, and especially how it works when the non-uniform type is self-nested in interesting ways.
Trying to do a "project :: t -> f t" and keep getting hung up on the Scope-modified recursions.
Alternatively, is that thesis available elsewhere? I searched, but haven't found.
A few weeks back I encountered a FOSS guy here explaining that when he sees open source devs ask for money, he blocks them and then stops using their code because they're morally wrong and he only wants to work with tools made by people who are doing the work for the right reasons. (I'm paraphrasing to avoid indexing the post.)
I've resisted writing about it because I'm slammed, but the question I can't shake is: Who benefits from the ideology of "pure" volunteerism?
@AmeliaBR@kissane Yeah, amateurism and professionalisation in sports was the first thing this reminded me of. (Though in that historical case there very much was a class fault line underlying the dispute.)
