I was inspired by posts like this one [1] to give the free monad a spin and after ~300 lines i'm almost done. But then I found other posts that talk about free and cofree [2] that I still can't really understand so I guess there still is some room for improvement.

Setting:

  searchPredicate :: String -> String -> Bool
  searchPredicate = \_ _ -> False

And the default is:

  searchPredicate = isPrefixOf

"Learn You a Haskell for Great Good!" has an example[0]:

  routine =   
    case Just (0,0) of   
        Nothing -> Nothing  
        Just start -> case landLeft 2 start of  
            Nothing -> Nothing  
            Just first -> case landRight 2 first of  
                Nothing -> Nothing  
                Just second -> landLeft 1 second

  routine = do  
    start <- return (0,0)  
    first <- landLeft 2  
    second <- landRight 2 first  
    landLeft 1 second

New packages for the "core" repo, for example the Linux kernel, are first introduced to the "testing" repo, which isn't enabled by default. You would have to manually change your pacman.conf to use it.

From the wiki [2]:

"After a kernel in core broke many user systems, the "core signoff policy" was introduced. Since then, all package updates for core need to go through a testing repository first, and only after multiple signoffs from other developers are they allowed to move. Over time, it was noticed that various core packages had low usage, and user signoffs or even lack of bug reports became informally accepted as criteria to accept such packages."

You build packages from source when you install something from the AUR[0] or you can build from the Arch Build System [1].

"The SliM project has been abandoned (the project homepage is down, leaving a github mirror), and is not fully compatible to systemd, including logind sessions. Consider using a different Display manager or Xinitrc."

Lightdm [1] seems to be a better alternative.

Now I'm curious, so I guess I'm trying it for a month [1].

I've only listed the last 2 problems now. As months go by the list will probably get longer and better reflect how much arch actually breaks (or doesn't)

I can't understand if by subvocalization he means moving your throat/mouth or simply repeating the words you are reading in your mind without moving any muscles.

Wikipedia says "subvocalization is defined as the internal speech made when reading a word"[1], which further confuses me.

I don't move any muscles while reading, but my internal monologue repeats the words I read, does this mean i subvocalize?
