Does anyone have advice for learning this kind of "intuitive, heuristic, holistic way of grokking circuits"?

Installing python libraries and programs through pip is pretty standard.

No. It's disputed, but Neanderthals almost definitely died out before the human migration to North America.

You'll really need to be able to use Monad and monad transfromers before you'll be able to use an idiomatic Haskell library, though.
There is "Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours"[1].

I don't think pattern matching is necessary for ADTs. It's useful, but you could have e.g.
> if MyType.ConstructorA(a):
> ...
> elif MyType.ConstructorB(a):
> ...
or even something like
> with MyType.ConstructorA(a) as b, c:
> ...
> else with MyType.ConstructB(a) as d:
> ...
a "with/else with" construct would be a fairly straightforward addition to Python's "context manager" interface.

I took that as a statement of fact (akin to "Chick-fil-a faced a public relations disaster ...") rather than a value judgement.

I wonder if a possible solution here is to distribute a Makefile or something that extracts the assets (sprites, music) from a ROM. I think this would make hosting a live version somewhat dubious, but the code should always be able to be distributed.
N.B. I am not a lawyer.

The veekun pokedex[1] is on github[2] and they have a crapload of csv[3] files available.

The similar software was called Gordon, and was for Flash. :)

You'd rather maintain a complete homespun project than maintain a fork of an existing one?

One way to think about text encoding is that it provides a nice way to represent indexes into a big array of glyphs: "unicode". Fonts map (some) of these indexes to graphic representations and provide "font hinting" -- clues as to how different letters should be rendered at different sizes -- and kerning information.
Usually your desktop environment is the thing that handles all of this, providing widgets for other programs to combine to create GUIs. I can't find it right now, but you can probably find e.g. GNOME/GTK's implementation.
(Re: Textmate: code is typically rendered in monospace font -- where every glyph has the same size -- so that it has the same alignment in every font with every renderer.)

I'm not really sure what to make of this response.
> The Bayesian says, "Uncertainty exists in the map, not in the territory. In the real world, the coin has either come up heads, or come up tails. Any talk of 'probability' must refer to the information that I have about the coin—my state of partial ignorance and partial knowledge—not just the coin itself.
See, QM doesn't actually work like this. There is no hidden variable. This has been proven[1].

Casting QM as a complex-valued probability space is how it's usually done.

Presumably you yourself have an unlimited license? ;)
