An introduction to the indexed state monad in Haskell, Scala, and C#.

The Indexed State Monad in Haskell, Scala, and C#

Have you ever had to write code that made a complex series of succesive modifications to a single piece of mutable state? (Almost certainly yes.)

Did you ever wish you could make the compiler tell you if a particular operation on the state was illegal at a given point in the modifications? (If you're a fan of static typing, probably yes.)

If that's the case, the indexed state monad can help!

Instructions for setting up CDPATH completions on Mac.

CDPATH

Overview

This will allow you to include additional directories to what cd will look at for completions. From the bash man page:

The search path for the cd command. This is a colon-separated list of directories in which the shell looks for destination directories specified by the cd command.
