@Kryptos: He says in the video Asus eeepad (more specifically EP121)....Look out for the Fujitsu Q550 battery life double that of this one!

The Fujitsu Q550 uses N-Trig technology instead of Wacom for pen input though. For some people this might be a reason not to buy the Q550.

As to the demo, this is the ASUS Eee Slate 12" Tablet.   I would wait for the Sandy Bridge version which should be coming out soon, but this one features about 4 hours battery life.   

Do you have any sources that indicate a Sandy Bridge version will be coming out soon?

Never mind, found something on this page:

Asus tells us it hopes to see this slate's battery life increase with the transition to Sandy Bridge mobile processors, and it apparently has a battery upgrade in the works, too. Together, those changes could add up to roughly six hours of battery life in a future version of the slate, which would be a very helpful improvement.

In approximately the first half of the lecture, I found a few transitions to the next slide or point quite fast. Adding a short pause of a second or so might give the viewer a little bit of room to breathe and process all the information.

Other than that, nice work and I'm looking forward to your next C9 lecture (whenever that may be). Smiley

I do think there is still more discussion to be had on the x= x + 1 problem Erik mentioned on Actor pattern. Do you solve it via convention, static rules, or some other way? Guess would need to list all the use cases and sticky points and toss spegetti at it.

From what I've understood is that Herb suggests that you design your API in such a way that it allows your users to express as much as possible in a single call or message. In the x=x+1 example, you don't want the user to first send a message to get x, compute the new value of x and then send the new value of x back to the actor. It's probably preferable to have the user use only one message in total to update x. You could think of an "IncrementX" message, or perhaps more generally, a "ModifyX" message which contains a lambda**.

(** Hmm... are C++0x lambdas serializable?)

Bart, you use Ana instead of Unit (or Return). As you explained in the video, you can define Unit in terms of Ana. So far's everything fine.

The thing I've been pondering about, can you always define Ana for each monad M?

The problem is that operators are static in C# (Shared in VB), so you are pretty much forced to multiple overloads.

Here's something I found about generic operators written by Marc Gravell and Jon Skeet: http://www.yoda.arachsys.com/csharp/genericoperators.html

@Bart: I'm amazed by your simple IE->IO->Amb->IE roundtrip example. It is concise yet clear, demonstrating the importance of orthogonality.

Also, when Bart used the word "aspect" in his explanation of what a monad is, I was reminded of the following paper: On the relation of aspects and monads.

The GHC docs argue that the behaviour of GADTs are more useful than H98's data constraints.

(But since I don't really have experience in this particular area of Haskell, I can't tell how strong this argument is.)

But on slide 20,

 

data Expr x => Neg x = Neg x

 

you don't really need the constraint in the data declaration, right?

 

Actually, they are even considered to be a misfeature by some. (Post found via this Haskell wiki page)

Sum could be implemented such that it still returns an IMonad<T>

 

As discussed in the video, IO<T>.Sum() does return an IO<T>. Now for IE<T>, the problem is backwards compatibility. Changing IE<T>.Sum() to return an IE<T> instead of a T breaks existing code.
