| 2024-05-07 22:05:10 +0200 | <monochrom> | You can always remember x. Then it exists in your mind, and no one can take it away. Or use it wrong. :) |
| 2024-05-07 22:05:06 +0200 | <glguy> | Maybe we need universities to run introduction to deprogramming courses |
| 2024-05-07 22:04:52 +0200 | <EvanR> | constructively speaking |
| 2024-05-07 22:04:33 +0200 | <EvanR> | that would not satisfy one of the goals "x exists" |

| 2024-05-07 22:03:29 +0200 | <monochrom> | More people should use the subtraction method. Delete more code. |
| 2024-05-07 22:03:01 +0200 | <monochrom> | Alternatively, let's use minimalism. Don't even provide x and isx. Then no one can use them wrong. |
| 2024-05-07 22:01:05 +0200 | <monochrom> | My question is: What is the motivation? There is a better question behind this. |

| 2024-05-07 21:53:15 +0200 | <EvanR> | like a $20 bill that you somehow can't spent except on a specific commodity |
| 2024-05-07 21:51:28 +0200 | <EvanR> | since it seems to know about the context it is used in |

| 2024-05-07 21:51:19 +0200 | <EvanR> | it sounds like x isn't much of a value |

| 2024-05-07 21:40:21 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | I can put 'undefined' in a list |
| 2024-05-07 21:40:08 +0200 | <energizer> | what's the difference between this x and `undefined`? |
| 2024-05-07 21:38:23 +0200 | <energizer> | is x |
| 2024-05-07 21:38:23 +0200 | <mauke> | six but spelled sideways |
| 2024-05-07 21:37:23 +0200 | <ncf> | what's isx? |
| 2024-05-07 21:36:39 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | but that's incidental, you can write a list type of unboxed integers and then you can put one in there |
| 2024-05-07 21:36:28 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | I mean, I guess an unboxed value would count as "cannot put it in a list" |
| 2024-05-07 21:36:08 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | is not the whole point of polymorphism that you can instantiate a type variable with _anything_ |

| 2024-05-07 21:35:36 +0200 | <energizer> | is there a value x that trying to do anything with it other than `isx x` will fail? even identity or putting it in a list |
