+title: Rendering Mathematics On The Back End
+date: 2020-07-21T14:54:26-07:00
+tags: ["Website", "Nix", "Ruby", "KaTeX"]
+---
+
+Due to something of a streak of bad luck when it came to computers, I spent a
+significant amount of time using a Linux-based Chromebook, and then a
+Pinebook Pro. It was, in some way, enlightening. The things that I used to take
+for granted with a 'powerful' machine now became a rare luxury: StackOverflow,
+and other relatively static websites, took upwards of ten seconds to finish
+loading. On Slack, each of my keypresses could take longer than 500ms to
+appear on the screen, and sometimes, it would take several seconds. Some
+websites would present me with a white screen, and remain that way for much
+longer than I had time to wait. It was awful.
+
+At one point, I installed uMatrix, and made it the default policy to block
+all JavaScript. For the most part, this worked well. Of course, I had to
+enable JavaScript for applications that needed to be interactive, like
+Slack, and Discord. But for the most part, I was able to browse the majority
+of the websites I normally browse. This went on until I started working
+on the [compiler series]({{< relref "00_compiler_intro.md" >}}) again,
+and discovered that the LaTeX math on my page, which was required
+for displaying things like inference rules, didn't work without
+JavaScript. I was left with two options:
+
+* Allow JavaScript, and continue using MathJax to render my math.
+* Make it so that the mathematics are rendered on the back end.
+
+I've [previously written about math rendering]({{< relref "math_rendering_is_wrong.md" >}}),
+and made the observation that MathJax's output for LaTeX is __identical__
+on every computer. From the MathJax 2.6 change log:
+
+> _Improved CommonHTML output_. The CommonHTML output now provides the same layout quality and MathML support as the HTML-CSS and SVG output. It is on average 40% faster than the other outputs and the markup it produces are identical on all browsers and thus can also be pre-generated on the server via MathJax-node.
+
+It seems absurd, then, to offload this kind of work into the users, to
+be done over and over again. As should be clear from the title of
+this post, this made me settle for the second option: it was
+__obviously within reach__, especially for a statically-generated website
+like mine, to render math on the backend.
+
+I settled on the following architecture:
+
+* As before, I would generate my pages using Hugo.
+* I would use the KaTeX NPM package to render math.
+* To build the website no matter what system I was on, I would use Nix.
+
+It so happens that Nix isn't really required for using my approach in general.
+I will give my setup here, but feel free to skip ahead.
+
+### Setting Up A Nix Build
+My `default.nix` file looks like this:
+
+```Nix {linenos=table}
+    { stdenv, hugo, fetchgit, pkgs, nodejs, ruby }:
+
+    let
+        url = "https://dev.danilafe.com/Web-Projects/blog-static.git";
+        rev = "<commit>";
+        sha256 = "<hash>";
+        requiredPackages = import ./required-packages.nix {
+            inherit pkgs nodejs;
+        };
+    in
+        stdenv.mkDerivation {
+            name = "blog-static";
+            version = rev;
+            src = fetchgit {
+                inherit url rev sha256;
+            };
+            builder = ./builder.sh;
+            converter = ./convert.rb;
+            buildInputs = [
+                hugo
+                requiredPackages.katex
+                (ruby.withPackages (ps: [ ps.nokogiri ]))
+            ];
+        }
+```
+
+I'm using `node2nix` to generate the `required-packages.nix` file, which allows me,
+even from a sandboxed Nix build, to download and install `npm` packages. This is needed
+so that I have access to the `katex` binary at build time. I fed the following JSON file
+to `node2nix`:
+
+```JSON {linenos=table}
+[
+    "katex"
+]
+```
+
+The Ruby script I wrote for this (more on that soon) required the `nokogiri` gem, which
+I used for traversing the HTML generated for my site. Hugo was obviously required to
+generate the HTML.
+
+### Converting LaTeX To HTML
+After my first post complaining about the state of mathematics on the web, I received
+the following email (which the author allowed me to share):
+
+> Sorry for having a random stranger email you, but in your blog post
+[(link)](https://danilafe.com/blog/math_rendering_is_wrong) you seem to focus on MathJax's
+difficulty in rendering things server-side, while quietly ignoring that KaTeX's front
+page advertises server-side rendering. Their documentation [(link)](https://katex.org/docs/options.html)
+even shows (at least as of the time this email was sent) that it renders both HTML
+(to be arranged nicely with their CSS) for visuals and MathML for accessibility.
+
+The author of the email then kindly provided a link to a page they generated using KaTeX and
+some Bash scripts. The math on this page was rendered at the time it was generated.
+
+This is a great point, and KaTeX is indeed usable for server-side rendering. But I've
+seen few people who do actually use it. Unfortunately, as I pointed out in my previous post on the subject,
+few tools actually take your HTML page and replace LaTeX with rendered math.
+Here's what I wrote about this last time:
+
+> [In MathJax,] The bigger issue, though, was that the `page2html`
+program, which rendered all the mathematics in a single HTML page,
+was gone. I found `tex2html` and `text2htmlcss`, which could only
+render equations without the surrounding HTML. I also found `mjpage`,
+which replaced mathematical expressions in a page with their SVG forms.
+
+This is still the case, in both MathJax and KaTeX. The ability
+to render math in one step is the main selling point of front-end LaTeX renderers:
+all you have to do is drop in a file from a CDN, and voila, you have your
+math. There are no such easy answers for back-end rendering. In fact,
+as we will soon see, it's not possible to just search-and-replace occurences
+of mathematics on your page, either. To actually get KaTeX working
+on the backend, you need access to tools that handle the potential variety
+of edge cases associated with HTML. Such tools, to my knowledge, do not
+currently exist.
+
+I decided to write my own Ruby script to get the job done. From this script, I
+would call the `katex` command-line program, which would perform
+the heavy lifting of rendering the mathematics.
+
+There are two types of math on my website: inline math and display math.
+On the command line ([here are the docs](https://katex.org/docs/cli.html)),
+the distinction is made using the `--display-mode` argument. So, the general algorithm
+is to replace the code inside the `$$...$$` with their display-rendered version,
+and the code inside the `\(...\)` with the inline-rendered version. I came up with
+the following Ruby function:
+
+```Ruby {linenos=table}
+def render_cached(cache, command, string, render_comment = nil)
+  cache.fetch(string) do |new|
+    puts "  Rendering #{render_comment || new}"
+    cache[string] = Open3.popen3(command) do |i, o, e, t|
+      i.write new
+      i.close
+      o.read.force_encoding(Encoding::UTF_8).strip
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Here, the `cache` argument is used to prevent re-running the `katex` command
+on an equation that was already rendered before (the output is the same, after all).
+The `command` is the specific shell command that we want to invoke; this would
+be either `katex` or `katex -d`. The `string` is the math equation to render,
+and the `render_comment` is the string to print to the console instead of the equation
+(so that long, display math equations are not printed out to standard out).
+
+Then, given a substring of the HTML file, we use regular expressions
+to find the `\(...\)` and `$$...$$`s, and use the `render_cached` method
+on the LaTeX code inside.
+
+```Ruby {linenos=table}
+def perform_katex_sub(inline_cache, display_cache, content)
+  rendered = content.gsub /\\\(((?:[^\\]|\\[^\)])*)\\\)/ do |match|
+    render_cached(inline_cache, "katex", $~[1])
+  end
+  rendered = rendered.gsub /\$\$((?:[^\$]|$[^\$])*)\$\$/ do |match|
+    render_cached(display_cache, "katex -d", $~[1], "display")
+  end
+  return rendered
+end
+```
+
+There's a bit of a trick to the final layer of this script. We want to be
+really careful about where we replace LaTeX, and where we don't. In
+particular, we _don't_ want to go into the `code` tags. Otherwise,
+it wouldn't be possible to talk about LaTeX code! I also suspect that
+some captions, alt texts, and similar elements should also be left alone.
+However, I don't have those on my website (yet), and I won't worry about
+them now. Either way, because of the code tags,
+we can't just search-and-replace over the entire page; we need to be context
+aware. This is where `nokogiri` comes in. We parse the HTML, and iterate
+over all of the 'text' nodes, calling `perform_katex_sub` on all
+of those that _aren't_ inside code tags.
+
+Fortunately, this kind of iteration is pretty easy to specify thanks to something called XPath.
+This was my first time encountering it, but it seems extremely useful: it's
+a sort of language for selecting XML nodes. First, you provide an 'axis',
+which is used to specify the positions of the nodes you want to look at
+relative to the root node. The axis `/` looks at the immediate children
+(this would be the `html` tag in a properly formatted document, I would imagine).
+The axis `//` looks at all the transitive children. That is, it will look at the
+children of the root, then its children, and so on. There's also the `self` axis,
+which looks at the node itself.
+
+After you provide an axis, you need to specify the type of node that you want to
+select. We can write `code`, for instance, to pick only the `<code>....</code>` tags
+from the axis we've chosen. We can also use `*` to select any node, and we can
+use `text()` to select text nodes, such as the `Hello` inside of `<b>Hello</b>`.
+
+We can also apply some more conditions to the nodes we pick using `[]`.
+For us, the relevant feature here is `not(...)`, which allows us to
+select nodes that do __not__ match a particular condition. This is all
+we need to know.
+
+We write:
+
+* `//`, starting to search for nodes everywhere, not just the root of the document.
+* `*`, to match _any_ node. We want to replace math inside of `div`s, `span`s, `nav`s,
+all of the `h`s, and so on.
+* `[not(self::code)]`, cutting out all the `code` tags.
+* `/`, now selecting the nodes that are immediate descendants of the nodes we've selected.
+* `text()`, giving us the text contents of all the nodes we've selected.
+
+All in all:
+
+```
+//*[not(self::code)]/text()
+```
+
+Finally, we use this XPath from `nokogiri`:
+
+```Ruby {linenos=table}
+files = ARGV[0..-1]
+inline_cache, display_cache = {}, {}
+
+files.each do |file|
+  puts "Rendering file: #{file}"
+  document = Nokogiri::HTML.parse(File.open(file))
+  document.search('//*[not(self::code)]/text()').each do |t|
+    t.replace(perform_katex_sub(inline_cache, display_cache, t.content))
+  end
+  File.write(file, document.to_html)
+end
+```
+
+I named this script `convert.rb`; it's used from inside of the Nix expression
+and its builder, which we will cover below.
+
+### Tying it All Together
+Finally, I wanted an end-to-end script to generate HTML pages and render the LaTeX in them.
+I used Nix for this, but the below script will largely be compatible with a non-Nix system.
+I came up with the following, commenting on Nix-specific commands:
+
+```Bash {linenos=table}
+# Nix-specific; set up paths.
+source $stdenv/setup
+
+# Build site with Hugo
+# The cp is Nix-specific; it copies the blog source into the current directory.
+cp -r $src/* .
+hugo --baseUrl="https://danilafe.com"
+
+# Render math in HTML and XML files.
+# $converter is Nix-specific; you can just use convert.rb.
+find public/ -regex "public/.*\.html" | xargs ruby $converter
+
+# Output result
+# $out is Nix-specific; you can replace it with your destination folder.
+mkdir $out
+cp -r public/* $out/
+```
+
+This is it! Using the two scripts, `convert.rb` and `builder.sh`, I
+was able to generate my blog with the math rendered on the back-end.
+Please note, though, that I had to add the KaTeX CSS to my website's
+`<head>`.
+
+### Caveats
+The main caveat of my approach is performance. For every piece of
+mathematics that I render, I invoke the `katex` command. This incurs
+the penalty of Node's startup time, every time, and makes my approach
+take a few dozen seconds to run on my relatively small site. The
+better approach would be to use a NodeJS script, rather than a Ruby one,
+to perform the conversion. KaTeX also provides an API, so such a NodeJS
+script can find the files, parse the HTML, and perform the substitutions.
+I did quite like using `nokogiri` here, though, and I hope that an equivalently
+pleasant solution exists in JavaScript.
+
+Re-rendering the whole website is also pretty wasteful. I rarely change the
+mathematics on more than one page at a time, but every time I do so, I have
+to re-run the script, and therefore re-render every page. This makes sense
+for me, since I use Nix, and my builds are pretty much always performed
+from scratch. On the other hand, for others, this may not be the best solution.
+
+### Alternatives
+The same person who sent me the original email above also pointed out
+[this `pandoc` filter for KaTeX](https://github.com/Zaharid/pandoc_static_katex).
+I do not use Pandoc, but from what I can see, this fitler relies on
+Pandoc's `Math` AST nodes, and applies KaTeX to each of those. This
+should work, but wasn't applicable in my case, since Hugo's shrotcodes
+don't mix well with Pandoc. However, it certainly seems like a workable
+solution.
+
+### Conclusion
+With the removal of MathJax from my site, it is now completely JavaScript free,
+and contains virtually the same HTML that it did beforehand. This, I hope,
+makes it work better on devices where computational power is more limited.
+I also hope that it illustrates a general principle - it's very possible,
+and plausible, to render LaTeX on the back-end for a static site.

+title: "How Many Values Does a Boolean Have?"
+date: 2020-08-21T23:05:55-07:00
+tags: ["Java", "Haskell", "C and C++"]
+---
+
+A friend of mine recently had an interview for a software
+engineering position. They later recounted to me the content
+of the technical questions that they had been asked. Some had
+been pretty standard:
+
+* __"What's the difference between concurrency
+and parallelism?"__ -- a reasonable question given that Go was
+the company's language of choice.
+* __"What's the difference between a method and a function?"__ --
+a little more strange, in my opinion, since the difference
+is of little _practical_ use.
+
+But then, they recounted a rather interesting question:
+
+> How many values does a bool have?
+
+Innocuous at first, isn't it? Probably a bit simpler, in fact,
+than the questions about methods and functions, concurrency
+and parallelism. It's plausible that a candidate
+has not done much concurrent or parallel programming in their
+life, or that they came from a language in which functions
+were rare and methods were ubiquitous. It's not plausible,
+on the other hand, that a candidate applying to a software
+engineering position has not encountered booleans.
+
+If you're genuinely unsure about the answer to the question,
+I think there's no reason for me to mess with you. The
+simple answer to the question -- as far as I know -- is that a boolean
+has two values. They are `true` and `false` in Java, or `True` and `False`
+in Haskell, and `1` and `0` in C. A boolean value is either true or false.
+
+So, what's there to think about? There are a few things, _ackshually_. 
+Let's explore them, starting from the theoretical perspective.
+
+### Types, Values, and Expressions
+Boolean, or `bool`, is a type. Broadly speaking, a type
+is a property of _something_ that defines what the _something_
+means and what you can do with it. That _something_ can be
+several things; for our purposes, it can either be an
+_expression_ in a programming language (like those in the form `fact(n)`)
+or a value in that same programming language (like `5`).
+
+Dealing with values is rather simple. Most languages have finite numbers,
+usually with \\(2^{32}\\) values, which have type `int`,
+`i32`, or something in a similar vein. Most languages also have
+strings, of which there are as many as you have memory to contain,
+and which have the type `string`, `String`, or occasionally
+the more confusing `char*`. Most languages also have booleans,
+as we discussed above.
+
+The deal with expressions is a more interesting. Presumably
+expressions evaluate to values, and the type of an expression
+is then the type of values it can yield. Consider the following
+snippet in C++:
+
+```C
+int square(int x) {
+    return x * x;
+}
+```
+
+Here, the expression `x` is known to have type `int` from
+the type signature provided by the user. Multiplication
+of integers yields an integer, and so the type of `x*x` is also
+of type `int`. Since `square(x)` returns `x*x`, it is also 
+of type `int`. So far, so good.
+
+Okay, how about this:
+
+```C++
+int meaningOfLife() {
+    return meaningOfLife();
+}
+```
+
+No, wait, doesn't say "stack overflow" just yet. That's no fun.
+And anyway, this is technically a tail call, so maybe our
+C++ compiler can avoid growing the stack. And indeed,
+flicking on the `-O2` flag in this [compiler explorer example](https://godbolt.org/z/9cv4nY),
+we can see that no stack growth is necessary: it's just
+an infinite loop. But `meaningOfLife` will never return a value. One could say
+this computation _diverges_.
+
+Well, if it diverges, just throw the expression out of the window! That's
+no `int`! We only want _real_ `int`s!
+
+And here, we can do that. But what about the following:
+
+```C++
+inf_int collatz(inf_int x) {
+    if(x == 1) return 1;
+    if(x % 2 == 0) return collatz(x/2);
+    return collatz(x * 3 + 1);
+}
+```
+
+Notice that I've used the fictitious type
+`inf_int` to represent integers that can hold
+arbitrarily large integer values, not just the 32-bit ones.
+That is important for this example, and I'll explain why shortly.
+
+The code in the example is a simulation of the process described
+in the [Collatz conjecture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture).
+Given an input number `x`, if the number is even, it's divided in half,
+and the process continues with the halved number. If, on the other
+hand, the number is odd, it's multiplied by 3, 1 is added to it,
+and the process continues with _that_ number. The only way for the
+process to terminate is for the computation to reach the value 1.
+
+Why does this matter? Because as of right now, __nobody knows__
+whether or not the process terminates for all possible input numbers.
+We have a strong hunch that it does; we've checked a __lot__
+of numbers and found that the process terminates for them.
+This is why 32-bit integers are not truly sufficient for this example;
+we know empirically that the function will terminate for them.
+
+But why does _this_ matter? Well, it matters because we don't know
+whether or not this function will diverge, and thus, we can't
+'throw it out of the window' like we wanted to with `meaningOfLife`!
+In general, it's _impossible to tell_ whether or not a program will
+terminate; that is the [halting problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem).
+So, what do we do?
+
+It turns out to be convenient -- formally -- to treat the result of a diverging computation
+as its own value. This value is usually called 'bottom', and written as \\(\\bot\\).
+Since in most programming languages, you can write a nonterminating expression or
+function of any type, this 'bottom' is included in _all_ types. So in fact, the
+possible values of `unsigned int` are \\(\\bot, 0, 1, 2, ...\\) and so on.
+As you may have by now guessed, the same is true for a boolean: we have \\(\\bot\\), `true`, and `false`.
+
+### Haskell and Bottom
+You may be thinking:
+
+> Now he's done it; he's gone off the deep end with all that programming language
+theory. Tell me, Daniel, where the heck have you ever encountered \\(\\bot\\) in
+code? This question was for a software engineering interview, after all!
+
+You're right; I haven't _specifically_ seen the symbol \\(\\bot\\) in my time
+programming. But I have frequently used an equivalent notation for the same idea:
+`undefined`. In fact, here's a possible definition of `undefined` in Haskell:
+
+```
+undefined = undefined
+```
+
+Just like `meaningOfLife`, this is a divergent computation! What's more is that
+the type of this computation is, in Haskell, `a`. More explicitly -- and retreating
+to more mathematical notation -- we can write this type as: \\(\\forall \\alpha . \\alpha\\).
+That is, for any type \\(\\alpha\\), `undefined` has that type! This means
+`undefined` can take on _any_ type, and so, we can write:
+
+```Haskell
+myTrue :: Bool
+myTrue = True
+
+myFalse :: Bool
+myFalse = False
+
+myBool :: Bool
+myBool = undefined
+```
+
+In Haskell, this is quite useful. For instance, if one's in the middle
+of writing a complicated function, and wants to check their work so far,
+they can put 'undefined' for the part of the function they haven't written. 
+They can then compile their program; the typechecker will find any mistakes
+they've made so far, but, since the type of `undefined` can be _anything_,
+that part of the program will be accepted without second thought.
+
+The language Idris extends this practice with the idea of typed holes,
+where you can leave fragments of your program unwritten, and ask the
+compiler what kind of _thing_ you need to write to fill that hole.
+
+### Java and `null`
+Now you may be thinking:
+
+> This whole deal with Haskell's `undefined` is beside the point; it doesn't
+really count as a value, since it's just a nonterminating
+expression. What you're doing is a kind of academic autofellatio.
+
+Alright, I can accept this criticism. Perhaps just calling a nonterminating
+function a value _is_ far-fetched (even though in [denotational semantics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denotational_semantics)
+we _do_ extend types with \\(\\bot\\)). But denotational semantics are not
+the only place where types are implicitly extend with an extra value;
+let's look at Java.
+
+In Java, we have `null`. At the
+core language level, any function or method that accepts a class can also take `null`;
+if `null` is not to that function or method's liking, it has to 
+explicitly check for it using `if(x == null)`. 
+
+This `null` value does not at first interact with booleans.
+After all, Java's booleans are not classes. Unlike classes, which you have
+to allocate using `new`, you can just throw around `true` and `false` as you see
+fit. Also unlike classes, you simply can't assign `null` to a boolean value.
+
+The trouble is, the parts of Java dealing with _generics_, which allow you to write
+polymorphic functions, can't handle 'primitives' like `bool`. If you want to have an `ArrayList`
+of something, that something _must_ be a class.
+But what if you really _do_ want an `ArrayList` of booleans? Java solves this problem by introducing
+'boxed' booleans: they're primitives wrapped in a class, called `Boolean`. This class
+can then be used for generics.
+
+But see, this is where `null` has snuck in again. By allowing `Boolean` to be a class
+(thereby granting it access to generics), we've also given it the ability to be null.
+This example is made especially compelling because Java supports something
+they call [autoboxing](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/data/autoboxing.html):
+you can directly assign a primitive to a variable of the corresponding boxed type. 
+Consider the example:
+
+```Java
+Boolean myTrue = true;
+Boolean myFalse = false;
+Boolean myBool = null;
+```
+
+Beautiful, isn't it? Better yet, unlike Haskell, where you can't _really_
+check if your `Bool` is `undefined` (because you can't tell whether
+a non-terminating computation is as such), you can very easily
+check if your `Boolean` is `true`, `false`, or `null`:
+
+```Java
+assert myTrue != myFalse;
+assert myFalse != myBool;
+assert myTrue != myBool;
+```
+
+We're okay to use `!=` here, instead of `equals`, because it so happens
+each boxed instance of a `boolean` value
+[refers to the same `Boolean` object](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28636738/equality-of-boxed-boolean).
+In fact, this means that a `Boolean` variable can have __exactly__ 3 values!
+
+### C and Integers
+Oh the luxury of having a type representing booleans in your language!
+It's almost overly indulgent compared to the spartan minimalism of C.
+In C, boolean conditions are represented as numbers. You can perhaps get
+away with throwing around `char` or `short int`, but even then,
+these types allow far more values than two! 
+
+```C
+unsigned char test = 255;
+while(test) test -= 1;
+```
+
+This loop will run 255 times, thereby demonstrating
+that C has at least 255 values that can be used
+to represent the boolean `true`.
+
+There are other languages
+with this notion of 'truthy' and 'falsey' values, in which
+something not exactly `true` or `false` can be used as a condition. However,
+some of them differ from C in that they also extend this idea
+to equality. In JavaScript:
+
+```JavaScript
+console.assert(true == 1)
+console.assert(false == 0)
+```
+
+Then, there are still exactly two distinct boolean values
+modulo `==`. No such luck in C, though! We have 256 values that fit in `unsigned char`,
+all of which are also distinct modulo `==`. Our boolean
+variable can contain all of these values. And there is no
+respite to be found with `enum`s, either. We could try define:
+
+```C
+enum bool { TRUE, FALSE };
+```
+
+Unfortunately, all this does is define `bool` to be a numeric
+type that can hold at least 2 distinct values, and define
+numeric constants `TRUE` and `FALSE`. So in fact, you can
+_still_ write the following code:
+
+```C
+enum bool b1 = TRUE;
+enum bool b2 = FALSE;
+enum bool b3 = 15;
+```
+
+And so, no matter how hard you try, your 'boolean'
+variable can have many, many values!
+
+### Conclusion
+I think that 'how many values does a boolean have' is a strange
+question. Its purpose can be one of two things:
+
+* The interviewer expected a long-form response such as this one.
+This is a weird expectation for a software engineering candidate -
+how does knowing about \\(\\bot\\), `undefined`, or `null` help in
+creating software, especially if this information is irrelevant
+to the company's language of choice?
+* The interviewer expected the simple answer. In that case,
+my previous observation applies: what software engineering
+candidate has _not_ seen a boolean in their time programming?
+Surely candidates are better screened before they are offered
+an interview?
+
+Despite the question's weirdness, I think that the resulting
+investigation of the matter -- outside of the interview setting -- 
+is useful, and perhaps, in a way, enlightening. It may help
+one understand the design choices made in _their_ language of choice,
+and how those choices shape the code that they write.
+
+That's all I have! I hope that you found it interesting.

+title: DELL Is A Horrible Company And You Should Avoid Them At All Costs
+date: 2020-07-23T13:40:05-07:00
+tags: ["Electronics"]
+---
+
+I really do not want this to be a consumer electronics blog. Such things
+aren't interesting to me, and nor do I have much knowledge
+about them. However, sometimes, ripples from these areas make their way
+into my life, and this is one such instance. Let me tell you
+{{< sidenote "right" "source-note" "a story" >}}
+I originally wrote about this in
+<a href="https://www.dell.com/community/XPS/Ridiculously-Bad-Support-Experience/td-p/7554383">a thread on DELL's support website</a>. Some of this post is
+going to be adapted from the support website, but some things have happened
+since. You will probably notice the change between the terse language I used
+in the original post and the fresh text that I'm writing now.
+{{< /sidenote >}} of
+my experience with DELL and their XPS 2-in-1 laptop, which has gone on since
+around January of 2020, and is still going at the time of writing, in July
+2020, half a year later.
+
+I was, until recently, an undergraduate student in Computer Science. I will
+soon be starting my Masters in Computer Science, too. I say this to make one
+thing clear: I need a computer. Not only is it a necessity for my major,
+but the majority of my hobbies -- including this blog -- are digital, too.
+Since my university is a couple of hours from my home, I travel back and forth
+a lot. I also have a cozy little spot in the
+{{< sidenote "right" "offices-note" "graduate student offices" >}}
+They're a bunch of cubicles in a keycard-protected room, really. Nothing fancy.
+{{< /sidenote >}}at my university, but travel by bus, so I find myself spending
+roughly equal portions of my work time at home and 'elsewhere'. A laptop
+as my primary machine, I thought, made sense. But it had to be a decent one.
+Persuaded by one of my instructors, who stressed the importance of vision and
+a decent screen, I settled on a DELL XPS, which at the time came with a 4k
+display.
+
+As is commonplace, things went great at first. The screen _was_ really nice,
+all of my code compiled swiftly, and even the games I occasionally played ran
+at a solid 60fps. I was happy with my purchase.
+
+There was one hiccup before things went really downhill, a sort of
+foreshadowing of things to come. My trackpad didn't work at peculiar times.
+
+### Prologue: Trackpad Hiccups
+While working, booted into Linux, I noticed that my trackpad was having some
+trouble. It was stuttering, and occasionally wouldn't work at all for seconds
+at a time. I assumed that this was a problem with the trackpad drivers on
+Linux, or perhaps the whole system was freezing up. I rebooted, and the
+problem went away.
+
+Until it came back.
+
+A few days later, my trackpad was freezing virtually every minute.
+It was strange, but fortunately, I'm used to a keyboard-based workflow, and
+the malfunctions did not affect me too much. It was just a little troubling.
+What soon made it more troubling, was that I noticed this exact same issue
+occurring on Windows. To me, this meant one dreadful thing: it was a hardware
+issue.
+
+I poked and prodded for a little bit, and finally discovered the cause:
+whenever I put my hand on the left palmrest, the trackpad would reliably stop
+working. Knowing what the issue was, I called DELL. I spoke to a guy on the
+other end, who had me run through diagnostics, driver updates, and BIOS
+settings (I imagined this was procedure, so I didn't mind doing the extra
+work to make the other guy's job easier). Finally, he scheduled a repair
+appointment. A technician came into my house, took off the laptop cover,
+and said something along the lines of:
+
+> Now look. They gave me a whole new motherboard and case to replace yours,
+but in my personal opinion, this is a bad idea. Things are bound to break
+when you do this. See how the replacement case has an insulating piece
+of fabric under the left palmrest, and yours doesn't? Why don't we rip
+the fabric off the replacement case, and tape it in place on your machine,
+without any reassembly?
+
+This man was wiser than any of the other DELL technicians, I now understand.
+The repair went without a hitch. He grilled me for going to college instead of
+just picking up a trade, which was cheaper and offered more job security.
+In the end, I felt a little weird about having a piece of fabric duct taped
+inside my computer, but the trackpad had no more issues ever since. All was
+well.
+
+### Service Request 1: Broken D Key
+All was well, that is, until the middle of winter term. I was typing up an
+assignment for a university class. I was working as usual, when I suddenly
+noticed that the "d" key stopped working - it had to be pressed rather weird
+to register on the computer. I looked down, and discovered that the key had
+snapped in half. The top part of the key fell off shortly thereafter.
+
+{{< figure src="brokenkey.jpg" caption="The broken D key shortly after the above events." >}}
+
+At that point, I was more surprised than anything. I hadn't heard of something
+like this ever happening, especially under circumstances as normal as typing.
+Regardless, I contacted support, and set up a repair appointment. Things only
+went downhill from there.
+
+Again, the appointment was scheduled, and only a few days later, another
+technician arrived at my house. The only way to repair the key, he said,
+was to replace the whole keyboard. They keyboard happens to be located
+underneath all the other hardware, and so, the entire laptop had to be
+disassembled and reassembled from scratch. He worked for about an hour, and
+eventually, he put the machine together. The words of the previous
+technician, who wanted to avoid doing exactly what had just been done, echoed
+in my head:
+
+> Things are bound to break when you do this.
+
+I asked him to test it, just to make sure everything works. Sure enough,
+not everything did work: the machine no longer had sound!
+
+### Service Request 2: No sound
+During diagnostics, the laptop did not emit the "beep" it usually does. This
+was the first sign. Booting into Windows, the sound icon was crossed out in
+red, and no sound was present. Booting into Linux led to similar results.
+The microphone on the machine did not seem to work either. The service
+technician said that he didn't have the parts to repair it, told me he'd call
+it in, and left. Soon after, I got an email asking for times I'm available to
+call: I said "any time except for 1-4 pacific time". DELL support proceeded
+to call me at 3pm pacific time, when I had no service. Unable to reach me,
+they promptly notified me that they are archiving my service request.
+
+This all occurred near finals week at my university, so I had to put the issue
+on hold. I had to maintain my grades, and I had to grade heaps of assignments
+from other students. Though the lack of sound was annoying, it wasn't as
+pressing as preparing for exams, so it was during spring break that I finally
+called again, and scheduled the service appointment. By then,
+{{< sidenote "right" "pandemic-note" "the pandemic was in full swing," >}}
+Just for posterity, in 2020, there had been an outbreak of COVID-19,
+a Coronavirus. Many states in the U.S., including my own, issued
+the orders for lockdown and social distancing, which meant the closing
+of schools, restaurants, and, apparently, the cessation of in-person
+repairs.
+{{< /sidenote >}}and DELL told me they'd mail me a box to put my laptop in, and
+I'd have to mail it off to their service center. Sure, I thought, that's
+fine. If it's at the service center, they won't ever "not have the required
+parts". I told the tech support person my address, he read it back to me, and
+so it was settled.
+
+Until, that is, the box arrived at the wrong address.
+
+I had received the machine as a gift from my family, who purchased the
+computer to arrive at their address. The box arrived at that address too,
+despite my explicit instructions to have it deliver to my current residence.
+Since my family and I live 2 hours apart, it took 4 total hours to get the box
+to me (a drive that couldn't be made right away!), and by the time I had it,
+DELL was already threatening me again with closing the service request.
+Eventually, I was able to mail the machine off, and about 5 business days
+later (business days during which I did not have a working machine, which is
+very necessary for my school and job) I received it back. I was excited to
+have the machine back, but that didn't last very long. As I was using the
+computer with Wolfram Mathematica (a rather heavy piece of software running
+under Linux), I noticed that it was discharging even while plugged in. I
+booted into Windows, and was greeted with a warning, something along the
+lines of: "you are using a slow charger. Please use the official adapter".
+But I was using the official adapter! I also tried to plug my mouse into the
+relevant USB-C port, only to discover that it did not work. I had to make
+another service requests.
+
+### Service Request 3: Broken Charging Port
+This time, I made sure to tell the person on the other end of the support
+call to please send it to my address. I asked if there was anything I can do,
+or anyone I can contact, and was told "no, just mail the computer in again."
+I obliged. The box arrived at the right address this time, so I was able to
+ship it off.
+
+In the "describe your issue" field on the provided form, I begged the
+technicians to send me a working machine. "Please", I wrote "Last time I got
+a machine back from support, it was still broken. I really need it for school
+and work!". 5 business days later, I received the machine back. I plugged it
+in to make sure it worked, only to find out . . . that the very same charging
+port that I requested be repaired, is still broken! It would've been funny,
+if it wasn't infuriating. How is it possible for me to receive a machine from
+repairs, without the thing I asked to repair being as much as improved?!
+
+Worse, a day after I received the machine back (I was able to keep using it
+thanks to it having two USB-C ports capable of charging), the LCD suddenly
+flashed, and started flickering. Thinking it was a software glitch, I
+restarted the machine, only to discover the same flickering during the boot
+animation and menu. Not only was the charging port not repaired, but now my
+LCD was broken! (in the below picture, the screen is meant to be blue, but
+the bottom part of the display is purple and flickering).
+
+{{< figure src="brokenlcd.jpg" caption="The broken LCD." >}}
+
+### Service Request 4: Broken LCD
+I called in to support again, and they once again told me to ship the machine 
+off. What's worse, they accused me of breaking the port myself, and told me
+this was no longer covered under basic warranty. I had to explain all over
+again that the port worked fine before the fateful day the D-key snapped. They
+told me they'd "look into it". Eventually, I received a box in the mail. I
+wasn't told I would be receiving a box, but that wasn't a big deal. I mailed
+off the machine.
+
+The UPS shipping was always the most streamlined part of the process. A day
+later, I was told my machine was received intact. Another day, and I was
+informed that the technicians are starting to work on it. And then,
+a few hours later:
+
+> __Current Status:__
+> The part(s) needed to repair your system are not currently in stock.
+> __What's Next:__
+> In most cases the parts are available is less than five days.
+
+A few days is no big deal, and it made sense that DELL wouldn't just
+have screens lying around. So I waited. And waited. And waited. Two weeks
+later, I got a little tired of waiting, and called the repair center.
+An automated message told me:
+
+> We're currently experiencing heavy call volumes. Please try again later. Goodbye.
+
+And the call was dropped. This happened every time I tried to call, no matter
+the hour. The original status update -- the one that notified me about the
+part shortage -- came on May 8th, but the machine finally arrived to me
+(without prior warning) on June 2nd, almost a month later.
+
+The charging port worked. Sound
+worked. The screen wasn't flickering. I was happy for the brief moments that
+my computer was loading. As soon as I started vim, though, I noticed something
+was off: the fonts looked more pixelated. The DPI settings I'd painstakingly
+tweaked were wrong. Now that I thought about it, even the GRUB menu was
+larger. My suspicion growing, I booted into Windows, and looked at the display
+settings. Noticeably fewer resolutions were listed in the drop-down menu;
+worse, the highest resolution was 1080p. After almost a month of waiting,
+DELL replaced my 4k laptop display with a 1080p one.
+
+### System Replacement: Worse LCD Screen
+
+I admit, I was angry. At the same time, the absurdity of it all was also
+unbearable. Was this constant loop of hardware damage, the endless number of
+support calls filled with hoarse jazz music, part of some kind of Kafkaesque
+dream? I didn't know. I was at the end of my wits as to what to do. As a last
+resort, I made [a tweet](https://twitter.com/DanilaTheWalrus/status/1268056637383692289)
+from my almost-abandoned account. DELL Support's Twitter
+account [quickly responded](https://twitter.com/DellCares/status/1268064691416334344), eager as always to destroy any semblance of
+transparency by switching to private messages. I let them know my thoughts on the matter. I wanted a new machine.
+
+{{< figure src="dm_1.png" caption="The first real exchange between me and DELL support." >}}
+
+Of course we can proceed further. I wanted to know what kind of machine I was getting,
+though. As long as it was the same model that I originally bought,
+{{< sidenote "right" "replacement-note" "it would be better than what I have." >}}
+At least in principle, it would be. Perhaps the wear and tear on the replacement
+parts would be greater, but at least I would have, presumably, a machine
+in good condition that had the 4k screen that made me buy it in the first place.
+{{< /sidenote >}}
+Despite this, I knew that the machine I was getting was likely refurbished.
+This _had_ to mean that some of the parts would come from other, used, machines.
+This irked me, because, well, I payed for a new machine.
+
+{{< figure src="dm_2.png" caption="Ah, the classic use of canned responses." >}}
+
+Their use of the canned response, and their unwillingness to answer this simple
+question, was transparent. Indeed, the machine would be made of used
+parts. I still wanted to proceed. DELL requested that I sent an image of
+my machine which included its service tag, together with a piece of
+paper which included my name and email address. I obliged, and quickly got a response:
+
+{{< figure src="dm_3.png" caption="If it was me who was silent for 4 days, my request would've long been cancelled. " >}}
+
+Thanks, Kalpana. You will never hear this name again, not in this post.
+Only one or two messages from DELL support are ever from the same person.
+About a week later, I get the following beauty:
+
+{{< figure src="dm_4.png" caption="Excuse me? What's going on?" >}}
+
+My initial request was cancelled? Why wasn't I told? What was the reason?
+What the heck was going on at DELL Support? Should I be worried?
+My question of "Why" was answered with the apt response of "Yes",
+and a message meant to pacify me. While this was going on, I ordered
+a
+{{< sidenote "right" "pinebook-note" "Pinebook Pro." >}}
+The Pinebook – a $200 machine – has, thus far, worked more reliably than any DELL product
+I've had the misfortune of owning.
+{{< /sidenote >}} It was not a replacement for the DELL machine, but rather
+the first step towards migrating my setup to a stationary computer,
+and a small, lightweight SSH device. At this point,
+there was no more faith in DELL left in my mind.
+
+Soon, DELL required my attention, only to tell me that they put in
+a request to see that status of my request. How bureaucratic. Two
+more names -- Kareem and JKC -- flickered through the chats,
+also never to be seen again.
+
+{{< figure src="dm_5.png" caption="Not much of a conversation, really." >}}
+
+Finally, on July 9th (a month and six days after my first real message to DELL
+support), I was notified by my roommates that FedEx tried to deliver a package
+to our house, but gave up when no one came to sign for it. On one hand, this
+is great: FedEx didn't just leave my laptop on the porch. On the other hand,
+though, this was the first time I heard about receiving the machine. I got
+to the house the next day, unpacked the new computer, and tested all the things
+that had, at one point, failed. Everything seemed to work. I transfered all my
+files, wiped the old computer clean, and mailed it off. I also spent some
+time dealing with the fallout of DELL PremierColor starting on its own,
+and permanently altering the color profile of my display. I don't have the
+special, physical calibration device, and therefore still suspect that my
+screen is somewhat green.
+
+Today, I discovered that the microphone of the replacement machine didn't work.
+
+### Am I The Problem?
+When the mysterious FedEx package arrived at my door on July 9th, I did some
+digging to verify my suspicion that it was from DELL. I discovered their
+HQ in Lebanon, TN. This gave me an opportunity to
+{{< sidenote "right" "reviews-note" "see" >}}
+See, of course, modulo whatever bias arises when only those who feel strongly leave reviews.
+{{< /sidenote >}} whether or not I was alone in this situation. I was genuinely
+worried that I was suffering from the technical variant of
+[Munchausen Syndrome](https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/munchausen-syndrome#1),
+and that I was compulsively breaking my electronics. These worries were
+dispelled by the reviews on Google:
+
+{{< figure src="reviews_1.png" caption="Most of the reviews are pretty terse, but the ratings convey the general idea." >}}
+
+There were even some that were shockingly similar in terms of the apparent
+incompetence of the DELL technicians:
+
+{{< figure src="reviews_2.png" caption="Now, now, Maggie, I wouldn't go as far as recommending Apple." >}}
+
+So, this is not uncommon. This is how DELL deals with customers now. It's
+awfully tiring, really; I've been in and out of repairs continuously for
+almost half a year, now. That's 2.5% of my life at the time of writing,
+all non-stop since the D-key. And these people probably have spent considerable
+amounts of time, too.
+
+### It's About the Principle
+The microphone on my machine is rather inconsequential to me. I can, and regularly do,
+teleconference from my phone (a habit that I developed thanks to DELL, since
+my computer was so often unavailable). I don't need to dictate anything. Most
+of my communication is via chat.
+
+Really, compared to the other issues (keyboard, sound, charging, USB ports, the broken or low-resolution screen)
+the microphone is a benign problem. As I have now learned, things could be worse.
+
+But why should the thought, _"It could be worse"_, even cross my mind
+when dealing with such a matter? Virtually every issue that has
+occurred with my computer thus far could -- should! -- have been diagnosed
+at the repair center. The 'slow charger' warning shows up in BIOS,
+so just turning the computer on while plugged in should make it obvious something
+is wrong; doubly so when the very reason that the laptop was in repairs
+in the first place was because of the faulty charger. I refuse to believe
+that screens with different resolutions have the same part identifier,
+either. How have the standards of service from DELL fallen so low?
+How come this absurd scenario plays out not just for me, but
+for others as well? It would be comforting, in a way, to think
+that I was just the 'exceptional case'. But apparently, I'm not.
+This is standard practice.
+
+### Tl;DR
+Here are he problems I've had with DELL:
+
+* The machine shipped, apparently, with a missing piece of insulation.
+* The "D" key on the keyboard snapped after only a few months of use.
+* While repairing the "D" key, the DELL technician broke the computer's sound and microphone.
+* While repairing the sound and microphone, the DELL technicians broke a charging port.
+* The DELL technicians failed to repair the charging port, mailing me back a machine
+exhibiting the same issues, in addition to a broken LCD screen.
+* The repair of the LCD screen took almost a month, and concluded
+with me receiving a worse quality screen than I originally had.
+* The system replacement that followed the botched LCD repair took
+over a month to go through.
+* The replaced system was made partially of used parts, which
+DELL refused to admit.
+* The microphone on the replacement system was broken.
+
+### Closing Thoughts
+I will not be sending my system in again. It doesn't make sense to do so -
+after mailing my system in for repairs three times, I've measured empirically that
+the chance of failure is 100%. Every service request is a lottery, dutifully
+giving out a random prize of another broken part. I no longer wish to play;
+as any person who gambles should, I will quit while I'm ahead, and cut my losses.
+However, I hope for this story, which may be unusual in its level of detail,
+but not its content, to be seen by seen by someone. I hope to prevent
+someone out there from feeling the frustration, and anger, and peculiar amusement
+that I felt during this process. I hope for someone else to purchase a computer
+with money, and not with their sanity. A guy can hope.
+
+If you're reading this, please take this as a warning. __DELL is a horrible
+company. They have the lowest standards of customer support of any
+U.S. company that I've encountered. Their technicians are largely incompetent.
+Their quality assurance is non-existent. Stay away from them.__

-
-While tackling a project for work, I ran across a rather unpleasant problem.
-I don't think it's valuable to go into the specifics here (it's rather
-large and convoluted); however, the outcome of this experience led me to
-discover a very interesting technique for lazy functional languages,
-and I want to share what I learned.
-
-### Time Traveling
-Some time ago, I read [this post](https://kcsongor.github.io/time-travel-in-haskell-for-dummies/) by Csongor Kiss about time traveling in Haskell. It's
-really cool, and makes a lot of sense if you have wrapped your head around
-lazy evaluation. I'm going to present my take on it here, but please check out
-Csongor's original post if you are interested.
-
-Say that you have a list of integers, like `[3,2,6]`. Next, suppose that
-you want to find the maximum value in the list. You can implement such
-behavior quite simply with pattern matching:
-
-```Haskell
-myMax :: [Int] -> Int
-myMax [] = error "Being total sucks"
-myMax (x:xs) = max x $ myMax xs
-```
-
-You could even get fancy with a `fold`:
-
-```Haskell
-myMax :: [Int] -> Int
-myMax = foldr1 max
-```
-
-All is well, and this is rather elementary Haskell. But now let's look at
-something that Csongor calls the `repMax` problem:
-
-> Imagine you had a list, and you wanted to replace all the elements of the
-> list with the largest element, by only passing the list once.
-
-How can we possibly do this in one pass? First, we need to find the maximum
-element, and only then can we have something to replace the other numbers
-with! It turns out, though, that we can just expect to have the future
-value, and all will be well. Csongor provides the following example:
-
-```Haskell {linenos=table}
-repMax :: [Int] -> Int -> (Int, [Int])
-repMax [] rep = (rep, [])
-repMax [x] rep = (x, [rep])
-repMax (l : ls) rep = (m', rep : ls')
-  where (m, ls') = repMax ls rep
-        m' = max m l
-
-doRepMax :: [Int] -> [Int]
-doRepMax xs = xs'
-  where (largest, xs') = repMax xs largest
-```
-
-In the above snippet, `repMax` expects to receive the maximum value of
-its input list. At the same time, it also computes that maximum value,
-returning it and the newly created list. `doRepMax` is where the magic happens:
-the `where` clauses receives the maximum number from `repMax`, while at the
-same time using that maximum number to call `repMax`!
-
-This works because Haskell's evaluation model is, effectively,
-[lazy graph reduction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_reduction). That is,
-you can think of Haskell as manipulating your code as
-{{< sidenote "right" "tree-note" "a syntax tree," >}}
-Why is it called graph reduction, you may be wondering, if the runtime is
-manipulating syntax trees? To save on work, if a program refers to the
-same value twice, Haskell has both of those references point to the
-exact same graph. This violates the tree's property of having only one path
-from the root to any node, and makes our program a graph. Graphs that
-refer to themselves also violate the properties of a tree.
-{{< /sidenote >}} performing
-substitutions and simplifications as necessary until it reaches a final answer.
-What the lazy part means is that parts of the syntax tree that are not yet
-needed to compute the final answer can exist, unsimplied, in the tree. This is
-what allows us to write the code above: the graph of `repMax xs largest`
-effectively refers to itself. While traversing the list, it places references
-to itself in place of each of the elements, and thanks to laziness, these
-references are not evaluated.
-
-Let's try a more complicated example. How about instead of creating a new list,
-we return a `Map` containing the number of times each number occured, but only
-when those numbers were a factor of the maximum numbers. Our expected output
-will be:
-
-```
->>> countMaxFactors [1,3,3,9]
-
-fromList [(1, 1), (3, 2), (9, 1)]
-```

+```
+
+You could even get fancy with a `fold`:
+
+```Haskell

+myMax = foldr1 max
+```
+
+All is well, and this is rather elementary Haskell. But now let's look at
+something that Csongor calls the `repMax` problem:
+
+> Imagine you had a list, and you wanted to replace all the elements of the
+> list with the largest element, by only passing the list once.
+
+How can we possibly do this in one pass? First, we need to find the maximum
+element, and only then can we have something to replace the other numbers
+with! It turns out, though, that we can just expect to have the future
+value, and all will be well. Csongor provides the following example:
+
+```Haskell
+repMax :: [Int] -> Int -> (Int, [Int])
+repMax [] rep = (rep, [])
+repMax [x] rep = (x, [rep])
+repMax (l : ls) rep = (m', rep : ls')
+  where (m, ls') = repMax ls rep
+        m' = max m l
+```
+In this example, `repMax` takes the list of integers,
+each of which it must replace with their maximum element.
+It also takes __as an argument__ the maximum element,
+as if it had already been computed. It does, however,
+still compute the intermediate maximum element,
+in the form of `m'`. Otherwise, where would the future
+value even come from?
+
+Thus far, nothing too magical has happened. It's a little
+strange to expect the result of the computation to be
+given to us; it just looks like wishful
+thinking. The real magic happens in Csongor's `doRepMax`
+function:
+
+```Haskell
+doRepMax :: [Int] -> [Int]
+doRepMax xs = xs'
+  where (largest, xs') = repMax xs largest
+```
+
+Look, in particular, on the line with the `where` clause.
+We see that `repMax` returns the maximum element of the
+list, `largest`, and the resulting list `xs'` consisting
+only of `largest` repeated as many times as `xs` had elements.
+But what's curious is the call to `repMax` itself. It takes
+as input `xs`, the list we're supposed to process... and
+`largest`, the value that _it itself returns_.
+
+This works because Haskell's evaluation model is, effectively,
+[lazy graph reduction](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_reduction). That is,
+you can think of Haskell as manipulating your code as
+{{< sidenote "right" "tree-note" "a syntax tree," >}}
+Why is it called graph reduction, you may be wondering, if the runtime is
+manipulating syntax trees? To save on work, if a program refers to the
+same value twice, Haskell has both of those references point to the
+exact same graph. This violates the tree's property of having only one path
+from the root to any node, and makes our program a DAG (at least). Graph nodes that
+refer to themselves (which are also possible in the model) also violate the properties of a
+a DAG, and thus, in general, we are working with graphs.
+{{< /sidenote >}} performing
+substitutions and simplifications as necessary until it reaches a final answer.
+What the lazy part means is that parts of the syntax tree that are not yet
+needed to compute the final answer can exist, unsimplified, in the tree.
+Why don't we draw a few graphs to get familiar with the idea?
+
+### Visualizing Graphs and Their Reduction
+__A word of caution__: the steps presented below may significantly differ
+from the actual graph reduction algorithms used by modern compilers.
+In particular, this section draws a lot of ideas from Simon Peyton Jones' book,
+[_Implementing functional languages: a tutorial_](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/implementing-functional-languages-a-tutorial/).
+However, modern functional compilers (i.e. GHC) use a much more
+complicated abstract machine for evaluating graph-based code,
+based on -- from what I know -- the [spineless tagless G-machine](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/1992/04/spineless-tagless-gmachine.pdf).
+In short, this section, in order to build intuition, walks through how a functional program
+evaluated using graph reduction _may_ behave; the actual details
+depend on the compiler. 
+
+Let's start with something that doesn't have anything fancy. We can
+take a look at the graph of the expression:
+
+```Haskell
+length [1]
+```
+
+Stripping away Haskell's syntax sugar for lists, we can write this expression as:
+
+```Haskell
+length (1:[])
+```
+
+Then, recalling that `(:)`, or 'cons', is just a binary function, we rewrite:
+
+```Haskell
+length ((:) 1 [])
+```
+
+We're now ready to draw the graph; in this case, it's pretty much identical
+to the syntax tree of the last form of our expression:
+
+{{< figure src="length_1.png" caption="The initial graph of `length [1]`." class="small" >}}
+
+In this image, the `@` nodes represent function application. The
+root node is an application of the function `length` to the graph that
+represents the list `[1]`. The list itself is represented using two
+application nodes: `(:)` takes two arguments, the head and tail of the
+list, and function applications in Haskell are
+[curried](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currying). Eventually,
+in the process of evaluation, the body of `length` will be reached,
+and leave us with the following graph:
+
+{{< figure src="length_2.png" caption="The graph of `length [1]` after the body of `length` is expanded." class="small" >}}
+
+Conceptually, we only took one reduction step, and thus, we haven't yet gotten
+to evaluating the recursive call to `length`. Since `(+)`
+is also a binary function, `1+length xs` is represented in this
+new graph as two applications of `(+)`, first to `1`, and then
+to `length []`.
+
+But what is that box at the root? This box _used to be_ the root of the
+first graph, which was an application node. However, it is now a
+an _indirection_. Conceptually, reducing
+this indirection amounts to reducing the graph
+it points to. But why have we {{< sidenote "right" "altered-note" "altered the graph" >}}
+This is a key aspect of implementing functional languages.
+The language itself may be pure, while the runtime
+can be, and usually is, impure and stateful. After all,
+computers are impure and stateful, too!
+{{< /sidenote >}} in this manner? Because Haskell is a pure language,
+of course! If we know that a particular graph reduces to some value,
+there's no reason to reduce it again. However, as we will
+soon see, it may be _used_ again, so we want to preserve its value.
+Thus, when we're done reducing a graph, we replace its root node with
+an indirection that points to its result. 
+
+When can a graph be used more than once? Well, how about this:
+
+```Haskell
+let x = square 5 in x + x
+```
+
+Here, the initial graph looks as follows:
+
+{{< figure src="square_1.png" caption="The initial graph of `let x = square 5 in x + x`." class="small" >}}
+
+As you can see, this _is_ a graph, but not a tree! Since both
+variables `x` refer to the same expression, `square 5`, they
+are represented by the same subgraph. Then, when we evaluate `square 5`
+for the first time, and replace its root node with an indirection,
+we end up with the following:
+
+{{< figure src="square_2.png" caption="The graph of `let x = square 5 in x + x` after `square 5` is reduced." class="small" >}}
+
+There are two `25`s in the graph, and no more `square`s! We only
+had to evaluate `square 5` exactly once, even though `(+)`
+will use it twice (once for the left argument, and once for the right).
+
+Our graphs can also include cycles.
+A simple, perhaps _the most_ simple example of this in practice is Haskell's
+`fix` function. It computes a function's fixed point,
+{{< sidenote "right" "fixpoint-note" "and can be used to write recursive functions." >}}
+In fact, in the lambda calculus, <code>fix</code> is pretty much <em>the only</em>
+way to write recursive functions. In the untyped lambda calculus, it can
+be written as: $$\lambda f . (\lambda x . f (x \ x)) \  (\lambda x . f (x \ x))$$
+In the simply typed lambda calculus, it cannot be written in any way, and
+needs to be added as an extension, typically written as \(\textbf{fix}\).
+{{< /sidenote >}}
+It's implemented as follows:
+
+```Haskell
+fix f = let x = f x in x
+```
+
+See how the definition of `x` refers to itself? This is what
+it looks like in graph form:
+
+{{< figure src="fixpoint_1.png" caption="The initial graph of `let x = f x in x`." class="tiny" >}}
+
+I think it's useful to take a look at how this graph is processed. Let's
+pick `f = (1:)`. That is, `f` is a function that takes a list,
+and prepends `1` to it. Then, after constructing the graph of `f x`,
+we end up with the following:
+
+{{< figure src="fixpoint_2.png" caption="The graph of `fix (1:)` after it's been reduced." class="small" >}}
+
+We see the body of `f`, which is the application of `(:)` first to the
+constant `1`, and then to `f`'s argument (`x`, in this case). As
+before, once we evaluated `f x`, we replaced the application with
+an indirection; in the image, this indirection is the top box. But the
+argument, `x`, is itself an indirection which points to the root of `f x`,
+thereby creating a cycle in our graph. Traversing this graph looks like
+traversing an infinite list of `1`s.
+
+Almost there! A node can refer to itself, and, when evaluated, it
+is replaced with its own value. Thus, a node can effectively reference
+its own value! The last piece of the puzzle is how a node can access
+_parts_ of its own value: recall that `doRepMax` calls `repMax`
+with only `largest`, while `repMax` returns `(largest, xs')`.
+I have to admit, I don't know the internals of GHC, but I suspect
+this is done by translating the code into something like:
+
+```Haskell
+doRepMax :: [Int] -> [Int]
+doRepMax xs = snd t
+  where t = repMax xs (fst t)
+```
+
+#### Detailed Example: Reducing `doRepMax`
+
+If the above examples haven't elucidated how `doRepMax` works,
+stick around in this section and we will go through it step-by-step.
+This is a rather long and detailed example, so feel free to skip
+this section to read more about actually using time traveling.
+
+If you're sticking around, why don't we watch how the graph of `doRepMax [1, 2]` unfolds.
+This example will be more complex than the ones we've seen
+so far; to avoid overwhelming ourselves with notation,
+let's adopt a different convention of writing functions. Instead
+of using application nodes `@`, let's draw an application of a
+function `f` to arguments `x1` through `xn` as a subgraph with root `f`
+and children `x`s. The below figure demonstrates what I mean:
+
+{{< figure src="notation.png" caption="The new visual notation used in this section." class="small" >}}
+
+Now, let's write the initial graph for `doRepMax [1,2]`:
+
+{{< figure src="repmax_1.png" caption="The initial graph of `doRepMax [1,2]`." class="small" >}}
+
+Other than our new notation, there's nothing too surprising here.
+The first step of our hypothetical reduction would replace the application of `doRepMax` with its
+body, and create our graph's first cycle. At a high level, all we want is the second element of the tuple
+returned by `repMax`, which contains the output list. To get
+the tuple, we apply `repMax` to the list `[1,2]` and the first element
+of its result. The list `[1,2]` itself
+consists of two uses of the `(:)` function.
+
+{{< figure src="repmax_2.png" caption="The first step of reducing `doRepMax [1,2]`." class="small" >}}
+
+Next, we would also expand the body of `repMax`. In
+the following diagram, to avoid drawing a noisy amount of
+crossing lines, I marked the application of `fst` with
+a star, and replaced the two edges to `fst` with
+edges to similar looking stars. This is merely
+a visual trick; an edge leading to a little star is
+actually an edge leading to `fst`. Take a look:
+
+{{< figure src="repmax_3.png" caption="The second step of reducing `doRepMax [1,2]`." class="medium" >}}
+
+Since `(,)` is a constructor, let's say that it doesn't
+need to be evaluated, and that its
+{{< sidenote "right" "normal-note" "graph cannot be reduced further" >}}
+A graph that can't be reduced further is said to be in <em>normal form</em>,
+by the way.
+{{< /sidenote >}} (in practice, other things like
+packing may occur here, but they are irrelevant to us).
+If `(,)` can't be reduced, we can move on to evaluating `snd`. Given a pair, `snd`
+simply returns the second element, which in our
+case is the subgraph starting at `(:)`. We
+thus replace the application of `snd` with an
+indirection to this subgraph. This leaves us
+with the following:
+
+{{< figure src="repmax_4.png" caption="The third step of reducing `doRepMax [1,2]`." class="medium" >}}
+
+Since it's becoming hard to keep track of what part of the graph
+is actually being evaluated, I marked the former root of `doRepMax [1,2]` with
+a blue star. If our original expression occured at the top level,
+the graph reduction would probably stop here.  After all,
+we're evaluating our graphs using call-by-need, and there
+doesn't seem to be a need for knowing the what the arguments of `(:)` are.
+However, stopping at `(:)` wouldn't be very interesting,
+and we wouldn't learn much from doing so. So instead, let's assume
+that _something_ is trying to read the elements of our list;
+perhaps we are trying to print this list to the screen in GHCi.
+
+In this case, our mysterious external force starts unpacking and
+inspecting the arguments to `(:)`. The first argument to `(:)` is
+the list's head, which is the subgraph starting with the starred application
+of `fst`. We evaluate it in a similar manner to `snd`. That is,
+we replace this `fst` with an indirection to the first element
+of the argument tuple, which happens to be the subgraph starting with `max`:
+
+{{< figure src="repmax_5.png" caption="The fourth step of reducing `doRepMax [1,2]`." class="medium" >}}
+
+Phew! Next, we need to evaluate the body of `max`. Let's make one more
+simplification here: rather than substitututing `max` for its body
+here, let's just reason about what evaluating `max` would entail.
+We would need to evaluate its two arguments, compare them,
+and return the larger one. The argument `1` can't be reduced
+any more (it's just a number!), but the second argument,
+a call to `fst`, needs to be processed. To do so, we need to
+evaluate the call to `repMax`. We thus replace `repMax`
+with its body:
+
+{{< figure src="repmax_6.png" caption="The fifth step of reducing `doRepMax [1,2]`." class="medium" >}}
+
+We've reached one of the base cases here, and there
+are no more calls to `max` or `repMax`. The whole reason
+we're here is to evaluate the call to `fst` that's one
+of the arguments to `max`. Given this graph, doing so is easy.
+We can clearly see that `2` is the first element of the tuple
+returned by `repMax [2]`. We thus replace `fst` with
+an indirection to this node:
+
+{{< figure src="repmax_7.png" caption="The sixth step of reducing `doRepMax [1,2]`." class="medium" >}}
+
+This concludes our task of evaluating the arguments to `max`.
+Comparing them, we see that `2` is greater than `1`, and thus,
+we replace `max` with an indirection to `2`:
+
+{{< figure src="repmax_8.png" caption="The seventh step of reducing `doRepMax [1,2]`." class="medium" >}}
+
+The node that we starred in our graph is now an indirection (the
+one that used to be the call to `fst`) which points to
+another indirection (formerly the call to `max`), which
+points to `2`. Thus, any edge pointing to a star now
+points to the value 2. 
+
+By finding the value of the starred node, we have found the first
+argument of `(:)`, and returned it to our mysterious external force.
+If we were printing to GHCi, the number `2` would appear on the screen
+right about now. The force then moves on to the second argument of `(:)`,
+which is the call to `snd`. This `snd` is applied to an instance of `(,)`, which
+can't be reduced any further. Thus, all we have to do is take the second
+element of the tuple, and replace `snd` with an indirection to it:
+
+{{< figure src="repmax_9.png" caption="The eighth step of reducing `doRepMax [1,2]`." class="medium" >}}
+
+The second element of the tuple was a call to `(:)`, and that's what the mysterious
+force is processing now. Just like it did before, it starts by looking at the
+first argument of this list, which is the list's head. This argument is a reference to
+the starred node, which, as we've established, eventually points to `2`.
+Another `2` pops up on the console.
+
+Finally, the mysterious force reaches the second argument of the `(:)`,
+which is the empty list. The empty list also cannot be evaluated any
+further, so that's what the mysterious force receives. Just like that,
+there's nothing left to print to the console. The mysterious force ceases.
+After removing the unused nodes, we are left with the following graph:
+
+{{< figure src="repmax_10.png" caption="The result of reducing `doRepMax [1,2]`." class="small" >}}
+
+As we would have expected, two `2`s were printed to the console, and our
+final graph represents the list `[2,2]`.
+
+### Using Time Traveling
+Is time tarveling even useful? I would argue yes, especially
+in cases where Haskell's purity can make certain things
+difficult.
+
+As a first example, Csongor provides an assembler that works
+in a single pass. The challenge in this case is to resolve
+jumps to code segments occuring _after_ the jump itself;
+in essence, the address of the target code segment needs to be
+known before the segment itself is processed. Csongor's
+code uses the [Tardis monad](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/tardis-0.4.1.0/docs/Control-Monad-Tardis.html),
+which combines regular state, to which you can write and then
+later read from, and future state, from which you can
+read values before your write them. Check out
+[his complete example](https://kcsongor.github.io/time-travel-in-haskell-for-dummies/#a-single-pass-assembler-an-example) here.
+
+Alternatively, here's an example from my research, which my
+coworker and coauthor Kai helped me formulate. I'll be fairly
+vague, since all of this is still in progress. The gist is that
+we have some kind of data structure (say, a list or a tree),
+and we want to associate with each element in this data
+structure a 'score' of how useful it is. There are many possible
+heuristics of picking 'scores'; a very simple one is 
+to make it inversely propertional to the number of times
+an element occurs. To be more concrete, suppose
+we have some element type `Element`:
+
+{{< codelines "Haskell" "time-traveling/ValueScore.hs" 5 6 >}}
+
+Suppose also that our data structure is a binary tree:
+
+{{< codelines "Haskell" "time-traveling/ValueScore.hs" 14 16 >}}
+
+We then want to transform an input `ElementTree`, such as:
+
+```Haskell
+Node A (Node A Empty Empty) Empty
+```
+
+Into a scored tree, like:
+
+```Haskell
+Node (A,0.5) (Node (A,0.5) Empty Empty) Empty
+```
+
+Since `A` occured twice, its score is `1/2 = 0.5`. 
+
+Let's define some utility functions before we get to the
+meat of the implementation:
+
+{{< codelines "Haskell" "time-traveling/ValueScore.hs" 8 12 >}}
+
+The `addElement` function simply increments the counter for a particular
+element in the map, adding the number `1` if it doesn't exist. The `getScore`
+function computes the score of a particular element, defaulting to `1.0` if
+it's not found in the map.
+
+Just as before -- noticing that passing around the future values is getting awfully
+bothersome -- we write our scoring function as though we have
+a 'future value'.
+
+{{< codelines "Haskell" "time-traveling/ValueScore.hs" 18 24 >}}
+
+The actual `doAssignScores` function is pretty much identical to
+`doRepMax`:
+
+{{< codelines "Haskell" "time-traveling/ValueScore.hs" 26 28 >}}
+
+There's quite a bit of repetition here, especially in the handling
+of future values - all of our functions now accept an extra
+future argument, and return a work-in-progress future value.
+This is what the `Tardis` monad, and its corresponding
+`TardisT` monad transformer, aim to address. Just like the
+`State` monad helps us avoid writing plumbing code for
+forward-traveling values, `Tardis` helps us do the same
+for backward-traveling ones.
+
+#### Cycles in Monadic Bind
+
+We've seen that we're able to write code like the following:
+
+```Haskell
+(a, b) = f a c
+```
+
+That is, we were able to write function calls that referenced
+their own return values. What if we try doing this inside
+a `do` block? Say, for example, we want to sprinkle some time
+traveling into our program, but don't want to add a whole new
+transformer into our monad stack. We could write code as follows:
+
+```Haskell
+do
+    (a, b) <- f a c
+    return b
+```
+
+Unfortunately, this doesn't work. However, it's entirely
+possible to enable this using the `RecursiveDo` language
+extension:
+
+```Haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE RecursiveDo #-}
+```
+
+Then, we can write the above as follows:
+
+```Haskell
+do
+    rec (a, b) <- f a c
+    return b
+``` 
+
+This power, however, comes at a price. It's not as straightforward
+to build graphs from recursive monadic computations; in fact,
+it's not possible in general. The translation of the above
+code uses `MonadFix`. A monad that satisfies `MonadFix` has
+an operation `mfix`, which is the monadic version of the `fix`
+function we saw earlier:
+
+```Haskell
+mfix :: Monad m => (a -> m a) -> m a
+-- Regular fix, for comparison
+fix :: (a -> a) -> a
+```
+
+To really understand how the translation works, check out the
+[paper on recursive do notation](http://leventerkok.github.io/papers/recdo.pdf).
+
+### Beware The Strictness
+Though Csongor points out other problems with the
+time traveling approach, I think he doesn't mention
+an important idea: you have to be _very_ careful about introducing
+strictness into your programs when running time-traveling code.
+For example, suppose we wanted to write a function,
+`takeUntilMax`, which would return the input list,
+cut off after the first occurence of the maximum number.
+Following the same strategy, we come up with:
+
+{{< codelines "Haskell" "time-traveling/TakeMax.hs" 1 12 >}}
+
+In short, if we encounter our maximum number, we just return
+a list of that maximum number, since we do not want to recurse
+further. On the other hand, if we encounter a number that's
+_not_ the maximum, we continue our recursion.
+
+Unfortunately, this doesn't work; our program never terminates.
+You may be thinking:
+
+> Well, obviously this doesn't work! We didn't actually
+compute the maximum number properly, since we stopped
+recursing too early. We need to traverse the whole list,
+and not just the part before the maximum number.
+
+To address this, we can reformulate our `takeUntilMax`
+function as follows:
+
+{{< codelines "Haskell" "time-traveling/TakeMax.hs" 14 21 >}}
+
+Now we definitely compute the maximum correctly! Alas,
+this doesn't work either. The issue lies on lines 5 and 18,
+more specifically in the comparison `x == m`. Here, we 
+are trying to base the decision of what branch to take
+on a future value. This is simply impossible; to compute
+the value, we need to know the value!
+
+This is no 'silly mistake', either! In complicated programs
+that use time traveling, strictness lurks behind every corner.
+In my research work, I was at one point inserting a data structure into
+a set; however, deep in the structure was a data type containing
+a 'future' value, and using the default `Eq` instance!
+Adding the data structure to a set ended up invoking `(==)` (or perhaps
+some function from the `Ord` typeclass),
+which, in turn, tried to compare the lazily evaluated values.
+My code therefore didn't terminate, much like `takeUntilMax`.
+
+Debugging time traveling code is, in general,
+a pain. This is especially true since future values don't look any different
+from regular values. You can see it in the type signatures
+of `repMax` and `takeUntilMax`: the maximum number is just an `Int`!
+And yet, trying to see what its value is will kill the entire program.
+As always, remember Brian W. Kernighan's wise words:
+
+> Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
+Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are,
+by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
+
+### Conclusion
+This is about it! In a way, time traveling can make code performing
+certain operations more expressive. Furthermore, even if it's not groundbreaking,
+thinking about time traveling is a good exercise to get familiar
+with lazy evaluation in general. I hope you found this useful!
