  I think we all wish laws and licenses and contracts and legal things were straightforward. Unfortunately, our society seems to be getting worse in this regard. Ignoring it will not make it go away.

• singpolyma commented on Announce: a library providing a version of IO, which is cured from exceptions at Reddit, saying

  A library to wrap the standard IO actions unexceptionally is something I've considered also.

  There shouldn't be any other kinds of pseudo-exceptions that "should not be caught" since any other exception type is thrown on purpose. If you don't want to handle it at the call site, use ExceptT

  Having watched your videos, you clearly "get it" when it comes to some of the issues the eternal copyright term extensions and DRM bring to our world, and especially the Internet. Have you considered fixing that for your own content by intentionally putting a libre license on things that have been out for a long time?

  Given that RYF means "endorsed by FSF" then of course you can't use terms or anything else they dislike. That's how you get advertising endorsements in any case, by submitting to the will of the endorser.

  Correct. Unless you can make some sort of legal argument why you are not required to abide by the term of the copyright holder, you either cannot use their work at all, or must abide by their terms (which would include licensing your work as CC-BY-SA or one of the compatible licenses, such as ArtLibre).

  The video itself is a strict safety guide so it cannot really be remixed or transformed.

  Anything can be remixed. For example, a translation is a remix that seems likely to be useful in such a case.

  looking at a function signature you do not know if an exception can be thrown

  Which is, in practise, the case in GHC. Sure, it's all well and good to say "IO can always throw an exception", but in practise you do not expect this of many IO actions.

• singpolyma commented on Question about CC. at Reddit, saying

  While you may choose to do this of course (it's your work, you may choose whatever you wish) — I would suggest looking into the SA clause and copyleft generally. This is a much bigger ask than just "a small attribution" and both much more beneficial to society and tends to discourage the sort of big-money corporate exploitation you probably fear most.

• singpolyma commented on Exceptions Best Practices at Reddit, saying

  For a while I put syncIO from the errors package everywhere

  Yeah. If you want to be extra paranoid then syncIO from https://hackage.haskell.org/package/unexceptionalio-0.2.0/docs/UnexceptionalIO.html is your friend. Forces you to never forget it anywhere. Then handle anything reasonable at the call site and propagate anything that needs to be with a differentiated type.

  People like to hate on the typed exceptions in Java, but the issue there is the lack of type inference really.

  None of this will help you with async exceptions or programmer errors, but those need to be handled in a different way anyway.
