If I have more ideas on them, I might turn them into projects.</p> <h3>Sudden idea on the Lisp-like operating system</h3> <p>Emacs is an example!</p> <h3>Help me choose licenses</h3> <p>I am currently unable to decide what license should I choose for my programs and other works. I used to use the GNU General Public License. Then I realized that (1) the GPL causes compatibility problems with those who wish to use another [free] license (who do exist) and (2) the GPL restricts on what a user can do with a work. I'm thinking of what freedom actually means&mdash;there are freedoms to do things and freedoms from being the object of some other person doing something. Does software which you can't distribute in any form you wish count as free software? I think so. However, as <a href="https://unixsheikh.com/articles/the-problems-with-the-gpl.html">https://unixsheikh.com/articles/the-problems-with-the-gpl.html</a> explains, the GPL is based on coercing people into sharing, but coercion not effective in any field to make people actually share. This is understandable. I might start using the GPL again for my programs (might even be the AGPL). However, you might wanna convince me (if you have good arguments on this) to use a license for my documents and books&mdash;I put them into the public domain, and I think that's okay. Please mail me if you have any thoughts on this. But sad examples: Minix was permissively licensed, got abused by Intel. The BSD stuff was permissively licensed, got abused by Apple.</p> <h3>What about a pure functional Lisp dialect, with monads and similar (Haskell) ideas?</h3> <p>I love s-expressions, as they clearly represent the structure of a program, or even natural language. They also allow for powerful macros, enabling some Lisp dialects to have continuations and other cool stuff. Haskell, on the other hand, is purely functional, where things that involve side effects are usually implemented with Monads. I'm looking for an implementation that combines these.</p> <h3>What about a mathematical political system?</h3> <p>A government too strong causes authoritarianism which may lead to non-democracies, while a government too weak causes the inability of the government to do anything with the slightest controversy (look at COVID handling). Is there a mathematical way (say a function; this sounds like group theory, but I'm not sure) to compute, based all known information known about the bill/order/whatever being considered, if the government (I'm especially talking about the executive here) has the right to order that? I feel like this could be proved impossible due to incompleteness and unpredictability, but this needs further investigation.</p> </div> <div id="me"> <h2>About me</h2> <p>I am Andrew Yu, a secondary school student in Shanghai, China.

Do you agree that max-width: 75ex makes sense? I do that since people have a hard time scanning scross lines. Also, I now use a sans font because some people have trouble reading monospace. I prefer the Airbus B612Mono and B612 fonts, but I respect your preference by just saying font-family: sans-serif. If you read this on a plain text browser like me, this won't matter, of course. I'm also looking for a high-contrast colorful stylesheet. As you can see, I did use some flexboxes in here. They don't seem to respect min-width and max-width properly, especially min-wdith.
