A complete guide that thoroughly explores everything from the philosophy of the pure functional language Haskell to the true nature of the notoriously difficult "Monad". We explain the isolation of side effects, Functors, Applicatives, and the beauty of the abstract world woven by Monads.
ARPANET is the direct origin of the modern internet. From the birth of packet switching technology, the development of IMP, the historic 1969 communication, and its evolution into TCP/IP, we delve deeply into the history of the internet's genesis with thousands of words of detailed explanation.
The "Ship of Theseus" is a philosophical paradox from ancient Greece. Is a ship whose parts have all been replaced still the same ship? We delve into what self-identity truly is.
Five workers are on the tracks ahead of a runaway trolley, and one is on a side track. Do you pull the lever? From Philippa Foot's classic thought experiment to the AI ethics of self-driving cars, this article delves deeply into the clash between utilitarianism and deontology posed by the "Trolley Problem" and the mechanisms of human moral decision-making over thousands of words.
At the end of 1999, the world fell into a panic over the "Y2K Bug" 2000 problem. Was it just media hype? No, there was an epic debugging drama of programmers who fought day and night with code to prevent a global system collapse. We close in on the truth of that time.

Metcalfe's Law states that 'the value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of users.' We delve deeply into the essence of network effects, the secret to the growth of SNS and platform businesses, the history of the law, its mathematical background, and its applications and limitations in modern business.
Dunbar's number states that humans can only maintain stable relationships with up to 150 people. In this article, we take a deep dive into the biological basis of this principle proposed by evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar, its implications for relationships in the era of social media, and its applications to organizational design when companies scale.
