I don't understand how this "Single Instruction Multiple Data" stuff works A: I interviewed the great Raph Levien on this subject! It's available [on Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0WcCUKxk50), [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/episode/2ppJWIjCVzcMdhnuygWLyn), and presumably other podcast apps as well! ##### Q: Who should I be trying to emulate? A: Anyone on my list of [[cool-people]] would be an excellent choice. ##### Q: What should I be trying to emulate? A: [Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_Trick:_Phantom_Detective) for NDS. If you have an Android phone, [DraStic](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsemu.drastic&hl=en_US&gl=US&pli=1) is the emulator of choice. If you have an iPhone, the game is actually available on the app store. It is also available on steam ##### Q: I have a predicate that is monotonic over a range. How can I find the greatest value in the range for which the predicate is false or the lowest value in the range for which the predicate is true? A: This is the general case of binary search, and [[my-new-rust-binary-search]] contains a rust implementation that will do what you need ##### Q: How do side effects work in Haskell?

A: [Limitations breed strength](whats-wrong-with-a-for-loop). Also, if you haven't played with recursion schemes, you haven't seen anything yet.
