@RobertHarvey when you hear me or FP folk talking about "monad" or "monoid" or "functor" etc, just understand it to refer to an interface. That's all it is, in .NET the "list monad" is implemented on IEnumerable. They're like duck typed interfaces: If you have an object that follows these laws (read: mathematical laws are synonymous with unit tests) then you have an object that complies with those interfaces and can be used in such a way

@Ampt at least it didn't steal her baby.

@Ampt Watch the aussie street fight video and take note of the vehicle in the foreground.

for example:

the null coalesce operator is a monoid over the set of objects - the identity element is null, monoidal interfaces are useful for fallback/defaulting/optional values:
GetCityByZip(zip) ?? GetCityByLatLon(latLon) ?? GetDefaultCity()

List concatenation is a monoid over the set of lists, the empty list is the identity element:
GetCitiesByZip(zip).Concat(GetCitiesByLatLon(latLon)).Concat(GetDefaultCity())

Addition is a monoid over the set of numbers, zero is the identity:
GetCostOf(sandwichName) + GetCostOf(drinkName) + GetCostOf(cookieName)
I say they're interfaces and show the examples because you can with those examples see what I mean: You can work with all of those monoids in such consistent similar ways of chaining them together like that, and the functions have a consistent "I don't know" result (identity element)
monads the same, as you noticed of linq the description of the interface of a monad was obvious to you that it described linq, but the same description is an obvious one for other monadic interfaces, jquery for instance

@jimmyhoffa all I'm getting from this is that that stupid bank was apparently a monad

Q: Database Normalisation - stuck with "categories"

CallMePhilipContext: I'm working on a database of museums and Categories will be one way the user will be able to search. e.g click on "Music" and a list of music related museums turn up. Pretty simple. Problem: I'm stuck and confused on the Normalisation process of the "Categories" table... categories_P...

If the user gets +2 more on the question, he will be able to get into chat (which might be a good thing for talking through normalization).

There are times I wish we had some more community ads... then I see things like this and go 'you know...'

Tip for remembering all those API/library calls? Drink (but not too heavily).

@MichaelT if light drinking is associated with better memory, I'll presume heavy drinking is associated with awesome memory. Assuming anything else would just be depressing :o

Careful: publishing pictures without consent from the pictured people (or, if they're minors: consent from their parents) violates their privacy rights in some jurisdictions. Even if it isn't illegal where you live, it's a pretty dickish thing to do. — amon 2 hours ago

@amon recalling days of people I knew in college and trick-or-treating, I could certainly imagine automated uploads leading to images that were... well, lets just say they would be taken down. And its the person that took the picture and uploaded it that would get in the most trouble.
