No comment about the paper itself, but note that the first author is Alexander Ioannidis, not the John Ioannidis of Covid infamy.
Re:Overthinking Fizzbuzz with Monoids on Thursday September 14, 2017 @05:31AM (#15246258)
Translation to Python:

    for i in range(100):
      print((("fizz" if i % 3 == 0 else "") +
             ("buzz" if i % 5 == 0 else ""))
             or str(i))
The "+" makes it a monoid.

Re:Ask HN: I'm looking for a Spotify software engineer to speak to on Monday March 23, 2015 @12:46AM (#9249534)
I noticed this too. It works if you map to the `Media_*` keys, e.g.

    F6::Media_Prev
    F7::Media_Play_Pause
    F8::Media_Next

Re:Ask HN: Have you remapped the Caps Lock key? [Poll] on Friday December 27, 2013 @03:59AM (#6969982)
On my laptop, I remapped it to be the left click button, and it changed my life. I used to find dragging windows and files around and selecting text such a pain with a touchpad, but with this remapping, I can do it really, really easily. I just use my left hand to click and my right hand to move the cursor. Try it!

Anyone know how I can remap the Caps Lock key this way on a Mac?
