Anyone know a common name for a function that lifts only one side (only the codomain) of another function into a functor/monad/effect?

Something like

Monad m => (a -> b) -> a -> m b

Feels like this transformation comes up often when using asynchronous frameworks. It "lifts" a synchronous function into an `async` function.

Perhaps it doesn't need a name, since it's maybe just the composition

liftM f . return

hey! do you know things? do you wanna learn things? (i hope the answer to both those things is yes)

the other day, I offered on here that i would be happy to teach folks some basic web and terminal stuff. other people picked up the idea, also saying they'd be happy to teach!

so, because i have too much free time and not enough enrichment in my enclosure, it's a simple website now.

introducing fediLearns: https://fedilearns.fyi (edited name and domain)

want to be involved? send me some real basic info (fedi handle, what you want to share, title for your listing, category) and i'll put it on the site! and of course, share the site, either via this post or your own. I'm using the #fediSkillshares hashtag :)

edit: use #fediLearns ! turns out skillshare is an actual real company that I totally forgot about so I've adjusted a smidge. plus we have an actual domain now so I'm matching the domain :)

My hope is that what defines the next era of tech is looking to the past and deciding what was good enough and embracing it

Next step: community-owned renewables.

Weirdly enough, when you suggest that the community should actually have part-ownership of a solar or wind farm, benefitting from the profits, suddenly you have a lot more community support for such projects.

Prediction.
A decade from now, low-Earth orbit will be inaccessible after Starlink (now bankrupt) precipitates a massive #Kessler catastrophe. Years/generations will pass before new launches to #space are possible.
No #Moon missions; no #Mars missions.
#Musk's name is cursed (even more...).
