"Collapse" book notes

"Lactational amenorrhea": temporary infertility after birthing when breast      
feeding                                                                         


Cooperatives ("Co-ops")
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A coop is a social and educational institution as well as a mutual employer.

A coop should not restrict the rights of it's employees any more than a regular
"citizen". Eg, contracts should have no non-compete provisions, no restrictions
on employee's activities and behavior outside of work, no muzzling effect on
blogging, etc.

Some Tech Coops:

Julia (programming)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

reload("MyModule"); M = MyModule()

then do, eg, M.myfunc(). Don't need to export stuff.

*do* need to symlink the project dir into ~/.julia

there is a way to recreate a new top-level "Main" module: workspace()

the workspace() function in combination with include() kind of works


Programming Language Design

Interesting accessible background:

Recursive Make and Variables...

If using recursive make, it's good to review the rules about environment
variables, passing, exporting, etc:
