The "article" is my TIL mini-blog. What were you expecting besides a "today I learned"?
- kstrauser 1y agoI already knew this information, more or less, but I like reading TIL posts like this. It's fun seeing the someone learn new things, and sometimes I pick up something myself, or at least look at it in a new way.
- cap11235 1y agoYeah, don't listen to parent. I like these sorts of articles a lot; its only useless if you assume that everyone interested has also memorized the Python docs fully (which I imagine is zero people). Fun technical tangents are quite fun indeed.
- zahlman 1y agoWhat is "yossarian", BTW? I'd gotten confused thinking it was someone else's blog, because I naturally parse that as a surname.
- woodruffw 1y agoJohn Yossarian is the protagonist of Joseph Heller’s Catch-22[1], which was my favorite book in high school. Like a lot of people, my handle is a slightly embarrassing memorialization of my younger self :-) [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22
