The BBC is a good outlet, but their big blindspot is that it's pro-establishment. Now, when your government isn't a flaming pile of dogshit, this is less egregious of a bias than in the rare contemporary time when your President,

If your data should not be successfully folded if it's empty, you should've already parsed it as an Optional nonEmptyList instead of letting illegal states fly around for a while in your application.

For loops are not easier or more convenient than fold. fold sum 0 collection versus acc = 0 for x in collection: acc = acc + x or the even worse int acc = 0; for(int x = 0; x < collection.length; ++x

I think that'd raise serious copyright concerns, if the Wayback machine started selling other people's intellectual property.

Anytime I read anything about this guy, Automattic, or Wordpress, I—a Tumblr user—get the nervous sweats about my beloved shayla.

Yeah, mini split ACs are so superior to American-style central air. I installed them into a couple rooms and removed the central air ductwork from the attic there. Thinking about doing it with the other rooms. Less power usage, every room g

To add to this, it's so nice. Sit on a stool in the middle of the room and rinse, soap up, scrub to exfoliate, rinse, then roll the lid of the bath open and soak in a sub much deeper than an American one. Bath is programmable to mainta
