As someone who has literally lived in AirBnB apartments for a bit over a year now, these situations tend to work out well for me. Most of my stays have been with people who manage a number of apartments on AirBnB to make their living, wheth

I think that, like, um, when you... when you write things like, uh, you know, fantasy novels or, uhhh.. things that are literature, that you should probably ignore this advice. On the other hand, if you're writing nonfiction, with the

Iterate was what I was looking for! That version is definitely better, even if you have to DIY take-until. I, er, may have spent a while clicking around the related docs for loop and recur searching for a better function. I remembered there

Sort of, but as long as all drones (in this airspace) are automated, it's still an easier problem than self-driving cars. Just detecting where a road is is a feat, and then throw in other traffic, and then say that traffic is driven by

Heh, I remembered the project too, I was just reminded of the blurry text by the blurry text. If you find a high contrast hard on the eyes you could drop it a bit by just making the lettering a lighter grey in leiu of the drop shadow. Just

I definitely remember complaining about this exact thing a year ago :P. At least you toned down the shadow a bit.

The problem with "Pythonic" is that it's poorly-defined. There seems to be a consensus on some things, and a wide disagreement on others. You're welcome to your opinion, but I don't think it's productive to wie

It will if you recursively define it: from collections import defaultdict def dd(): return defaultdict(dd) d = dd() d['a']['b']['c'] # => defaultdict(dd, {}) d['a']['b&#

This is common in Canada (from experience) and probably the US (from watching American TV).

This sounded real familiar, so I went and dug up the last one of these I heard of. The ZPM Nocturn was supposed to be a $400 espresso machine that used a fancy thermoblock instead of a boiler to save costs (cheap espresso machines use therm

I've not experienced it personally, but I'm told that French grammar gets pretty gnarly after you get past the simpler stuff.

The other relevant metric is the distribution of speakers. Most of the speakers of Chinese live in China, but English is a significantly common language in 67 countries by Wikipedia's admittedly questionable estimation: http:/&#x

I am no linguist, but (I will forgive you if you stop reading right here) it seems to me that from its many linguistic influences, English has gained a relatively simple grammar (if a tragic orthography) in relation to other European langua

In my limited experience, this is mostly true of Spanish, and nearly for Polish as well (although the latter has a few sneaky digraphs and some regular exceptions). I'm also told that this is true of German.

I'm no expert, but I have the impression that F# has a strong type system, being an ML variant (perhaps sacrificing a bit for CLR compatibility). I'm a big fan of Clojure and a dabbler in OCaml/Haskell, and I feel that F# has

I've never used ClojureCLR personally, but its wiki on github claims to track the main Clojure project within weeks, and the last commit was 2 days ago. There seems to exist a version 1.6.0. That said, I bet the tooling isn't so n

Definitely my impression as well. I was downright expecting a reference to someone's Mr. Baseball cap in there.

The Enlive scraping/templating library for Clojure can be used in a pretty novel way to generate templates. I guess it's a bit like transforming XML with XSLT, except without the need for an intermediary language (in favor of a DS

by adambard 12y ago
I have several apps that use Enlive for templating. It's an awesome library, but reading HTML, parsing it out, and producing the templates at compile-time seems to add a very notable chunk to the startup. Better at compile-time than ru

Perhaps, but some people have built pretty amazing abstractions in Clojure. I just found this tutorial, and was quite impressed: https://github.com/krisc/events/blob/master/tutorial.md

Something I've noticed about Clojure code is that people tend to have taken the effort to express a problem in a concise and logical way, even for very complex problems. I'm not sure if it's just because Clojure attracts peop
