Hah, I had to try this out to believe it. You can do `foo d: {:y => 2}` or `foo :d => {:y => 2}` but not a raw hash literal without parens. That's parse.y[1] for you... [1]: https://github.com/ruby/ruby&#x

I tutored Haskell to first-year students and I think the hardest part of picking it up is understanding that previous expertise won't help until you grok the distinctly new perspective with which you must approach problems. I'm (s

I moved to Norway to work as a Software Developer; ego-less technical discussion is _incredibly_ refreshing. Elsewhere, even when people all have what they think is the product's best interests at heart, too many times have I seen comp

Small nitpick: What you are talking about is not sampling bias, it is something else. You are alluding to how confidence in the presented results may be significantly lowered due to a high variance - associated with small sample sizes (it i
