i had no idea about free diving until i read the OP. Natalia, the subject, who was one of the handful of world elites, and had been for many years, had a couple of years before (2013) descended to a depth of 418 feet, and ascended back to t

"Scala for the Impatient" by Cay Horstmann; awesome resource to learn Scala because the author relies heavily on Scala REPL and the supporting text is full of clear succinct summaries of fundamental scala concepts

this looks really interesting love the where blocks and the data declarations (remind me of scala's case classes) and the "progressive" type annotation (which mimics the way i use cython + python) (less appealing, and thi
