Haha here in CDMX I live a few blocks from Tepito and you can't walk in on a busy day without someone trying to sell you weed or coke. I personally stick to my drug of choice: pambazos. I don't even want to quit.

I do a lot of code puzzles and code golf which gives me a motivation to learn some obscurer language features. But for professional software development, it's more important to learn the concepts that the language's syntax is en

You are the second person to reference quicksort in Haskell in this thread. The other person even mentioned it not being true quicksort. Who knew quicksort in Haskell was such a beloved piece of code!

To me it's removing lines of code without affecting readability (or even improving it). Like when you don't know about a language feature so you implement a hacky version, then find out there's already a very elegant standard

Oh my God, his Lisp interpreter in Python: amazing. At the time I was just getting a grip with Python and starting in Lisp, it came at just the right moment in my autodidaction. Really really good, although for a lot of people here it might

My first language was QBASIC and much of the first code I read (other than modifying PHP scripts I didn't really understand) was from Pete's QB Site. I'd hardly call it beautiful, but definitely nostalgic and cool.

Deleting code is a beautiful feeling. Python's new walrus operator has gotten a lot of hate recently, but a few days ago I was writing a script and realized I could get rid of a few lines (AND have my meaning be clearer) using the walr

What about the code did you find so striking? Any part in particular you recommend checking out?

I occasionally ask and answer questions on StackOverflow, but I find the 'old system' of forums, mailing lists, and chat (now it's Slack sometimes instead of IRC) to be making a minor resurgence. Recently when a question abou

Thanks! Your personal site ( https://mdub.dev/ ) is gorgeous, by the way! But there's a small bug: When I try to click the first post (Github OAuth 2 in Go) nothing happens. All the others work. Edit: Actually, I noticed

If you are interested in a typed Lisp experience, I highly recommend Typed Racket :) https://docs.racket-lang.org/ts-guide/

I use Racket to create programming languages, however I am considering getting into Clojure for web development. Racket's web development ecosystem is actually pretty great, I'm just curious about Clojure's. Might someone who

You're welcome! I'm enjoying the site quite a bit, it's gorgeous. I don't think the GitHub for the project is updated but from now on when I notice things I'll raise them as issues there :)

The only evidence I've seen to counter this (very common) critique is the disturbing practice of 'chadfishing'. If you make a profile and put a picture of a hot guy, you will be flooded with female interest. Make a profile wi

Saying someone shouldn't be a babysitter is a long way from saying they should still be in prison, or even from saying they're unhireable. Different jobs require different kinds and degrees of trust - it isn't that black and

I think he's suggesting they went to prison and were released, and he'd like to be able to access someone's criminal record before hiring them as a babysitter.

The advantage is similar to that of a large gym chain - you can pay more to get a membership that's valid at all the WeWorks in the entire world. This is great for people who regularly travel between many large cities.

I did the same in Racket when I made a Tor search engine. Here's the source code of the crawler! https://github.com/torgle/torgle/blob/master/backend/torgle....
