Deep Funk

been a yuge fan since she was "discovered" by Zero7!

That makes you Dracula. I would need neck armour and a wooden stake. Sorry, just being cautious. Also add garlic and a revolver that shoots silver bullets for good measure.

And a chastity belt.

He's already getting screwed by his current bosses

At least you get coffee. You know, so you don't get angry.

Anti-Dust allergy pills that suppress the symptoms. Alcohol is for cleaning wounds, sedation and informal relaxation after long days of doing my job...

Never had allergies, but it must suck. Get some fresh air or something.

I was talking more along the lines of whisky & wine (EDIT: the relaxation part, but I'm sure you knew that) either way, feel better!

Jokes on you, I’m almost halfway through Tuesday.

Thanks, you guys made me laugh. I had to hold back though. I was in the train back home and I would have laughed the whole train compartment into "what drugs is he on?" mode.

Enjoy your coffee while you can. Afibbers and oldsters must settle for a rousing old decaf green tea, with only an occasional decaf coffee.

A fake smile is more like a requirement if you work in the hospitality industry.

In NL the fake smile is not as important as in the U.S. The key is to always come across as friendly and charming. So when you visit NL, you might be surprised...

Nvm :x :D

I always liked Burger King, but haven't been there in at least a decade. I always liked Wendy's too (spicy chicken in particular), but when I went back last year it was a huge disappointment.

So many commands to learn, I swear, I have to google the commands every time I use git

Then this should blow your mind: https://wiki.haskell.org/Prime_numbers

Mind that Haskell is lazy, it doesn't evaluate anything until the answer's needed.

(for the different algo's)

My house mate is a Haskell and R fanatic. He swears by them. I figured out how to do this in Python 3 with simple rules but you have to be very exact.

After years of OO, learning FP via Haskell was quite a mind-bender for me. I like the "pureness" of it, it forces you to adopt an FP mindset.

Also the syntax is pretty nice. Reads like a mathematical function. There are better places to learn about Monads though.

My school maths teacher listed his hobbies as "group theory and red wine".

Oh and banging the attractive English teacher half his age, of course. Forgot that one

Have you tried Project Euler? It's a fun way to learn through computational problems

BTW, Humble Bundle has a Python book package that might interest you

Project Euler is next. First I need to finish the Python 3 tutorial by Guido van Rossem. Best way to get used to the PEP standards...

Well, you seem to have a good idea of what's important.

I'm getting close to 40 years of practice in abstraction. Let me know if I can help.

I have programmed some PIC microcontroller in C. Was quite interesting, but too basic to really get into how C works. Going to try C++ and Java, might be useful.

Most of the server-side systems were written in either Java (now, maybe, a JVM-based language) or C#. Many apps are Python-based, including my favorite editor (Sublime).

C is great for just about anything, but there are lots of snares & traps to watch out for. Best kept for low-level or time-critical stuff.

Agreed. Thing is we are paying the provider since December and still we are waiting. This is getting absurd...

then stop paying, that might get some attention!

We are getting to that point. This situation is becoming absurd.

Up next, infinite jest

42. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Have a crack at "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" next, it's plotted like a bejewelled 16th century orrery.
