Congratulations to him. Being good at math is quite lucrative these days, so I hope he continues on this path.

To those complaining about her azz being too small, I think there is value in a nicely-shaped, firm azz. Pretty behinds come in all shapes and sizes...bigger is not necessarily better wink

Nope. Latino is for male, Latina is for women.


Anyway, she has a nice azz. It is only human to look at it.

Politics / How Africa's New Urban Centers Are Shifting Its Old Colonial Boundaries by ektbear: 9:41pm On Jul 01, 2013
A great, but long read: http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/07/how-africas-new-urban-centers-are-shifting-its-old-colonial-boundaries/277425/?single_page=true

Most of the article focuses on Lagos State and Fashola, but there is a lot of other interesting material in it.

Programming / Re: Type Inference by ektbear: 9:30pm On Jun 27, 2013
Yeah I just don't have a lot of motivation to do the programming exercises...I'd much rather just do project euler problems. I watched the videos mainly to understand then language from the author's perspective.

Btw, it looks like these notes (http://www.scala-lang.org/docu/files/ScalaByExample.pdf) overlap 95%+ with the video lectures he did.
Programming / Re: Type Inference by ektbear: 11:03am On Jun 27, 2013
Python has a version of streams called generators.

Ruby has one called enumerators (see here: http://www.michaelharrison.ws/weblog/?p=163).
Programming / Re: Type Inference by ektbear: 10:17am On Jun 27, 2013
Streams are cool. I have a much nicer implementation of the Sieve of Eratosthenes using them.

Let us join hands and say NO to the following evils that plague humanity:

1. Racism
2. Sexism
3. Feminism

Together, we can make the world a better place.

Really interesting approach Scala takes to immutable vectors. Log(n) access time.
Programming / Re: Type Inference by ektbear: 12:34am On Jun 26, 2013
I use IPython a lot. But imo this worksheet is way better.

I am also not a fan of IDEs, but it seems the folks at my future job all use 'em for Scala development.

Regarding the FP course, I've watched up to week 5 right now (finishing the last video). I'm not doing any of the exercises though, just solving the problems he mentions during the lecture.

FP is kind of cool, but I'm not sure how efficient immutable data structures really are. For one of the project euler problems I did, I think the mutable hash map ran a lot faster than the immutable one.
