The point of sore or milk in hot cream. Any
Such matters. Boil for twenty minutes then
Whip made it properly and crumb of many
Cooks. Bake the public. Make the point. For men
To english cooks to swell them stew the skin
At once in every week we doubt the soles
Among the custard cut into a tin
Which sprinkle over each half pints of holes
And ham into a delicate digestion
And finish cooking. See page. Lemonade

How to Talk to Developers

Obey Law of Demeter

• Reduces coupling
• Enables refactoring

Throw something weird at people to keep their attention. Bored people don't learn anything, so focus on entertainment over being informative.

Jim Weirich:

This is how I explain it… Ruby has Procs and Lambdas. Procs are created with Proc.new { }, lambdas are created with lambda {} and ->() {}.

In Ruby 1.8, proc {} creates lambda, and Ruby 1.9 it creates procs (don't ask).

Lambdas use method semantics when handling parameters, procs use assignment semantics when handling parameters.

This means lambdas, like methods, will raise an ArgumentError when called with fewer arguments than they were defined with. Procs will simply assign nil to variables for arguments that were not passed in.

I want to write software that helps kill people.

Please, before you call the police and get my github account put on lockdown, allow me a moment to explain. What I really want to do is work on projects that advance the human condition and improve people's lives. I've been in a mad dash to learn how to program for the past four or five years exactly because I realized how much good I could do for the world with a computer.
