FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

A Very Simple Genetic Algorithm Written in Swift 3
#!/usr/bin/env xcrun swift -O
/*
gen.swift is a direct port of cfdrake's helloevolve.py from Python 2.7 to Swift 3
-------------------- https://gist.github.com/cfdrake/973505 ---------------------
gen.swift implements a genetic algorithm that starts with a base
population of randomly generated strings, iterates over a certain number of
generations while implementing 'natural selection', and prints out the most fit
string.
The parameters of the simulation can be changed by modifying one of the many

Automation for the People

Long ago, the first time I read "The Pragmatic Programmer", I read some advice that really stuck with me.

"Don't Use Manual Procedures".

This in the chapter on Ubiquitous Automation. To summarize, they want you to automate all the things.

A quick guide to write a very very simple "ECHO" style module to redis and load it. It's not really useful of course, but the idea is to illustrate how little boilerplate it takes.

Step 1: open your favorite editor and write/paste the following code in a file called module.c

#include "redismodule.h"
/* ECHO <string> - Echo back a string sent from the client */
int EchoCommand(RedisModuleCtx *ctx, RedisModuleString **argv, int argc) {
