More wisdom from 'Scala for the impatient': 'Laziness is not cost-free'

@acw Are you seriously an APL programmer? Because if so that is amazing.

Mes pauvres bras rouges. Je prends un douloureux coup de soleil aujord'hui. :flushed:

@Lezarius *hugs*. C'est tout normal d'être peur.

I also saw this adorable lil snek (aka teeny danger noodle).

Witches! My hike was amazing - I saw this amazing ruin that used to be a mill!

Going hiking with a good friend today, very excited to be getting outside after a long winter.

Just started reading Scala for the Impatient, came across this gem: "Scala allows you to define operators, leaving it up to you to use this feature with restraint and good taste"

@spiderrobotpig Actually, I am trying to learn Japanese right now - do you have suggestions for good resources?

@spiderrobotpig Caveat: Not a francophone. 'du' is 'de le'. You never use 'de le' because 'du' exists. 'de' is kind of (not really, this is lies) like 'of', so when I say 'Je mange du pain', I am saying, 'I eat of the bread'. Why do I stick an article and a preposition in there when I don't in English? It is just an idiom. I don't say 'je mange pain' for the same reason I don't (generally) say 'I eat of the bread'. It just sounds weird. Hope that helps! Good luck learning French :relaxed:

@Azyclar Lobbyists. No seriously, there are people out there who lobby to keep the American tax system absurdly, painfully complicated, so that you will have to pay for some kind of help. Also, people who want you to hate taxes and the government. http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-mh-these-taxprep-companies-lobby-hard-to-keep-tax-day-a-torture-for-you-20150414-column.html

@NuitsDeChine Trois années en l'immersion française. Je encore souviens un peu.

@Ewakhine Merci!

Everyone is talking to me! And they all seem like such nice people! What is this feeling? Is it...joy? :heart_eyes:
