Windows defender reports "Exploit:HTML/IframeRef.R!MTB" on this page, it's the first time I've seen it report anything.

The book is really well researched, it includes 5 pages of selected bibliography. I doubt the author wrote about a scientist coining a word and then recalled said word from memory. There's no misspelling of the word "Entscheidungsproblem" which occurs like 80 times. It just stuck out to me, maybe the source material was already wrong, maybe he was trying to be funny or nerd snipe someone, it's a mystery.

The Annotated Turing is probably my favorite technical and historical book, there's nothing else like it. But I'll never forgive the utterly strange typo in it:

"In a famous 1907 paper on relativity, Hilbert's friend Hermann Minkowski would coin the word Zaumreit or spacetime."

Zaumreit literally translates to "bridle riding" and is probably a play on words, Raumzeit means spacetime. This has puzzled me for over a decade now. How does this even happen?

A large portion of products we buy in second hand stores are children's toys and clothing. The prices of new toys are insane, we leave a second hand store about once a month with a large bag of stuffed toys, board games, worn in shoes, skates etc. for the cost of a single new item. Kids don't care at all and mine refuses to wear new shoes even.

I'm guessing somewhere along the lines of /r/learnjavascript or /r/learnpython. The browser is the lowest barrier REPL/Interpreter installed on any modern computer and it's possible to make somethig analogous to GORILLAS.BAS with MDN, an HTML5 canvas and a few lines of JS.

They should get whatever they ask for. There isn't a workday where I don't think to myself Man, we'd be so screwed if curl didn't exist. It runs more business than Excel. If there ever was a Log4j style CVE in curl I'd just become a fisherman or a blacksmith.

I use it for building various tools and Ansible plugins in operations. Mainly requests for talking to REST APIs, json for json, aiohttp and asyncio for parallelism, pyparsing for parsing, argparse for sane CLIs. Python is installed everywhere and most people understand it enough to clone a repo, edit what needs changing and ./go in a pinch.

Not in the EU. I pay for a lot of nonrecurring things via money transfer and I need a TAN for every online transaction. Before mobile apps they would occasionally mail me a list of like 50 of them [1] but that's not a thing anymore. Every online credit card transaction has to be confirmed in the banking app as well.

European versions have this rule [1]. I wasn't aware that the US version allowed adjacent ship placement until I bought a commercial version for my kid last Christmas and started looking into strategies.

I have my doubts. If I need to implement say Dijkstra's in Haskell and pick up a random algorithms book then it's not going to help me at all. If I then ask a hundred programmers how they would do it I'd get a hundred wildly different answers. From my point of view algorithms and data structures in functional languages are not very well understood or explained due to their stateful nature. If functional programming was the most popular paradigm I'd expect a lot more literature on this topic.

Monads and Functors aren't particularly exciting in Python because properties or contexts can be expressed with e.g. boolean flags and properties or contexts can be ignored when applying functions to unrelated parts of an object.

  # milk_cows :: Person -> Tired Person
  def milk_cows(person):
    ...
    person["tired"] = True
    return person

  # feed_pigs :: Person -> Tired Person
  def feed_pigs(person):
    ...
    person["tired"] = True
    return person

  # birthday :: Person -> Person
  def birthday(person):
    person["age"] += 1
    return person

  # willy :: Person
  willy = {"age": 32, "tired": False}

  # fmap and >>=
  print(milk_cows(birthday(feed_pigs(willy))))

This is hilarious, Kinedryl is a brand of medicine for motion sickness (Kinetosis) in Eastern Europe.
