Haskell. Here's another way to do it in the same language, using function composition and point-free style.

map (chr . (+32)) [45, 69, 82, 82, 89, 0, 35, 72, 89, 73, 83, 84, 77, 65, 83, 1]

Regarding whether you should learn a programming language, which can depend on how large the company is you're building and how busy that keeps you, if you're still at point 0 with an idea and little progress, learning to program can really help.

It also makes finding a programming cofounder easier because fewer programmers probably want to work on the cheap with a piece of a company that may never work out, but they will be willing to work with a fellow programmer as a cofounder on ideas that interest them both.

That's a weird sentiment to hold, that less expressive languages should be used to spark interest. If I were learning a first programming language again, I would want to learn a language that let me get going as quickly as possible. It takes a lot more to build something in C than in Python and Python can much more quickly prove to a person learning their first language that programming is worthwhile.

I also started Gödel, Escher, Bach. Have yet to finish the preface.

Discover Meteor: a book for the Meteorjs framework. Good book if you want to learn the framework.

I read a lot of fiction I guess. Now I am reading American Gods, and before that, Dune. Before Dune I read the 2 released books of The Kingkiller Chronicle.

In my experience, my macbook pro MAC address can be changed with the bash command listed in the file for wifi (sudo ifconfig en1 ether [addr]), but it will not let me change it to any arbitrary address I want, just some of them, including addresses that start with aa:[rest], ab:[rest], etc., which is what I usually go for. Just tested it and en0 doesn't seem to have the same limitations.

Now that I've had time to check out the update in depth, I can say that this update actually affects my project in a huge way. It'll require refactoring probably around 500 of lines of code because of the elimination of {{#isolate}, {{#constant}} and preserve-inputs, and the new template.rendered functionality.

An inefficient business model that continues to thrive due to outdated laws. And that most consumers hate.

The government should seek consumer input on this.

I'm completely unsurprised that Arizona and Texas, supposed bastions of capitalism, oppose a better form of business.
