How to get better at recursion

from Notes on software development [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
tldr; reimplement standard library functions in your favorite language without loops. Background For a few years after college I spent a lot of free time doing projects in Standard ML and Scheme. As a result I got really comfortable doing recursion. The two big reasons for this...

over a year ago
I get these.. urges sometimes. Not like Dexter no, but sometimes I just have to buy a specific thing. It happened again yesterday (or was it the day before I don’t know) when I saw this post on hackernews. It’s a book this time, again, but this is something a little different -...

Github scam investigation: Thousands of "mods" and "cracks" stealing your data

Suggestion time: What should I blog about?

from Posts on Made of Bugs [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
I haven’t been feeling very motivated to blog lately – I’ve missed the last two weeks of Iron Blogger, and I’m not totally enthusiastic about any of the items on my “to blog” list. But, I do enjoy blogging when I actually get into posts, and I’d like to keep updating this blog....

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
