"Grokked the last chapter of part 1: Functions as values. Key concepts
- Pass a function as parameter
- Return a function from another function
- Currying (the name comes from Haskell Curry)
- foldLeft
- Product type/case class to model data
I wish I could get these lessons before landing on my job. The examples are perfect for beginners, and also for me who jumped into production code w/o practicing these foundation." — Jan 29, 2025 09:22PM

So it would appear my life is confined to the period separating the Ogino method from the age of cheap condom dispensers. It’s one way of measuring it, possibly the most reliable one of all.


“অদ্ভুত আঁধা� এক এসেছ� �-পৃথিবীতে আজ,
যারা অন্ধ সবচেয়ে বেশি আজ চোখে দেখে তারা;
যাদে� হৃদয়� কোনো প্রে� নেই—প্রীতি নেই—করুণা� আলোড়� নে�
পৃথিবী অচ� আজ তাদে� সুপরামর্� ছাড়া�
যাদে� গভী� আস্থ� আছ� আজ� মানুষে� প্রত�
এখনো যাদে� কাছে স্বাভাবি� �'লে মন� হয়
মহ� সত্য বা রীতি, কিংব� শিল্� অথবা সাধন�
শকুন � শেয়ালে� খাদ্� আজ তাদে� হৃদয়�
A strange darkness has come upon the world today.
They who are most blind now see,
Those whose hearts lack love, lack warmth, lack pity's stirrings,
Without their fine advice, the world today dare not make a move.
They who yet possess an abiding faith in man,
To whom still now high truths or age-old customs,
Or industry or austere effort all seem natural,
Their hearts are victuals for the vulture and the jackal.
Translated by: Clinton B. Seely”

“Doesn't look like much, does he?" murmurs Fredrick. "Hardly a couple of ounces of feathers and bones. But that bird can fly to Africa and back. Powered by bugs and worms and desire.”

“Adri's heart has time to break many times as she crouches down to get a better look at the child. Adri has seen war, she's seen suffering, but you never get used to it. You never know what to say to a four-year-old who hurts and thinks that's normal, because life has never shown her anything else.”
