Awia posted:ive not noticed this at all http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/feb/28/nigel-farage-ukip-immigration-speech quote:Asked at his press conference to justify the comments, Farage cited a recent experience on a rush-hour train leaving Charing Cross. "It was a stopper going out and we stopped at London Bridge, New Cross, Hither Green, it was not until we got past Grove Park that I could hear English being audibly spoken in the carriage," he said. "Does that make me feel slightly awkward? Yes it does."

so disney so thoroughly failed to respond to my aggressive attempts to give them money that i got talked out of buying a ticket in the mean time. i like to think this is a punishingly-small dose of karma for them laying off that support staff.

When I was at App Academy, I occasionally told students to learn a bit of lambda calculus, and they immediately understood it: they pretty much instantly figured out how to define linked lists in the lambda calculus, which I didn’t understand for ages after it was first explained to me. They were able to understand this so quickly because they’d gotten really really good at dealing with manipulating the abstractions which are useful in programming: in this case, it turns out that building complex UIs in Javascript gives you a great intuition for lambda calculus.
