Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed REAMDE. If I can recommend the following: Just finishing up Bullshit Jobs which is fantastic. If you can, check out Personal Best, a CBC podcast. Caliphate add Uncover NXIVM are also great. I follow Ryan Holiday who has a monthly email blast of recommended reading, always something worth picking up from his list. He wrote Conspiracy, which is about the Thiel/Hogan/Gawker debacle and is next on my list.

You know it's funny, sticking to the rigid format and problem solving are natural to me. The hardest part as a new developer, for me, is still thinking of everything individually and not having a sixth sense about what the method parameter I might need could be called. I spend so much time just trying to figure out the name of something I know exists but can't for the life of me guess.

What about using an additional set of self-reflection questions like:
- Do you think your instructor will be satisfied with this work?
- Are you satisfied with your work?
- What problems did you encounter while doing this work? Are there additional resources or strategies you could use to solve these problems in the future?

If you're into the whole Zombie thing at all, the Zombie Fallout books by Mark Tufo are a riot. Very funny books about an ex-marine germaphobe going through the zombie apocalypse.

Agreed! Which is why I have trouble thinking about these kind of things. The fact that an 8 hadn't rolled in 71 rolls does not mean it was any more likely to appear on roll 72. And yet probability theory tells us that 72 rolls without an 8 is less probable that 71 rolls without an 8. Is that solely because we had one more opportunity where an 8 *could* have been thrown?

If we were to talk about a single die, the independence of throws means (imo) that the sequence of rolls 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6 is no more interesting statistically than 2, 3, 2, 4, 5, 1. Am I right?

This reminds me of a friend who would 'block out numbers' in keno games. He believed that by looking at the previously picked numbers, he would be able to better predict what numbers were likely to show up in the next draw.
The problem with my friend's reasoning was that the keno draw, (and your dice rolls) operate with no memory. The odds of rolling an 8 do not increase with each unsuccessful roll. Each roll has the same odds of an 8 appearing.
Stating that an 8 should appear every 7.2 rolls, while correct, is based on an infinite number of rolls.

This summer someone posted flyers all over my neighbourhood. The kind you might post for a lost pet. Except each one of them bore the lyrics for a Bob Marley song. I just realized I forgot to take a picture, but what a little piece of magic to find on an early morning run.

I've yet to read Bluebeard, but it's on my "to read" shelf in the basement. I went on a Vonnegut binge around 2000. So it goes.

As for pentominos, I feel like they have something to tell us about human intuition vs. machine intelligence.

I remember playing with pentominos after reading Clarke back in high school! I think Galapagos and Bluebeard are late-era Vonnegut classics, perhaps not appreciated as they should be.
