If you have already taken a course in algorithms, why read Grokking Algorithms (manning.com/bhargava)?

If you were learning graph algorithms, which approach would you prefer:

1. Imagine you have to take public transit from your home to your office. How do you figure out the fastest route? Use graph algorithms! OR

2. We can choose between two standard ways to represent a graph G = (V, E): as a collection of adjacency lists or as an adjacency matrix. Either way applies to both directed and undirected graphs.

I prefer the first way: lead with lots of examples, and clear writing. The second way is an excerpt from "Introduction to Algorithms"...that's how they start their section on graph algorithms.

When converting from a smart pointer type to a borrowed reference, you need to 'cross-borrow' data. This requires writing &*expr or &**expr, etc. This is usually just annoying - it doesn't help to read or write the code. When writing, you play 'type Tetris', inserting *s until the compiler is happy. When reading it is just line noise. At best, if you are passing a value to a function, it tells you that you are passing a borrowed reference, not owned data. Alternatively, that you are passing by reference, not value.

So, we would like to spare the programmer this burden. The question is how. There have been a few proposals (rust-lang/rfcs#226, rust-lang/rfcs#241, rust-lang/rfcs#248). A central question when evaluating these proposals is whether the programmer should care first about the borrowed-ness of data or about the amount of indirection to the user. I am starting to lean more towards the position of making ownership/borrowing s

Install a new Ruby with rbenv on Mac OS (and make yourself a superhero)

If you're doing stuff with Ruby on a Mac, e.g. installling Jekyll or something, by default you'll end up having to use the sudo command to do stuff, since the permission to modify the default config is not available to your user account.

This sucks and should be avoided. Here's how to fix that.

Installing a new Ruby

To make this better, we are going install a new, custom Ruby. This used to be a big, scary thing, but thanks to the awesome tools Homebrew and rbenv, it's a snap.*

A word of warning: you will have to use Terminal to install this stuff. If you are uncomfortable with text, words, and doing stuff with your computer beyond pointing and hoping, this may not work well for you. But if that's the case, I'm not sure why you were trying to use Ruby in the first place.
