Many in itty-bitty Paint Creek, with its 259 registered voters, are proud and protective of Mr. Perry, the ardent Eagle Scout and scrappy athlete dubbed “most popular” and “Future Homemakers of America Beau” by his class of 13.

This is chapter 1 in a series of blog posts about recursion schemes. This series uses Scala, and will focus on usage and applicability. It will be scarce in theory, and abundant in examples. The theory is valuable and fascinating, but I often find that knowing the theory alone is only half understanding. The other half... |

This is NOT an April Fools joke!
Quite frankly I’m shocked that I’ve made it to day 60 of this project and only now selected a Dark Star. That seems almost criminal.

At first it’s hard to notice, but a drive through northern California’s Sonoma Valley, past waves of green, manicured vineyards, makes it clear.

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder and I couldn’t agree more, especially when it comes to food. As a kid, I was surrounded by Vietnamese food all the time, unfortunately, much to my disdain. “This doesn’t look like mac n’ cheese!” “Why can’t we just order pizza like everyone else?” I took every opportuni... |
