Tracking my programming and life learning
I am working on a way to express my ideas succinctly and one of the ways is trying to reduce the words you write while keeping the idea. I can go to a web site or get an application to count my words. But with many apps and sites recording your keys and saving your […]
Read More How to count words in your textI was watching The Grand Unified Theory talk by Jim Weirich yesterday and was inspired to do a simple checksum on Python. Here follows the use: add_check_digit(‘2352366246’) # => ‘23523662461’ check(‘23523662461’) # => True check(‘23523662467’) # => False Here is the implementation: def add_check_digit(digits): check_digit = ((10 – check_sum(digits)) % 10) return digits + str(check_digit) […]
Read More A simple checksumThese are 3 steps I got into refactoring a method: First I created the method with a While loop def roll(self, n): count = 0 self._values = list() while count < n: self._values.append(random.randint(1, 6)) count += 1 return self._values Then I did a more pythonic code with a For loop def roll(self, roll_number): self._values = […]
Read More 3 ways of doing the same thing in PythonI came back to Python once again and to start I used a magnificent tool that I used on the past. Koans! This was inspired on Ruby Koans built by Jim Weirich which by himself was a great mind with all sorts of contributions to the Ruby community. This is the former lesson and I […]

I can say that was pretty impressed by the latter and former. To this day my favorite one is Debian and the reason I installed Xubuntu on my laptop is because it saved me some time configuring […]
