Yey, @Sonic_Pi is at the top of HN again.

I'm bracing myself for the comments. So far there's a couple of people wishing the docs were better?!?! And the standard person wishing it was written in the snake language.

Nobody is mentioning the badass Erlang in there! ;-)

Well this appears to be the first time I got plagiarized. The Western Australia newspaper took tons of exact quotes from my podcast and lied that it was from an interview the journalist did. Every quote in this article is from my podcast.

Repeat after me: Don’t collect data you don’t need, Don’t collect data you don’t need, Don’t collect data you don’t need, Don’t collect data you don’t need, Don’t collect data you don’t need, Don’t collect data you don’t need, Don’t collect data you don’t need

#python tip: list.remove() deletes the first match and then shifts all subsequent data one position to the left. In a loop, that gives quadratic behavior:

There's a better way to remove all matches:

data[:] = [elem for elem in data if elem != target]

Our intelligence helps us regulate our emotions. Fear, for example, is based on mistrust and a lack of self-confidence. If, on the other hand, we remain honest and truthful, open and tolerant, we will have greater self-confidence and overcome fear.
