Quote reblogged from kung fu grippeTilting your seat back on an airplane is pure evil. But so is installing seats that recline in the first place.
Reclining airplane seats are a terrible idea and should be banned. - Slate Magazine [via]

So, for a bit, I kept messing up nested list comprehensions when I tried to use them. Since I’m usually writing in Python to Get All The Things Done, my usual response is, “Oh, I should figure out what I’m doing wrong sometime, but I’ll just do a
whileloop or usereduceor whatever for now.”But the other day, I happened on a nice concrete example that clarified things for me, so I figured, maybe I should link it, and share another such example.
