Ashwin Purohit: A Review of Pimsleur German I, II, III, IV
http://www.puroh.it/a-review-of-pimsleur-german-i-ii-iii-iv
A review of Pimsleur German I, II, III, and IV. I had trouble finding a review of Pimsleur’s German course by someone with linguistics familiarity, so for my upcoming trip. I listened to all 100 30-minute lessons (50 hours), which took about two months (one lesson a day). The Pimsleur method is: you repeat a native speaker’s spoken sentences, and practice by answering questions posed to you. A typical 30-second section will go like this:. English narrator (E): The word for post office in German is:.

Ashwin Purohit: The Benefits of "No"
http://www.puroh.it/the-benefits-of-no
The Benefits of “No”. Ldquo;No” is the most liberating thing you can say. It prunes your tree of decisions, and purifies your thoughts. It directs your efforts, through absence. Some things I can say “no” to easily. “No” to a street hawker, “no” with lifted eyebrows to a misbehaving dog or child, to a pimp selling a girl for the night (a question I’ve been asked an unreasonable number of times), or to covering a friend while he graffitis a wall. The psychologist Meg Jay speaks of capital in. What break t...

Ashwin Purohit: Turducken Code
http://www.puroh.it/turducken-code
I recently came across this line of Python code:. Shipping = TextField(u’First Name’, label=’ a href=“ [email protected]. Rdquo; onClick=“helpDialog();” Help /a ’, validators=…). Tag in a Python string. Javascript in HTML stuffed into Python. The abominable “Turducken Code.”. Did you add JavaScript to. Instead of in a cacheable. Did you inline some CSS for a button, instead of abstracting it into a cacheable. String Template = “ html …“. In your backend code, and in it, inlined your JavaScript.

Ashwin Purohit: Just Upgrade
http://www.ashwinpurohit.com/just-upgrade
Are you choosing between upgrading your package now, or upgrading later? Do it this instant. Later becomes never. Stop thinking about if 2.5 to 2.6 is worth the time. Just upgrade. I know, you have to pay a price right now. It’s non-trivial. You have to scour the release notes, and write a script that touches every one of your source files. I know you have. Don’t sentence your peers to compounded misery. That 2.5 to 2.6 upgrade you were going to do, but. Wasn’t worth the time. Want updates when I write?

Ashwin Purohit: Speeding Up Vim
http://www.ashwinpurohit.com/speeding-up-vim
I recently found myself with an. Vim startup time. No doubt due to plugins, since vim itself is quick, but it was horrifying and gave me Emacs flashbacks. Since 7.3, Vim has a profiler; let’s write its startup times to a log file, and open it:. Vim - startuptime s.log s.log. We should try to get rid of lines with the highest elapsed times, in column two. Starting from the first line with a time,. Sort -n -r -k 2. The longest function is only 66ms. Now vim starts instantly. I lead engineering at Recursion.

Ashwin Purohit: A Time in Taiwan
http://www.ashwinpurohit.com/taiwan
A Time in Taiwan. Taiwan taught me nothing I couldn’t have learned elsewhere. But it did take a place so foreign. When I entered the Orient, it wasn’t as if some path to zen unravelled before my eyes. I didn’t come away with a distinct opinion of people I saw, nor a reformed one of those I left behind; my conceptions, if anything, are only more muddied than when I started. I learned what is time well-spent and what is time wasted; for a while I’d debated whether the difference was real and if it wo...
