Interesting thing of the day!
I’ve been working through the book Natural Language Processing with Python and I came across an extremely interesting fact: Names ending with the letter ‘a’ are female 38.3 times more often than male. Likewise, names ending with the letter ‘k’ are male 31.4 times more often than female.
MoreC# Musings…
I had a few ideas for C# constructs, so I thought I might as well write them down. Perhaps, some day, someone can tell me why these don’t exist… Making Generics More Generic Several times I’ve been frustrated by the fact that Func<TResult> has a bunch of variants.
