Array languages for Clojurians
As a lisp, Clojure of course qualifies as one such mind-altering substance. (It arguably qualifies again on the basis of its focus on immutability.) But Blazeski’s article points out that array-based languages such as J, its predecessor APL ("A Programming Language"), and the proprietary q are equally mind-expanding. Let’s see what was – and remains – so compelling about the array programming approach to problems, and compare it to Clojure’s approach.
One operator to do both is pretty handy. We can of course replicate each with out-of-the-box Clojure:
(map (partial + 2) [2 3 4]) ; => (4 5 6)
(map + [2 3 4] [1 2 3]) ; => (3 5 7)

Woodcut Archive: Dams Public Website
If you’re not in the market for fancy letters, you can also browse the Plantin-Moretus woodcut archive through the categories of plants, animals, and sciences.

Proko - How to See Values Correctly
You can't always trust your eyes when drawing values. I'll show you techniques to see accurate value relationships when shading light and shadow.
Lighting conditions affect how we see color.
When drawing we have to override our brain's instinct to label things. The white portion of the eye shouldn't be white! The eye is a ball that reflects light according to the plane each portion is facing.
Avoid tunnel vision! Local highlights might actually be shadows

(X, Y, Z)
#id, classes and attrs, elements
[id="myid"]
is (0,1,0) not (1,0,0)!
You can duplicate classes to increase specificity! (0, 4, 0)
.button.button.button.button
or
.button {
&&& {
}
}
is( .button, #hammertime )
.button:not(#id1#id2) -> "impossible" because two IDs, (2, 0, 0)!
Decreasing specificity
:where( .button) -> (0,0,0)
** Very useful for css reset!
input:where([type="checkbox"])
17:55 - meta keyword in sass
** Might need to use !important in layers (dialog: display:none)

Downlights for Under $75
Sadly, most homes use $20 disk lights for illumination everywhere. The first step toward higher-quality light is a higher-quality fixture, but that means spending more money. These fixtures are a step up from disk lights, but they still emit more glare than I like.
