As long as you don't only use it for python, maybe. I'm unsure what they mean by 'impractical'

coding for the sake of coding was always a hard sell. just get on with your life and if you need to automate some digital shenaniganry you can figure it out then and there.

Chapter 3: Solving Anagrams 35
Chapter 4: Decoding American Civil War Ciphers 63
Chapter 5: Encoding English Civil War Ciphers 91
Chapter 6: Writing in Invisible Ink 105
Chapter 7: Breeding Giant Rats with Genetic Algorithms 125
Chapter 8: Counting Syllables for Haiku Poetry 145
Chapter 9: Writing Haiku with Markov Chain Analysis 161
Chapter 10: Are We Alone? Exploring the Fermi Paradox 187
Chapter 11: The Monty Hall Problem 217
Chapter 12: Securing Your Nest Egg 239

Now it's easier to gauge how useful the book actually instead of just literally judging it from just the fucking cover.
