Often people, especially computer engineers, focus on the machines. They think, "By doing this, the machine will run fast. By doing this, the machine will run more effectively. By doing this, the machine will something something something." They are focusing on machines. But in fact we need to focus on humans, on how humans care about doing programming or operating the application of the machines. We are the masters. They are the slaves.

What is most true to form is the setting Bond has created. Liberty, a small, unassuming town that is riddled with secrets, and folklore... maybe even some haints, and is full of gossip. This southern town has seen it's share of crazies and is sure that Ruby is on the way to making her way into that prestigious hall of fame that Ephram's mother did decades earlier. the currently unreleased (trunk) version.

It wasn't just the exhibition of sin that Celia Jennings had painted so beautifully during testimony that morning, it was the pure, unadulterated, juicy, unholy spectacle of the thing. The scarecrow crazy whore of Liberty had taken up with the township's mule of a deacon. It was the best piece of gossip the town had had to chew on in twenty-three years.

By 2000, Ruby was more popular than Python in Japan. [21] In September 2000, the first English language book Programming Ruby was printed, which was later freely released to the public, further widening the adoption of Ruby amongst English speakers. In early 2002, the English-language ruby-talk mailing list was receiving more messages than the Japanese-language ruby-list, demonstrating Ruby's increasing popularity in the non-Japanese speaking world. How do I give this book five stars? It rips your soul out of your body with it's strong, dark presence. You beg to be released from the grips of this story.

In a small area, on the Eastern side of Texas, there is a town(ship) named Liberty, but don’t let the name fool you, for this town is filled with enough oppression that the name Liberty may seem totally unconceivable. The oppression is not only contrived from the segregation and fear that the “Whites” uphold toward this “Colored” section of Liberty, but the town seems to be possessed by creatures of the evil kind, as the town has voodoo flowing through its veins. This book was on my radar since 2014, but the descriptions I read made it very unappealing. This is going to sound horrible no matter how I say it but I just wasn't sure I wanted to read another novel about a woman who spends her life being victimized. I agree it is horrible, but why spend time reading it?

I honestly was a bit skeptical about reading this cause I hadn't read the blurb or anything and honestly, V.C. Andrews has written A LOT of books and series about teenage girls so I expected something similar. I loved the description of the Bayou was perfect. I'm not super familiar with that area, but I got a really good visual. With New Orleans, I think we got more sights than an actual description, but I think it was such a huge place to cover, that it was well done. In the heart of the bayou, Ruby Landry lives a simple, happy life. But innocence can't last forever...
