And to think, this is by the same author who wrote A Passage to India , which is in the entirely different genre. It's amazing that someone who wasn't even a science fiction writer could have such skill at seeing the future.

It's probably more because the guy owns the rights to the tweets, so he added him being hired as part of the deal. He probably won't do much in the way of writing the actual show.

How come JIT compilers seem to have a problem with compiling try/catch blocks? Also, why does caching the window object increase performance by significant margins in some of the browsers?

I think Zed's pretty much done with Rails. He said he'd only use it if absolutely necessary.

Just letting you know, I don't think the dots in gmail addresses are required. You can place them anywhere in your address and it will still get to you. Handy way to sort your inbox bases on who used which version of your email address.

Since NYU seems to be in the lead (3 points) as I'm typing this, I'll throw something in here. The introductory cs couse, ie the one I'm in right now, is not very good. I assume it gets a lot better, but the ones teaching those courses are

So we can conclude then that games have many different facets to them and they can be loosely coupled enough that you can implement them using different technologies. The interface could be done in Lua, since it doesn't require intense comp

Note to the blog's owner: I do not like getting a popup thrown in my face telling me I'm "required" to login via Facebook.

I'm kinda interested in how they did the server push animations. Does anyone know how exactly this was set up?

Steve Wozniak definitely fits the description of someone who was doing cool stuff while young. Of course, there was no techcrunch back then to widely announce to the whole world how he'd built a calculator from scratch. Maybe that's what it

The only connection between rice and math listed in that article is that cultivating rice encouraged a stronger work ethic because it is a year-round task. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that education has long been a cornersto

Except for real estate (which isn't all that bad) a lot of services like these still make it possible for a consumer to opt out with relative ease once they find out they're being cheated. With Cash4Gold, once they've melted your gold there

According to him, the pirate users only sampled a little bit of the game before moving on. As the OP states, pirates are more interested in the novelty of it.

"""quick and light scripting languages such as PHP, Python, and Ruby." I really hope the author means quick development time. Also, it's not exactly fair to classify C and assembly programmers together.

This seems to be mostly about iTunes and a little about quicktime. Hardly anything about problems in the core of OS X itself.

Don't own an iphone, but I can see how it'd be really convenient to have access to all its phone capabilities.

$40 is a pretty hefty price for a jest, especially one that's only 44 pages and could soon get even more expensive.

I was wondering about that. Was it really just a joke or are a lot of the underground crime syndicates in Africa based in Nigeria?

Backwards-compatibility should not be an issue here either. Is there any way to actually be dependent on the regularity of rand()?

Question about the code: (defmacro set-sqrt (place v) `(setf ,place (* v v))) What does the comma right before place in its second usage signify? Also, am I right in assuming that setf turns: (setf (f1 arg1) arg2) into (set

Technically, it's only a page within the site that's the first result. But I guess not many people look at ascii art just to appreciate it's ascii-ness.

Using Google Earth's ruler the blob is about 67.5 ft at the longest. Anyway there's a similar object at 57°19'49.38"N, 4°27'0.44"W, it's probably just a boat with some lines behind it.

Link to original paper [PDF]: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/fulltext/12220512... I only skimmed it a little, but apparently the control group was asked to write the names down while they were listening to the tape.

It's not really meant to just teach you scheme. Scheme by itself is incredibly minimalist and simple. The exercises are more logic/math-based puzzles. Here's a list of the exercises themselves: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/BTLS/exe

Did anyone else get the feeling that Matt Cutts sounded like some P.R. guy here? I have never heard about him, but his blog does say he's a software engineer and has at least a B.S. in computer science. On the other hand, most of his quotes
