The interpreter for Logo is actually extremely similar to an interpreter for Scheme; additionally, we went over several variations on the Scheme interpreter in lecture.

We didn't do the registers and bytecode, which was too bad although fair to students taking the class with less programming experience. One happy side-effect of the switch to Python is that there is now a self-paced version that allows the students to do all that if they want.
By 'African diaspora', do you mean Africans in different countries will use BTC to transact with each other across borders? Or is there some wide-scale emigration of African people out of Africa and across the globe I wasn't aware of?
It took me years to consider using vim over plain vi. After fifteen years or so of vi I ended up switching to emacs.

I've worked with really awesome people who are completely lost without [insert proprietary single-platform editor here].
I can't use vim. God, I've tried, and tried. I'm too old. I just can't do it. So I stick with a big IDE (or Sublime 2 which I'm liking more and more).

I had to telnet into a Centos box recently and the only thing I could find was vi. Took me a few minutes but I managed. I was proud. ;)
I'm flattered. Feel free to redistribute it as much as you like; in a country that's struggling just to pay the bills, I feel like we should be talking about this a lot louder.
The demos have shown me how powerful CSS3 (and CSS2 before it) is. My take away is that CSS3 is very powerful and can provide a user experience that could replace what could only be done in native apps and proprietary plugins before. The demos similar to the posts about running a Linux instance on top of JavaScript in your browser, or whatever new language has the greatest new features or libraries... they may not be immediately practical, but they keep me informed about the state of the art.
For PhD's:
"Salary offers ranged from $132,888 to $145,000. The average salary offer was $123,972."

how can the average be lower than $132,888?
Indeed. In the long term this is just statistical noise, as long as the underlying tech and theoretical foundations are solid.

People weened on CNBC and other breathless, 24/7 financial news give way too much credence to short-term market flutterings and twitterings.
So what? The inherent assumption is that graduating PhD have "absolutely no incentive" to remain in academia. I think multimillionaire profs are proof that it is just possible that people choose to teach for reasons entirely unrelated to pay.

In my opinion the big difference here is that a compromised Dropbox key would give the malicious app access to data it wouldn't normally be able to access. A stolen Twitter API key just lets the app act as any other Twitter app does, there's not really any additional data it would be privy to.

While it might seem low, this isn't really news. Google Apps has a per account daily sending limit of... 500 recipients: https://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ans...

And it's been that way for at least three years (I had written some code in 2008 to use multiple Apps accounts to send notifications for a web app in round-robin fashion)
While some toys can definitely be attributed as luxury (you don't really need that iPad), I can say that my i7 Macbook Air made me a significantly happier developer. Incredibly fast for everything I do, be it Xcode or Photoshop. Check. Long battery life and lightweight - great for coffee shops. Check. This is one "toy" that actually improved my productivity.

Also, something should be said about efficiency. If you're primarily coding on a slow/old computer where compiles, etc. take longer, you may be wasting precious time. It's worth having the best tools for the job.
And if you have trouble getting F.lux to work on Linux, as I did, try Redshift too. It does exactly the same thing.

http://jonls.dk/redshift/
Also, the docs at Google are confusing too. They make a distinction between sending limits for Google Apps (500/account/day) and Google Apps for Business (3000/account/day). I've used Google Apps (for Business?) for several years and don't know the distinction between the two.
I definitely agree, if I wasn't doing Windows development, I'd be perfectly happy with a machine that was that level spec, Vim and screen don't take up many resources at all. Lousy battery life would be a dealbreaker though.

Basically, a dirty flag that is checked every time you try to read a value. More specifically, each object has a self.value attribute that serves as a cache of the object's content. When it is notified that something has changed, it deletes the value. When you access it, it recomputes itself from scratch, taking advantage of caches of subobjects where possible.

You can see most of the logic in fern.ast.node.Node. self.refresh_impl is supposed to set self.value in a way appropriate to the subclass, and the Node functions handle the rest.

This is actually a pain to debug, especially with lots of nested scopes, but it seems to me like the evaluation should be lazy, rather than changing one object potentially re-computing the entire tree when you only cared about one part. You can call .refresh() on it manually if you need to get the computation out of the way.

My unscientific advice:

1. Invert the colors whenever possible. Dark background, light text. Zenburn is a good color scheme for this, and you can find it for just about everything, from Vim and Emacs to Xmonad, to tons of other stuff.

2. LCD only. Not a problem these days, you don't see CRTs much anymore.

3. Don't hunch over your computer. Back straight, lean back, recline if necessary or get a standing desk, and increase the font size.

4. Look up frequently and practice refocusing on items of varying distances. Treat your eyes like muscles, work out your focusing ability.

5. Stay hydrated.

6. Eat carrots.

7. Use F.lux or Redshift.

8. More if I think of it ...

If you open a bank account in the US (and many other parts of the world), you have to show identification. Why not the same in Switzerland? The Swiss can ask for ID when opening an account; if the account holder is a Swiss citizen, give her/him all the privacy you want. If s/he's not, then reveal the accounts when that country's government asks.

Alternately, the Swiss can tell each country how much money their citizens have in Switzerland (in aggregate).

The iTunes Store came with the original iPod, and it was an integral part of Apple's strategy.

You probably meant the App Store, which wasn't on the very first iPhone and was, in fact, a bit of a lucky strike. Jobs didn't want anyone installing anything on the phone (classic Apple control-freakery at its finest), so he insisted for months after launch that extensibility would come exclusively from sandboxed web-applications. Eventually they did release a SDK and establish a process to publish apps, but only after encountering overwhelming demand.

Erlang wasn't purpose built for multi-core though. It just so happens that everything desired for ultra reliability and continuity ended up working well for multi-core applications. The share-nothing architecture is not "for multi-core" it is for stability and reliability. The multi-core fit is a great bonus that happens to now be very important. Ditto for functional programming's immutability.

Super 6 Dissertation Writing Tips That Will Guarantee an F Grade
The introduction and the conclusion are two of the most important components in a dissertation. If either of these parts are poorly composed or does not accumulate to the proper word count can give a bad impression on your entire thesis. Composing a poor introduction means that you have not done enough research for the dissertation and a poor conclusion signifies that you have nothing substantial to add to the research field which can be quite disappointing for the reviewers after the hard work that has gone in your investigative report.

Crinkler secrets, 4k intro executable compressor at its best
It has by no means "displaced" its proprietary equivalent, but Inkscape is one of the most user-friendly open source apps I've ever used. I find it far more intuitive than Illustrator. An incredible amount of power and complexity is presented in a way that makes it quite intuitive and a joy to use. It's also easily extensible if you're a programmer.
Aside from an SSD, a 2006 computer (with the introduction of the first intel Core2Duo) with 8 gigs of ram is really the last time things got noticeably faster for the average programmer.

Sure, game programmers and the like 'need' to upgrade more often, but for almost everyone else, it's just been a waste of money in relation to what you get.

Laptops are a different story, though I think that's quickly coming about (or it already has with i5/i7s)

I have noticed a tendency for some of the bulkier tools to get slower over time, making it seem like you need a better computer, when in reality, we just need better tool makers (VS 2010 was a notable step back that made you feel like it was time to upgrade).

It's too damn slow and chews up way too much memory unless you're writing a single, long-running, multithreaded process. So, it forces you to write all applications as single, long-running, multithreaded processes.

Another reason why I hate Java is that there are going to be at least 3 people who reply to this saying that Java isn't slow.
Not long about I accidentally ruined the keyboard on my oldish white macbook, I debated spending cash I really didn't need to spend on a nice new macbook air. But after giving it some good thought I decided to just go ahead and replace the topcase myself.

While deciding this I realized it's rather a shame that in our hacker culture there's still somewhat of a fetishism for having a sleek new laptop, and that it would be much better if the culture valued the patched together, upgraded and heavily worn.

There are many great reasons for this: cut down on consumer waste, more in-tune with the hacker ideal to squeeze the most out of what you have in front of you, interesting performances issues aren't solved with a simple hardware upgrade, and of course Zed's point that we remain more in-touch with what actual users are using.

It shouldn't a point of shame to have the latest and the greatest, but it would be nice more cred went to the hacker in the room with the oldest, most beatup, but still productive laptop

"If you're a developer, you need to spend money on a great computer, an awesome monitor, a fantastic chair and a good bed"

Personally, I think Zed's approach is far more responsible/sane. If you "need to spend money on a great computer", you are either doing something very different than me, or very wrong.
Again, why should the Swiss do another country's homework? Enforcing someone else's laws is not their job. They will honour judgements or warrants issued from the benches of most countries, but they're hardly going to just give up secrecy because somebody somewhere is annoyed at them.

Neutrality requires secrecy. If you favour one group with disclosure and not another group, you're no longer strictly neutral. You have to treat everyone identically or it no longer works. That means that you are the refuge of scoundrels and a bulwark of liberty. The Swiss have decided entirely reasonably that that's what they want.

I understand that :) The point is that they are putting the logos there without having been featured by any of the sites.
I know they could and they probably will, but what I'm saying is that it could be too late. They had to make a first impression with Chromebooks and they blew it, in big part because of the pricing. They did the very same mistake with the Google TV Revue that was also powered by Atom and cost $300, while the ARM-based Apple TV was $100. And it seems they still haven't learned their lesson, now making all future Android versions optimized for Atom.

Why bitcoin will rise in price again, but it will take years
...which is why I linked to some actual science. The fact that anecdote seems to coincide with the science, while perhaps statistically irrelevant, I thought others might find interesting.
Maybe at MIT an "introductory course" means something a lot different than the school I went to, but SICP covered a lot of stuff in more depth than my entire CS degree did. I'm referring mostly to the 4th and 5th chapters, which cover language implementation right down to the hardware. Are those chapters included in MIT's "introductory" computer science course?
Agreed. The web site also completely breaks text search since it's a mix of text and graphics. Just search for "nethack" and you will see your search miss half of the occurrences.

Maybe the author's design sense could be put to good use by improving Nethack's graphics :-)

China proposes 'traffic rules' to secure cyberspace
I don't think Bitcoin dropping in price to the $3 level or whatever level it's at now, means it's the end of Bitcoin. I was very surprised when it had the value of just $1 back April I believe. A currency needs to be supported by real economy, not just speculation. It seems all the speculators are gone now, and Bitcoin will continue its normal course of growing at the pace of its own economy. I believe one of the catalysts for Bitcoin will be NFC payments, because that would remove a huge obstacle for Bitcoin, and it would allow many merchants of real products to sell them for Bitcoin very easily.

Of course, it would help if merchants wouldn't have to be afraid that FBI will come knocking at their door questioning them about it, or if the Government wouldn't immediately freak out about it if its usage explodes in the marketplace. You'd need a president that supports currency competition, too, and might even allow something like this in the market (Ron Paul could be such a president).
My impression, and I recall this from reading the introduction, is that the fourth chapter is included--just like at Berkeley--but the fifth chapter isn't.

The way the Berkeley intro course series is structured, it actually makes sense to not teach the fifth chapter in the first class: the idea is that you go from the top down, starting with really high abstractions and working your way down to building a computer out of logic gates. The fifth chapter fits in with the latter portion more than with the rest of SICP.

Also, MIT doesn't teach SICP at all in its intro course any more, as far as I know. They've also switched to Python, but I don't think they've kept the book, structure or material from the Scheme course (unlike what Berkeley is doing here).
Shouldn't it be worth it to decrease friction in something you are spending 8-10 hours a day on? Personally I can't stand when I run into the physical/computational limitations of a system I'm on. I also can't stand it when someone on my team complains about this.

A nice computer, a good amount of RAM, good input devices, a good chair and a desk are paltry compared to what you should be paying a great engineer or designer.

Tools don't make the talent, but they sure do make the extraction of talent into product/technology much easier all around.
