Haskell at the top of the list was one that I really enjoyed. It has a pretty scary learning curve but its wonderful having a language that feels so consistent.

As a student I make regular use of private repos because publishing answers to marked coursework is frowned upon.

My favourite moments aren't the 'wows' so much as the times I wipe and setup someone's laptop after they've messed it up, put chrome on it and hear literally no complaints.

BitBucket is also very nice for students, their deal gives you unlimited private repos among other things, far more generous than GitHub.

Closer to the Hurd of social networks I'd say.

It's possible to put yourself through some real pain by in appropriate use of awk. (Case in point: University coursework - processing html. Not pretty) Pretty easy to knock together a quick line of code for dealing with files where there ar

To be fair relatively little of the post is marketing.

I think people would generally appreciate you summarising your post and then perhaps quietly noting you'd blogged on the subject in the bottom line. (Just for future reference)

Does anyone have any suggested reading on learning about this sort of thing? It looks like a fascinating area but I can't figure out where to start.

Well, you've now nicely turned a negative review into some positive attention. Bookmarked for next time I run out of tea.

Indeed, and I went for it in a shot - worked very well.

I speak as an undergraduate here, so I realise that there may be some things about your position that I can't really appreciate properly. I also think that if you made it very clear that NO collaboration was allowed then it is true, this st

The thing with Spotify is the 'adding albums to your collection' model isn't one they're keen to promote. The idea is really (as far as I can tell - and I've been a full-price paying user for a long while now) that you have this HUGE collec

I actually quite like the new design. Primarily because it seems that all the google web apps are going to move to a more unified design (whereas before docs stuck out like a sore thumb). I agree though that the calendar space could do wit

Application Specific passwords are designed to solve the case where an application requires you to enter your Google username and password rather than passing you to Google themselves to do the authentication. The obvious risk of this model

Given LulzSec seems to post their hacks on twitter, that there's no way of validating who posted the PasteBin item and that the Office of National Statistics hasn't reported the loss, its probably best to wait and see something a little mor

Read the article to the end. It says almost exactly this.

I own a netbook - its quite small and could be easily hidden behind a sofa or something, lets say I leave it somewhere private - maybe a hidden corner of someone's house (a friends house, I didn't break in). I take some photos with it it. D

Atom processor in my year old netbook handles scrolling and gmail easily, and flash tolerably. Is there not a chance that these things have improved?

You still can't sync songs you don't own. If you become a free user then any music you just 'made available offline' won't be accessible to you any longer.

I'd agree. It's quite easy to question the intelligence of someone who tries to socialise, finds it fails again and again, notices that everyone else has no difficulty but assumes the problem is with everyone else.

Calling the Planck constant 'esoteric' seems odd even if expressing it in total layman's terms could be difficult. I don't see why explaining that it's a constant relating to photons, light and energy would be too difficult, or too far away

Give yourself a hard deadline. Its the only way I can get myself into the 'zone' for some of the less interesting pieces of uni coursework.

Wish I had seen this about a year ago. Learnt some of it the hard way already sadly.

Easily discernible for me. Its an awful lot like your tennis analogy though. "I could take on anything my opponent would throw at me and without even breaking a sweat" If I'm 'in the zone' as it were, you could replace 'opponent' with 'bugs

It would appear that they did. The abstract of Lee et Al's report states: "We report on the experimental quantum teleportation of strongly nonclassical wave packets of light. To perform this full quantum operation while preserving and retri
