I did an MS/CS (coursework-only) nearly twenty years after completing my BS/CS. After twenty years in industry, I expected to concentrate my coursework on design, software engineering, and "practical" topics like bioinformatics. Instead, I

I got my MS about twenty years after my BS. The primary value I got was a fresh appreciation of the "science" in Computer Science. I went in planning to focus on software engineering and bioinformatics; two very practical offshoots from my

Oh, interesting. That's how new this book is; when I (immediately) went to its page on O'Reilly, only the Print Pre-Order was enabled. Thanks for the update!

Wait a second. How can you be "pretty familiar" with Columbine and also assert that "The Columbine shooting didn't involve a planted bomb" and "The boys just showed up to school shooting", neither of which assertions actually turns out to b

Did you read the article? "Upon their arrival at Columbine, the duo met near Harris's car and armed two 20 pound (9 kg) propane bombs before entering the cafeteria a few minutes prior to the beginning of the A lunch shift, placing the duffe

This isn't a "rant on Clojure". It's a rant, all right, and Clojure is prominently featured, but the rant is about "Uncle Bob" Martin's assertion that Clojure is or should be "the last programming language". Which I take to be hyperbole, no

I introduced Frank to the codebase of a shipping commercial app. Just having the ability to write functional tests without having to deal with all the plumbing was a big win for the whole team, devs and QAs alike. Don't let the Cucumber stu

Purchased. Good job, @lrz. Glad to know your departure from Apple and (apparent) distancing from MacRuby were in a good cause.

The JVM rose to prominence in the browser, and it was not always known for its "high performance features". Quite the opposite. Doppio is cool if for nothing else than to demonstrate that this is possible at all. I can't wait to see where t

The first beige-box PC I owned, I bought with the express intention of declining the Windows license, wiping it, and installing Linux (Slackware, back in the day). I fought with weird window managers and device drivers for a few years, then

I suspect that this project will end up in the same place as Locomotive, for the same reasons. It's a very platform-specific way to manage a thing that should be largely platform-agnostic. Now, if someone were to leverage homebrew and write

Local data is immutable (read-only). Also, the Peer cache uses a LRU replacement strategy; older data will drop off as new data comes in to keep most-recent local data in memory.

This is exactly what I've been thinking recently about computer science / programming. There's just so much to read / learn / practice / improve. Nice to have it put in perspective. Gotta learn to surrender more.

32GB WiFi. Haven't missed 3G yet. iBooks w/PDF support + Amazon Kindle app = bye bye Kindle. Would buy it again. Will probably buy at least one more by Christmas for my family, so I can have mine back.
