The project: http://taglab.utoronto.ca/projects/technologies-combat-isola... It's really a great idea to break elderly people isolation. My elderly relatives tend to use the phone, and I'm rarely available, so I really like the asynchrono

Here in France you get a pre-filled form by regular mail. You can correct it if there's something wrong and then send it, or do those steps online.

Anecdotal data point: I can see it. Not when looking directly at a light but on my peripheral vision it is very noticeable at times. I'm pretty sure lots of people are able to perceive it but do not mind. NB: I'm in Europe and the AC is 50H

This article reminded me of something I read about the Unix model vs the lisp model. I managed to track it down, it's a comp.lang.lisp posting by Erik Naggum. http://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3245983402026014@naggum.... The interesting

A colleague of mine is developping a Cython (and OpenMP) based sift wrapper. It's available here: https://github.com/kif/imageAlignment It's already used for alignment of X-ray images.

go build reminds me of ghc --make, it's great. That and Go reaching a 1.0 release may help me get it considered for some projects at work.

labels? http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/s_flet... My guess: the nested defun is not only defined in the enclosing defun scope as it may seem, but in the whole current package. http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/

I'm learning Haskell ATM and it looks similar to lazy lists in WHNF, as at each step you get an element and a "thunk" that can be used to compute the next step. The code for the cycle Haskell function is really simple: http://hackage.haske

Wow! I'm currently playing with some plan9front VMs (the plan9 fork from the cat-v.org people) and his intro to plan9 looks fantastic: http://lsub.org/who/nemo/9.intro.pdf I had trouble finding information on Plan9, thank you so much for

I've seen it being used by oldschool (obsolete) admins. When asked about security they argue the servers are in a DMZ, so it's safe, right?

I stumbled upon three.js demos when looking for Javascript plotting libs yesterday and I couldn't believe the stuff it can do rendering on a canvas. It was a big "I really underestimated Javascript" moment.

I learned a lot of things using apropos-command (after I got comfortable with basic editing.) When I found myself thinking "it would be cool if emacs did X", I just tried C-h a X Ret to see if there is a function for it. Emacs also tells yo

I wish this kind of mentoring program would be implemented here (I work in a big research center). Often us programmers end up having to integrate code written by scientists in our apps, and it's a pain. Even a quick glance over the code is

When I scanned the frontpage and saw "termite" and "distributed" in the title I thought it would be about Termite the distributed Scheme. See http://code.google.com/p/termite/ It's been around for quite some time.

For most people Haskell is the first introduction to some concepts (lazy eval, functional purity, etc.) that makes Haskell compelling in the first place. So as Haskell looks so foreign and they do not see the benefits they will reap, they d

The statement was many of the open source libraries written in Common Lisp are half-baked, incomplete, unmaintained and tasteless . Qt, Scipy/Numpy and others are amongst the best libs available for their target language, but many other ar

When an injury or real life makes it next to impossible to train, I usually get sick more often. But you're right, I'm speaking only of my own experience.

"running leisurely for 20-30mn" is not hard work, so I guess you won't have a hard time recovering from it, if at all. OTOH a real challenging workout requires a recovery period, since it causes some "damage". Looks like the body has troubl
