The 'many ways to the top of the mountain' precept covers the existence of other valid precepts.

If a philosophy is valid it doesn't need a defense.

You don't need to invent anything for this--- that is what significant others are for.

Haskell or maybe Erlang.

A friend of mine, homeless in the area, deeply appreciates this.

Metaphor isn't the map either, but it works. If you read the article a bit more closely, you would read that the problem is to find a bit of traction on students who are primed to walk away. As much as I despise the little rodent, if Mickey

Excellent effort, as elegant as the language. Page on top should be card stock. Q&D method is to print all as instructed then take pile to Kinko's. The have both coil binding, folders and saddle style staplers. Run you about 5 bucks. So

From what I've seen on the list, Catalyst seems to be running a little ahead at the moment.

Given the context(first two problems), what is a 'box'?

Biased but interesting. Seems to me that there are only two examples of 'strange' here the 'while(<>)' and the regex. Interesting thing about regex---python itself uses perl compatible regex, so throw that item on the trash heap. As

Sparklines are good. The Book the text came from is better. The three previous books and "Beautiful Evidence" stand next to Knuth in my estimation. For Perl fans out there check out CD-Graph-Sparklines on CPAN.

Just as a useful benchmark for all of you higher level language fans--- try programming without your C libraries...

Not a new idea-- Griswold wrote Snobol as a set of 360 macros.

by hsmyers 18y ago
So did he spell Knuth wrong as a typo or through ignorance? Or is this some subtle insult? Doesn't seem to thing Perl qualifies as useful either...Oh well, one less opinion to worry about.

From the posts thus far, it's good to see the appreciation of this man. Not many of my computer books are as well-worn as my set of 'The Art'. His contribution of TeX alone would have assured his stature; just another side effect the good d

There are "lies, damned lies, and anything said by Microsoft about ODF".

I just did a little wandering around the available documentation on PLT-Scheme and noticed that large pieces are untouched since 2004. Other large pieces seem to be missing. Seems like an un-propitious start for 4.0! Or perhaps this is what

So what's a 'real' playas? Someone whose last name is Polgar? Someone who is better than you? Someone who plays tournament? And what are these 'appearances'? I'd probably agree with you if I knew what you meant--- then again maybe not...

And scribd dies on about the 7th slide (at least for me--- who thought up this remarkable piece of trash?) but what I saw was at least interesting.

"Works for me" does not represent any useful information.Frankly I listen to the people it doesn't work for--- and they are legion. Since I develop for Windows (but open source for any) I have a machine that runs Vista, just like I have a m

Good read. Comments are interesting as well. Since I started with Python and then switched to Perl, I guess this means I'll have to learn Haskell now. BTW when I made the switch I noticed immediately that I found Perl far more 'comfortable'

I'm still laughing about the idea that there is secret shit going on that the assembler programmer doesn't know about!

Interesting! I'd investigate further, but my needs have not yet required a framework. Were that so, I'd certainly ride a rail or two... --hsm
