Sounds like a plan. Thanks for the ideas!

Yup, I'm aware of Emscripten, which was part of the reason behind my question. I hadn't considered the issue of lack of code / data separation when dealing with pure binary code. I'm actually working on a JVM interpreter in Coffeescript now

I like that idea, and I think I'm going to try it. I'm slightly perturbed that my school doesn't have an advanced compilers course, but I could definitely use this strategy as a way of learning more.

Do you mean that you did your school's compiler class project each year despite not taking the class, and every year they were targeting a different architecture?

Thanks for the explanation! It makes sense. I was just wondering though -- why is it necessary for generate_block / decode_instruction to be called on the fly, instead of as a pre-compilation step? I guess you need some sort of runtime info

You mentioned in the 'Worst Linux PC' thread that your implementation generates JS code on the fly and 'captures up to three backwards jumps'. Do you mind explaining in more detail how this works?

As other commenters have mentioned, she probably isn't as unknown as the article suggests. I'd have thought that her symmetry work is pretty well-known in the field of Physics, and credited under her name.

I'm very interested in this topic too. Aside from functional programming, I think examining how existing systems were designed is another good way to improve. I'm taking a class[1] where we read a bunch of classic papers on systems design,

Cracking the Coding Interview is great, though you have to pay for it: http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Coding-Interview-Programming-... MIT's IAP course resources are pretty good too: http://courses.csail.mit.edu/iap/interview/materials.p

There's a very nice Javascript tags generator created by Mozilla called DoctorJS (formerly jsctags). It does a bunch of static analysis that makes up for Javascript's weak typing. I've made a blogpost about it here: http://discontinuously.

Heh, thanks :) though I often get asked why 'int3' when an integer has at least four bytes...

Minor correction regarding OPT durations: you're allowed up to 12 months by default, and you can get a 17-month extension on top of that if you're a STEM major.

Chiming in as a sophomore from a liberal arts college: you don't even have to be from a top tech school like Berkeley to get an internship your freshman year. BigCos are unlikely to call you back, but you do have a shot at startups. And o

Will you be hiring interns this summer?

It's unconventional, not low: "Light Field Resolution: 11 Megarays: the number of light rays captured by the light field sensor."

Would you be interested in chapter contributions?

Wow, I had no idea that Processing has been around for so long -- I'd only heard about it sometime in the last two years.

I believe bookmarklets still work -- the restriction only applies if the javascript: URIs were typed in by the user.

The money's not gone, it's mostly just transferred from one party to another -- in this case, from Google to Motorola's shareholders. Of course, many man-hours are wasted in the legal wrangles, but it certainly doesn't add up to $20 billion

Perhaps only the 'instant' part of the search -- covering only exact matches ending in .com/.net/.org -- is private, and GoDaddy is used for a more general search?

I'm doing some initial work on that.

Seems a little too wordy to me -- perhaps more content could be hidden behind 'click to expand' sections?

I think it might be possible via NPAPI.
