Oh. I should have guessed "practical ai programming" was actually PAIP(Paradigms...). I haven't read PAIP, but have read AIMA, and the topic under discussion occurs in AIMA; so I assumed OP meant AIMA.

My bad. Written communication is confusing - your comment sounded incredulous. EDIT: In retrospect, you did mention you find it interesting - don't know how it jumped out as incredulous.

In case someone runs into this comment and is interested in checking out the book, the book is called AIMA(Artificial Intelligence: A modern approach), and here is the relevant code. http://aima-python.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/search.py I

> I'm pretty sure that's a BFS, not a DFS. A DFS uses a stack, not a queue. In the gist, queue.push adds element to the tail end, and queue.pop removes from the tail end. For it to be behave as BFS, you will have to change queue.pop to

I see where you are coming from. I was arguing more on the side of "familiarity with algorithms" is like "hitting the gym" irrespective of what game/sport you play. It either helps you directly, or gives you general skill. I was mostly tak

The Ruby and Python communities are just now, many years after the hype has faded, learning that stuff like dependency injection and proper modularization are actually good things that help you maintain code over time. This remark is off

Thanks for your hard work. Not everyone knows how to mess with gdb and ruby C api, and even when you do, it's a bit unpleasant. As far as active dev work goes, IMO this is the kind of software which should implement the bare minimum correct

Remote repl can be done in Python/Ruby in hackish ways. It's the transparent hot code swap which hasn't been done yet. I haven't investigated it much, but Armin Ronacher(flask lead developer) has said reliable code reloading when a module c

I didn't find much information concerning ruby. Basically, the approach to hot code reloading is: 1. Find a way to attach to a running process. Either leave a socket open, as done in twisted manhole; or directly attach to running process. 2
