If you liked all that, you'd probably enjoy the tv show "In search of perfection" by Heston Blumenthal, which is all about optimising common recipes (supposedly in a manner reproducible in a domestic kitchen, although I'm often a bit skepti

Just came here to check for that reference :) I'm not sure how much hacking he actually does these days though; the last interview I heard from him (a few years ago) he said that he doesn't any more but still could, and even his investment

Watch "The Corporation" if you get the chance (although it's 4 hours long). Essentially, corporations have the legal rights of a person, but none of the incentives to "be good". Their sole imperative is to maximise value for shareholders,

I doubt this will receive much attention since it is now a few weeks since his death, but someone commented on how a fragment of the first obituary posted would have been much better served by a fellow computer scientist. This is that tribu

Is WebOS honestly that good? The last I heard that I was paying attention to was jwz giving up on his for performance reasons ( http://jwz.livejournal.com/1108212.html ) I know there's a lot to like about it; I loved (in my brief exposure)

That's a great link, thanks. I've just started reading http://sites.google.com/site/cinterfacesimplementations/ , and it looks like SFL should provide a good companion piece at the very least. Great documentation.

Right, that's the first reference I've seen of Oz being based on the pi-calculus! I'll have to have a closer look; Mozart/Oz has been on my list for a while now, but has slipped down the pile a bit.
