No! The biggest annoyances for me are: 1) Not easily switching to a new tab when it is opened (I somehow learned about command-option-shift-click, but, really); 2) Not being able to use ctrl-scroll wheel (on Logitech trackball) to zoom (com

Both the Apple II and the Commodore PET used the 6502. I'm amazed that these were not mentioned in the original article. I wrote a bunch of 6502 code for Micro Technology Unlimited's music and graphics boards for the PET, and even wrote my

Makes me think of the Hughes/Raytheon SPE (Signal Processing Element) that I programmed when I worked at Raytheon about 2006. Loops to control parallel processing to/from multiple memories, ... It's at least 20 years old. How can they get a

For years, I have been saying "In C, an array is a pointer, an offset, and a prayer." Looks like I might have to change this.

I use Firefox on a 2011 MacBook Pro/Lion and I find that memory usage constantly increases, even when very little is going on (starts at about 200MB, soon reached 500MB). Because of this, I have switched to Chrome, whose memory stays about

The FB IPO was not a mistake for FB - all the money went to the company instead of the insiders. The idea that the stock for an IPO has to soar on opening day is flawed - if this happens, the company should have charged more.

This article, with its black text on dark grey background, is incredibly hard for me to read. It's almost like the author didn't want it to be read.

In three years you will be 28 no matter what you are doing. Better if you are doing something you like. (From Platitudes 3:14)

Reminds me of when I was starting to program many (many, many) years ago and, for an exercise, I wrote IBM 7094 macro assembly language that would output the primes up to any specified value. The result was in a 7094 assembly time array.

Nice. Also interesting is this: "About 274,000 results (0.15 seconds)".

Makes me think of an article I read many years ago (in, I think, Mathematics Magazine) titled "Confusion Rings" which parodied abstract algebra papers. About all I remember now is "heterocococomorphism".

I am currently building it - OS X Lion. First, I had to install wget:) Then, I got a certificate error on the https, so I pasted the command into Firefox and got the tarball. After copying it to the julia dir, I edited the tar command and r

I was hoping that this was a version of Python that could run on Android (like awk can).

How about Emacs for Android? Apropos of nothing, "WINE" stands for "WINE is not Emacs".

I have a fake book which has a song finder. For a sequence of notes, just write down whether each note is higher, lower, or the same as the preceding note. There is a table at the end listing, for all such sequences, the songs that match th

Wow! I just got a response from Dan Glover (at 1205am his time) answering my question!!! He said look at the previews. I did, and, as he said, the chords are shown. Looks like I'm going to be spending money on music:)

I just sent them an email asking if they support fake book format. I prefer this when playing popular songs - I can play something almost immediately instead of having to figure out someone's arrangement.
