I see lots of languages targeting the LLVM (for example Ruby's MacRuby implementation, Python's Unladen Swallow, and recently a thesis about using it for Haskell through the GHC). What does this mean for the average programmer? I'm assuming

This is really cool. I have been learning some stats, data mining, and machine learning stuff and I'm compelled by Incanter. I can see why a lisp is a good choice for statisical computing, with lists of data and easy composition of calculat

Neuroscience is the new "I read it on the internet, so it must be true." I'm glad we have some "neuroscience" backing the idea that you should be interesting to keep your audience's attention. Everyone seems to be an expert in neuroscience

This is a bad idea for a number of reasons. Why water down the quality of physicians rather than increase the number of Physician Assistants or Nurse Practitioners? They are more than capable of providing basic preventative care. They are a
