Picking colors is an interesting problem at the boundary of what can be done algorithmically with satisfactory results. For my latest side project, I needed sets of up to 5 colors that go well together but are sufficiently distant not too b

It looks like they indeed also had a DSL for image processing. Despite what the Halide presentation may be emphasizing, its novelty is not so much in the DSL than the superoptimizer that comes with it, though. Now, superoptimization is not

I am not sure whether it is still the case, but the Scala compiler used to have a dependency on Swing. The reason was that one of the potent -Y flags gave you access to an AST browser after the phase of your choice. Very convenient tool for

Indirectly related, but can anyone recommend a service to do OCR+tagging of documents? I frequently run into situations where I know I have that important letter somewhere, but just cannot put my finger on it, then start daydreaming about g

This was on HN a couple of days ago: http://www.oftenpaper.net/sierpinski.htm It points out that you can interpret the table as the relation "is disjoint" between the bitsets encoded in the row and col indice

From these bags of tricks, we can learn a lot about, if not AI, at least humans. My favorite example in that category is MGonz [1]: "In 1989 MGonz was able to fool a human subject for over an hour [...] MGonz worked on a simp

The things that matter in critical embedded systems are typically not captured by type systems: memory boundedness, running time upper bounds, overflows,... For these things even (controlled) C is a better option than Haskell today.

Please don't miss the larger point of this talk (and others by the same speaker); programming languages in general are not what they should be according to this speaker. If anything, though, he seems to agree that Scala is a good cho

As an intermediate step, you could also study LLVM bitcode. It should give you a good idea of what assembly languages "feel" like without tying you to a particular architecture. It is easy enough to write smallish programs in the
