Maybe this could be the thing that brings back technology companies to Massachusetts? A big chunk (I'd say a majority, but I didn't count) of these robots are from companies in or around Boston (including my favorite BigDog from Boston Dyna

They're in room 108 West Village H on thursdays at 11:35 (440 Huntington Ave. 02115). It's the really really big building with the glass across the street from the Museum of Fine Arts. Unfortunately, the speaker this week doesn't look like

Lists are a major part of functional programming, you could use arraylists and just make a new one every time you need to "change" data, but they're essentially lists (just not as clear).

Who needs libraries for non-destructive programming in java? You can just use an interface for a list of T (ILoT), a representation of an empty list (MtLoT), and a ConsLoT which has a first (which is of the type T) and a rest (which is of t

Believe it or not, but java can be written functionally: you have to use an interface (and a few classes) to implement a list and you can use objects as functions... but it's not usually something people get into.

You might have a good time meeting people at Northeastern University. Every wednesday we have a speaker come in and talk about something they're interested in. It'd be a great place to meet geeky students and faculty at NU. http://acm.ccs.

As much as TDD irks me to think about when I'm in the middle of a program, it's a very useful thing. Its saved me from making countless mistakes. JUnit isn't good for beginners though, because you have to define an equals method for each cl

The comments on the article (on boston.com) are absolutely ridiculous. I think that Massachusetts could rival California as a startup hub; there just needs to be some better foreign corporation laws and less taxes.

ZUIs are really exciting. I'm actually working on a project that uses ZUIs to help people visualize large amounts of data.

This is absolutely kick-ass! No foldl or foldr though?

HtDP removes the romanticism from programming. Stick to SICP.

Yes! I'm glad someone did the research to write this.

This is brilliant. Things like these are why I love science.

That's really exciting! Congratulations Paul and Jessica. Take some time off :-D

This is intriguing. Can you tell me more about it? What kind of stuff would one be doing in the short term contract?

Fixed. Thank you!

It's funny that you commented on my post because although I have a very broad range of interests, I've been getting into Information Assurance/network security (specifically, I'm on my school's team doing Active Directory and IIS management

The Design Recipe from How To Design Programs is very bottom-up based. Personally, I'm against HtDP because it strips out all of the romance in programming for me, but it does work.

To be fair, I'll probably be part-timing after work at Tippingpoint Labs and HMG, doing mostly development and the occasional remote troubleshoot, unless for some reason I am unable to.

Yes, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MIT's ESP is a program in which non-MIT professors teach students. I'm mildly obsessed with pedagogy, so I decided to have a stab at it. It was one of the best things I had ever done. I'd like

What are the extents of your experiences with soldering/electronic components?

What about abstracting out the personal details so you can have something like "KellyClarkson.hotornot.com" That way you can use one domain for all your polling.

This is just too great. I think more people should bike, but helmets are important.
