I started on a Lisp interpreter in Scala but only got as far as a prefix notation/sexp parser: http://gist.github.com/215712 You can load it into the REPL with scala -i PNCalc.scala and try an expression with PNCalc.test: scala> P

My favorite computer of all time was the Powerbook G4 12". Sturdy build, full size keys, and internal DVD. Were it not for Apple's switch to Intel, I'd still be using it. Was that a netbook? Not quite, but I really wish Apple would bring

Anyone have an idea as to how hackable this thing is? A friend of mine and I are looking for a good platform upon which to build a programmable and pocket-sized RPN calculator.

New hires were "...told to play Lemmings for a couple of weeks to get the idea" So awesome. That was a great game.

Won't every interface end up obsolete? Seems like the only interfaces with real staying power are serial and mini phonoplug.

The alternative to preforking is select(2), which lets you get away with a single-process server and avoid IPC in certain scenarios: http://www.lowtek.com/sockets/select.html I think Boa and thttpd use select instead of forking for client

I know it's possible, because I did it a few years ago. As I recall, I installed a plugin. Unfortunately, that's all I remember - I haven't used Eclipse in several years.

Seriously - "show me the code." I like to listen to people when they're brilliant, even if they don't have great speaking skills.

The best resource I've found was "The Unix Programming Environment," which goes beyond the C language and into using common libraries and organizing C projects with make and other tools. Other than that, some food for thought on use of C in

Is this a preference? I've tried in the past to dig up research actually proving the "most visible combination" through experimentation. I've always assumed that road signs are the combination of colors they are because some empirical res

Dot itself is also a command line tool, so it's easy to make documents and presentations with TeX that have text-format diagrams in the dot language. You can also do things like generate call graphs for programs, or parse log files into se

If there's anything good about PHP that I can tell, its that development is heavily community driven and has been since the early days. However, I think PHP got so popular, and so quickly, that in many cases the community's desire for feat

Hey, I'm using 2.7.5 and it worked for me. There's a tidbit of 2.8 specific code in there, but it's noted. I'm also the dude that wrote it, so if you have any problems or questions drop a line. Scala, for me, has been worth learning.
