Can anyone help me interpret the type signature Meijer used in his programming question? "Given a generic type: Cont r a = (a -> r) -> r Prove that this type forms a monad." I'm reading it as 'Container&#x

I know it's easy (and fun) to hate on Microsoft, but damn do they employ some great engineers/researchers: Erik Meijer, Anders Hejlsberg, Simon Peyton Jones, etc..

This reminds me of an answer from Bill Nye's AMA on reddit yesterday, where someone asked Nye to speculate on a worse case scenario resulting from the US not doing anything in response to climate change: "The quality of life for p

Cool! I'm not literate in Lua so the context-switching is rough on my eyes, but I think it's a neat synthesis none the less!

This fills me with joy; I was itching to write a similar blog post. Quoting article above: Music is an abstract medium — the printed note requires interpretation and execution. Like the written line of code, there is often much mo

I'm trying to parse out the logic, but it looks like the outer ring and inner rings are moving clockwise in whole steps, with the outer ring starting on C and the inner starting on C#. If we took the rings and straightened them out we&

I've been reading the book he mentions, "The Dream Machine", by Mitchell Waldrop. It has been a great read so far (I'm a little past the point of the creation of ARPA), particularly the section about John McCarthy develo

IMO I feel like it is going to be a challenge to integrate the GC of another language with the GC of the JavaScript/DOM, and if so we'll be keeping JavaScript going for a while.

I haven't tried playing it yet, but Mr Nom Nom looks adorable; one of those creative games that stirs my inner child. Etter studios shared some info about its development [1], and open sourced the code that procedurally generates the c

You're welcome; I had to dig to find it. I, like you, would have preferred to see the motivation in the top-level documentation. It helps so much to see the core concerns that an abstraction is built upon, especially something as tangl

Quoted from the article: "OpenCL works fine on NVIDIA cards, but performance is reasonably slower (up to 2x slowdown) compared to CUDA, so it doesn't really worth using OpenCL on NVIDIA cards at this moment." I wonder if that

Thanks for the feedback. I have to write a paper about any NoSQL DB of my choice, and its hard to pick one. I've been looking at RethinkDB a lot this morning, and the change feed is compelling!

MongoDB and Cassandra are on top of the pile as far as NoSQL goes [1], but I wonder how other DB's are comparing as of late? I'm particularly interested in Couchbase for some reason, because it seems to be the most robust mix of &
