Effective Scala Video lectures for 6.851, advanced data structures – Prof. Erik Demaine's 6.851 lectures recorded with synchronized lecture notes. tobami/codespeed – GitHub – Python and django performance monitoring tool. Used for speed.pypy.org Experiences with an Icon-like Expression Evaluation System – Interesting and accessible trip through Icon's expression semantics and Converge. amoffat/pbs – GitHub – Clever library to let you start subprograms from python as if they were python functions. Much more usable than the stuff I'm used to in the pystdlib… Almost as concise as backticks and looks more flexible too (ie, handles piping) Laurence Tratt: Fast Enough VMs in Fast Enough Time – "If you can stomach the smell, put yourself briefly in the shoes of a programming language designer. What you want to do is create new programming languages, combining new and old ideas into a fresh whole. It sounds like a fun, intellectually demanding job, and occasionally it is. However, we know from experience that languages that exist solely in the mind or on paper are mostly worthless: it is only when they are implemented and we can try them out that we can evaluate them. As well as a language design, therefore, we need a corresponding language implementation." Introducing Twine: String Management for iOS, Mac OS X, and Android Development – Mobiata Blog – In this post I hope to show you just how bad the standard localization process is for iOS and Mac OS X apps, and how we have found a way to make it much easier for developers to localize their apps and then maintain these localizations and translations over time. In addition, I’ll show you how you can easily share your translations across multiple apps and platforms. This will save your company money that would otherwise be spent duplicating your translation efforts, especially if you are developing for both iOS and Android. Conduit – GNOME Live! – Conduit is a synchronization application for GNOME. It allows you to synchronize your files, photos, emails, contacts, notes, calendar data and any other type of personal information and synchronize that data with another computer, an online service, or even another electronic device. Conduit manages the synchronization and conversion of data into other formats. For example, Conduit allows you to : Synchronize your Tomboy notes with another computer Synchronize your your PIM data to your mobile phone, iPod, Nokia Internet tablet, or between computers Upload photos to Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug, ShutterFly and your iPod Any combination you can imagine, Conduit will take care of the conversion and synchronization. Python NLTK Sentiment Analysis with Text Classification Demo – neat demo but the results aren't intuitive. maybe the training set isn't great. Gender Prediction with Python : Stephen Holiday

Introducing the HUD. Say hello to the future of the menu. « Canonical Design – Canonical is moving towards no menus and just using a quicksilver-style "HUD" smart text interface. That's great – menus stink and this gives a path to voice control too, but there's a big discovery problem to be attacked (which menus also have but not as bad). Ubuntu One Blog » Blog Archive » U1DB technical preview release: tell us what you think! – Blog post announcing u1db preview U1DB — u1db v0.0.1.dev.0 documentation – Developer preview documentation. Their summary: " U1DB is a database API for synchronised databases of JSON documents. It’s simple to use in applications, and allows apps to store documents and synchronise them between machines and devices. U1DB itself is not a database: instead, it’s an API which can be backed by any database for storage. This means that you can use u1db on different platforms, from different languages, and backed on to different databases, and sync between all of them. "

Steven Frank: Notes: Home CVXPY documentation — CVXPY v0.0.1 documentation – Optimization, uses Disciplined Convex Programming Progression: Supporting Optimisation in Haskell « Communicating Haskell Processes – Tools for benchmarking haskell performance 1.-Environment setup The GNU Prolog web site – Free GNU Prolog – supports ISO The Ciao System – "Ciao is a general-purpose programming language which supports logic, constraint, functional, higher-order, and object-oriented programming styles. Its main design objectives are high expressive power, extensibility, safety, reliability, and efficient execution" Marmalade: Spreadable Elisp – A repository for elisp packages. Uses ELPA. Didn't work when I tried it, but maybe a firewall issue? Haddock Documentation Generator for Haskell – Really nice documentation generator for Haskell code. I particularly like the synopsis tab. Archives of the Caml mailing list > Message from Xavier Leroy [2002] – From 2002: "In summary: there is no SMP support in OCaml, and it is very very unlikely that there will ever be. If you're into parallelism, better investigate message-passing interfaces." Archives of the Caml mailing list > Message from Benjamin C. Pierce – Lots of links about CPS and continuations in Ocaml and others.

2011 Annual Question | Edge : "what scientific concept would improve everybody's cognitive toolkit" – As usual more thought provoking essays than will fit in my head, but seriously, what is "A Proxemic of Urban Sexuality" getting at? Simplified Unity Lens Development with Singlet | Michael Hall's Blog llvm-py – Python bindings for LLVM – Google Project Hosting The Mython Programming Language – "Mython is an extensible variant of the Python programming language. Mython makes Python extensible by adding two things: parametric quotation statement, and compile-time metaprogramming. The parametric quote statement is simply syntactic sugar for saying "run some function on this embedded string". Compile-time metaprogramming allows you to evaluate that function on the embedded string at compile time. This gives you added choice, both in terms of what your code looks like, and when you want to evaluate that code." Solaris Internals and Performance FAQ – Siwiki – Main Page for Solaris Internals Wiki. Tons of info about Solaris' er, Internals.
