I am a software programmer working at RealVNC with many interests including singing, and am a Christian. Many of my friends remember me as a Part III mathematician at Peterhouse. Find out more or contact me!
This very cool (and readable) paper has the details for building what is basically the up-and-coming standard advanced functional datastructure.
A really rather interesting article about the practical interpretation of computational theory.
Somehow this slipped me by. Note especially the kFreeBSD release—this is big news. Follow it.
This is important. Talk to me to ask me why.
Awesome! You have to try this app. (Found while legitimately searching GMaps API doc.)
I’m pleased to say that my own Java applet viewer offered slicker zooming and panning functionality and better performance than Google’s own version encumbered with the GMaps API (but probably took more work to write).
A cool site! Any site can have its typos posted here; the webmaster subscribes to a feed, and fixes things in a tidy impersonal way, unlike emails or comments.
A good overview of a rather artificial but genuine example of real functional programming with XSLT. My first brush with this was a library for some matrix computations a few years ago.
In the line of reading the classic oldies
This is better than browsing Facebook—look at the cool things there are around. How had I not read about this before?
This is quite cool! You should be able to get 100% in a few different languages here. A pretty neat recruitment tool. The demo test is apparently one of the easiest.
An interesting (old) write-up on very high performance server implementations. (Cf. node.js)
These checklists really are very helpfully long and comprehensive. It just takes buffing up to get polish.
