I WAS GLAD to provide a short quote for Joel Stein's recent piece on the "Urkel Effect," wherein he confesses his fear that, no matter what anyone tells the polls, a great number of Americans simply will not be able to bring themselves to vote for the nerd. I FELT HE COULD NOT BE MORE WRONG, and said so in my typically longwinded (and atypically UNCAPPED) fashion. My rant was far more than he could ...

Der Name "iPod classic" bekommt hier jedenfalls eine völlig neue Bedeutung…

In one of Rich Hickey’s excellent presentations introducing Clojure, he mentions in passing that Scala “isn’t really a functional language”.

Your Family Guy fan-site is riding a wave of viral referrals, the community has grown tenfold in last month alone! First, you've deployed an SVD recommendation system, then you've optimized the site content and layout with the help of decision trees, but of course, that wasn't enough, and you've also added a Bayes classifier to help you filter and rank the content - no wonder the site is doing so well! The community is buzzing ...
