Wheres the Clojure love? :)
blaiset··on Unix-like virtual shell inside browser
Well that was fun :P "If problems continue, install linux"
blaiset··on Git Magic [pdf]
Nice, I'd been using google "Site:Ycombinator -----" to find articles of interest. Thanks.
blaiset··on Is It Cheating to Use Wolfram Alpha for Math Homework?
Enjoyable presentation. Conrad Wolfram basically suggests teaching math like programming is often taught. (focus logical on problem solving, by changing the belief that computing by hand = math skill)
blaiset··on Linux on the desktop 2010, your honest thoughts?
Indeed, It may be a chip on my shoulder about iphone/touch development standers (including, but not limited to, needing a mac to develop for them). Just my personal preference though.
blaiset··on Linux on the desktop 2010, your honest thoughts?
Yeah, its helped alot with my family's computers a lot too. (on a side note) I will say im amazed that with one installation of win 7 pro (since rcm version), I havent had any virus/spyware problems (with no anti-virus/spyware software)
blaiset··on Linux on the desktop 2010, your honest thoughts?
I've been dual booting Ubuntu and Win7 for several months now, and I can't find too many reasons why I would choose Ubuntu over Win7 (or Mac OS). I should say, I have converted friends and family to Ubuntu and they do just fine.

Many of the tools I like for Linux are starting to also get ports for Windows. Plus Win7 feels open source compared to my buddy's Mac :P

blaiset··on Conway's Game Of Life in one line of APL
I wish I fully understood half of what happened in that video. (First time seeing APL, very cool)
blaiset··on How Doug Engelbart taught kids to ride a bike (without training wheels)
Was taught at the age of 4. From my experience (younger siblings also) 4-5 yrs of age is about average right?
blaiset··on How Doug Engelbart taught kids to ride a bike (without training wheels)
Better than the way I was taught, My older brother gave my bike a shove and told me to pedal. It only took one fall to figure it all out :)
