Working Toward A Life. Saturday, October 31, 2009. African Early Childhood Development. In contrast to many other fields of social and economic development, early childhood development (ECD) lacks a system of global indicators that include all key early childhood areas: education, nutrition, health, sanitation, and child rights and protection. We are working on meeting this urgent need for a worldwide ECD database, in conjunction with the RISE Institute. Labels: African early childhood development. The t...

Working Toward A Life. Friday, April 16, 2010. Recursive Line Count (Not Code Count). A common question I am asked is how to count the total number of lines in specific files of a specific directory (and its subdirectories). After navigating to the root of the directory in which you are interested, type:. Find -type f xargs wc -l. Regex '.*/ .*' ) -type f xargs wc -l. This line of code will only pass non-hidden files (those that do not start with a period) into wc. Or files that begin with temp. What Can...

Working Toward A Life. Tuesday, September 28, 2010. Jeff Potter from Cooking for Geeks. Visited Carnegie Mellon yesterday as part of a tour to promote his new book. Aside from an excellent talk covering some neat topics about cooking/baking ( e.g. Using a 48-hour warm water bath to cook meatloaf), the audience was witness to ice cream made using liquid nitrogen. With a boiling point. Here is a short video. Of the ice cream demonstration (liquid nitrogen use begins at 2:45). Here's a link to his book.

Working Toward A Life. Sunday, November 21, 2010. The first nationwide kidney paired donation, or KPD, took place about a week ago. This program uses an algorithm developed by my advisor, Tuomas Sandholm, and Avrim Blum (and edited by me! At Carnegie Mellon University. With nearly 87,000 people on the national kidney waiting list, hopefully this algorithm- in conjunction with the 77 participating hospitals across the country- will make a dent in this number.

Working Toward A Life. Thursday, December 4, 2008. Star Trek: The Next Generation. The second iteration of the Star Trek series - The Next Generation - is perhaps the best television show I have ever seen. Although I saw a significant amount of it while growing up, viewing it again has brought back great memories while helping to make new ones. The writing, characters, attention to scientific detail, and (dare I say it) general message of the show are all extremely appealing. View my complete profile.
