Friday, July 30, 2004. On Wednesday I went to an entertaining talk about pitfalls of Java. Bottom line: don't write clever code. That talk was co-hosted by the Effective Java. Author. I am still waiting for a language called effective. That would make such books redundant. Posted by =M at 4:21 PM. Thursday, July 29, 2004. Cracking the Turing test. The trick is to focus on a tractable problem. In this case. Posted by =M at 1:19 PM. Michael Moore, take note. They were used by interior designers of Friends.

Thursday, August 28, 2008. The physics of slacking. Here's a physics problem that bugged me for the last twenty years. Two people have to carry a large object up a narrow staircase. (Twenty years ago, that was a tub full of firewood for the furnace on the second floor of our. Today, it's a big screen TV for my grandma.) Whose job is more difficult: the person who goes first and holds the top end of the object, or the second person who carries the bottom end? Posted by =M at 4:30 PM. Battery made of water.

We watched 4 and 1/2 episodes while stuck in traffic on i-80 in Sierra mountains. They showed the Prada store I visited while in New York. The rows of mannequins. A connection. The trip took around 14 hours, not counting some light shoveling time. The house has wireless internet access; and a washing machine, darling. That's a new feature. Posted by =M at 2:41 AM.
