- Research survey for programmers of all skill levels!
Readability survey
Trying to discover what makes code readable, empirically. Took me maybe 15 minutes to go through, you're not asked to do any heavy lifting.
Good exercise. Feels good to flex the ol' thinking muscles

- I've been reading #cs logs, and arbin linked to some keygen tunes.
The thing is, the server that hosts them, http://a.chujwie.co.uk made me LOL so hard I think I woke my neighbors.
You see, the English equivalent of this address as read in Polish would be, I guess, http://lick.my-an.us

- Been struggling with Jeffrey Ullman's online Automata class at Coursera, which will be wrapping up soon.
There's a course for Human-Computer Interaction starting this weekend that I've been looking forward to for a while. It will be their first project to use peer assessment, that should be pretty interesting to watch.
I've also been doing the CS101 class on Coursera, it's good to watch what an intro class looks like.
Over on Udacity I've been taking two classes, CS212: Design of Computer Programs (with Peter Norvig), where I've been learning a lot of Python, and CS262: Programming Languages (with Westley Weimer). I've fallen behind a bit with these, just catching up now. They'll be wrapping up in the next week.
In general trying to get back into coursework, and while these things are running for free I might as well take advantage of them.

- How do you find Python, BTW? It's nice to have a runtime language that doesn't suck donkey balls, but some things about it are driving me up the wall.
Who ever thought that proper indentation should be required for the script to compile should be dragged to a street and shot.
Binary file operations are also kind of clunky from what I recall.

- At work, we have began to start phasing in python as our 'standard' scripting language.
Currently we use perl and comparatively python is light years ahead, yay for types, proper classes and exceptions.
The only downside is that I have had to make a database connector (for Unify dataserver)

- It's growing on me, there's a lot of cool stuff. Generator functions, generator expressions, list comprehensions are super useful. Check out the itertools, and collections modules if you haven't yet. Binary access is slightly awkward but much easier than in C overall.

Blah, spent an hour writing an argument that analog/digital is not the same as continuous/discrete. With a questionably valuable historical aside!

I discovered today that my new NYU account gives me access to the OED, and I checked up on the entries for "analog" and "digital". It looks like I must issue a retraction.
