- Is Weak Typing Strong Enough
- Practical assessment of statically-typed vs. dynamically-typed
languages. He uses Java and Perl as examples from the day, but the
reasoning applies to C# and Scheme just as well now.
- Why Inequality Matters
- Great review of Captial in the Twenty-First Century by Bill Gates.
This book has been on my reading list for a while. I’ll get to it
some day if I can ever get through Truman.
- Autumn is tilde.club
- Advertising-based social networks are evil, but I haven’t seen a
viable, alternative revenue model yet. Ello won’t last (but I like
it’s ‘zine feel). As for
tilde.club, I won’t participate, but it sure
makes me nostalgic.
- Ghost History
- History of one of my favorite Phish tunes. Although not listed, the
2009 Festival 8 performance is one of my personal favorites because
of Trey’s guitar setup that night for the band’s musical costume
(The Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main Street).
