jmglov: August 2010

http://jmglov.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 13, 2010. Test Driven Development by Example, in Ruby. I have long been interested in the Ruby programming language. Luckily for me, I've just gotten a job which requires me to write code in Ruby, meaning that I finally have to learn Ruby properly. The hardest part of learning a new language for me is finding an interesting and somewhat challenging problem to work on with the new language. Little exercises like the Towers of Hanoi. Or the Fibonacci sequence. 5 10 CHF = $10 if rate is 2:1.

Saturday, May 30, 2009. Essays in Idleness 01: Singularities and Data Storage. I posit the following theorem: that cosmic phenomena that have one or more attributes that are infinite (or approaching infinity quickly enough to be considered effectively infinite) resist direct observation. Now what if I want to make observations about one or more characteristics of the matter? Say, I want to write down a simple binary value (i.e. true or false) that represents whether each particle of matter is a b...So le...
