There comes a time in each man’s life that he can’t even believe his own eyes.
A new programming language has emerged from Google. It’s called Go.
And one thing is certain, someone’s responsible!
These people are Rob Pike, Ken Thompson (of the Plan 9 fame), and .

First, there was Mr. Samuel Jackson, who grew weary of . That movie, and especially that utterance became an instant Internet meme (WARNING: contains spoilers).

Tahoe-LAFS is a decentralized fault tolerant file system. When Zooko was demonstrating it, he wanted to show how the system stays up even when a node fails.
And to demonstrate node failure, :)
Abstract: We have empirically observed, for the first time, an accurate reading for the half-life of a combined chocolate-mint crush bar (Mf) having an initial mass of 200 grams. During the observations, the mass of the Mf underwent Zeta decay from 200 g to 100 g within about 310 seconds, causing an instantaneous measured energy gain of 7.0805 kJ/s in the observers. The instantaneous energy gain observation is consistent with the five-dimensional space-time manifold Rye-Ergot vertex postulate of the super-string “many worlds” theory [McKenna77].
I got my CMU Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Software Architecture Professional Programme (SAPP) certificate today.
It was a two-part course, consisting of “Software Architecture: Principles and Practices”, “Documenting Software Architectures”, “Software Architecture Design and Analysis” and “Software Product Lines”.
During the course I also learnt how to stay frosty.

I’m well into steps 1 and 2 now. ‘Tis the time of the year, indeed. At least the Cetirizine HCl generics are cheap.
“Weeks of coding can save you days of planning”. It’s funny, because it’s true – and not only that, it surely applies to other fields as well! A true gem.
Currently I am in Sweden, working in Ronneby which is some 30 km distance from Karlskrona, where I’m staying. I can honestly say the Blekingska/Skånska dialects (listen) demand quite some getting used to before one can properly make out words and/or have a meaningful conversation, especially if one happens to be a product of the Finnish education system where the emphasis on learning Swedish is on (retrospectively thinking ridiculously clearly articulated) Finlandssvenska.
