A Functional View of Join, by Martin Odersky, Christoph Zenger, Matthias Zenger and Gang Chen. “Join calculus, usually presented as a process calculus, is suitable as a foundation of both sequential and concurrent programming. We give a new operational semantics of join calculus, expressed as a reduction system with a single reduction rule similar to beta reduction in lambda calculus.” I wish I saw that earlier…
Junebug: A Nice Little Wiki, What Can I Say, this time in Camping.
Sun is considering GPL for OpenSolaris, that’s great because of: ZFS, DTrace, and watching Schily bite into his ass.

Web 2.0: Werkzeuge für die Wissenschaft?, Folien von Jörg Kantel.

Maybe in Java, sorry, but monads like that are horrible. :-P
10 Things I Wish I Had Never Believed, good points.
Google Earth in 4D, “Google skipped right past the third dimension and landed directly in the fourth (time) by offering historical maps on Google Earth.”
Funnel is a programming language based on Functional Nets. Functional Nets combine key ideas of functional programming and Petri nets to yield a simple and general programming notation. They have their theoretical foundation in Join calculus. Sounds like a really cool language.
YCR2JS, a Converter of Yhc Core to Javascript, very neat.
Impact of GPL’d Java on XML, by Kurt Cagle. “[I]ts unlikely that you’ll see any such Java tools distributed much before mid-next year at the earliest, and that it may take some time thereafter before Java begins to seriously regain ground its lost to lighterweight frameworks, especially in the web arena.”
In Defense of Difficult Clients, by Rob Swan at A List Apart. “Only by being made to question our own beliefs can we prevent them from becoming dogma—and difficult clients certainly ask plenty of questions.”
Super-Easy Blendy Backgrounds, by Matthew O’Neill at A List Apart. “Create a PNG that’s blended from transparent to white, use it as a background image, and rely on the background-color style to provide the other half of the blend.”
‘Beta’ Is Not an Excuse, John Gruber says. “Released software that is labeled “beta” is still released software, and is fair game for the same level of criticism as any released software.”
Installing the Zune… sucked, what Microsoftish utter crap…
One day
It will happen
One day, one day
It will all make sense
One day, one day
You will blossom

Russell’s teapot was an analogy first coined by the philosopher Bertrand Russell, to refute the idea that the onus lies somehow upon the sceptic to disprove the unfalsifiable claims of religion.
