atomo
"atomo is a small, simple, insanely flexible and expressive programming language. its design is inspired by Scheme (small, simple core), Slate (multiple dispatch, keywords), Ruby (very DSL-friendly), and Erlang (message-passing concurrency). it is written in and piggybacks on the Haskell runtime, permitting access to all of its power (and libraries!) through a thin layer."

The Concatenative Language XY
XY is a family of array-oriented, concatenative programming languages with first-class continuations. XY 1 has quotations, lists, functions, and patterns. XY 2 is flat. XY 0 has quotations and shuffle-symbols but dispenses with lists and patterns.

[1106.4064] Algorithmic Programming Language Identification
"Motivated by the amount of code that goes unidentified on the web, we introduce a practical method for algorithmically identifying the programming language of source code. Our work is based on supervised learning and intelligent statistical features. We also explored, but abandoned, a grammatical approach. In testing, our implementation greatly outperforms that of an existing tool that relies on a Bayesian classifier."

mojombo/grit - GitHub
"Grit gives you object oriented read/write access to Git repositories via Ruby. The main goals are stability and performance. To this end, some of the interactions with Git repositories are done by shelling out to the system's git command, and other interactions are done with pure Ruby reimplementations of core Git functionality. This choice, however, is transparent to end users, and you need not know which method is being used."

I’ve been meaning to write about it for a while now, but I’ve never really found the time to do so thoroughly, until now. I won’t talk about any of the projects’ details, merely about the branching strategy and release management."

GAP System for Computational Discrete Algebra
"GAP is a system for computational discrete algebra, with particular emphasis on Computational Group Theory. GAP provides a programming language, a library of thousands of functions implementing algebraic algorithms written in the GAP language as well as large data libraries of algebraic objects. See also the overview and the description of the mathematical capabilities. GAP is used in research and teaching for studying groups and their representations, rings, vector spaces, algebras, combinatorial structures, and more. The system, including source, is distributed freely. You can study and easily modify or extend it for your special use."

Couchio - What’s new in Apache CouchDB 0.11 — Part Two: Views; JOINs Redux, Raw Collation for Speed
"Since then, though, CouchDB gained a few new features to tackle the same problem: fetch related data. These aren’t new in 0.11, but they did get refined, so it makes sense to revisit them here. Since 0.10, you could query a view with the query parameter include_docs=true. When specified, CouchDB would fetch, for each row in the view result, the corresponding document from the database. This allows users to make a trade-off between smaller view indexes (and hence shorter view index times) and slower view index (for each row, CouchDB makes a single request to the database)."

Computer Algebra Systems
"In the spirit of sparse representation, we chose to use a syntax tree as the internal data structure for our symbolic calculator. A syntax tree is a kind of tree, which in turn is a kind of linked data structure. Briefly, a linked data structure is an object which contains references, or links, to other like objects. A simple example is a linked list, where each element contains the data for it list entry and a link to the next list element. A tree is a linked structure that starts with a single "root" node. One or more "child" nodes are referenced from the root node, and each of these child nodes may in turn have children of their own. This linking pattern produces a branching data structure, as seen in the following diagram; hence the name "tree"."

Ruby & WebSockets: TCP for the Browser - igvita.com
"WebSockets in HTML5 change all of that as they were designed from the ground up to be data agnostic (binary or text) with support for full-duplex communication. WebSockets are TCP for the web-browser. Unlike BOSH or equivalents, they require only a single connection, which translates into much better resource utilization for both the server and the client. Likewise, WebSockets are proxy and firewall aware, can operate over SSL and leverage the HTTP channel to accomplish all of the above - your existing load balancers, proxies and routers will work just fine."

In the algorithm, we also developed a “forward checking” tech- nique based on a “region dominance” relation to reduce space complexity. We can show that the new algorithm is I/O optimal and requires a logarithmic space in the worst case in the 2D space if there are not many overlapping in R-tree. Further, our experiment demonstrated that the new algorithm requires a much smaller space than the existing I/O optimal techniques, and is progressive in a way sensitive to user’s requirements."

A Wealth Of Ruby Loops And Iterators
"I classify looping and iterating in Ruby into two distinct buckets:

simple ways to loop/iterate – this is where we loop over elements and work with each element as we iterate over it, but we basically don’t need to retain any knowledge of what we did to a particular element once we move on to the next unless we explicitly decide to store some info (this is how the basic loops and iterators operate)
complex ways to loop/iterate – this is where in addition to iterating over elements we transform the elements we are iterating over in some way and retain this information when we complete the loop (this is how more complex iterator-style methods such as map, collect etc. work)"

Guilloches | The Ministry of Type
"There are still some extremely frustrating limitations though. First of these is the resolution of drawing the graph. I’m sure for most graphs the default resolution is fine, but when creating these patterns you need tiny increments. Tiny tiny ones. If the line is going from one side of the graph to the other and back again a thousand times in a couple of radians, you don’t want the graph program to start dropping line segments, or corners, or anything really. Grapher does allow you to increase the resolution, but it’s not sticky - change anything in the equation and it pops right back to the default. Every. Single. Time. The same thing seems to happen with the line thickness too - I wanted all the designs to be at 0.1, but it kept changing it back to 1.0. Frustrating! There are a couple of other UI things I’d change, like having an option to keep axes at 1:1 ratio to each other, even when you resize the window."

"Languages can be split into two components, their syntax and their semantics. It’s your understanding of English syntax that tells you the stream of words "Sleep furiously green ideas colorless" is not a valid sentence. Semantics is deeper. Even if we rearrange the above sentence to be "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously", which is syntactically correct, it remains nonsensical on a semantic level. With Treetop, you’ll be dealing with languages that are much simpler than English, but these basic concepts apply. Your programs will need to address both the syntax and the semantics of the languages they interpret."

Game of Life News
"Dean Hickerson's original block-deleting 2c/3 termination almost certainly wasn't designed with this in mind, but it happens to absorb a double-length signal in exactly the same way as a standard signal -- the final stable state is the same in either case. This means that communication speeds approaching 2c/3 can be implemented over long distances in any direction, not just diagonally.

In the accompanying diagram, the input Herschel signal is circled in red. The output signal can be any of a number of optional glider outputs in the Herschel circuit at the bottom.

Two elbows in a row will not work (there's no known way to turn a double-length 2c/3 signal). But in the absence of layout constraints, a single elbow is sufficient to send a 2c/3 signal anywhere in the universe."

Al Zimmermann's Programming Contests
"Welcome to Al Zimmermann's Programming Contests. You've entered an arena where demented computer programmers compete for glory and for some cool prizes.

I run one or two contests per year. Each contest asks that you come up with your best solutions to a set of related computationally intensive problems. Although I speak of "programming contests", technically you don't need to write a computer program to enter. You can enter whether you use a computer, manual calculations, or tea leaves to solve the problems. You send me solutions, not programs."

Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection
"This page contains a collection of small computer programs which implement one-player puzzle games. All of them run natively on Unix (GTK), on Windows, and on Mac OS X; they can also be played on the web, as Java applets.

I wrote this collection because I thought there should be more small desktop toys available: little games you can pop up in a window and play for two or three minutes while you take a break from whatever else you were doing. And I was also annoyed that every time I found a good game on (say) Unix, it wasn't available the next time I was sitting at a Windows machine, or vice versa; so I arranged that everything in my personal puzzle collection will happily run on both those platforms and more. When I find (or perhaps invent) further puzzle games that I like, they'll be added to this collection and will immediately be available on both platforms."

About - cufon - GitHub
"Cufón aims to become a worthy alternative to sIFR, which despite its merits still remains painfully tricky to set up and use. To achieve this ambitious goal the following requirements were set:

No plug-ins required – it can only use features natively supported by the client
Compatibility – it has to work on every major browser on the market
Ease of use – no or near-zero configuration needed for standard use cases
Speed – it has to be fast, even for sufficiently large amounts of text
And now, after nearly a year of planning and research we believe that these requirements have been met."

Ruby Best Practices - Fun with Class.new
"I think you’ll agree that this second sample induces the kind of familiar sugar shock that Ruby coders know and love. It accomplishes the same goals and actually wraps the lower level code rather than replacing it. But is there some sort of dark magic behind this? Let’s peek behind the curtain:..."

Test Stub at XUnitPatterns.com
"Variation: Saboteur
A Test Stub that is used to inject invalid indirect inputs into the SUT is often called a "Saboteur" because its purpose is to derail whatever the SUT is trying to do so we can see how the SUT copes with these circumstances. The "derailment" can be caused by returning unexpected values or objects, or it can be caused by raising an exception or causing a runtime error. Each test may either be a Simple Success Test or an Expected Exception Test (see Test Method) depending on how the SUT is expected to behave in response to the indirect input."
