are. I'm looking for both the general and the specific. I'm
especially looking for features that few people know about or use, but
are really useful for those who do know about them.

Why C Is Not My Favourite Programming
Language
02/10/2004 02:46 AM
Brian Kernighan, the documenter of the C programming language, wrote a
rant entitled Why Pascal is Not My Favourite Programming Language. I
can picture him thinking to himself smugly as he repeatedly strikes
facetiously at Pascal by describing a few of its small flaws over and
over again.
Unfortunately, time has not been kind to Kernighan's tract. Pascal has
matured and grown in leaps and bounds, becoming a premier commercial
language. Meanwhile, C has continued to stagnate over the last 35
years with few fundamental improvements made. It's time to redress the
balance; here's why C is now owned by Pascal. - James Joyce.
James appears to be more fond of PHP than C. No objections there!
And if you don't take it all too seriously, the responses are quite
amusing.

The Perfect Programming Language
The Perfect Programming Language
06/22/2005 01:56 AMBeing Popular:
Here's an extremely long but interesting essay from Paul Graham about
how to design the perfect programming language. He has no plans to do
this, of course, but in considering the question he covers a lot of
ground on why certain languages have thrived and others haven't.
For example:
To become popular, a programming language has to be the scripting
language of a popular system. Fortran and Cobol were the scripting
languages of early IBM mainframes. C was the scripting language of
Unix, and so, later, was Perl. Tcl is the scripting language of Tk.
Java and Javascript are intended to be the scripting languages of web
browsers.
And:
One thing hackers like is brevity. Hackers are lazy, in
the same way that mathematicians and modernist architects are lazy:
they hate anything extraneous. It would not be far from the truth to
say that a hacker about to write a program decides what language to
use, at least subconsciously, based on the total number of characters
he'll have to type.
And of course:
There is one thing more important than brevity to a
hacker: being able to do what you want. In the history of programming
languages a surprising amount of effort has gone into preventing
programmers from doing things considered to be improper. This is a
dangerously presumptuous plan. How can the language designer know what
the programmer is going to need to do?
Something to know: Paul Graham hates
Java, so if you're a Java programmer, prepared to be offended.
(It was a comment to that post by Joe Langeway that led me to this
essay.)

searched the most popular job search engines (monster.com, dice.com,

programming languages mentioned in each listing. Each search engine is
different. As such, a description of the search techniques is also
presented. -- Eric Turner

From this rough guide PHP jobs are about as popular as Ada or Fortran.
Pretty good company for such a young language.
Also if you assume that all web-based programmer jobs require
knowledge of Javascript (1878 jobs), then the percentage of web
developer jobs that require PHP is about 463/1878 = 25%.
If you have more statistical diarrhea, let me know. I have toilet

Swarm Robots and the Freeze-Tag Problem
Swarm Robots and the Freeze-Tag Problem
03/06/2004 02:03 AMThe Freeze-Tag Problem is a common optimization problem when dealing
with swarms of robots. You start out with a swarm of "sleeping" robots
in an arbitrary arrangement. One robot has to wake the swarm. To wake
a
sleeping robot, it must be "tagged" by an active robot.
Once a
robot is awakened, it can assist in waking other robots. The problem
is
figuring out how to wake all the robots as early as possible. In a
recent
paper,
The Freeze-Tag Problem: How to
Wake Up a Swarm of Robots (PDF format), Esther M. Arkin,
Michael A. Bender and
several other researcher do a lot of interesting math that proves the
problem is NP-hard; a result
confirmed by other
studies of the problem.

Anti-identity theft freeze gaining

Anti-identity theft freeze gaining
momentum
08/05/2004 10:18 AMLittle by little, a weapon against identity theft is gaining
currency -- but few people know about it.
It's called the security freeze, and it lets individuals block access
to their credit reports until they personally unlock the files by
contacting the credit bureaus and providing a PIN code. The process is
a bit of a hassle, and the credit-reporting industry believes it
complicates things unnecessarily. But it appears to be one of the few
ways to virtually guarantee that a fraudster cannot open an account in
your name.
The freeze became an option in California and Texas last year, and
Louisiana and Vermont will allow it beginning next July. However, the
Texas and Vermont laws apply only to people who already have been
victimized by identity theft. Only 2,000 Californians and 150 Texans
have taken advantage of the freeze, according to Experian Inc., one of
the three major credit bureaus.
