Bits and pieces
Thursday, February 7th, 2008These are some interesting links I’ve picked up during the past months. Some of them are quite old, so don’t be surprised if you’ve already seen some of them.
Let’s begin with how robots could be looking at humans.
And then a pair of personality related articles: a few things you should know about introverts (that’s me). And also a comparison, if you will, of the Wide/Deep personality types.
I found 10 Attributes of Really Lazy People quite entertaining.
And some reasons as to why I will never get an facebook account. Another, less serious, but still valid view on the same topic.
If you feel like you have too much time on your hans you could always do what this guy did: write a ray-tracing renderer from scratch.
Here’s some interesting views on today’s CS education, though I’ve not personally seen all those changes where I’m studying. It also presents a few things that are important for CS students to learn (more specifically in the programming area).
And at last, a nice explanation as to why writing general applications isn’t always the right choice.
Blog challenge: Hovie clip
Sunday, February 3rd, 2008So, I’ve been challenged by Linnea with finding a clip from a movie whose name starts with the letter ‘H’, so here you go.
Now I challenge ozamosi, and YOU to find a clip from a movie that starts with the next letter in the alphabet, namely ‘I’. The ones you challenge will have to find clips from movies that start with the letter after that (’J'), and so on.
