My favorite demo is by Michael Shermer (after 9 minutes): https://www.ted.com/talks/michael_shermer_why_people_believe...
Today's announcement means more translations in European languauges.
It's not a course where you learn how to implement algorithms, but a general introduction to the concepts and problems that typically are treated under the label 'AI'.
That is what I gave my mom when she asked what she could try programming on. It features a simple whole window editor/repl where you can get straight into business.
What failed was the supporting literature. I thought Realm of Racket would have been ideal for self-study but it did assume more background than she had...

It's been a while since a tech book gave me such enjoyment. In an age when when word innovation typically is used to mean "I duck-taped these two turds together" it is great to encounter real novelty in tech.
The book makes the wonder of blockchain easily approachable if you have some background in CS and takes some nice excursions to topics like elliptic crypto.
Less free, more rooted in traditional tonality, yet playful and creative.
I've wanted to have a code dog for a long time. I'd invite the bug hound over and explain my code to it.
The amount of greetings and happy wishes on one random winter day greatly amused him.
Any ideas on if this was recorded?
This may affect interoperability between languages positively. Currently JVM languages interoperate nicely with Java but advanced non-java-like features between other JVM-based languages do not match so well (can you pass a ruby block from JRuby to Scala?)
I think it was Neal Gafter who raised this as a good reason for closures in Java, but I could be mistaken.
ActiveMQ with active-backup setup over shared disk mount is the current choice, and the start-up is really slow if the queue has a lot of data.
RabbitMQ does not persist messages in HA fashion, so I've ignored it so far. Maybe HornetQ needs some attention.
I see a lot of flexibility and feature-richness in the queue landscape and it perplexes me that getting this simple combination of basics right is so difficult.
Quite a few of those who voted yes added comments about the yes being on technical merit, not licensing.
