Got linked to this article today, NoSQL Data Modelling Techniques. I don’t think I’m going to have the time to read it, but I skimmed it, and maybe someone else will be interested. It talks about various data modelling strategies and their implications.

Peter Norvig: What to demand from a Scientific Computing Language

Posted on 2012-04-20 [Friday] by Jay Jay

Doing some research on Peter Norvig (I’m fascinated by the guy and want to know what he thinks) and I found a talk of his: Peter Norvig: What to demand from a Scientific Computing Language. In the talk Peter explains what he wants out of a programming language and why he feels that Python fits the bill.

I watched the whole thing but I think I’ll put it on my TODO list to watch this again one day.

I was just confirming my understanding that JavaScript numbers are 64-bit (i.e. double precision) floats on all platforms and I stumbled upon this old article from Douglas Crockford: A Survey of the JavaScript Programming Language.

Found myself looking up the syntax for CSS overflow. I think I ended up using overflow-y instead to get scrollbars on the y-axis only. I should know more about this stuff than I do. :P
