[FRIAM] Which programming languages are fastest? | Computer Language Benchmarks Game

[Owen Densmore]

Latest shootout results.

V8 JS still hanging in there well ahead of all the agile gang
(ruby/python/etc).  C# seems to be loosing ground to hefty Java, but that
could easily be optimization flags.

The python numbers may be unfair: its all python code with no C libraries.
 I doubt many python programs are w/o the python wrappers around C code.

Are you turning this into a book?  Looks great!  Please let us know if/when
you update it.

(BTW, CSSS this year?)

All --

  There is a QR code on the front page of this . . . QR codes are reasonably 
redundant, so you can just plop whatever you want in the middle (as long as you 
don't obliterate too much), and it will generally still work . . .

  Thanks . . .

Neat idea. Here are some
imagesthat
actually scan. I found them with a simple search for "QR Code" on
Google images. The site linked to was on page 8.

I have seen artistic modifications to QR codes - things like the Go board,
but also different colourations across a code, and even logos obscuring
parts of the center (not sure how that works, I guess there is a lot of
redundancy?)
I think the most interesting was a QR cookie (I shall endeavor to find
pictures).

Re: [FRIAM] Disenfranchised? Americans Elect?

[Owen Densmore]

Larry Lessig apparently has two interesting views on AE

1 - Anonymous contributions: He's not bothered by them, mainly because not
even the AE candidates will know who they are, thus not having power over
the candidate.

2 - Occupy AE: If enough of us jump on AE, it could swing it in a favorable
direction.

Just google to find more.

What bothers me most is that many of the initial popular supporters of AE
have not said much lately: Tom Friedman for one.
