A comic about the different types of attraction one might feel. I saw these floating around on tumblr. These were originally taken from a website about asexuality. Although, I think people who are not asexual feel these regularly too. There’s all kinds of attractions for all kinds of people. Enjoy.

From the PHP development team’s meeting minutes:

4.8 Named Parameters

Issue: The functionality of named parameters was suggested. Named parameters allow you to “skip” certain parameters to functions. If it would be implemented, then it might look like:

function foo ($a = 42, $b = 43, $c =...

"Khan Academy has gained popularity recently with its 3200+ videos on more than just Computer Science. Categories include Math, Science, Finance and Economics, and Humanities. You can create an account if you like and track your progress or surf the videos anonymously. There are also unofficial apps for Android, iOS and a Roku channel.
Coursera offers free courses on a wide range of topics which include Comp Sci, Business, Humanities, Biology, Medicine, Mathematics and Social Sciences. Course duration ranges from 4 -12 weeks and start at various times throughout the year. These classes are hosted by Berkeley, Princeton, Stanford, University of Michigan and University of Pennsylvania.
Udacity has a much smaller set of classes compared to the previous options but their ~10 classes are all geared towards Computer Science. Classes include CS101: Building a Search Engine, CS373: Programming a Robotic Car and CS387: Applied Cryptography. Udacity promises many more classes to come.
I’m currently taking a course offered by Udacity and plan on sampling some of what the other ones have to offer. Possibly an in depth review on the pro’s and con’s of each to follow."

Nevada drivers could soon be sharing the road with vehicles that don’t need them.

Department of Motor Vehicles officials said Monday they’ve issued Google the nation’s first license to test self-driving cars on public streets, after conducting demonstrations on the Las Vegas Strip and in Carson City that show the car is as safe - or perhaps safer - than a human. […]

Don't skip your math classes (...) →

“Matrices are important. Don’t skip your math classes or you’ll just be re-learning it later, like I had to. Perhaps the most helpful operation in this particular endeavor has been transforming world space coordinates to camera space coordinates. An object’s position is essentially a vector from the origin; so turn it into a vector with the origin at the player’s position (therefore, a vector from the player to the object) by multiplying it against the player’s modelview matrix. Normalize the result to get a unit vector. That’s how the targeting system works.”

A game using a change of basis matrix for its targeting system. Interesting.
