Brainfuck is an esoteric programming language noted for its extreme minimalism. The language consists of only eight simple commands and an instruction pointer. Nevertheless, it was shown to be Turing-complete.

It is designed to challenge and amuse programmers, and was not made to be suitable for practical use. It was created in 1993 by Urban Müller. The language's name is a reference to the vulgar term "brain fuck", which refers to things so complicated or unusual that they exceed the limits of one's understanding. History[edit] In 1992, Urban Müller, a Swiss physics student, took over a small online archive for Amiga software.[1] The archive grew more popular, and was soon mirrored around the world. As Aminet grew, the compiler became popular among the Amiga community, and in time it was implemented for other platforms.

February 3, 2011 / Travel and places / 0 comments This series of pictures shows a Hashima Island which is one of the Japanese uninhabited islands. The island was populated from 1887 to 1974 as a coal mining facility. After the mine was closed the island was abandoned. The first part of photos is from 1974 when it was still populated. And the second one shows the deserted island. Hashima is one among 505 uninhabited islands in the Nagasaki Prefecture about 15 kilometers from Nagasaki itself. The island was populated from 1887 to 1974 as a coal mining facility. Index | owl project :: Slow down, get smart. Thinking inside the box You’d think promoting counter-urgency in business would be as popular as a middle-of-the-night-car-alarm-wake-up-call.

Do a news search on “slow and business” and you get nothing but misery, pain, and frustration. Don’t we associate slow with failure, inefficiency; and perhaps worse — laziness? Speed worship We love speed. We have speed dating, speed networking and fast food. Microsoft tells us to “Do more, faster.” The defining realization of time-compression for Carl Honoré, author of In Praise of Slowness, came when he discovered the one-minute bedtime story for children.

Time poverty Many of us complain of not having enough time. Efforts to speed up often backfire. Seth Godin wrote on his blog recently that inbound customer service agents are rewarded for getting rid of customers fast. James Glick, author of Faster, The Acceleration of Just About Everything, says time is used as a status symbol. Question: Where do all these extra hours come from? Part 2. Text Ascii Art Generator. ASCII Art for Facebook, MySpace, etc. - text-symbols. Create yourowntext artsusing Blocky Text art, also called ASCII art is one of arts enabled by computer age. It's about making text pictures with text symbols. As we now live in informational societies, I bet you've already encountered those ASCII-painted pics somewhere on Internet. I noticed that visitors of my site like artful text pictures. People have been putting text images composed of symbols into comments on my pages since the first FB comment box stood the source of my website years ago.

So I decided to make a collection of these cool arts. The wast majority of text art pictures in here were submitted as comments by surfers just like you. Note, that text pics were made to look fine in Lucida Grande, Tahoma and Verdana fonts, which are default on Facebook.

Monika Redzisz i Monika Bereżecka/Zorka Project) Jeżątka, które mam teraz, to jesienne sieroty, zbyt małe do procesu hibernacji, niemające wystarczająco dużo tłuszczyku. W zeszłym roku ze względu na ciepłą jesień mieliśmy drugi miot jeży o dwa miesiące za późno. Zimę przeżyły tylko te maluszki, którymi się ktoś zaopiekował. Reszta wymarzła - rozmowa z Andrzejem Kuziomskim, założycielem pierwszego w Polsce ośrodka rehabilitacji jeży Jak to się stało, że zaczął opiekować się pan jeżami? Wcześniej jeździłem w kurierce rowerowej i widziałem ogromne ilości przejechanych jeży - wszędzie, nawet w środku miasta.

Inne zwierzęta też wpadają pod koła. No tak. Jak wynika z badań brytyjskich sprzed czterech lat, w roku 2025 nie będzie już w Europie jeży. Reszta artykułu dostępna dla naszych prenumeratorów Wypróbuj już od 0,99 zł za pierwszy miesiąc.

ICT Graphics Lab. The Graphics Lab at the University of Southern California has designed an easily reproducible, low-cost 3D display system with a form factor that offers a number of advantages for displaying 3D objects in 3D. The display is: autostereoscopic - requires no special viewing glasses omnidirectional - generates simultaneous views accomodating large numbers of viewers interactive - can update content at 200Hz The system works by projecting high-speed video onto a rapidly spinning mirror.

As the mirror turns, it reflects a different and accurate image to each potential viewer. Our rendering algorithm can recreate both virtual and real scenes with correct occlusion, horizontal and vertical perspective, and shading. While flat electronic displays represent a majority of user experiences, it is important to realize that flat surfaces represent only a small portion of our physical world. This surface spins synchronously relative to the images being displayed by the projector. Josh Blue s4 ep1 Last Comic Standing [PL]

Tourists. CMU Sphinx - Speech Recognition Toolkit. Afflicted: 11 Abandoned American Hospitals and Asylums “Open” for Exploration. With some of the most disturbing and tragic histories of any buildings in the US, asylums and hospitals are way beyond creepy . Many of them were built in the late 1800s, when “mental illnesses” (such as masturbation, menopause, and teenage rebellion) were considered dangerous enough to lock someone in an asylum. A pain-inflicting misunderstanding of mental illness combined with a chronic mistreatment of its sufferers meant that many people were never released and spent the remainder of their lives in these horrible institutions. In addition to asylums, many sanatoriums were constructed around this time to care for the poor and very sick.

Utilizing radical treatments that were incredibly painful yet ineffective, early hospitals often created more suffering than good for the inflicted. To make matters worse, infectious outbreaks forced patients to be quarantined from the rest of society, further isolating them. If you decide the risk is worth the reward, we didn’t send ya. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Pentagram Lacing. Notes: • If the crossovers of the laces are carefully woven as shown, the centre of the pentagram will have all the "overpasses" running clockwise, which helps to maintain the shape more securely. • This lacing works best with thinner or flat laces because several eyelets have to accommodate two passes of shoelace. • These diagrams are drawn with the pentagrams fairly symmetrical and centered.

Running the horizontal sections through different eyelets will change the proportions of the five points. • On shoes with a tongue centering loop, the top point can be run through that loop to eliminate the upper "rung". Same goes for an inverted pentagram on shoes with a lower centering loop. Both variations can be seen in the photo at right (which can be enlarged in the gallery below.) • Although I haven't yet created diagrams for fewer than five eyelet pairs, it is possible to create a pentagram using four eyelet pairs, or an inverted pentagram using as few as three eyelet pairs.

Srikumar Rao: Plug into your hard-wired happiness | Video on TED. Designing The “World Of Programming” Infographic - Smashing Magazine. Advertisement Information graphics (or infographics) are used to display information in ways that are more creative than plain old text. These days, they surround us in the media, published works, road signs and manuals. Lately, the Internet has been flooded with infographics on various topics, ranging from science and technology to society and culture. In this article, we’ll look at the process of designing an infographic about programming. What the Infographic Shows This infographic exhibits pioneers in the field of programming, along with the history and current statistics of various programming languages.

Large resolution view (.jpg, 2 Mb) Fewness Of Words All of the pioneers in this infographic have had a big impact on the field of programming. You might also notice that some important algorithms — such as dynamic programming, brute force and hash tables — are missing.
