Lazy evaluation The benefits of lazy evaluation include: Performance increases by avoiding needless calculations, and error conditions in evaluating compound expressionsThe ability to construct potentially infinite data structuresThe ability to define control flow (structures) as abstractions instead of primitives Lazy evaluation is often combined with memoization, as described in Jon Bentley's Writing Efficient Programs.[4] After a function's value is computed for that parameter or set of parameters, the result is stored in a lookup table that is indexed by the values of those parameters; the next time the function is called, the table is consulted to determine whether the result for that combination of parameter values is already available. If so, the stored result is simply returned. If not, the function is evaluated and another entry is added to the lookup table for reuse. The opposite of lazy evaluation is eager evaluation, sometimes known as strict evaluation. History[edit] Applications[edit] Python

Eco-friendly Gallery | Environment Team The Future Of Work Is Play Humans love games. Just check the current news cycle for evidence: The Xbox 360’s sleek, new controller-free gaming device, Kinect, is the fastest-selling consumer electronic product ever. Foursquare has attracted millions of badge-seeking users and aspiring “mayors.” And new programs like Quest to Learn are bringing game dynamics into our educational system. What is it about games that makes them so appealing? What’s the most basic definition of a game? I’m partial to the definition put forth by Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman in their book Rules of Play: A game is a system in which players engage in an artificial conflict, defined by rules, that results in a quantifiable outcome. What are some examples of how I could use the power of games to keep myself motivated during a long, personal project (say, making a documentary film)? The trick here is to turn a long experience that has very limited feedback into something that is broken up into smaller and more rewarding chunks.

Import and Export Bulk Data by Using the bcp Utility (SQL Server) This topic provides an overview for using the bcp utility to export data from anywhere in a SQL Server database where a SELECT statement works, including partitioned views.

Why the future of work is play - TNW Industry Is this what you look like right now? You’re not alone. But it doesn’t have to be like that. On Friday at the annual PSFK conference in New York City, Founding Partner and CEO of Undercurrent, a digital strategy firm and author of Game Frame Aaron Dignan took the stage to discuss why the future of work is play. For years, society has polarized “play” and “work,” associating the former with laziness and the latter with grave importance. “There’s a clear difference in emotion, sensation and engagement when people are engaged in gaming because it’s rich in structure and there’s a reward. Why aren’t people doing what they want to do and why aren’t they engaged at work? Real life is full of unstructured spaces and in contrast, games are incredibly structured experiences. Why? “If you’re not playing you’re not learning,” says Dignan. This weekend, my parents picked me up from the train station in Boston. In the U.S., there have been 27.2 millions units sold of the Wii.

Kidsruby.com Bicycle Maintenance Guide and Riding Tips This page was last updated 24 May 2007. I often get asked about bicycle maintenance and repairs, and tips for how to ride efficiently. This little manual is intended as a summary of what I have learned over the years. Global Pulse Twitter is a remarkable tool to analyze information diffusion, and investigate social patterns and trends. In June 2011, Abdur Chowdhury and his team at Twitter posted a few visualization experiments covering the volume and worldwide scale of Twitter messages during the devastating earthquake in Japan on March 11. As they stated on the original post: "During major events, people use Twitter to share news and thoughts with friends, family and followers around the world. To better understand this diffusion process, Abdur and his team created two video clips. The second one is from a clip displaying worldwide retweets of Tweets originating in Japan for one hour after the earthquake.
