RSSThere’s a myth that if we were really good at programming, there would be no bugs to catch. If only we could really concentrate, if only everyone used structured programming, top-down design… then there would be no bugs. So goes the myth. There are bugs, the myth says, because we are bad at what we do; and if we are bad at it, we should feel guilty about it. Therefore, testing and test case design is an admission of failure, which instills a goodly dose of guilt. And the tedium of testing is just punishment for our errors. Punishment for what? For being human? Guilt for what? For failing to achieve inhuman perfection? For not distinguishing between what another programmer thinks and what he says? For failing to be telepathic? For not solving human communications problems that have been kicked around… for forty centuries?

Google tricks worth knowing
Some of that stuff is pretty well-known even outside the circles of the well-informed webizens, but it’s still worth saving because of it’s extensiveness and good formatting.
On the concept of searching for photos people took with their digital cameras using filenames as the basis, there is a webapp utilizing Bing for that: Random Personal Picture Finder.
A Ruby editor in Ruby
A promotional video about Redcar, a Ruby editor written in Ruby (using JRuby as it’s engine). Sure, it isn’t as good as the proprietary editors such as textmate or e, but still does the job and fulfills the paradigm that any language should have a specialized editor written in that same language.
DIY transhumanism
It’s a pretty interesting insight into what can be described as extending ordinary body modification (piercings, tattoos) and something less than “true” transhumanism (augmented reality eyes, prosthetic limbs stronger and better than natural ones). Of course as skeptics point out in the comments, this looks a bit like some post modern performance than true revolution in biomechatronics. To hell with them, new ideas can’t always come from the clean white-lit rooms of corporate R&D labs.
