Four Lessons on JavaScript

asm.js: it's really fast, backwards compatible, and now in the release version of Firefox. "By doing this the result is highly optimized and can be converted directly from this Asm.js syntax directly into ASSEMBLY without having to interpret it, as one would normally have to do with JavaScript" Here is great introduction to asm.js and C++ to js compilation: http://ejohn.org/blog/asmjs-javascript-compile-target

cool. It would be very to make a review of interesting photonic properties we could benefit from nature, and the possible use for space. It's nice to see that some structured can already be replicated...! Is there a structure to give angulaer momentum to light ?

new open source tool from google .... Francesco: of any interest to us?

I don't think so, it is just a code optimizer for JavaScript, unless there are somewhere big JavaScript (web2.0) applications running that is not of much interest for us Other google labs systems e.g. FriendConnect could be useful for Ariadnet, maybe also the visualization and social graph API

and it seems to have some rather big flaws: http://www.pheedcontent.com/click.phdo?i=6a00fd034f6a8cf464e2d9fbb83dc321

of interest for us?

This is related to the "Verified Software" item in NewScientist's list of ideas that will change science. At the link below you'll find the text of the patents being auctioned: http://icapoceantomo.com/item-for-sale/exclusive-license-related-improved-methodology-formally-developing-control-systems :) Patent #7,627,538 ("Swarm autonomic agents with self-destruct capability") makes for quite an interesting read: "This invention relates generally to artificial intelligence and, more particularly, to architecture for collective interactions between autonomous entities." "In some embodiments, an evolvable synthetic neural system is operably coupled to one or more evolvable synthetic neural systems in a hierarchy." "In yet another aspect, an autonomous nanotechnology swarm may comprise a plurality of workers composed of self-similar autonomic components that are arranged to perform individual tasks in furtherance of a desired objective." "In still yet another aspect, a process to construct an environment to satisfy increasingly demanding external requirements may include instantiating an embryonic evolvable neural interface and evolving the embryonic evolvable neural interface towards complex complete connectivity." "In some embodiments, NBF 500 also includes genetic algorithms (GA) 504 at each interface between autonomic components. The GAs 504 may modify the intra-ENI 202 to satisfy requirements of the SALs 502 during learning, task execution or impairment of other subsystems."

maybe but windows only :-( ...

Travel back in time and play with the original Windows 3.11. back when using a computer still meant loading EMM386 in your config.sys ;) Remember that expensive big box of hardware you were so proud of? Now the whole thing is simulated in your browser. Using JavaScript. And still runs faster. This is a collection of curated Windows 3.x software, meant to show the range of software products available for the 3.x Operating System in the early 1990s.

Awesome :) It's even got skifree!
