…definitely not going to claim Mr. Bernhardt endorses my misuse of Mr. Turing's standing as a historical figure, for example.
(And by the way, if Destroy All Software picks up new subscribers as a result of this blog post and my new book, which I hope it does, I will not make any money from that. There's no affiliate program going on, unfortunately.)
Second, my book really just uses Mr. Bernhardt's work as a launching point. I feel Destroy All Software provides …

Take a peek at this MIDI controller:
Twelve switches which send MIDI, and two expression pedals which send MIDI. Most people use it to control loop-triggering in Ableton Live.
But it can do more. If you can write code which takes MIDI input, sends MIDI output, and retains the full power of a Turing machine for processing the MIDI in-between, it means that the twelve switches on this box don't just have to give you a total of twelve loops you can trigger.

…The Tyranny of the Clock : The cost of logic and memory dominated Turing's thinking, but today, communication rather than logic should dominate our thinking. Clock-free design uses less than half, about 40%, as much energy per addition as its clocked counterpart. We can regain the efficiency of local decision making by revolting against the pervasive beat of an external clock.

- A Fresh Cup: Double Shot #812
This year's CUSEC theme is " Turing Complete" in honor of 2012 being the 100th anniversary of Alan Turing . He established his place in history as the father of computer science by formalizing concepts like "algorithm" and "computation" with the concept of the Turing Machine , proposing the Turing Test in an attempt to answer the question "Can machines think?", working as a codebreaker at Bletchley Park (I like …
- Giles Bowkett: Programmers: What To Do If You Get Fired
Today I am going to show you how to take almost any function, and treat any size cluster of Turing computers as a specialized purpose SIMD computer with respect to your function. The SQL interface to Shard-Query imposes a wait for all the workers to complete, but you can register a callback function to handle the output of each input asynchronously, if you like.
Right now I believe this only works on finite sets. I've decided to show how to count the number of unique words, an …

I've been reading Coders at Work lately and really enjoying it. Fran Allen is a woman who won the Turing Award for her work on optimizing compilers. She said something interesting. She said that we've been in a rut since C came along because the pointers in C prevent the compiler from doing a lot of interesting optimizations. She said that programming …
