Last week, I was writing some C code which used a struct that contained, among other members, an array of strings, and I wanted to initialize an array of these structs for use elsewhere in the code. My initial attempts failed with compiler messages that I’d never seen before, so instead of taking the easy […]

Colin and I came up with three lines to stick at the top of a bash script that’ll run the C preprocessor over the script before running it. See all the sordid details at his blog. Totally going to make my next UNIX Programming assignment use this trick.

Important implementation information! “Write a program that find a near optimal solution to the Rubic’s cube.” Dodgy grammar and spelling aside, this makes my plan of attack much narrower in scope. Now I don’t have to figure out whether he wanted a program, or a printed mathematical algorithm, or a machine that physically solves a […]
“Find a near-optimal solution to the Rubik’s Cube.” More as I figure out exactly what that means and how to do it.
I think perhaps the most elegant expression of what this floor stood for this semester was found on the large RA whiteboard a few days ago.
So, at about 4:30 AM last night, while very slowly working on an archaeology paper, I glanced over to the phone and noticed something interesting: it was displaying an HTML document.
