Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jul 19, 2007 3:59pm PDTYes, another new feature showing up in test form is the new download servers on FileShack with support for download managers and new locations. We'll have a technology overview and more info on what we're up to detailed on FileShack in the coming weeks but for now just try it out and see. If you don't have Mercury service, it's available to fuss with on the latest Civ IV Beyond the Sword Demo. So here is this stuff:
- Pricey space vacations :(
- Ultracold
- They solved checkers!
- Landing on Mars
So I posted earlier about learning to program:

So it seems like the consensus is either C or Perl. Perl and/or Python would directly apply in my job, and while I have dabbled in Perl a bit I've forgotten it all. It was very confusing to me, but I wonder if it wouldn't be better for me to start with something I could apply right away rather than learning C to get the core concepts down. I have a feeling learning C first would probably benefit me in the long run.
What is Ruby all about? It seems like a cool language that would be easier to learn, but i can't tell how well it would apply when I went to learn new languages.

1) Declare the cached value to be mutable
or
2) Generate the cache up-front, when the things it depends on are changed
2 has an obvious performance hit if you change the values often during periods where you don't read from the cache, but it also can improve performance by meaning that when you do read from the cache you can just read it, instead of testing whether it is there every time.
