"Much more interesting than the traditional approach, which seems to be a hybrid of the Microsoft and Google approaches. " - Nielsen - JoeCamel

"Polymath4 is devoted to a question about derandomization: To find a deterministic polynomial time algorithm for finding a k-digit prime. So I (belatedly) devote this post to derandomization and, in particular, the following four problems." - JoeCamel

Predavanje prof. Radmana 2006. na Tribini Gornji Grad (postoji li ta udruga još?). Predavanje je super, govori o kulturi znanstvenog istraživanja, kritičkog i analitičkog razmišljanja (koje bi se trebalo razvijati na sveučilištu) i kreativnog razmišljanja i sinteze ideja što se teže (nikako) uči. Ali se u dobrom okruženju može osloboditi. Prvih 5 dijelova je predavanje, a drugih 5 diskusija. Predavanje završava s porukom "kakvo nam je školstvo danas, takva će nam biti budućnost". - JoeCamel

"Factoring is not a class, it is not even a language. Nevertheless it has some interesting connections to complexity classes that are worth discussing." - JoeCamel

"Node.js might be the most exciting single piece of software in the current JavaScript universe. Ryan received standing ovations for his talk and he really deserved it!" - JoeCamel

"Sve dok nas opsjeda ideološka varka kako su ljudi po prirodi dobri, sve dok se mase ljudi zavode nekim mitskim ili fundamentalističkim vjerovanjem u posebne sposobnosti i vrline za koje nema istinitih dokaza, ljudi će se sukobljavati, ne samo kao pojedinci, nego kao grupe, kao nacije, kao države. Zato mi se čini važnim da ljudi budu svjesni svojih ograničenja, da znaju protumačiti svoje strasti i da --- što je posebno važno --- naučimo živjeti s tim slabostima i strastima, a da ne optužujemo druge za svoje nesposobnosti. Jer, teško ćemo se genetski promijeniti, nećemo sigurno --- ni za deset, ni za tisuću godina. Ljudsku nadu vidim u spoznavanju ljudske gluposti. Ako vjerujemo da smo pametni toliko koliko sebe hvalimo, a stvaramo ovoliko problema koliko ih imamo, onda nam nema nade. Nada je u tome da shvatimo da nismo toliko pametni, ali da smo spremni učiti." Nevolja je što ljudi misle da to shvaćaju, a zapravo su, ironično, žrtve upravo te iluzije. :) - JoeCamel

"Svaki kreativan čovjek, ribar ili znanstvenik, u svom životu iskušava različite postupke. Najčešće ta inovacija nije dobra i odmah je ostavi, a uspješna se zadrži i postaje tradicija. Budući da znamo govoriti i pisati i prenositi pisanu ili izgovorenu informaciju velikim brzinama, kulturna evolucija puno je brža od biološke. Sigurno će nam pomoći da krenemo od osnovne baze podataka o... more... - JoeCamel

"A thread on the lkml started innocently enough about proper spacing in source code, then grew and grew into a somewhat philosophical debate about evolution and code design. The subject of the thread was "Coding style - a non-issue"...." - JoeCamel

"Dear Simon. Actually, you were asking me to design a logotype which would have taken me a few hours and fifteen years experience. For free. With pie charts. Usually when people don't ask me to design them a logo, pie charts or website, I, in return, do not ask them to paint my apartment, drive me to the airport, represent me in court or whatever it is they do for a living. Unfortunately though, as your business model consists entirely of "Facebook is cool, I am going to make a website just like that", this non exchange of free services has no foundation as you offer nothing of which I wont ask for." Regards, David. - JoeCamel

"I was interviewed about Open Source Science recently for Linux Insider. The interview — Open Source Science: A Revolution From Within — was published this morning. I plugged the Life Scientists Room on FriendFeed but, unfortunately, it didn’t make the cut for publication. In fact, there were a number of questions/answeres left out of the final article, so I’ve posted the entire interview below." - JoeCamel
