Whenever is a programming language which has no sense of urgency. It does things whenever it feels like it, not in any sequence specified by the programmer. Program code lines will always be executed, eventually (unless we decide we don't want them to be), but the order in which they are executed need not bear any resemblance to the order in which they are specified. Variables? We don't even have flow control, we don't need no steenking variables! Data structures? You have got to be kidding. Since Whenever code is not necessarily executed sequentially, lines of code become more like "to-do" lists, which the language interpreter may tackle in any order it likes. Since this makes it hard to ensure that certain required things have actually been done before you do something else that relies on them, there are language constructs to re-assign activities to the to-do list if the...

CentralNotice Petersen graph From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation , search Petersen graph The Petersen graph is most commonly drawn as a pentagon with a pentagram inside, with five spokes. Named after Julius Petersen Vertices 10 Edges 15 Radius 2 Diameter 2 Girth 5 Automorphisms 120 (S 5 ) Chromatic number 3 Chromatic index 4 Fractional chromatic index 3 Properties Cubic Strongly regular Distance-transitive Snark v t e In the mathematical field of graph theory , the Petersen graph is an undirected graph with 10 vertices and 15 edges . It is a small graph that serves as a useful example and counterexample for many problems in graph theory. The Petersen graph is named for Julius Petersen , who in 1898 constructed it to be the smallest bridgeless cubic graph with no three-edge-coloring. [ 1 ...

No Moods, Ads or Cutesy Fucking Icons (Reloaded). Begin #content Begin #main Begin .post Most of you probably know about Turing machines : hypothetical gizmos built of paper punch-tape, read-write heads, and imagination, which can — step by laborious step — emulate the operation of any computer. And some of you may be old enough to remember the Sinclair ZX-80 — a sad little personal computer so primitive that it couldn't even run its video display and its keyboard at the same time (typing would cause the screen to go dark). Peer into the darkness between these artifacts, stir in a little DNA, and what do you get? This hairy little spider right here . A pinpoint brain with less than a million neurons, somehow capable of mammalian-level problem-solving. And just maybe, a whole new approach to cognition. This is an old story, and a popsci one, although I've only di...
