I had a great time at NYC Code Camp this last weekend. About half the people in my talk already knew F# and were there to talk about Type Providers, the other half just came to see what this F# thing was all about. This post is to help those in the second[...]

Why so many monitors? I used to have the same kind of layout on my home computer while at the university by using X11. You have virtual desktops (not to be confused with the software) or workspaces. The same concept on mac os x differs significantly from[...]

Inspired by the minimalists I tried this out on the arduino: int speakerPin = 11; void outp(byte value) {     analogWrite(speakerPin, value); delayMicroseconds(200); } void setup() {     pinMode(speakerPin, OUTPUT);     // Set up Timer 2 to do pulse width[...]

Background Back in 2004, I was doing some code-generation work as part of the OBIWAN project. When I started, CodeDom was being used to do the work, but I really didn’t like it because it made the generator code very hard to read and modify. Realisticall[...]

By default, tuples, discriminated unions and records have what is known as structural equality – i.e. if two instances of these types have the same set of values then they are considered equal, just like value types – despite being reference types: Tuples[...]
