Clover Beh, signori, qui si stanno facendo su quattro stracci per partire alla scoperta dell’Irlanda. In realtà la partenza è fissata per giovedì, ma non si sa mai. In attesa del racconto al mio ritorno, potete respirare un po’ di atmosfera Irlandese gustandovi un libro inglese (“La scoperta dell’Irlanda di bar in bar”, Pete McCarthy, tit.orig.”McCarthy’s Bar”, grazie Elena, grazie Sara) e bellissima musica folk lumbà rd (Davide Van De Sfross, grazie Mario) che per le sue assonanze celtiche dà inquietante fondamento a teorie etniche padane, ben più di quanto abbiano fatto i Modena City Ramblers.

maith craic a tutti!

Another effective [debugging] technique is to explain your code to someone else. This will often cause you to explain the bug to yourself. Sometimes it takes no more than a few sentences, followed by an embarrassed “Never mind, I see what’s wrong. Sorry to bother you.” This works remarkably well; you can even use non-programmers as listeners. One university computer center kept a teddy bear near the help desk. Students with mysterious bugs were required to explain them to the bear before they could speak to a human counselor. – B. Kernighan & D. Pike (in “The Practice of Programming” pp. 123)
