A good programmer working intensively on his own code can hold it in his mind the way a mathematician holds a problem he's working on. Mathematicians don't answer questions by working them out on paper the way schoolchildren are taught to. They do more in their heads: they try to understand a problem space well enough that they can walk around it the way you can walk around the memory of the house you grew up in. At its best programming is the same. You hold the whole program in your head, and you can manipulate it at will.That's particularly valuable at the start of a project, because initially the most important thing is to be able to change what you're doing. Not just to solve the problem in a different way, but to change the problem you're solving.Your code is your understanding of the

Orders for U.S Durable Goods excluding transportation equipment increased more than forecast in March, indicating parts of the economy are weathering the housing slump.

A woman got on a bus holding a baby. The busdriver said: "That's the ugliest baby I've ever seen." In a huff, the woman slammed her fare into the fare box and took an aisle seat near the rear of the bus. The man seated next to her sensed that she was agitated and asked her what was wrong. "The bus driver insulted me," she fumed. The man sympathized and said "Why, he's a public servant and shouldn't say things to insult passengers." "You're right," she said. "I think I'll go back up there and give him a piece of my mind."

The Record's Bob Klapisch thinks so:It's not Joba Chamberlain's confinement to the eighth inning. It's not Ian Kennedy's or Phil Hughes' wobbly starts. Instead, it's the offense, which led the major leagues with 968 runs last year but before Tuesday night's 9-5 victory over the White Sox, was averaging just 4.3 runs per game, last in the American League East.What’s wrong? Just about everything: The veterans have either been hurt (Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada) or useless (Johnny Damon and Jason Giambi). Perhaps the most surprising under-performance of the month is coming from Robinson Cano, who signed a four-year, $30 million deal over the winter, and since has sputtered his way to a .173 average.Despite that zero-sweat style of play, Cano has flourished in pinstripes; he batted .342 in 2006

By Tim TyeMy name is Tim. On 1 November, 2007, that's three weeks ago as I wrote this, I was suddenly made redundant. Although I never expected that I would be working for the same company until I retire, the speed at which the job was taken away can be described as nothing but abrupt. In one swift stroke, my whole department was told our services were no longer required. I lost my job. My boss lost his job. My colleague was transferred to another department. We were each given a Separation Package. The company even threw in a 3-month free consultation, so that a career consultant can help us brush up our resume and job-seeking skills.I was with the company for almost ten years, and suddenly I was told that I do not need to come back to work the next day.

This guy is virtually holding contests every month to give away $1000 in cash!

When playing a runner leading away from the base, any infielder has these objectives-catch the runner off the base; make the runner run the full 90 feet to the next base. The latter objective is very important at 2nd, because it is the spot from which a runner can score on a good single. The runner leading away from 2nd usually has the second baseman in his field of vision. If the second baseman bluffs a run for the bag, the runner will see him and start for the base. By the same token, if the second baseman doesn't pay any attention to the runner, he gives the runner an opportunity to stretch his lead. While the second baseman does not always have a good chance to work a pickoff play with the pitcher, he can decoy the runner into such a play for the shortstop. Visualize this: Runner and s

It does not seem fair to hold Christians to a higher moral standard, does it? Morality has nothing to do with supernatural entities, and both Christians and atheists are perfectly capable of operating in a moral way. And yet, it would seem that increased responsibility for Christians is precisely what Billy Graham advocated in this 2006 column.Graham tells a Christian writing to his column,Because you understand more clearly than some people do what God expects of you, in one way you are even more guilty in God's eyes than they are.While Graham rightly concludes that non-believers are hardly free from responsibility for committing immoral acts, he suggests that believers are even more so.You have even less excuse than someone with no understanding of God's Word, because you know what is ri
