circa - Introduction

circa - Introduction: "Circa is a language designed for live coding. We’ve built the language from scratch to be a fun, productive language that allows the coder to see the effects of their code in realtime. The runtime takes inspiration from Lisp and Smalltalk, where code is mutable data and the interpreter is heavily introspectable. The syntax is similar to Python and Ruby, but under the familiar syntax is a language with static typing, tamed side effects, and a few interesting tricks. We hope that Circa will be a language of choice for the creative coder."

Principles of User Interface Design

Principles of User Interface Design: "Interfaces exist to enable interaction between humans and our world. They can help clarify, illuminate, enable, show relationships, bring us together, pull us apart, manage our expectations, and give us access to services. The act of designing interfaces is not art and they are not monuments unto themselves. Interfaces do a job and their effectiveness can be measured. They are not just utilitarian, however. The best interfaces can inspire, evoke, mystify, and intensify our relationship with the world."

Thou shalt not commit logical fallacies

Thou shalt not commit logical fallacies: "A logical fallacy is usually what has happened when someone is wrong about something. It's a flaw in reasoning. They're like tricks or illusions of thought, and they're often very sneakily used by politicians and the media to fool people. Don't be fooled! This website and poster have been designed to help you identify and call out dodgy logic wherever it may raise its ugly, incoherent head."

Top 10 DTrace scripts for Mac OS X

Brendan's blog » Top 10 DTrace scripts for Mac OS X: "Standard performance analysis tools like Activity Monitor and top(1) (and any third-party tools based on the same foundation) can’t tell you some key information about activity on your system, such as how much CPU consumption is caused by short-lived processes, or which processes are causing disk I/O. DTrace, however, can see (just about) everything."
