The format of course stays the same: 5 minutes to show off your hack, and 5 minutes for the audience to applaud, cry, laugh, inquiry, snore, chew, stand, sit, dance, grow, interact, etc. But, of course, we hope that the audience provides lots of great feedback and asks interesting questions (probably while sitting, though dancing audience members...

TITLE: 

Go: code that grows with grace

 

ABSTRACT:

One of Go's key design goals is code adaptability; that it should be easy to take a simple design and build upon it in a clean and natural way. In this talk I describe a simple "chat roulette" server that matches pairs of incoming...

I'm thinking maybe we set a date soon to read the first two chapters of Doug Hoyte's Let Over Lambda -- If you don't have a copy yet, the first 6 chapters are available for free online: <a href="http://letoverlambda.com/index.cl/toc">http://letoverlambda.com/index.cl/toc</a> If you want to get a copy of the book...

Recommendation with an Understandable Reason: Collaborative Topic Modeling for Recommending Scientific Articles.
We're excited to have Chong Wang from Princeton at the helm in December. His talk description and bio follow:

Woah! We're back, and the fine folks at <a href="http://generalassemb.ly">General Assembly</a> (no, not the one at Zuccotti Park. Yup, that's the one), who graciously hosted us back in April, are hosting us again.

Doug Tangren from Meetup will demo the Jython Meetup OAuth2 API. Gloria W will demo automatic tweeting via the OAuth2 Twitter API. We have a request to see a Netflix OAuth API demo: <a href="http://developer.netflix.com/docs/Security">http://developer.netflix.com/docs/Security</a> If someone has time to prepare this between...

Scheme is undergoing another revision cycle. Because of widespread dissatisfaction with and resistance to R6RS, the Scheme Steering Committee (Will Clinger, Marc Feeley, Chris Hanson, Jonathan Rees, and Olin Shivers) decided to standardize two Schemes: a small language, the direct successor to R5RS; and a large language, potentially larger than...

&#65279;By now you know the drill, but for anyone new to the show...
5 minutes to show off a piece of hardware, a new programming language, a JavaScript library for building widgets, a Python script that computes the root mean squared error of data about ants(?), or anything else you've done on your own time for fun, rather than
work...

Speaker - Rich Hickey..from Rich "I'll be talking about something new!"
PLEASE, PLEASE...do not RVSP to this event unless you are sure you can make it.

We're
almost a year old, but before we celebrate that feat, let's a warm up!

Hackers -

Clojure for Schemers: We'll examine the Clojure programming language from the perspective of a Schemer. We'll discuss their similarities, differences, and in particular we'll address how Scheme's beautiful recursive style can still be achieved in a programming language that does not have automatic tail-call optimization.

Algorithms are awesome, so come teach us a cool one! Code, visualizations, audio, and physical demonstrations are are encouraged.
As many people as possible will present, no need to sign up for a slot. We're going to try to keep everyone's algorithms to around 5 minutes so we can get more people in.
Pizza and soda will be provided....

Summer of Code planning session!
Come and discuss ideas and plans for summer of code.

This tutorial systematically covers the elements of the Scheme programming language and highlights those of its features that are common to other functional languages.

The format stays the same. 5 Minutes to show off your hack, your library, your visualization, your new programming language, whatever. After those 5 minutes, we the audience, get 5 minutes to pick your brain, give you feedback, tell you that we love it or hate it (we've been very successful so far!).
Other than that, there are 2 rules: No...

Come show us how you've configured your favorite editor and the rest of your environment so you can be more (or less) productive. Any trick and editor is fair game, even if it's not vim.
If you can show us over ssh, there will be a laptop hooked up to the projector ready to go, if not, bring your own laptop and we can do that too.
Just...

&lt;p&gt;You should read the paper below, and then we'll talk about it. Bring your thoughts, questions, etc, and maybe we'll come to a consensus about what exactly it is we read. It's likely that this will take place at Meetup HQ, as that's the easiest place for me to acquire, but I'll post an update confirming or...
