I mean, it’s flattering and all, but someday I’d like an identity of my own.

Posted by: meg at November 17, 2002 05:58 PMIs the University of Blogaria currently accepting applications for PhD students?
Posted by: Ryan at November 17, 2002 07:24 PMUBlog has an open admissions program, and (for that matter) an open employment program. It’s radical pedagogy at its most pointless.
Posted by: AKMA at November 17, 2002 08:27 PMActually, what I want to know is how to land one of those coveted faculty appointments. I'm fantasizing in particular about an endowed Chair of Trust Estimation and Exact Theology.
From the sound of it, a PhD is not a strict requirement. This is good, because I'm interminably in the process of finishing it while juggling fulltime job, raising family, and of course writing ye olde blogge.
What is entailed? I fear I don't have a sense of the academic politics. Any advice would be appreciated.

Posted by: Dorothea Salo at November 19, 2002 10:42 AMThis back and forth is an important concept to understand in C programming, especially on the Mac's RISC architecture. Almost every variable you work with can be represented in 32 bits of memory: thirty-two 1s and 0s define the data that a simple variable can hold. There are exceptions, like on the new 64-bit G5s and in the 128-bit world of AltiVec
Posted by: Etheldreda at January 12, 2004 09:13 PMThese secret identities serve a variety of purposes, and they help us to understand how variables work. In this lesson, we'll be writing a little less code than we've done in previous articles, but we'll be taking a detailed look at how variables live and work.
Posted by: Jerome at January 12, 2004 09:13 PMWhen compared to the Stack, the Heap is a simple thing to understand. All the memory that's left over is "in the Heap" (excepting some special cases and some reserve). There is little structure, but in return for this freedom of movement you must create and destroy any boundaries you need. And it is always possible that the heap might simply not have enough space for you.

Posted by: Amie at January 13, 2004 08:52 AMWhen Batman went home at the end of a night spent fighting crime, he put on a suit and tie and became Bruce Wayne. When Clark Kent saw a news story getting too hot, a phone booth hid his change into Superman. When you're programming, all the variables you juggle around are doing similar tricks as they present one face to you and a totally different one to the machine.
