The Myth of Superman “For Superman, it's mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent thats the disguise the thing he aspires to, the thing he can never be. He really is that hero, and he will never be one of us. But we love him for trying. We love him for wanting to protect us from everything, including his own transcendence. He plays the bumbling, lovelorn Kent so that we regular folks can feel, just for a moment, super.”

D-Bus Tutorial “D-Bus is designed for two specific cases:
* Communication between desktop applications in the same desktop session; to allow integration of the desktop session as a whole, and address issues of process lifecycle (when do desktop components start and stop running).
* Communication between the desktop session and the operating system, where the operating system would typically include the kernel and any system daemons or processes.”

A History of Decision Tables “Tables are easy to read and can convey more information in a smaller space and clearer format than flowcharting, pseudo-code, narratives and other conventional documentation techniques. They are also easier for both analysts and users to construct and alter than conventional system analysis techniques. The non-analyst user can be given an empty decision table and be asked to fill it out himself. He can provide information to the systems analyst which would normally require intensive interviews and a great deal of time to obtain.
Tables can be used to automatically generate source code in any programming language which supports if/then/else or switch/case control constructs. While the time saved by generating code would be worth the effort of learning decision tables, there are other benefits.”

The idea of constructing a building which could be a symbol of the "imminent triumph of communism" in the capital of the world's first state of workers and peasants was mooted in the 1920s.”

C is Predictable
An introduction to Ruby/DLX “Now, you can obviously use these great libraries by writing a binding for it in Ruby. This has the advantage that it is fast, however, it requires you to maintain the binding. This means that the binding needs to be updated whenever you or some upstream party updates the C library. This is a real pain, and it also requires you to deploy the updated binding to all the target machines. Because the bindings are written in C, this requires compilation which is not all too great, especially if you consider that ruby is an interpreted language. Part of the fun of programming in ruby is that you don't need to recompile. Wouldn't it be great if you could just import C library calls in Ruby directly ?”

CodeProject: Parsing and Grammars
HAL “Traditionally, desktop applications discovered hardware by talking directly to the operating system kernel (the kernel maintains the list of devices attached to the system). This is a tedious process and is not exact because sometimes the kernel doesn't know everything about a device. For example, some digital cameras and portable music players show up as just another hard disk in the user interface. Thus, not many user interfaces have been built for hardware discovery.
With HAL, all the interesting information about certain classes of hardware is easily accessible in a well-defined format. When a new device is added to the system, an asynchronous signal is broadcast on the system message bus detailing what kind of device was added.”
