Software is hard | Eventbug (alpha) Released
by srcmax
This extension brings a new Events panel that lists all of the event handlers on the page grouped by event type. The panel also nicely integrates with other Firebug panels and allows to quickly find out, which HTML element is associated with specific event listener or see the Javascript source code.

Hands-on with an alpha of the Jolicloud netbook distro - Ars Technica
by znarf
In its current form, Jolicloud doesn't really add a whole lot of extra value beyond what you can already get with the Ubuntu Netbook Remix and a few Prism launchers. If you add the Jolicloud APT repository to the sources list in a regular Ubuntu 9.04 desktop install, you can easily install packages for various Prism launchers without even having to bother installing the Jolicloud distro or using its Web service. This gives you roughly the same experience minus the slightly creepy social networking features.
Why Functional Programming Matters
by karlcow
As software becomes more and more complex, it is more and more important to structure it well. Well-structured software is easy to write, easy to debug, and provides a collection of modules that can be re-used to reduce future programming costs. Conventional languages place conceptual limits on the way problems can be modularised. Functional languages push those limits back. In this paper we show that two features of functional languages in particular, higher-order functions and lazy evaluation, can contribute greatly to modularity. As examples, we manipulate lists and trees, program several numerical algorithms, and implement the alpha-beta heuristic (an algorithm from Artificial Intelligence used in game-playing programs). Since modularity is the key to successful programming, functional languages are vitally important to the real world.
