GALS for the Electronics Hobbyist ... (Read full text)
No, this isn't about picking up girls, you're still on your own there. Instead we're talking about Generic Array Logic devices. The uC Hobby blog posted a good introduction to GALS that explains what they are and what you can do with them. "GALs are the simplest member of the programmable logic family that also includes CPLDs and FPGAs. They are the modern replacement for the one-time programmable PAL devices that were first introduced in the late 1970’s. Unlike PALs, GALs can be erased and reprogrammed many times. An [...]

Talking Robots: Cynthia Breazeal ... (Read full text)
As robots become more autonomous and intelligent they slowly move out of their protected environments in research labs and assembly lines. First signs include the tragic death of a municipal worker killed by an industrial robotic lawnmower as well as the tale of Zoltan and his robot girlfriend. Cynthia Breazeal, founder and director of the Personal Robots Group at MIT's Media Lab, has developed a broad range of robots that interact with humans, including the recently released (and somewhat creepy) humanoid MDS, th [...]

Genetic Search algorithms ... (Read full text)
There are really three basic genetic programming algorithms I like to use out of the box. One’s stupid, one’s (almost) standard, and one’s pretty fancy and effective.

Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (CentOS 5.1) ... (Read full text)
Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (CentOS 5.1) This document describes how to install a Postfix mail server that is based on virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in a MySQL database. I'll also demonstrate the installation and configuration of Courier (Courier-POP3, Courier-IMAP), so that Courier can authenticate against the same MySQL database Postfix uses. The resulting Postfix server is capable of SMTP-AUTH and TLS and quota (quota is not built into Postfix by default, I'll show [...]

Clojure - Lisp dialect on the JVM ... (Read full text)
Clojure is a dynamic programming language that targets the Java Virtual Machine. It is designed to be a general-purpose language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is a compiled language - it compiles directly to JVM bytecode, yet remains completely dynamic. Every feature supported by Clojure is supported at runtime. Clojure provides easy access to the Java frameworks, with optional type hints and [...]

Making Racing Games Fun With Computational Intelligence ... (Read full text)
An interview with Julian Togelius, who recently got his Ph.D. by doing research into computational intelligence (CI) — a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) inspired by biological systems. He has published multiple papers about applying these techniques to video games, notably racing games.
