Ulix OS -- The Literate Operating System edit / delete

As it says. Reading the papers suggests that it's a very incomplete implementation of Unix, unfortunately.

A one week flipped learning environment to introduce Object Oriented Programming edit / delete

"This post describes a teaching activity that is run for the Cardiff MSc. programmes. The activity is revolves around a two day hackathon that gets students to use Python and object oriented programming to solve a challenge. The activity is placed within a flipped learning environment and makes use of what I feel is a very nice form of assessment (we just get to know the students)."

Copy, Shake, and Paste: Homebrew Collusion Detection edit / delete

Scanning for plagiarism (or, rather, repeated text, which I guess would also catch things like university boilerplate as well) in a large corpus of theses.

Software Carpentry edit / delete

Programming for scientists. Their Python tutorials are interesting, although (for my purposes) I prefer the older, more general ones.

Bertrand Meyer's technology+ blog » Blog Archive » Lampsort edit / delete

"Leslie Lamport likes to use the example of non-recursive Quicksort. Independently of the methodological arguments, his version of the algorithm should be better known." This is a nice bit of proper computer science: the basic idea is to describe Quicksort in terms of sets of objects that have yet to be sorted (i.e. sort of the same way you usually describe pathfinding algorithms like A*).

C3TV - Hacking Ethics in Education edit / delete

"At the University of Amsterdam, we have started an ethical committee for the System and Network Engineering Master." Interesting to me because I run the ethics committee for the department I'm in at work (and we're about to pick up a load of security-related student projects). I suspect a follow-up presentation next year might be more interesting, though, since it sounds like they didn't have any ethics framework in place before (?! -- how on earth do they do funded projects?). Comprehensible in audio only.
