STM32F4DISCOVERY - STMicroelectronics

"Non- human animals, including all mammals and birds, and many other creatures, including octopuses, also possess [consciousness-supporting] neurological substrates". Cool.

An argument against call/cc

http://okmij.org/ftp/continuations/against-callcc.html

This kind of explains call/cc to me. It seemed horribly inefficient. Turns out it *is* horribly inefficient and you can make it more efficient by limiting its power (the delimited vs undelimited distinction).

Random Observations: Analysis vs Algebra predicts eating corn?

Interactive Tutorial of the Sequent Calculus

http://logitext.ezyang.scripts.mit.edu/logitext.fcgi/tutorial

I mean this makes sense, but it doesn't explain *why* this particular set of symbol-shunting rules, which can prove statements adhering to a different set of symbol-shunting rules, is worth using.
