The Four Polymorphisms in C - good coders code, great reuse

The Four Polymorphisms in C - good coders code, great reuse: "When people talk about polymorphism in C they usually mean the thing of using a derived class through the base class pointer or reference, which is called subtype polymorphism. But they often forget that there are all kinds of other polymorphisms in C , such as parametric polymorphism, ad-hoc polymorphism and coercion polymorphism."

First replicating creature spawned in life simulator - physics-math - 16 June 2010 - New Scientist: "When Wade posted his self-replicating mathematical organism on a Life community website on 18 May, it sparked a wave of excitement. 'This is truly ground-breaking work,' wrote a fellow Life enthusiast, Adam Goucher, on the website Game of Life News. 'In fact, this is arguably the single most impressive and important pattern ever devised.'"

APOD: 2010 June 8 - Falcon 9 Launches to Orbit

APOD: 2010 June 8 - Falcon 9 Launches to Orbit: "A new rocket, the Falcon 9, was launched successfully from Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA, last week. The Falcon 9, standing about as high as a 15-floor building, was developed by the commercial SpaceX corporation as a step toward a relatively inexpensive space launch system. Falcon 9's success follows successful launches of the Falcon 1 last year. Pictured above, a movie of the Falcon 9's launch includes an insect, the launch as viewed from far away, and images from the side of the vehicle which include the separation of the lower stage. When topped with SpaceX's Dragon Cargo or Crew capsule, the Falcon 9 may be used to lift satellites and astronauts to low Earth orbit and the International Space Station in the coming decade."
