master of olympic brainwash

«Es waren brillante Spiele für die Athleten»

Mit den Erfolgen im Anti-Doping-Kampf zeigte sich der Spitzenfunktionär des Internationalen Olympischen Komitees (IOC) sehr zufrieden. Die geringe Anzahl von nur sechs positiven Dopingfällen in Peking sei mit dem «engmaschigen Netz» zu erklären, dass das IOC bei und vor den Spielen geknüpft habe.

«Skepsis ja, Verdacht nein», kommentierte Bach die überragenden Leistungen der beiden Top-Athleten. Die Rekordflut von bisher 42 Weltbestmarken sei auf die besondere Motivation durch Olympia zurückzuführen.

«Die Faszination der Spiele hat sich entfaltet. Es war auf jeden Fall richtig, die Spiele an Peking zu vergeben», analysierte Bach weiter, «die Spiele haben einen positiven Effekt gebracht.»

Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years

… and be prepared to suck in the process.

Two excellent – and classic – articles on how to become an expert programmer:

on your way, be prepared to create lots of prime examples of coding horror. below are some of mine.

to put it differently: the best you can do is to suck less as a programmer, year by year. i recently talked to a guy who had lots of architecture knowledge, knew rails’ activerecord inside out, said he counted Scheme as his favourite language, and in general seemed a top coder. it turned out later on he barely could handle simple regular expressions.

(warning, coding horror)
