Programmer's blogs...

There was very interesting question on Hacker News, What programming blogs do you read daily?! Well, that's very interesting question so I read some comments to see, maybe there will be those interesting to me too. For the time beeing here is only (a partial) list of links that were mentioned in the comments. And, someone posted a link to a similar (but more restricted) question on StackExchange about PHP and MySQL blogs.

Checked, with comments:

• None yet :)

Yet unchecked/unsorted:

• http://stevehanov.ca/blog/ -- Updates infrequently. Very good programming articles.
• http://duartes.org/gustavo/blog/ -- Updates infrequently. Good articles on Linux and Programming. Start here: http://duartes.org/gustavo/blog/best-of
• http://catonmat.net -- He doesn't update much anymore since he's working on his startup but the archives are still good. Mostly unix tools and CompSci stuff IIRC.
• http://chneukirchen.org/trivium/ -- Curates unix and plan9 articles and some lower level/systems programming stuff with a few other peculiarities sprinkled in.
• http://www.foldl.org/ -- Curated programming/compsci stuff from certain subreddits. Didn't last long, archives still have some gems.
• http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/ -- I actually don't read the articles that often anymore but I scan the titles as if it were a ticker of what's going on in the programming world.

Physics news...

Very interesting news in physics lately. First, there are news about OPERA team repeating experiments (preprint here), this time with a greater precision and with the same results, i.e. neutrinos arrived sooner than expected. Now even those that were skeptical a becoming cautious, that is, everyone is now waiting for MINOS to repeat experiment so that we get independent results. If MINOS confirms OPERA results, that will certainly be revolution! An while I'm at those that are skeptical, I highly recommend blog from physicists Ethan Siegel, I find it very interesting and informative!

Then, there is a news about another breakthrough, in quantum mechanics. Basically, it was believed that wave function represents probability of where particle is. But this new results says that it is actually something that exists as such!

To continue, there is another news about possibility that LHC may have found a crack in modern physics. It's a mystery why matter "survived" while antimatter didn't. Results provided by LHC (more precisely LHCb detector) show that there is a 0.8% difference in decay between matter and antimatter. This is about 8 times more than predicted by the current theories. This results isn't conclusive yet as it has to achieve 5 sigma significance (currently it is only 3). But, there was experiment done earlier by Fermilab that showed the difference about 0.46%. This result had statistical significance of only 3 sigma, but since now there are two independent experiments with the almost same results, this is becoming interesting.

Finally, it seems that the hunt for Higgs boson is closing down, to show does it exist or not.

And while I was reading some comments I found recommendations for several other good physics blogs:

• Quantum diaries
• Resonaances
• Cosmic variance
• Science 2.0

So much interesting stuff... so little time... :(
