My last post brought up a lot of questions on the differences between document-oriented and relational databases, possible use cases for each and approaches and gotchas one should remember when dealing with either. I had some thoughts on the subject, but they didn't feel complete, so I decided to do some research.

According to the Wikileaks press release, millions of Java source files have been run through a Perl script that removes all 'final' keywords except those required for hacking around the 15-year-old Java language's "fucking embarrassing lack of closures."

Today I'm going to post a paper I wrote on the Deutsch-Josza algorithm a while ago. The practicality of this algorithm may be a bit contrived when observing the problem it solves. However, the problem itself is not of prime importance.
