Knuth: Structured Programming with go to Statements
http://cs.sjsu.edu/~mak/CS185C/KnuthStructuredProgrammingGoTo.pdf

There is no doubt that the grail of efficiency leads to abuse. Programmers waste enormous amounts 
of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and 
these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance
are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature 
optimization is the root of all evil. 

Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3 %.

I'll exclude what you can find easily on Wikitravel:

- The city organizes carnatic music concerts every now and then called
  "kutcheris". Ask a friend interested in music to take you to one.

- It's less cosmopolitan than consumerist than many other cities
  (eg. Bangalore); very few avenues for spending. Avoid the big chains
  (Cafe Coffee Day, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Dominos Pizza etc): you'll
  have plenty of time to check them out in other Indian cities. The
  big weekend activity for a family is going out for dinner: so, check

5 entertaining things you can find with the GitHub Search API

Let's have some command-line fun with curl, [jq][1], and the [new GitHub Search API][2].

Today we're looking for:

• The hottest repositories created in the last week.
• The oldest user accounts with zero followers. (So sad.)
• Issue trends by language.
• Clojure projects defying convention.

If you need to change the hostname that Sendmail announces itself as, just add the following to sendmail.mc:

define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `mail.yourdomain.com')dnl

For example-: Your domain name is www.xyz.com, then

define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `www.xyz.com')dnl
