I find Swift very bad for churn. Swift has had 5 versions in 5 years, with breaking api changes each time. Every answer on Stackoverflow about Swift has several answers, one for each api version. Any time you grab some Swift code from the w

Linux as narrowly defined as the kernel is very good at not breaking things. Linux as used in common speech to mean a Linux distribution and associated libraries undergoes constant churn. I maintain a cross platform desktop app for Windows,

The country I don't understand how they do it is Bangladesh. A country the size of New York State with 164 million people. (50% of the US population). As I understand it, they generate 90% of the food they require.

When I was injured in 1991, they transplanted nerve sheaths from my leg to my arm with the hope nerves would regrow. Some actually did an I regained some sensation and movement. That was considered pretty good at the time. I wonder how much

I think Java was unique as it was the first language with a major corporation behind it and a large marketing campaign.

I think Lisp failed because it had no killer app. Most developers don't pick a language, they pick a project and the select the most appropriate language. Web frontend -> Javascript Unix / Linux -> C Wordpress plugins ->

I think another thing is that governments have lost a lot of their power and are now somewhat controlled by corporations. This is usually assumed to be a bad thing, but most corporations don't like war, it's bad for business. It d

I've bought more Garmins than Smartphones. I think I've purchased: 3x Edge 305, Edge 500, 2x Edge 810, Edge 820. Garmin has the advantage that their products are much more likely to get lost or smashed. So they get to sell a lot o

They didn't unless they were well off. Only 8% of houses had a computer in 1984. 15% by the end of the decade. C64 was $595 new, if you had one I doubt your family was poor.

I maintain a small library of additional classes for JUCE. I was paid to make some improvements to some of the classes that turned into a small consulting gig. All my consulting work is JUCE based, so having a library of my work is helpful.
