If I give you $1379.87 do you know the minimum number of notes and coins you could get? Then you are an excellent programmer.

Sublime is all I need. I'll build everything else.

I've been programming for a billion seconds since the timestamp was in 500 M. Good ol days with Turbo Pascal and Clipper Summer 85, now it's all about Swift and Kotlin. Time flies.

No, not a coin, it would be dollars, euros or whatever local currency. The blockchain is to keep track of the books in the public eye. The pool of money is there until its depleted for the month with a cap of 10% per user, or it would rollo

What if a thousand people get together and put $100 each in the blockchain in order to cover emergencies for the unlucky 10% that may need aid in times of distress? A society can't function if more than 10% of the population is in dist

Absolutely, the executive needs CPAs and MBAs, the legislative needs lawyers, the judiciary needs judges and to be honest that's the only one where meritocracy permeates, just add a little randomization instead of handpicking, that&#x2

If you are going to build a bridge are you going to hire an engineer or a cook? Now if you're going to create laws would you hire someone who has studied roman, germanic, sharia law since the times of Hammurabi, philosophy, sociology,

If your job is to create laws, then you must be an expert in that field. So the pool of candidates should be meritocratic in its nature, like a Law School degree and at least 10 years of experience plus 2 in public domains. Then you can ran

I am in my fifties with over 30 years programming experience and proficient in 20 languages yet one employer rejected my application because I didn't meet their requirements and they found a better fit. I work fifteen hours a day, can&

Ok, here is a cheap shot of a dream. Future cities like mega malls with a thousand shops facing inside and a thousand homes facing outside, one to one. Roads would be marbled floors and cars would be electric scooters with a basket enough t

Never as long as anybody can freely compete. Once you can't compete, no matter how big or small, a monopoly is born.

I've always said that's stupidly annoying stopping me from installing apps on my own phone or on my relatives and friends as long as I do it manually using an USB cable. Also stopping beta apps from running after a week. My macOS

Boring. I'll tell you a little secret, Java is the number one programming language in the world just because it is used by millions of programmers for Android apps and a few enslaved programmers in corporate gulags. Once Kotlin takes t

Not if, but when, and I'd say real soon. It will burst back to $500 and then slowly up to current levels. Rinse, repeat.

I wish we could start prosecutions like Nuremberg's once we topple the Venezuelan regime that has brought so much misery to our country. It is unbelievable how so many corrupt politicians are living large around the world and no countr

I will make a prediction so I can come back and make fun of myself in a month. It is a bubble and it will pop real soon going down back to $500 bringing down all the alts with it, then it will slowly go up again at a normal pace for the nex

I'd like to see public competitions between two AI giants like Google and IBM. Now that would be an interesting ongoing race for AI superiority.

That's exactly what I think. Nobody trusts Oracle and want to move away from Java no matter what it takes. See Kotlin. I hope he creates a Kotlin/Swift evolution, I am already in love with both of them.

How about communities, forums, boards? When I see an interesting project I'd like to talk to the developer without cluttering the Issues section. It could be the entry point of every repo, moderated by the owner of course (something l

What would Steve Jobs do? A Mac Nano for $99 to compete with the Raspberry Pi. A Mac Mini for $199 to spread the love of OSX. An iPhone mini for $199 to spread the love of iOS. A 60" Apple TV (yes, with screen) with an iPod like remote

The Next TV. I firmly believe the next wave of technology will hit our TVs. The final nut has been cracked and that is the remote. Typing on a TV is the worse and voice won't help, so a dual touch/keyboard piece of glass is all ne

Apple is underplaying Siri and they should morph her into a full fledged TEXT search engine. I rarely use voice to make any search on my laptop but text would be the perfect input mechanism for Siri integrating her with all apps, the web, a
