I think lots of programming languages are been created, and the vast majority of them fall into obscurity, but some have nice features and grain a bit of traction, which is what is happening right now with Nim. If you forgive me the compari

I notice that four of the seven authors with the smallest vocabulary are writing theater (Moliere, Shakespeare, Racine, Corneille). I think it's not a coincidence, because writing in rhymes must be a hard constraint in the choice of wo

I am wondering if we could predict those events, and then launch a space probe similar to Voyager I and II that would be hooked in the alien star's gravity and orbiting around it while it travels in the Milky Way, which would be a some

I am French, and honestly I can't remember a time when the knowledge of Latin helped me with something, and my undergraduate degree had a small component of literature (like two hours a week) so I had to study a bunch of classical Fre

Do you think someone who is familiar with git wouldn't be able to be productive with svn in more than one day (while doing other tasks of course)? Getting familiar with the code base takes much longer than picking up C# if you have a

Wow, that's really silly. And they wrote the Java code without telling anybody? Maybe they chose Java on purpose to get some maintenance contract from your company.
