The point of capitalism isnt to escape it, it is instead an idealogy that has at its core the private ownership of capital - the means of production - where such production is rewarded by profit. Nearly all countries today embrace it. I thi

I believe the Microsoft wording is correct. The software is free, in that it requires no payment for its use. It is free of cost. It is also clearly open sourced.

The way I stopped smoking after 20 years of 30 a day, was to consciously imagine negative things each time I smoked one (and remembered to do it). I would think of how bad they could taste first thing in the morning sometimes, a mental imag

The original advice was to use nouns to "identify candidate classes", rather than "determine classes". Sadly when confronted with a problem, the majority of programmers can get no further than writing down lots of nouns,

This reminds me of the Complexity Principle, as stated by Dan Ingalls who was responsible for much of Smalltalk ... "If any part of a system depends on the internals of another part, then complexity increases as the square of the size

In terms of object-orientation, then Java, like C++, was not inspired by Smalltalk. Certainly aspects of Smalltalk's execution environment including VM, and supporting language libraries have been influential. According to James Goslin

I would say that blockchain is more that just an immutable ledger. It is a distributed, decentralized immutable ledger. The former (just an immutable ledger) is either relatively trivial, i.e. a linked chain of hashed content, or not really

I also use node-red for my automation needs very successfully. I found IFTTT to be unreliable and limited for my purposes, and node-red has also filled the void left by the closure of Yahoo Pipes.
