What is the root cause for the decision to end this business? Insufficient income? Costs too high? Cash flow issues - unsustainable inflows vs outflows? Mismanagement or something else?

DCI despite its claims, simply cannot be easily understood by its target audience. It claims to represent a better mental model, but it mostly succeeds in alienating those looking for a better way to model concepts in the world, abstract an

My view is that any non-trivial project should have explicit non-functional requirements relating to security (amongst others). Almost none do. Creation of those written requirements, and ensuring they are fulfilled, requires the use of s

Many thanks for these links. They help. Documentation as a way to attract new users and educate existing ones, doesn't seem to be part of the culture with Pharo.

A big thank-you to Alan Kay for both videos. I found them very inspirational and refreshingly... different. My big takeaway is that we need to not accept the norm - but look to new ways to think, view and do things. We need to challenge o

It is truly sad. However don't shift all the blame to the politicians. You live in a democracy where you the people are responsible for the actions your representatives take. Years of demands for more services, more facilities, more mo

The article mentions that the data shows a huge allocation of resources to education. Why is education publicly funded in the USA, and not left to market forces? Can't that be considered a "socialist" policy?

A government of a country that leads the USA in almost every public measure and index, including democracy, quality of life and life expectancy. Certainly it can't match the USA in prison population, military size, murder rate, or size

The "Let's have some fun", part comes across as slightly condescending to me. Perhaps I'm way too cynical, but my first reaction was that this is a fairly novel way to grow Twitter followers and promote an agenda.

Helpful article thanks. My concern with Go is that it particularly suited to problems in the space of computing, and computer and data science. Like C, suited to systems programming. What I am unconvinced about yet, is how suited it is to p

"Exterminate an entire race" - if your referring to Jews, then it is sad that you adopt Hitler's position that Jews are a separate and distinct race. That position is the start of a slippery slope that ends with them being su

If parties generally cannot afford to defend claims such as this, surely this reflects poorly on access to justice. Justice only available to the rich? How can one claim a state based on the rule of law, if it is not accessible to all in a
