Leveraging the millions of man hours that goes into these run-time's subsystems is starting to become a "thing" I've noticed -- especially when running code not meant for them. For example, there's a Nintendo Switch

Babylon 5 was such an incredibly uneven production. There's award winning makeup production, combined with the worst 90s daytime TV soap level of taste in set design and fashion. The feeling I get from the show is that it is absolutely

If I were a space alien and had never heard of prog rock before, and only had a description to go off of, it would sound like everything I'm into in music -- avant-garde, philosophical, highly technical, etc. But then I actually hear i

I remember a story about the dome on the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flower (the Duomo in Florence) -- the first and largest unsupported dome in the world in over a thousand years, built before the discovery of the Americas and on a stru

That's interesting, I usually find people talking/singing in a language I even partially understand to be highly disruptive to my coding/writing work. It sort of short-circuits my language centers. I wonder if people locate d

I usually find anything that overly activates my language centers to be a problem. So singing in English? no way. Singing in a language I don't know? Could work depending.

I have no idea why Richard focuses on such things but: I'm old enough to remember when developers spent time making sure they could plow all of their build assets into a single binary distributable. It often had kind of a zest to it an
