I had very similar idea about 13 years and it festered for years due to lack of time and fact it was originally implemented in Scala + Swing. The concept is similar user must write code to solve problems involving a "rover" on a g

The fact that the most common denominator for publishing an application to reach the maximum user base is a web application is kind of a depressing one to developers. We know that to reach a maximum user base that we need to ship using bloa

Read a sci-fi book recently with that being a central plot point. Reasonably advanced species unable to escape the gravity of its home world. There is also a dearth of fissile material in the solar system that prevent a "nuclear option

I find these web desktop idea interesting but a solution looking for a problem. Part of me wants to post the Batman slapping Robin meme with Robin saying "Maybe I should develop a web desktop that runs in the browser"

Is the ideology of people living in a certain area really that much of a factor in the economic success of that area? Or is is the more the other way around. A location that has attractive geography or abundance of some resource leads to

People living and interacting in close quarters require more "refereeing". Usually in the form of government, but can be something like neighborhood home owner's associations. Referees are never popular. Working from home ca

I didn't even do that well in high school (U.S.), but did score well enough on the ACT to get admitted to a good STEM university where I repeated the process of just doing enough to get by while seeing some high school higher achievers

Watching Peacock's "Mrs. Davis" makes me think of this movie. Albeit, it is very whimsical take on the aftermath of an AI taking over the world with main character being a nun. Would love to see a more up to date remake of &q

I just tried to find footage of a TV commercial of a women talking to an intelligent "agent" on her computer. The agent was autonomous enough to be in the process of finding her tickets to some event. I seem to recall there was ma

Seem that such corruption starts very innocuously. I remember police officer acquaintances saying being a cop means you can always use that fact to never get a speeding ticket. I never felt that they were shady people I think they are like

The subpopulation that uses alcohol to deal with life stress likely skews male and more conservative. I recently had a conversation with late '20s guy from a small town in Illinois who said guys in his town at any point in time were ei

I have some basic ideas that I have implemented in multiple languages. I think of them as "Rosetta Stone" projects: - Bowling score - More of an exercise than a project. - Sudoku solver - Also an exercise, but could be more with a

Started out interesting but devolved into a anti-"woke" soapbox. Can you prove that attention to diversity negatively impacted companies? The only evidence here seems to be more of a correlation-causation fallacy Sure one can over

Hopefully, the "stop showing me this ad" feature gets fixed. I'm tired of always being presented with an ad for the "Dixie Store". No, I don't want to shop for Confederate flags and other garbage.

Within the enterprise it seems that a lot of application used in internally are better suited to be used within a browser. For example, CRUD type applications like timesheet entry. In the public space, people don't want to even take th

Think about the time period we lived through we regard to tech. The 2000s was a "gold rush" era of "web enabling" everything. Remember how fascinated we were when we first saw Google Maps running in a browser?
