Why limit to Adroid/iPhone? Maybe a website (which can be accessed from the mobile) is a better idea. On a second thought, isn't bash.org exactly that?

I think this is the reason we don't have flying cars. We could build them. So if the biggest problem here is safety (introduced to some extent by irresponsible drivers), maybe flying cars will be possible once we can create automated car

It's fun to speculate the cultural influence on a programming language design. There was a story Dijkstra told in his "Discipline of programming" - he gave his students a task where they had to process a set of items or something like tha

I wonder what he was trying to say. Okay, taxes are lower there than in Germany or France, government spends less - but what are the effects? Do people live better there than in Europe? Are there any companies that prefer to do business in

These FB puzzles test your algorithmical capabilities; and being able to develop new algorithms is not always necessary (though always useful) for a programmer. So you can have lots of programming experience and still not be too good at alg

I agree with some of your points, though I don't think making C/Pascal and Python/PHP groups would be a good decision. As for languages selection - I considered adding assembly, F#, ML, Fortran, Algol and some others, but I had to stop some
