My late wife suffered from early-onset alzheimer's disease and I went to see this movie and I felt that it was very far from the reality as I experienced it. Yes, it does portrait many of the things that happen to people with early-ons

Playing go is a life lession in concentration and probably something more, because go is a much deeper game, not just in complexity, but also in richness with respect to strategy. Think only about something like aji https://en.wi

There are also ways of using Git without a repository in the cloud. As a security oriented company, it seems a good policy to avoid using cloud services as much as possible.

I think that the main problem is that pointers are a too low-level concept (like assembly language compared to high-level programming languages) that are used to implement various more high-level concepts. I have not come across a language

Very interesting. In the past, I spend some time on finding the largest number that could be calculated by a Brainfuck program when the memory cells can hold arbitrary large numbers (and not be restricted to bytes as with the official langu

Some things in software are harder to change than in traditional engineering. Let me just mention one: CR LF for line-endings. A long, long time ago, a CR without LF could be used to make bold text or to underline text. And where-as traditi

If Lexing is context sensitive and you have random access to your input, why not make it part of parsing by calling specific lexing functions based on the context. (I have used this approach in https://github.com/FransFaase&

You won't forget directions when it matters. If you can't remember how to get to a certain place without a navigation app, it's a sign that that place is not close enough to you for it to actaully matter. I really do not unde

This is a result on mice and as far as I know, attempts to reproduce similar findings in humans have failed. So there it is to be seen if in this case it will give similar results in humans. The mouse models that are being used, often genet

For more than 25 years, I am simply writing HTML with only a little CSS and some JavaScript. During that time, I have developed a link checking program, which helps me fixing links and updating the tags. It is a simple C program and rather

I would think it is easier to develop a Lisp-like language in C, because Lisp usually is executed by means of an interpretter, due to the dynamic behavior of Lisp where you can redefine functions on the fly. See https://github.co

Earlier this year, I wrote a blog titled 'A simple Git workflow' https://www.iwriteiam.nl/D2009.html#30 and now that I am rereading it, it does not feel simple at all for a first time user. And note, this simple w

Some creationist are reasoning that because mutations in genes usually have a negative effect, evolution can not lead to improvements. Here we have an example of a gene that became shorter (probably due to a mutation (deletion, change or in

The interesting thing about gene ARHGAP11B is that it is a truncated version of ARHGAP11A, meaning that it was caused by a degenerative mutation, which goes totally against creationist arguments that degenerative mutations can never lead to

One of the most important reasons why we write programs, is because computers are slow and have limited memory. Computers only appear fast due to a host of tricks. The most important trick is the memory pyramid: with at the top a small numb
