Regardless of where you stand on this issue I feel that's a bit of a pointless nit-pick, because he's obviously not referring to those cases where mall rents are based on percentages. He clearly would argue that those would be the

I have a fantasy where I win the lottery or inherit millions from a long lost relative and can live out my days developing whatever project I want. That project would be the ultimate build system. There are at least two problems of course.

Also c++ dev and I use Xcode also on a daily basis. VS is the best IDE for me and I have tried them all. Solid, excellent debugging tools. I think it helps that I generate my solutions from CMake so they are always “fresh” and not really ol

Mindscape episode with Stephen Wolfram from 2021 which might also be of interest. I enjoyed it even if most of it was way over my head. It is probably overly-ambitious and probably a dead end but it's an worthy attempt (if you have the

Well for me UWP was a broken promise by Microsoft. Years of hard work half wasted because they promised it was the only future of Windows but then they themselves didn’t take it seriously.

And there was work in the Chromium PDF library, pdfium, to switch to SKIA from AGG. It was going slowly for many years and wasn't finished last time I looked about three years ago.

Yeah that's a good test. As soon as it's spring or so our windows are tilted open all day long. By 6am it would be too loud on my street to sleep with windows open, however.
