   Sorry, tried to answer and apparently I was "posting too fast". One may start with enumerating the features that needs development (a.k.a. "user stories"). Also enumerate external dependencies, team overhead (more peopl

   I think there is a way to give an estimate (have been doing it myself for a decade), even for dependencies that are not known from the start. (I mean, reasonable dependencies. No one can account for unknown unknowns, but the software engine

   This is actually a very good question to ask anybody: engineers, managers, marketing, designers... Too often I find that, within a single organization, different people working on the same project are solving totally different problems.

   I hope it IS required in the US. In my opinion, all quiet vehicles must emit some kind of universally accepted noise at low speed, ideally corresponding to the said speed. Think of, you know, the children, blind pedestrians, non-blind pede

   We don't license software engineers, who essentially create the foundation of modern society. Just today, there was a news story about Boeing employing offshore contractors at $9/hr to write software for 737 MAX. Nearly all large

    Thank you. It appears to be a leitmotif with the apple ecosystem: they try to lure you in and then keep you in by limiting your choices of interoperability. At some point, this should have a negative overall: the number of users gained vs.

    just curious, is it easy to export all the notes to a file, or migrate notes to a different machine without using iCloud?

    Yes, they surely did. I've seen google return a few results to common programming topics. I've seen google return results where the first page contains not a single relevant link. I've seen google return results which cont

    This is interesting. Could you explain this please?

    Thank you. I was hoping for a more definitive answer, may be a reference to an explicit test involving memory dump analysis.

    What I mean was: do you know this to be the case for JVM 8 later? This is an interesting subject. Was there a study or a paper you can refer me to?

    So what you are saying is that JVM copying surviving object between generational pools might expose secrets in memory? A very good point, thank you. What could be done to mitigate this? Direct ByteBuffer per https://stackoverflo

    This is inevitable: I think there are only two sustained models for free internet content: productizing the user data and/or advertizing. Google or Facebook. Philanthropy is certainly possible, but not sustainable.
