My myopia and astigmatism were stable for more than 20 years before I had the surgery. But in ten years I'll be at an age, where EVERYONE in my immediate family have had to have reading glasses. I'm not expecting to keep my head o

It's about the same as before the surgery - on the dry side. Right after it was rather brutal, I kept dripping my eyes every hour for weeks. It seems, though, that having air and wind move onto my eye actually helps as I blink more whe

I had a SMILE (which is the next generation procedure) operation done a year ago. I went from -9 with heavy astigmatism on both eyes to around -0.5 on one and -0.15 on the other with a slight astigmatism. It was two awful weeks of pain beca

Thank you. I will now need several hours of therapy to get quality sleep again. Porting a .NET application build for MS SQL to DB2 and dealing with all the ... pecualiarities of the DB2 driver is something I will hopefully never have to do

Object orientation and pattern matching is not an obvious mix. A lot of OO is about dependency inversion, which is more or less the exact opposite of what pattern matching gives you. It can be a powerful tool in the right hands but could al

As far as I know this (Actulus) is still primarily a research product in search of real world customers. Edlund primarily has customers in the danish labour market pension sector, and was recently acquired by KMD (a largeish danish it compa

I guess this makes sense as a strategic move. Microsoft have beefed up VS 2015 with "Roslyn technology", which makes Resharper more of a commodity (albeit in a class of its own). This move levels the field a bit by opening up othe

I hope UML as blueprint (or even, shudder, UML as a programming language) now mostly lives on in the memory of those who suffered under it.
