   I think it's better for them. The IDF was used to showcase new products. If they have no new significant products to show, it's better not to summon anyone instead of getting the flak for introducing only minor evolutions as it ha

   If you really want to improve the Joel Test, fine. The suggestions are even right. But please, KISS. The original test had 12 items, this one 20. This should be the upper limit, more or less, for any improved version. Otherwise it is probab

    There is a great deal of old classic games that could be remastered. I wonder sometimes if the companies that developed them, if not defunct or totally convoluted legally, understand the goldmines they are sitting on.

    Lovely! But the real champagne opener is when certain mainstream compilers completely support all features. PS. Please don't forget to show some love for C2x now. :D

    These [1] are the current ACM recommendations for CS among related fields. In all of them, math plays a major role. But is math notation necessary to understand/communicate math in an ORAL way? I understand this is critical to write a

    I have been watching this development these last few hours. In a back-of-the-envelope calculation it is a very robust pace. It's nowhere near the CPAN modules, yet, but it is way more than any other repositories and it grows continuous

    What I really like about Unreal Engine is its Unreal Assets, ie all those modifications that can be applied according to the field used. Good example: UnityCar, the packet that was used to build "My Summer Car".
