I love that video!! This one is also pretty awesome, I think it is probably funnier in some ways: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqgRC5sfCaQ

He wasn't the coder. It was another guy called Renaud Bedard

Well, having just got a runtime error, I can tell you why it doesn't violate anything - it is running as an interpreter on device.

What is the best way to file bug reports? In the sketch demo I'm getting "TargetException Non-static method requites a target" when I click the "share" button.

Pythonista has been doing this for years now. Codea has also been allowing you you develop on device.

Okay - managed to make a simple UI Xamarin Forms script.. label, button with a single click event. It wasn't hideous to make and it did work. I don't know Xamarin Forms all that well, but for prototyping this could be very nice. T

I don't do F#, so I'm not qualified to comment.

Kylix didn't suck per se - the CLX sucked. 2 frameworks that were almost, but not entirely, compatible was a big mistake. Borland were just too clever for their own good. They didn't understand that Linux is a moving target and no

I stopped developing in Delphi in 2007, and even by then the IDE was starting to drift. The Delphi 5/6 IDE was great - much like Lazarus. The Delphi 7... well, I think it was okay, but I didn't really ever use it. Everything after

Okay - sitting at work, looking at Visual Studio 2015, this was an instabuy. I already bought Pythinista and Codea (not that I have an iPad to run the latter on anymore) so, I'm happy to do on device development. But giving me C# in my

Maybe in the US, but wicked was meant "good" in UK slang for 20 or more years. The weird part is usage. In the UK, this construction is usual: "That book was well wicked mate!" "That book was extremely good friend&q

"...without a passport". There, I fixed it for you. You don't need a VISA, you don't need a permit. I know plenty of Europeans that moved from the UK to mainland Europe and vice versa. (That's right - we are all Eur

Can confirm this is any non-Canadian, I'm from the UK -> fingerprints on a land crossing.

Good question. I'd hope "no", but the best I have is "possibly".

Unfortunately Folksprak is not a good example. I was active in the group for many years and it was pretty much a bunch of little fiefdoms with no coherent development strategy. Over 10 years later, they still don't have a single langua

Err... there's more than C# and F# targeting the CLR. Even just from Microsoft (VB.Net and Managed C++), but there are a heap more.

Neither the Romans nor the Normans overrun/outnumbered the population. That is the main reason. The Angles, Saxons, Jutes and so on, plus the Vikings in the North East, did. England was fairly unified by the time the Normans invaded -

Binary data in strings? "array of byte" surely?

I have a pot that I throw my change in to - there's £27 in £1 coins, and one is either fake or has turned a very dubious colour. Some fakes are amazingly real looking, some are so fake looking I find it amazing anyone actually believed

That used to be more of a problem. prior to the Royal mint resizing the 5, 10 and 50 pence coins, the 10 and 50 were exactly the same size as other international coins of a much lower face value. The Kenyan 1 and 2 Shilling comes to mind. A

This is a common phenomenon in English. The "Adder" (type of snake native to Britain) was originally "Nadder". In old/middle English, it was "a/an", "my/mine", so "mine Edward&quot

ACK!! Steep is an alien word. In the UK you "brew" tea. "A good brew" is a colloquialism for a nice cup of tea. Honestly, tea geeks, tea is just tea. Unless you paid a large sum of money for the actual product, you put a

you mean like the POPS emulator that the PSP used to run PlayStation 1 games (to correct the common mistake, the PSX was a completely different Japanese console, which only had the PlayStation as one of its parts).

the joke is that this is what Nokia did almost every time they released a NIT OS (ie maemo) version.

Modern Vietnamese is written in romanised characters though, and Chu Nom is archaic and pretty much dead.

Following Korean spelling rules, yes, but when I was a kid I had a slightly adapted Hangul that I used for English all the time. It was a brilliant secret code and only took a couple of days to master it. All I did was add a couple of chara

When I was in my early 20's I had an intense email friendship with a girl I met in alt.music.nirvana. Her name was Michaels, and if you search hard enough, you can still find her Usenet posts on Google Groups. We lived on opposite side
