Or, in terms of OOP, wrong abstraction is when you have subclasses with pretty much everything redefined in each. I don't think this is very common though. You will more likely see a lot of duplication in poor legacy code, and not beca

There was a post today about Stanley Kubrick, which got me thinking: programming is like making a movie in many ways. So you can tell your boss: "if I were a film director and you knew I'm busy at the film set making a feature fil

I disagree, I always liked Apple's product descriptions. Nowhere near the nonsensical "everything you ever needed" that Evernote uses to market a TODO app. Now compare that to the paragraph below the iPhone 6S image here [1]

That's not entirely correct. Linux kernel is Linux kernel; what we call "Linux" usually also includes the GNU userland. And then there are "Linux flavours" that only differ in the way they screw up packaging and upd

Well, to be fair Bluetooth itself is incredibly difficult to deal with on all levels, just like any other committee-driven thing out there. It's a mess that I doubt can ever be fixed. As for WiFi, my experience with Apple devices is mo

Any OS is good for a "basic internet station". Today, a school-age hacker can probably hack together a rudimentary desktop OS for running Chrome and Firefox with no advanced audio/video codecs. But Linux is no school project,

I don't think the iPhone has a model of the world with its own body in it. You could program that too, and once you also add the ability to move/act according to a certain goal, you have an intelligent agent. However, making your

Making decisions is not that complicated, neither is it interesting. Your iPhone can make a decision to kill a process that takes too much system resources while in the background. What's more interesting (and what seems to be the main

Back in 2005 I suggested that it would be interesting to build a system that would play any game without being given directions (that blog post has since disappeared from the web). This, and not image recognition, would mean intelligence, I

Been thinking about something else: stream music that's playing in your head now, so that others can hear it. No AI, no "adaptive" crap, just what's being composed in your mind right now. Whether this is typical or not I

Just re-stating the obvious, but it's also interesting how GitHub has become the default go-to of repos for everyone, like Google is for - well - googling. Kudos to both GiHub and git, you are simply awesome.

Because like the author says, there is no substitute for competence. If you can't write good code, then your assumptions about the future design will be wrong and/or bad, and your tests will be as poorly written. In other words, T

It's funny how C and C++ standard names are not Y2K compliant. Are the committees so confident the languages won't be around in 80-100 years from now? :) I wouldn't be so sure.

Alternatively, it's meta-consumerism. We buy things we don't need, while people with big money buy big things they don't need. Except big money movements make waves and backfire on everyone.

Feel free to downvote me if you want, but I'm skeptical about Go and what caught my attention in this linked article is the picture. Pretty much what I feel about Go. Was it a (sub)conscious choice?

One of the absolutely necessary things you should have on board is solar panels, to keep your radio alive. Also, the movie All Is Lost comes to mind.
