Actually around 2000 before Eclipse (aka WSAD in IBM speak ;) they retargeted Visual Age for Java. I've never done anything with Smalltalk, and what I know doesn't make me comfortable. For example, Visual Age stored all your code

LLMs are statistical language models (d'uh) not reasoners after all. I found generating logic programs, and Prolog source specifically, to work unreasonably well, though [1], maybe because Prolog was introduced for symbolic natural lan

Linux desktop is a lost cause for me, simple as that with the fiasco that is Ubuntu post 2022, wayland, and too many other choices that make for a horrible user experience. Those probs with power management mentioned here are ones that syst
