   At one point in 2011, I quipped: "There is no dearth of new languages. Everyone who knows how to lex/parse can build one. And they will build one." It's the same thing with any other piece of technology for me. It's

   Scala is good, but I haven't seen it being used as much as it was popular a few years ago. It may die with a handful of loyal users, sadly; I bought the new Scala book myself and it's gathering dust. You may want to check out F# i

   Imagine a scenario when 99% of kids would fail and 1% would be extremely successful. Personally, I do not think that children deserve that kind of mess when they have to learn and spend their time developing relationships. Of course, you ma

    Practical steps: 1. Create a grammar for your language. Start with Lex/Yacc and model your grammar with Lex/Yacc. Use them to generate lexer/parser. 2. Create sample code in your new language. Parse the generated parser on sa

    Great Job, Canada. They've shot down many of the lobbying companies when publishing this. It's not perfect, but it's a good start.

    Spend 60% time on architecture /documentation. 25% time implementing and 15% time testing. Most people will insist on death by testing but do not let it take the soul out of solid groundwork.

    As of today, if I need to compress, I use M4A/ALAC. This article may have been appropriate >10 years ago. Most of the time I have good speakers and decently encoded sound, I do not have any real quibs.

    Everytime you worry, identify it. Try raising a 'Aha!' finger everytime you do that. Eventually you'll stop doing it, mindfully.

    IMO, Laizzes-Faire capitalism is the sort that, as of today, favors the larger players over the smaller fish in the sea. Practically, that system is going to become worse than ever.

    I do not subscribe to any single newspaper. Most of them are paid by a political party or state and there are few neutral ones. I do read a set of opposing views in general.
