I do not intend to judge the level of competence or respect of Finland's teacher's only I'm really curious how they were formed in the first place. In general when something new appear (to stay, with success) we have a pion

I'm curious how they can get enough teachers. I mean people who now IT enough not only to being able to actually "program" themselves for real a bit but also teach to children. In my personal experience even at universities (

Thanks for the link however the point is simple: people who write those norms have no idea what programming means and how it can be done in modern desktops. If, and only of, we have modern Alto or LispM perhaps we can teach few "progra

Problem of medical notes have a name: bureaucracy. The hope is leaving it apart, and today it seems a bit utopia... Also in terms of "numeric/digital" vs "paper" the point is ignorance: how many people outside IT wo

Mh, actual status is not due to technical evolution but to commercial one. We have had, and there is no reason but commerce and ignorance, machines that work under the control of it user notably LispMachines, Alto Workstations &others.

Try to compute differently: how much usable energy you milk from gasoline/diesel? How many fill-up you do per week on your car? Now compute it at national scale and imaging it in electrical energy instead of chemical. That's the &

Mere line count does not tell a truth, simply because you can do more thing with a SLoC in a language than another, also sometime to be on certain platform you need an enormous amount of code only for them that's have no other purpose
