56 and 77 - no reason.. they were just random thoughts.

For me, it's a lot of accepting what I can change and putting things I can't in to perspective. Treating others as I'd like to be treated. And really, trying to find peace without …

Al lot of both really. Also, realising that you are generally amplifying most situations through a self destructive filter and trying as much as possible to be selfless and calm in…

Hmmm.. having been on an SSRI (at the time I was depressed) and suffering from a mild to middling social anxiety disorder (which stems from a chronic childhood one which lessened a…

cough Sinclair Basic ;-) Timex's Basic really only added a few extra commands (on err, stick, delete, free, reset and sound IIRC.) Everything else was identical.

How will you then bootstrap it on new platforms? Will it become reliant on cross compilation for bootstrap?

Maybe, but it doesn't make the alternative any less "correct". Also, "Dan" is a diminutive of both possible names, so I guess they went for the middle?

Eventually, yes. But it's the same as with Sophie Wilson (designer of ARM processor instruction set, formerly Roger) - is it a historical account, therefore use their name/gender a…

No, no, no! I work in both on a daily basis, and have done since 2006/2007. Around 2006 I started migrating Delphi code to .Net for an employer (they had a lot of VB.Net already th…

??? Alan Carr, Jimmy Carr, Paul Carr, none of them look similar.

No, that's not really true. Their business model revolves around licensing the mono runtime to end users (in this case Developers) along with some extra platform specific code. In …

No idea - it always has - but the loader specifically disallowed it except for "special" Apple frameworks.

No - Mono has crazy licensing restrictions and massive licensing costs for statically linking their framework. Xamarin offer a better option, but there is no "free" alternative usi…

Yeah, the pricing improved - but essentially, it is impossible to create the same exe for iOS using the open sourced Mono version because of the way in which the runtime is license…

If this can be used to open up more platforms, without crazy licensing fees as with Mono and mobile devices, I think it is a very positive step forward.

ADA at university - never touched it again. It was ADA 83, and the ADA 95 object extensions looked horrible. I remember seeing PL/SQL circa Oracle 8i and it looking a lot like ADA.…

Virii is a nonsense word. Unless, Virius was your original reference word.

I was just remembering my first job, where we still developed 16-bit based clients. I was thinking "Wow, I don't remember it being so difficult to debug...", then it dawned on me, …

I always though that was an ironic title, seeing as Skank and Skanky have always had a pretty strongly negative connotation in the southern UK dialects. Fatboy being a Brighton res…

France - the French have a very long history of feeling that the French language has a prestige status in the world. English is now a fairly large force in the world, but it wasn't…

I always read it as "Hacker" in the traditional sense of the term, not the alarmist media "OMG!!H4qq0r" sense of the word. Hacking used to simply mean programming.

Device testing, or VM testing? Genymotion is not a real device. For a start, IIRC it uses an x86 processor in the emulation.

Portsmouth has a major "thing" for him too.

Yes. The Norman French retained the S, where as it was lost in Central. Though, I've no idea of the timelines and how Norman ended up later on.
