A trend prediction on web-apps and app development in general, based on last year's data.

It's definitely an odd number. If it were even you could divide it into 2 parts which, by definition, is not possible. You count up from 1 in steps of 2 and never stop. Infinity is…

The front-end of technology is where it meets the user, such as the user-interface of a PC. Who should do this personalisation? The end user or a designer?

I guess if the AI is good enough, your point makes some sense. It's a good programming habit to doc your code as you write it. If you do this in a structured way and code folding i…

Why could you not create a comment block above the code section in question and fold it. All IDE's nowadays support folding, including comment block folding. To see what a section …

Emacs is a great editor if you don't want to have to use the mouse and once you get familiar with its command set. What I'm working on is creating a keyboard-input only GUI SDK tha…

Thanks. I'll try that.

A keyboard based IDE for a keyboard based GUI for PCs. Common PC GUIs are WIMP based (Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointers). They require the usage of a mouse and are pretty complicated…

Connecting the IDE to teaching makes a lot of sense

FWIW, A sitar also has a 12 note scale, but the frets are moveable so you can tune by ear. The drawback is, you only play melodies on the top string and there are no chords. It's p…

I'm thinking more in terms of what you put into that interface. Do you add features that you might need later? My approach would be no. You design your first interface with only wh…

Generality leads to bloat in software systems and increases complexity unnecessarily. As a general rule of thumb, software should be designed with the specific use-case in mind tha…

FWIW, it's possible to program multimedia using Java via the ISO's MPEG-J framework. It's not as easy as PureData but it's very flexible and you get all the goodness of Java to boo…

No virtual fns means no inheritance. Also, you can blame the implementation and not the language. But real-world it is slower. Can't say by how much. Why bother?

> Overall, I think ... That's a reflection of their company culture. They're a bit stiff.

That comparison is Intel 14nm vs. TSMC 5nm nodes. Please verify from the link. That's appx a one node difference. Intel fumbled the ball on EUV intro.

Their stock options are not worth anything now. It's no longer a great place to work. Because they do not show you the money.

C++ adds a layer of functional indirection above the level of the C structure. This is what causes the bloat. The implementation of the C++ object vs. the C struct. Iostream is imp…

C++ is slow and bloated but people just hide that under the rug.

XPU is too generic a term and harmful looking at it from a business perspective.

Intel does not have a number 2. They only own x86. They have failed to diversify.
