Xtend started out in 2011 with a controversial claim to fame: the programming language promised its users “Java 10, today”. For those who prefer their Java deOracleated

Mobile development is on the rise, but for developers, it’s still got a long way to go. Mobile's just a fad: who wants to carry all the world's knowledge and capabilities with them all the time?

640K should be enough for anyone!

Intel will show wearables, robots, and smart electronics and also talk about chips for mobile device, PCs, and servers at its developer forum. Well, not *just* an antiquated tech company

If they want to compete they will need to bring prices down and provide the tools to program them cheap or free to entice developers to come on board. What good is an SD sized SoC if no one uses it?

Today I’d like to share some information about work we are doing to make hardware accelerated 2D graphics APIs available to C# developers. For ADVENTURES in the second dimension
That really needs dramatic music in the background to help it pop.

"The Kaypro computer was a necessary step in getting to the iPad," Paul Freiberger, co-author of "Fire in the Valley: The Making of the Personal Computer," said in an interview on Friday. "Back then few thought of making a computer you could carry around. It was loved because he got almost everything right."

Quote: Both machines were described as “luggables” and were the size of portable sewing machines. But the Kaypro’s case was rugged metal, in contrast to the Osborne’s plastic shell, and it had a nine-inch cathode ray tube display. It weighed 29 pounds and, like the Osborne I, sold for $1,795.
My boss insisted I take one of these on a business trip to Mexico in mid-80s, all I could think of was where can I ditch this thing and would I have to pay for it if it came up missing. It was an amazing machine but it was so heavy.

Only a geek would think 29 lbs is heavy.

Try lugging it through 2 air ports, having the stewardess stow it, etc.. It was just a PITA. It wouldn't have been so bad but I never used it and knew that I wouldn't use it.

Ummm maybe, as I remember it wasn't all that powerful and was DOS based, no windows. Never know people collect and pay for the strangest stuff.

One of the biggest surprises for novice programmers is just how much of their "programming time" is spent as "debugging time." Just search Google for "where is the bug in this code?"
|

I think "where are the bugs in this code" is better 
In code we trust !

For obvious reasons the amount if hits for that search is a somewhat smaller than if you search for "Gimme the code"

Quote: Student: My code isn't working. Can you tell me what's wrong with it?
Teacher: I'm not psychic! I need more information.
Can you answer these questions as best as you can, first?
1. What makes you say your code isn't working?
2. What did you expect your code to do and why?
3. What did your code do instead and how do you know?
Student: <fails to answers questions effectively>
Sutdent: Plz Halp!!
Ohhh, I see what's wrong!
Teacher: Imagine if you had a habit of asking and answering these
questions yourself. Half the time you'd solve your own
problem and the other half you'd be able to ask a much
more specific question and get relevant help more quickly.
Student: I totally agree.
Student: Gimmie the codez! It's urgentz!!!!

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

There’s been a lot of hullabaloo lately about the state of test driven development (TDD). It was the best of tests, it was the worst of tests

Software development is still just so much voodoo. I wonder why we can't actually create a legitimate discipline worthy of the term "engineering" out of it.

Saving files to memory is something that's supposed to be mostly invisible for the end user. We don't need to think about it; it just has to work. But whether it's a solid-state or hard disk drive, conventional storage solutions have their limitations -- namely, speed, rewritability and durability. A team at IBM Research's Almaden facility in California has a cure for all of that and it's called "racetrack memory." "Memory is merely the process of tuning into vibrations that have been left behind in space and time."
