Personally, I think Linq can make the code much more understandable.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Actually, been doing programming for 30+ years. So, yeah, an old dog.

I'm happy with it; sorted a list today containing Tuple<int, string>, with the string containing a "X (Y)", sorted on Y (asc), ThenBy X (asc).

Yup - it was a direct quote from the article. A [sic] would be appropriate.

"My own personal opinion is that time is a human construct" “Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.”

Neat!...I've always jokingly maintained that there is no such thing as time...it's cool to see that it changes with gravity.

Unless it run by Stardate, it can be canned with the metric system.

Quote: People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it’s more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff.

A "non-subjective" viewpoint on time...is that time, as seen from the outside?
|

You're just not thinking fourth-dimensionally!

Time varies with gravity? I think there was a Swiss patent clerk who has prior art on that idea.
|
|
|
|
|
But he had not enough gravity to change the time - one stone creates to little of it.
|
|
|
|
|
He got some relatives to help.
|
|
|
|
|
Fat lot of good it did to him.
He didn't have the sense to patent the idea despite working at the Patent Office!
PS. The scientist (Leo Szilard) who thought of the chain reaction did take out a patent on it. It was pretty much confiscated by the British government during World War II.

A two-stage attack could allow spies to sneak secrets out of the most sensitive buildings, even when the targeted computer system is not connected to any network, researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel stated in an academic paper describing the refinement of an existing attack. "FM - no static at all"
All these 'attacks' that start with, "assumes that an attacker has already compromised the targeted system" make me sad. C'mon people, try harder!

For years Enterprise Java has been a synonym for Application Servers. Deployment and operations of the Application Servers has changed little over the years – while the APIs have adapted to new paradigms and competitive programming models were introduced. Time to rethink this part of the traditional enterprise stack, too. They were buried under a pile of configuration XML files.
