Samsung on Monday delayed the launch of the Fold following reports that some of the small number of devices seeded to reviewers began to malfunction or break. The CNET review unit, handled by editor Jessica Dolcourt, hasn't suffered the same issues. This is no Galaxy Note 7 debacle.

My understanding is that two conditions are affecting the device. The first is user error. There is a thin layer of plastic the covers the screen and is required for the screen to function. Users are removing the film thinking it's just a screen protector. The second is that this film leaves a gap at the hing when folding. This gap allows dust and other particles to get behind this film causing the same issue of the screen malfunctioning.

I feel like I completely lost that spontaneity and simple mindset. Every project which I take up has become an attempt to make money. I tell myself, “Oh wow, that’s a cool app idea, I should build it. But wait….how am I going to monetize it. Is it worth it?” Sound familiar?

The real question should be, "What will I learn from doing this?"
I've been writing code as a hobby for over 40 years, and have rarely - if ever - asked myself, "How am I going to monetize this?"
Given today's rapid-fire feature updates, I ALWAYS ask myself, "Is it worth learning this?"

No, but I'm not focussed on money.
If you want your app to be a commercial succes, then the question is legitimate.

I firmly believe that the best way to truly learn a technology is to build something with it, so I decided to take a deep dive and build a web application with all of these technologies together. 53 min read, FYI.

Car API startup Smartcar claims that its competitor Otonomo copy-and-pasted Smartcar’s API documentation, allegedly plagiarizing it extensively to the point of including the original’s typos and randomly generated strings of code. They say copying typos is the highest form of flattery.

Microsoft Research has introduced a new open source programming language called Bosque that aspires to be simple and easy to understand by embracing algebraic operations and shunning techniques that create complexity. Here's that regularized programming you wanted. Bish, bash, er, Bosque.

Well at least that article explains what Bosque's designer was trying to do, if still not at a level that I can actually see how it's doing stuff differently than other languages.
