This looks interesting. If a Flavour app were calling out to a back end in e.g. Spring Boot, is there a way to combine them into one project?
arunix··on Alain Delon has died
I only knew of him from Zorro (1975) [1], and I remember that mainly due to the whacky soundtrack [2]

arunix··on Do judges give out tougher sentences when hungry? A study too good to be true
Same here. My hunger plateaued after two days, but didn't go away, just became a bit more bearable. 12 days was the longest fast I've done.

arunix··on Read this post ‘unless’ you’re not a Ruby developer
This is a useful feature to have when writing one liners e.g.

    % cat words
    all
    these
    worlds
    are
    yours
    
Which I believe is one of the reasons Perl allows it:

    % perl -ne 'print unless /^a/' words
    these
    worlds
    yours
And Ruby does too:

    % ruby -ne 'print unless /^a/' words
    these
    worlds
    yours

arunix··on Common Lisp Object System (CLOS)
That reminded me of Peter Norvig's comment:

> Depending on your definition, CLOS is or is not object-oriented. It doesn't support encapsulation.

Lack of encapsulation would preclude the protection and hiding of state-process.

Perl has yearly releases, but is generally good at backwards compatibility.
