I wonder what is the minimal size of UniK and if it runs on Raspberry Pi...

Now we will get Raspberry Pi with Swiss quality... :-)

This is a joke... but in reality there are MANY cases where programming language can prevent errors at compile time with no or minimal costs and this could be added to standard C...

This may really change software. In the mean time combine RAM and Optane SSD and you will get RAM read spead and permanent RAM storage...

This clarifies the need for a more "rust-like" C. I hope something like this will flow into standard C...

I wonder how many (foreign) security agencies use exactly the same technology... so easy to access... so much to gain...

Regarding "legal obligation": in some countries the government may be the second main user of your camera and mic - next to you...

"... but Android Java is not 100%" => Android N will use OpenJDK.

So if you have business secrets, you will have worries... :-)

Now Microsoft must demonstrate how other operating systems have the same problem "in a certain way"... :-)

Chinese espionage at work... I wonder how many foreign agencies can access my phone: USA, UK, China, Russia, ...

But by the US laws the US company has to share information information on those servers located in EU with US government if requested...

Maybe the biggest issue is optimizing register allocation while providing the information for all roots for the garbage collection... For non-GC languages you don't need to care about it and just agressively optimize register allocation. For GC languages you have to be careful, because the GC must know 1) which registers are holding references and which not 2) which of those registers are "alive" and which are not in use anymore (and therefore ready for garbage collection)...

Similar here... I had one large (master) TODO file and one large IDEAS file and I would move tasks from TODO file on my daily TODO list. The IDEAS file grown to more then 50 pages and I rarely read it... :-)

Nowdays I moved to paper so NSA can not read my ideas and tasks anymore. For TODOs I use one paper sheet per project/subject and carry all these 10-12 sheets in a folder. Then I move the tasks on my daily TODO list in Moleskine... For IDEAS: I draw/sketch/write them on paper and store them in archive folder (just in case I need it)... :-)

"But you need to control complexity as you develop."

One way to control the complexity is by consistent development of automatic regression tests which cover >90% of functionality. Then you are much less afraid if you remove something or make a big change in production grade software used by many customers.

How different is my experience with Eclipse... Diametrically opposite...

First thought: Is this an April Fools Joke? :-)

Second thought: This is G-R-E-A-T!!! :-)

Early adopters also use Java.

Cross-country tax issues can be challanging, because they are changing and just a few people understand them completely. The most important factor in your case is "center of living", which is defined very broadly, but for ease of understanding this is the country where you spend 183 or more days/year and where your family lives and where you have most friends and most private social life. This is where you will normally pay your personal taxes... if you pay some taxes in US already, then Spain will most propably deduct them and you will need to pay only the difference between spanish taxes and US taxes (under assumption there is "double tax treaty" between US and Spain).

Similar situation in Munich! The only one who can afford to live here - with average salary - is the lucky one whose parents are ready to help with a donation of 200,000€. For the rest they will take a loan at the bank...

I also had to laugh when Jobs started talking about "antenna gate". Instead of saying "We made a mistake here" he started saying "other phones have similar problems", etc. So his response wasn't good, but people still buy Apple and Apply is currently the largest company by market cap...

Dear Werner - if you are reading this: Please ignore all the articles and comments about "how is the money best spent"! They don't know what they are talking about! Instead take 2-3 weeks free and bring your whole family somewhere in Mediterranean Sea to the long deserved holidays so you can rest from all the financial burden, take a fresh breath and gather new energy and motivation for the project! And please again: ignore those comments! Greetings from Munich!

Not only web industry: in Smalltalk every integer can have unlimited number of bits. On 32-bit systems internally 31 bit is used first and with overflow it automatically starts using variable size integers... There is no need to make a choice on the number of bits... Just use integers as they are in the nature...

This "from time to time" should be daily. A very big part of happiness comes from relationships. Often you don't realize this and even make jokes like this one:

Q: "Do you have time for private life in Silicon Valley?" A: "What's this?" and then LOL because you know you are doing too little for your personal life...

If you would give only 15% more of your focused time to your spouse, kids, father, mother, friends... they would value it a lot! And it would be your long-term success! Are you ready to make such a small sacrifice for your "private life start-up"?

This will help them much with big customers who decide if they should use Docker - because they have now longer-term stability and support.

Digitalk Smalltalk/V User Manual is missing... :-) It had a nice cover...

How much power does it use? In documents I read:

Standby (No radios): 13 mW Standby (Bluetooth 4.0): 21.5 mW (BTLE in Q4-14) Standby (Wi-Fi): 35 mW

It this turned ON and waiting on standby? Or is this turned OFF standby? And how much does it use when CPU is working?

You can't understand this. It is emotional... ;-)
