Looking at some old code, I would say I beat some others as well. They obviously never heard anything about patterns at all except maybe the Simpleton.

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?

In my dark past I tested MonoDevelop/Xamarin Studio and occasionally reported some bugs (if you can now work with Git in Xamarin Studio, blame that on me!)...
One of my reports about automatic event-handler generation (twice) in GTK+ projects was examined (and then buried) by the one and only Miguel de Icaza - that happened in May 2012...In March 2015 (now with Xamarin Studio) I was still able to reproduce the problem...(Yest - that's 3 years)
Today! I've got a confirmation, that the bug indeed exists...
I've spotted it in version 2.8 and now it is 5.10...and almost 4 years...
So what I have learned from it? No-one ever creates a GTK+ project...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

One wonders what the usage of the term "buried" referred to here. Does it mean "ignored," or "covertly deleted," or "rejected" ... blamed on GTK+ ?

Me think 'ignored' - they realized way before me, that there is no future in it...In GTK+, multi-platform development I mean..

Leaving for Germany tomorrow (first a wedding then business with a supplier). Some colleagues want to take a quick side trip (2 hours by car) to Amsterdam on Friday evening.
I'm in no need of pot or a prostitute.
Can anyone offer a couple highlights that might make the 4 hour round trip worth it for me?
Extraordinary or historical architecture?

Yeah man, there's some great pot and prostitutes in Amsterdam!
But seriously, being a Dutchie myself, who rarely visits Amsterdam, I'd say go for The Rijksmuseum[^] and make a boat trip on the canals. Maybe you can visit the Anne Frank house[^] too.

Cool - thanks!

As a tourist myself, I can agree with Sander. However I would rate Anne franks place lowest unless you are interested in the history.

Indeed. I was in Amsterdam during the hey-days of 1972 - a most auspicious time, indeed, complete with backpack and ISSTA card ('The' international student travel association of the time).
To this day, I remember the museum trips (and the Heineken Factory tour). There was an exhibit called "The Beanery[^]" - I'll never forget. In moments I was immersed.
I'm not sure if it is enough to just call it "Art".
