Like a red rag to a bull - you are going to have to open up a whole new forum, the MMChallenge. You will however have to wait till the hangover wears off this morning.

Didn't get to bed until after 04:00, got up just after 09:30 to bring the shopping in and then went back to be for an hour trying to sleep.
The head ain't half as bad as I thought it would be, I' lethargic as f*** though. About 3 hours until GWS kick off and a couple of hours later Canberra go at it. Will see how the alcohol feels then.

I enjoyed watching the Swan annihilate Geelong yesterday afternoon, then passed out about 10pm  I'm getting old and I don't like it.
I expect to enjoy watching GWS scrape home this afternoon.

So are you back in Oz yet or do the games make it to Singapore?
I was up drinking with my son. Can't remember what we were doing at that time. I finished the League and the AFL, then watched a bit of TV, then an episode of Intelligence then I just think we stayed laughing at stuff that I'm sure wasn't in the least bit funny but had me laughing so hard I struggled to sit in my chair.

Wait, you actually put a hit counter on the individual segments of the MM Filter?  
Seriously through, have any of them overflowed an int64 yet?
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?

Oh crap!
I just received my new Mac Mini 2.6ghz 8GB i5 this past monday and it has El Capitan on it for my new venture into iOS iPhone dev.
First Mac EVER. As a PC user I had heard only a bit about Mac OS so I just thought, "Okay, good, I got El Capitan and that's relatively new, right?"
Well, I guess I was wrong.
And this Mac Mini ain't so fast already, let me tell you.
Oh boy...

You weren't very wrong. El Capitan is a year old. Recently Apple has updated OS X (now called macOS) every year. Despite Apple's marketing propaganda, every year its usually a mild evolution not a revolution. From what I can tell, this year's update is no different. A handful of new features, some useful - some not.
That being said, I'll guess your Mac Mini will be fine. Might even speed up... just give it 20-30 minutes after the update to rebuild its caches and indexes.

Great info. Thanks very much for taking the time to let me know.

The mac mini is...well, it's not their workhorse. We use one in the office to handle our teleconferences. Fine for basic stuff but there are definitely faster micro PCs out there.
I've used a Macbook Air for a number of years now and it's definitely fast enough. Can't wait for the next iteration.

I'm learning the truth of that as I develop my first iOS apps. Well, it's a bit better than I first thought, but it becomes quite laggy at times. Mostly, inconsistency feels like the norm. 
Well, I'm using it only for the iOS dev so I can probably tolerate it for a while.

So MVC is introduced by Smalltalk. I thought it was by Java. After all these years I was fooling myself with this assumption. Shame of me. Thanks InfoQ for the related news.

You'll find that pretty much every paradigm you can think of can trace its way back to things like Smalltalk, the original Unix implementations, VMS and Xerox PARC. There's been precious little real new material since the mid 80s; merely refinement of concepts that were introduced earlier.
