DaedTech: The audience for your code is not the user (that’s the audience for the UI). The audience is the CPU, but much more so, its the next developer who needs to edit your code, or even a future you.
Yes and that is the key point.

Yes and no!
Art is in the eye of the beholder.
If I think a solution to a problem is beautiful I may consider it art yet someone else just as a tool and a means to an end. For some maybe the end result when all that code comes together is beautiful and consider that art.
I don't think you should be to strict in your views and allow yourself to appreciate the code and what it does especially if you like it but in a teaching environment you shouldn't put too much focus on the artsy aspect, just show that it can be beautiful but try to foster increased learning.

I remain curious about the viability of using a functional language base for asynchronous event-driven user-interfaces where there can be many complex interactions between what the user(s) does and underlying objects and data.
Does the necessity to "maintain state," provide undo/redo, manage changing collections of objects, shift from mode to mode where the entire UI changes, etc. ... go "against the grain" of "stateless" functional language ?
Like to read something about that.
thanks, Bill

We often see compiler warnings about pieces of code that have potential problems or poor style. Sometimes they point out code that is actually wrong, so don’t ignore them. Those yellows are just polite reds

JavaCPP provides efficient access to native C++ inside Java, not unlike the way some C/C++ compilers interact with assembly language. Two great tastes that taste a little funky together

Some 53 percent of respondents to the Dice Salary Survey said they were satisfied with their pay in 2015, a slight rise from 52 percent in 2014. I want their salary then.

The thing that irks me most about raises is that after a couple of paychecks at the new rate, it's like nothing has changed.
I think I need a raise about once every month to stay focused.

Researchers from Tel Aviv University and Technion have gone a step further than past efforts, and found a way to steal data from air-gapped machines while their equipment is in another room. Pardon me while I set up an electronics shop next to your laptop...

How is this different from Tempest?
This was demonstrated back in the early 1980's.

I thought Tempest was reading the CRT signal, wasn't it?

Since 2008, vulnerability has left apps and hardware open to remote hijacking. It's only been there since 2008. I'm sure no one is using it.

The cumulative update not only knocks out PCs' default settings, it prevents users from resetting them. By "default", we mean, "don't change these"

Guess I must be one of the lucky ones. My W10 PC installed that update last week, and it hasn't touched my default applications or file associations.

Nope - Firefox. And VLC as the default media player.
And it's an upgrade from 8.1, not a clean install.
The defaults haven't changed since I set them when I upgraded.
