This is partially the motivation behind MSR's Drawbridge project (which is the predecessor for Windows Subsystem for Linux), the idea being that the personality of the OS runs in user space and each application runs in a sandboxed picoprocess. All ~14,000 functions exposed by Windows DLLs could be implemented by a narrow ~45 ABI calls provided by the host.

This is where I think LINQ does a good job.

  var coworkers = departments.selectMany(department => department.employees);

Nearly equivalent to the Scala code, but uses more approachable keywords like `select`, `selectMany`, and `where` instead of `map`, `flatMap`, and `filter`.

I often struggle to have a strong inner voice and remain apathetic about events and things going on around me. I think blogging and writing in general to a public audience helps me define my own values and thoughts.

All my past side projects have dabbled at the surface of a new or interesting technology. I hope to do at least one project which can take me deep into a specific language/framework so I can get a good feel for all the features in a specific technology.

When this happens to me the sleep is always instant and deep-a huge difference from when I spend about an hour trying to fall asleep at a regular time. I sometimes wonder if being in a perpetual state of stress would improve my regular sleep.

I think it's all about branding and preventing copycats from riding off of someone else's coattails. It's the creator who did the hard work of making a particular character well-known, and it wouldn't be fair to let an unknown third party use this popularity for his/herself.

Just press 'page up' and the Windows Phone emulator will let you type with your keyboard. It does get annoying when you have to do this every time, but I think the Windows Phone emulator beats Android's significantly in terms of speed and stability.
