I'm a fan of baroque and early (pre-1800) music, and the "Barock Music" stream is very calming and restful: http://barock-music.playtheradio.com/
I really like this circuit concept for async programming.
Did you come up with the model yourself is or is it an implementation of a wider pattern?
This is kind of homegrown concept, but unlikely to be entirely new. It has connections to other concepts, but the devil is in details, and it was really difficult to find good syntactic expression. I couldn't do it in any language except dart (at least without ugly workarounds).
In any case, it's doesn't seem to be appreciated, I'm glad you like it, thanks!
Listening to good jazz helps to stay in shape(there's some scientific data that proves music activates something in the brain, not sure what exactly, but it seems to work :-).
As someone noted earlier in this thread, there's nothing new in programming for the last 30-40 years. You just need to learn 100 tricks, you learn them early, and then the age makes no difference. What changes is that you don't think of career any more, and think about money much less, which makes you a very bad candidate for bullshit work. You can imagine the consequences.
