Thanks Jürgen.
I was very disappointed too.
I was honnestly thinking the discussion had a new sparkle in it, and now I feel
like it has vanished.
I regret these general discussions don't happen more often. I know we are not
talking about very concrete programming tricks, but discussing general ideas
helps to widen the scope of our understanding. I mean when I wrote this I had
myself to set several things clear in my mind, so it helped me as well.
I regret Don Dailey does not post anymore, we had some nice similar discussions
last year.
Sometimes you have to stop running like crazy, sit, and ask yourself: what have
I done? Why did it work? In which direction should I go now?
