Aphorisms
This group is an attempt to create a phrase-book about Programming, but not only. Feel free to post your interesting thoughts.
And please note: If not mentioned otherwise - it is assumed that the phrase belongs to the publisher.
Let's start...

All you need in order to solve "The Ultimate and Hardest Problem" is - to formulate right question(s).

XML is the same LISP, just without functions.

In no other field are there a huger gap between complexity of methologies, and simplicity of the results. Only simplest programming solutions are practical and managable, but it's really hard to keep it stupid enought in inventing them.

All conclusions stem from some kind of logical interpretation of certain assumptions. If we apply this notion iteratively, whereby we come to use prior conclusions as assumptions for further conclusions, we build what is seemingly a well built stack of knowledge. What most fail to understand, myself included, is that at the lowest levels and even at those higher up, we can create scenarios that do not depend on conventional assumptions. This frees us from the limitations of any and all conclusions built up so far. Moreso, at the very bottom level, assumptions must be taken from somewhere other than logical interpretation. These assumptions can come from two different places. The first place is that we made it up from thin air. The second place can come from external stimuli which someone else created, also from thin air. Strange that we always to try to change the results rather than our reality from which these conclusions are based.

Загадочная русская душа - понятие в большей степени политическое. Этим понятием российские политики испокон веков прикрывают полное отсутствие оной в своих поступках и решениях.
Сами же русские люди при этом несовсем бездушны; только их душа по этой причине постоянно находтся в пятках, а освобожденное пространство вынужденно заполняется варварским и Византийским началами.
В этом и состоит основная загадка Русской Души.

Most of the time Programmers enjoy how they've programmed things in most pervasive way, instead of thinking how to write it easier.

The strong typing vs. typeless problem is only a question of programmers strong inner responsibility and, sometimes, of unlimited self-confidence.

Programming
Emulation has always meant to reproduce the effects and results of the original software as is, without changing it. Portability is the adaptation of software to use the features available in its new environment so that it may again produce the same results as before. Therefore, the definition of portable software should be of one that can automatically adapt to its new platform and use specialised functionality only available to that platform in order to more efficiently produce the same results. It is a wonder why anyone would think that you can achieve portability through a universal set of instructions as this only allows emulation, or at best requires that all machines have the same lowest common denominator of functionality while the rest of the power goes unused.

The difficult part is not finding a solution. But rather realising that the framework of the question should be rebuilt. Once you have the correct question, the solution comes with it.

Technology always appears in the form of hardware. How are we to become more technologically advanced if we are blocked from it?

The program code is actually an excrement of design. The more you make code better, the more you lose the initial design way.
