For what its worth, I tried this while it was on display in Toronto, and it was great - it was set up for kids and there was no 'cartoon breasts' to be found, just a bunch of super stoked kids seeing their creations come to life & playing with tech


The "fair share" / tax arguement is often paraded but does not reflect the actual reality. Most of the cost of roadways is paid by general tax revenue and not vehicle specific fees. This study shows an interesting breakdown of the costs associated with driving vs walking. page 13 has a good chart http://www.vtpi.org/whoserd.pdf


It sounds like your basically describing what littlebits are doing (http://littlebits.cc/) - modular electronic blocks that can be arranged in a multitude of combinations


Sure, thats pretty close. But .. take it up a notch. Make it an open spec that anyone can manufacture. Make the block stacking standard really work .. littlebits has its virtues, but the whole thing is quite delicate and really only suitable in the lab/workbench. A 21st Century Denshi Block system would have to be a lot more resilient to spills and bumps.

No, unfortunately there's still quite a few of those lurking around.


Old platforms never die, they just go into maintenance. Even mumps is still around in quite a few hospitals.


Some of the largest EMR vendors in the world still use MUMPS on their backends. Even as frontend platforms change, MUMPS seems to be eternal.


The upcoming Finnish patient information system will apparently be written in mumps. The total estimated cost of the system is 1.8 billion euros.


That, for want of a better word is absolutely incredible. I keep using that word and I think I know what it means but really, what were they smoking?

MUMPS (har har) has it's origins in the medical world so there are a lot more people versed in mumps in that world that have domain expertise regarding hospitals but you'd hope that that chapter of the Cambrian explosion in programming was closed by now and that someone would come to their senses and would say: absolutely no more new development in MUMPS. (And 'Mapper' for that matter.)

They were dead-ends 30 years ago, they're not magically going to be better in 2015. Of course it would be hard to get rid of 1.8B euros using any other available technology so maybe that's were we can find part of the answer of why this happened.

Maintaining MUMPS code is an interesting exercise in pasta consumption, the language more or less dictates it.

A co-worker's son had the offer of a summer 2015 internship with a big US insurer. The system he would have worked on had a VB (maybe VB.NET) front end to a MUMPS system. He did not take the job, for something that seemed more useful came up.

[edit: specified which summer]


Hmmmm....

Anyone want to build an LLVM backend + FFI module? Probably worth a small fortune to shops that want to migrate out of MUMPS


Good luck with that. MUMPS is an interesting beast. Before you embark on that I suggest you look into some medium sized MUMPS based project to get an idea of the kind of flavor of madness you'll be engaging.

But I agree with you that if you can pull this off you'll be doing well financially.

Even better: a MUMPS -> Java automatic translator (or maybe Python or Ruby, but I think the Java would be an easier sell in that market).


Yep. Neighbor of mine was looking for MUMPS programmers about 6 months ago.


Please do not give out my contact info ;)

Seriously, dont.

One of my worst experiences was working for some bank that used MUMPS and trying to recover the (accidentally) erased editor string before someone would notice that it was gone. (Yes, the editor is a string, and it behaves just like any other string and globals are auto persisted to disk so if you wipe the editor string then much good luck to you.)


Yeah. I think I'd file MUMPS under 'lifetime employment for my worst enemy'.


How the hell did a bank end up with MUMPS?

It's a disease primarily limited to the healthcare system, in my experience.


Banks and healthcare share a number of elements one of which is large budgets and those peddling MUMPS and associated (expensive consultancy) services saw an opportunity and ran with it. The fact that it eats up your hardware probably didn't go unnoticed and I'm pretty sure that in that world 'kickback' isn't a dirty word.


"Flash developer" isn't so much a job as a dark, unholy religion.
