I'm trying to transcend my human limitations.

Thank you for your help, if there is something I can help you about just tell me.

I'm sorry if I did something wrong, rest assured that was not my intention.

If there is anything more you want to know about me, questions are welcome, feel free to ask.

comment Is OOP becoming functional programming?
Scala is OO and functional, I think that's the source of confusion. The referential transparency has proven to be very good specially when working on parallelizable programs. The evolution of processors and computing power focuses on increasing the number of cores, therefore I think we all could use some more functional programming, either with or without OOP.

comment Service to prove authorship with trusted timestamp
Yes, to some extent I'm searching for some CVS hosting with trusted timestamping, at least to the level of trust that one can put on the servers in a trace of e-mails, wikipedia servers, stackexchange servers or a SVN server run by some "trusted" third party. Hacking these servers is probably possible but not truly feasible, I think (I may be wrong) this may be legally a solid enough proof.

comment Service to prove authorship with trusted timestamp
That is impressive, I guess I may simply add a "timestamps" file that is included in the commits and which should include (in each commit) a new timestamp produced with the service you mention, with a reasonable cost. I tried to stress the CVS capabilities over the trust, though. For instance I can prove I didn't edit this question more than once to add the PD, it's not as trusted as bitcoins, but it's reasonable to assume I didn't hack SE to do that. The point is: the timestamp is set in SE (as in Assembla), not in my computer (which is the case for GIT).

comment Do setters and getters always break the Single-Responsibility Principle?
What is the responsibility of the config class if it is not to provide a centralized place to store and retrieve those config values? Is SRP broken in every database? In the example you link there are two responsibilities, 1 is getters and setters, 2 is CRUD. In the example you post there is no CRUD, so there is only 1 responsibility.

comment Service to prove authorship with trusted timestamp
Added a postdata. I think Assembla may actually work for this when creating subversion repositories. I think it should be enough in legal terms. I couldn't find another service that provides the same functionality yet, so it seems to be the only one and thus the best one. Any correction to what I believe to be true is welcome.

comment Format text in a generic and reusable way
XML may be fairly suitable to convert to HTML (XSLT) and to PDF (XSL-FO), but one primary use is to have something human-readable for collaboration. XML is far from the readability of Markdown, for instance. If there was a more terse serialization for XML that would be great, something as turtle is to RDF/XML, or CoffeeScript to Javascript. I failed in finding something in that direction, all I found is YAML and SDL. I'm starting to feel inclined to make my own syntax, which is probably the worst option.
