On Moore's Law

It is not a law.

It never was a law.

An observation is all that it ever was, or a prediction, but not a law.

And surprise, it does not hold anymore.  

The prophecy was false, after all.

The best code review comment ever

I just wrote a code review comment that I feel particularly smug about. 

The code I was reviewing: 

class PointClouds ...

My comment: 

It is a bad idea to have a type name in plural. If you need to signify plurality, use a plurality-signifying suffix in singular form, as in:

• PointCloudCollection
  
• PointCloudSet
• PointCloudGroup
• or go creative with PointCloudFormation
• or take creativity to a whole new level with PointCumulonimbus

Anything but a plural type name.
