On Purpose
On Purpose -- ThinkingOutLoud DonaldNoyes 20080127 20140711
A new CompoundWord having one or three meanings:
- That which is following a plan or scheme which is projected as being accomplished by sequential and/or parallel processes.
- That which is accomplished in a way intended, (Software: IntentionalProgramming) not the result of accidental, incidental, or trials.
- ....
Q: Does that mean there is UnintentionalProgramming, in which applications appear by accident? ("I dropped three boxes of punchcards, ran them through the reader, and out popped a new operating system!")
A: If that's what happened, it would be a great surprise, similar to a thousand monkeys, with laptops, working together and producing the same thing.
