A lot of people own Samsung foldable phones? They’re especially popular in China and South Korea

My favorite is the Chad Wittgenstein usage. — Where you add an em-dash after periods to slow down the reader. —— Sometimes a double em-dash to keep your reader on their toes.

This doesn’t really make sense. Apps were pretty popular immediately after decades of web usage. There are many reasons to prefer an app. Even on desktop; if I’m using a service enough throughout the day, I want a native app, not a website.

The Economist is a British journal, so why would you use US definition of right wing to evaluate their centrality?

I can’t think of a worse announcement for your road to 1.0. Who cares? Without localization or accessibility support, it doesn’t make sense to call your UI framework production ready with a 1.0 version. I think limiting what third-party con

Is it really different from that short time ago? It feels like this has been the normal for much longer than 5 years. I do remember there being fewer restarts to update, but I feel like that was way back in the snow leopard days. As to why,

Does it? I’ve seen Ezra Klein talk about his book and he talked about how bureaucracy is frequently a scapegoat for getting things done. Europe is very bureaucratic yet is able to build. The issue he called out is red tape yes but more so l

Where do you see the word ‘Evil?’ I don’t see the word in the title or anywhere in the article itself.

This is what I understood as well, but it sounded like GP had success doing it; so I was curious if there was a trick I didn’t know about

Maybe there’s a git trick I don’t know, but I’ve found making small branches off each other painful. I run into trouble when I update an earlier branch and all the dependent branches get out of sync with it. When those earlier branches get

As someone who used phabricator and mercurial, using GitHub and git again feels like going back to the stone ages. Hopefully this and jujutsu can recreate stacked-diff flow of phabricator. It’s not just nice for monorepos. It makes both rev

Right but recursion is only a smaller part of why the optimization is important. It means tail-called functions still build on the stack and long function chains—as is common with fp—can overflow

I am also surprised, but not because I believe Meta to care about the ethics of the whole thing. After all their privacy scandals, I’d assume they’d have policies in place to prevent something that can so easily be leaked. But here we are

The subject of the function coloring article was callback APIs in Node, so an argument you need to pass to your IO functions is very much in the spirit of colored functions and has the same limitations.

I think this article does an alright job selling ro over RxGo, but doesn’t really explain why using a reactive library is better than plain go. The channel/goroutine example is fine, as they say, but they hand wave how this will fall a

I joined the sapling/subversion company this year, but haven’t had the chance to use jj. But given its resemblance I must say sapling has been great. Much more intuitive than git, and I find commit stacks much easier to follow than bra

What he calls import highlighting is something I only find reliably setup in Xcode, but is probably one of the most useful things to highlight for me. To be able to tell at a glance whether I’m looking at a library function or an internal w

I guess I was thinking specifically of the swift case where values have exclusive access enforcement. Normally caught by a compiler, they will safely crash if the compiler didn’t catch it. I think the only way to segfault would be by using

It’s not a prerequisite though. Nor is Hamlet or any of the other works referenced. Very little will be missed if you haven’t read the Odyssey. It’s a book that stands alone on its own. Like anything else, Ulysses is inspired by other works
