Having read the book Dealers of Lightning about Xerox PARC and Kay,I think Smalltalk 72 was the original smaller simple language, with which children were taught. Then others at Xerox added more professional stuff, the kind programmers woul

I recall reading it, and strangely I felt that making of the game is just a side-happening, while the author was on pursuit to get into movie industry rather. Am interesting contrast, given most people know and are amazed by the game in ret

I think https://www.dreamsongs.com/WIB.html "2.1 The Rise of Worse is Better" is as good a comparison as one can get. (I'm neutral but I like the historic context)

We watched it recently after decades of hearing how great a film it was.. it was a superficial letdown instead.

Decryping is ephemeral though. No request body gets stored, except in RAM. Malicious operators etc, well that's always a possibility, but they supposedly have controls for that. And as others noted, they are not the only players in the

Not sure I used Piviti, but used Shortcut, Openshot and Kdenlive. Kdenlive wins hands-down in stability and least amount of UI glitches. (I recall that these interestingly share the same video editing backend, just the integration is differ

I was pondering about using simple decentralized databases that are kept synchronized asynchronously. I arrived to a design where SQLite databases would be synchronized by Kafka. Kafka is really robust, and has a friendly semantics when con

I worked at Google and have no idea what they mean by stacked change. You could push multiple changes to a single CL, but those were rarely reviewed independently. Maybe they mean keeping a stack of CLs ready, while waiting for a review? I

Great to see this space moving! Any pointers on diff vs Kythe? Kythe has a mostly fixed schema, for one. One of the pain points using Kythe is wiring up the indexer to the build system. Would Glean indexers be easier to wire up for the comm

IANAL but EU reverse engineering exception is granted for purposes of interoperability as I remember? Think API, protocol, file format. You can't reverse engineer and share random internals.

I would add great pacing, with long, slow shots. I counted random modern film scene switches, it is average 2 seconds per switch. Other is adding atmospheric elements that serve no purpose to the plot, just paint scenes of life. In modern f

Express this dismay to them, in a honest open conversation. Discover what holds them back. Be open, don't scold, maybe they reveal a problem in your attitude as well.

Jerry Weinberg asserted that you need 5x the hourly rate as a consultant, due to overhead, to get even. I really recommend Secrets of Consulting. I was vary since it sounds a BS title, but excellent book.

Ideally yes, but most of the time I find I have no idea about what I want to do. Idea leads to code, code reveals constraints, those lead to other ideas. If we could specify things, code writing AI would be easy. But most of the time, we ju

I saw the following model work: offer a compilation of your best (or themed xyz..) articles for money. Add that you can mostly find these scattered on the site anyway. Very fair, and people would pay for getting an organized package vs clic
