There is something captivating in these old pictures that elevates them to pieces of art rather than just computer graphics. The sheer amount of work that went into crafting them makes each one special.

If you want to learn how HM typechecking works by studying working (Haskell) code, I would recommend the papers below. The code in these papers is closer to how you would actually implement a type checker in practice. [1]: https:/&#x2

My sentiments exactly. The problem is that also traditional media now amplifies this negativity. A bleak world view is now the norm. Things have been much worse in recent past but still people didn't fall in to apathy. Objectively thin

Being old enough to have used both Microsoft and Borland development tools back in the 90s, I think Borland was clearly ahead of the game in Windows development. GUI development with MFC was clunky and tedious. Tools generated ton of boiler

You can agree or disagree about the design decisions made by people contributing to Haskell language, but you have to admit that it's a pretty clever bunch of people. Haskell has contributed more to PL research in past few decades than

I live less than 100 km away from Olkiluoto nuclear plant, and I have never been worried about its safety. I wonder why this incident ever got any publicity outside Finland. Even here it faded away very quickly.

For sure there is need for programming language research. Language designers benefit greatly from the work done by the academia - for example in the area of type systems. But, OTOH, scientific community is not very tuned in the everyday pro

Rather than spending a lot of time building a router table, I recommend making a Samurai Carpenter's router jig [1] which is far simpler to make, and more useful in most woodworking joinery tasks. I spent many evenings making a nice ro

> Broad phase collision detection usually involves three lists of the bounding boxes of the objects, ordered by X, Y, and Z. Exactly. You first want to limit the set of objects that might collide as far as possible. A three-level interva

I have to admit that I haven't used Kakoune myself. I just like its approach of taking the good parts of Vim and adapting them to more "mainstream" style of editing. Because Kakoune's editing operations are much closer t

OP here. I completely agree with that. The goal of ModalEdit is not to emulate those verb-noun commands. VS Code's commands operate on selections, so it is very cumbersome to turn them to work in Vim way. Instead, you should try to mim

This article sums up all the reasons why I think documenting your code is important. But unlike the author, I take my comments one step further and generate documentation from them with my literate programming tool (for C#): https:/&#
