Thanks, that's useful for his old posts. But does anybody know if there will be more from him? Did he take his website offline on purpose?

Did they just re-design their website and removed the login button? I cannot find it, and I'd like to access the eBooks I paid money for. Are they running some A/B tests and I'm keep getting the same version?

In the context of version control, some formatting rules work better than others.

Maybe for the next project; together with Haskell.

I haven't read it, nor do I own it, but "Algorithm Design with Haskell" might fit: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/algorithm-design-with-h...

One issue I have with CLRS is that array indices usually start at 1, but sometimes they use 0, because it works better in that particular case. Some functions I used in Erlang (lists:sublist/3, lists:nth/2) use 1-based indices, to

> Python has some functional capabilities, but in my experiences with Python devs, those are little used and even shunned. I like to use things like filter, map, reduce or list comprehensions, but I see very few of those in my coworkers&

One pattern I noticed in the workplace: People are mocking things like LISP, Haskell, or Erlang, but get a hard-on when their bread language (e.g. Python) introduces new syntax for, say, pattern matching (rather a pattern-aware switch/

I hereby publicly announce that I use Arch Linux. I really do so for more than five years now, and I'm not thinking about switching. OK, maybe to OpenBSD for a change now and then. PS: Did I mention, that I use Arch Linux? PPS: Did I m

Brad Fitzpatrick stated in one of his talks, that a version of Go coming with generics will be called 2.0 eventually. Maybe they do the version jump if there are backward-incompatible changes done to the library in 1.19.

When I read Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" in school, I mentioned to my teacher that the investigator reminds me of Columbo. I only remember my teacher answering me, that Columbo is one of the few crime series to be of g

If you are immunocompromised, you're not only vulnerable to COVID-19, but to a plethora of other viruses going around all the time.

It's not about health, it's about being considered a high-IQ person by Paul Graham, who'd like to only have vaccinated people at conferences: https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1359577831236378627

Getting a vaccination just for "the points" looks like a bad idea to me, because "the health" should be the only point to be considered.

When you read the entire section of the book, Martin claims that those tests main purpose is to serve as a normative documentation. The developer can read the test case and then figure out what was meant to be programmed. While it might be

This (my) little rant is of course hyperbolic, but I tried to make two points: 1. The actual specification is sometimes better reflected by the implementation than by some test cases. 2. Some test cases don't help you understanding wha

Ironically, our company started using Codecov as a measure to improve security. I don't know how far a high code coverage correlates to a secure code base, but the security incident certainly had adverse effects.

Go ticks all those boxes, including "easy to learn".

Wow, thanks! It's always good to see if one's intuitive concerns are actually well-known computer science problems.

I am really a beginner of both Scala and functional programming. I took the first Coursera course on Scala, and I got really frightened when I noticed that you can express many things in either the functional or in the object-oriented parad

I actually got in touch with the author because of this remark, because this subject wasn't even discussed in the article at all. It looks like virtue signaling to me. Such remarks really make me cringe.
