I do it way too often when I'm alone. Seems like I'm not as crazy as I thought :)

By "code" mean a syntax/semantics and by "program" architecture/algorithms?

An app which only requires 50-100MB released by a major software vendor in 2020. I am shocked. It's a bit short on features though. Hopefully, that's not going to break its neck.

Kudos for citing Bloomberg as a source.

I thought so as well - up until yesterday when I tried desktop version of Microsoft Outlook. Such an awful experience. Just trying to pick an available meeting room was surprisingly more difficult than on the modern web. And I can hardly se

Sometimes I have a "how awful would it be to do XY" moments. Usually something brutal. But it always makes me pay even more attention to not doing that very thing even accidentally because I definitely do not want to break stuff o

It's harder to believe that there is _no way to leak information_ than the opposite. There is always a side channel, right? Timing is the most trivial one.

Most of the issues outlined are problems of the web. The HTML+CSS+JS combo is just painfully slow and wasteful by design - it's just way too many levels of flexible abstractions. Which is suboptimal for app development. Moreover it&#x2

That's more than a century ago. I was thinking about stuff built like in 1850-1950.

I'd like to see a thorough performance evaluation. JS/NPM based untyped language together with communication via HTTP/JSON sounds painfully inefficient.

Could the goals be accomplished in existing languages, such as Rlang, Haskell, Scala + Akka? Is the added value sufficient for it to find its place?

There seems to be a premise that a programming is actually easy and we are slowly realizing it. Who else finds it flawed? I've seen plenty of open source code, proprietary startup code, corporate code and it is usually shit - full of p

There were less students at his time. If there was a way to plot "average added value" of a master's theses trough out the last century, I'd expect it to be non zero historically and then to exponentially converge to zer

Depends on a country and educational system, right? Yet usually there is someone or some committee which decides whether a piece of work is sufficient for a student to get a master's degree. In other words, they set a bar. The bar can

Cool. I'd expect him to get the Ph.d. in like 20 years after graduation, not two. That's significant.

Was he so talented or has the bar for CS master thesis lowered significantly since then?

Because there simply would be a 3th party app which would ignore the ads? If there was not I'd write one. Simple as that. FB and Google closing their XMPP gateways is an example of a similar issue.

That's such a narrow segment of users. Would it be worth supporting?

I do not get why it got downvoted. Maybe I should have elaborate more. I skimmed the paper and it does not seem to be the case. They only take into account weather.

In the Czech Republic and the neighboring countries the grid operators are state owned, the power plants are mostly private. Works like a charm. We have like minutes of blackouts per year on average. Compare to hours in the US.

Is not there some common denominator, something simple like - there is both more crime and pollution in cities?

Scala has an awesome IDE support, familiar rich JVM ecosystem, familiar syntax, ability to ignore the fact that logging is a side effect... I had a hard time understanding the Haskell ecosystem, plus the syntax is just way too different and

I am a skilled Scala developer with knowledge of FP sufficient enough to make two contributions to the Typelevel cats/kittens ecosystem. Yet I was not even able to start a hobby project in Haskell. I always start and fall back to Pytho
