What is the point of this blog post? It appears to be about arguments in the Internet in general, but its implied point seems to be a rant against low-level programming.
- lukevdp 7y agoI took it as an observation on internet arguments and not about the programming concepts that were presented as examples.
- xupybd 7y agoI don't think it had a focus on low level programming. It merely used people missing the difference between the domains best suited for each as an example of missing the point. Often the low level example was used as the example of someone missing the point. But I don't think that was intentional.
- nottorp 7y agoIts arguments are perfectly correct, however it exposes the state of mind that has lead us to javascript "apps" eating gigabytes of ram because they instantiate Chrome 3 times. Yep, there's a price to pay when you're afraid of low level programming. Sadly you make us all pay that price.
- yoz-y 7y agoThat's quite a slippery slope though, from garbage collection straight to 3 instances of chrome.
