Did you enjoy your dinner tonight?
- raphlinus 4y ago
  It was pretty good, my son and I ordered Bangkok Thai on University here in Berkeley. The satay and tom kha gai were excellent, but the chu-chee salmon wasn't as good as the last time we had it. (we got delivery rather than dine-in because of Covid caution)

What's your favorite programming font?
- raphlinus 4y ago
  I will confess, an editor doesn't feel quite right unless it's Inconsolata. Source Code Pro would probably be my second choice - it's the official Rust doc font, and feels good for that.

    10k karma and you use Rust. You've made it, buddy. Pg might phone you any day.

How did you cut your profile down to just a few lines like that?

What is the best research article on UI that you'd recommend to someone new to the field?
- raphlinus 4y ago
  Maybe I haven't spent enough time digging into the academic literature, but I'm not aware of very much that's good. The original Elm paper[1] is quite good but interestingly enough Elm has moved away from FRP. There are blog posts and talks but not as far as I know a paper. The computer science content behind UI is pretty similar to that of build systems, particularly incremental computation and trying to derive dependency graphs, and [2] is a seminal paper on that topic. If other people have suggestions I'd like to hear them.

vim or emacs?
- raphlinus 4y ago
  I still use vim for light editing tasks (mostly when I'm already in a command line), but VS Code is my main, largely because of its excellent rust-analyzer integration. At other times I have used emacs and Sublime.

Well, you do awesome work. I can only hope to maybe one day do anything as cool as you routinely do.
