That's not a problem with the chisel, that's a problem with the carpenter. The chisel should be wholly abstracted away from the designer's perspective.

Why should they have to do this? Is a carpenter required to explain to an interior designer why they have a preference for a particular type of chisel?

So long as you define 'mature' to mean 'in line with the average HN reader's ego and self-image', you're pretty much on point.

Potentially look into VEX? It's not cheap, but it's good fun.

Sadly, not everything is yet on the new gov.uk site. But those thing which are tend to be presented very well indeed.

I'm pretty sure the parent comment was made in jest.

It's an emergency. Who cares about flatspotted wheels? Parts can be replaced.

I think this is what 'sonder' is supposed to mean, but the purpose of that word is pretty much wholly to appear in Buzzfeed lists.

Hi Scott, Shtetl-Optimized's tagline is famously "Quantum computers would not solve hard search problems instantaneously by simply trying all the possible solutions at once". What phrase do you think should replace 'tryi

Worth noting that these days, Will Cooke is a host on the Late Night Linux podcast - so if this interests anyone, they might be interested to listen in as he will surely talk about it on an upcoming episode.

It's even worse than that - it's like Portugal changing its name to Iberia. The vast majority of historical 'Macedonia' is in Greece.

There's a big difference between a dev board and a credible desktop system, but things are certainly looking promising.

Hopefully at some point in the vaguely near future we'll see RISC-V come to the fore as a credible desktop architcture.

On my browser, this page flashes raw HTML before it displays the rendered page - not a nice experience. I don't like the idea of this at all, anyway - surely it's better to render content once rather than render it thousands or ev

At least here in the UK, all high-quality CS courses emphasise a functional language in the first year. The rigour and purity is important for teaching abstract concepts.

It's still a nice story. If nothing else, we learn he's helpful. Some who are knowledgable about PLT and compiler design would've sneered and said 'go read the Dragon Book'.

Fossil is great software and it's worth mentioning that it's written by the creator of SQLite. I'm using it to version-control my dotfiles and it works nicely.

`From our own correspondent` is absolutely superb - and a perfect antidote to clickbait and shallow, substanceless journalism. Real stories with real depth, told masterfully and sensitively - definitely worth tuning in for.
