The recommendation of "Crafting Interpreters" is pretty weird. I would argue that more important than the specifics about compilers is a high-level understanding of various ideas in programming language design, and be able to unde

From an outsider's (not living in the US) perspective, the adherence to identity politics there has really gone to the extremes. It is a paradox in itself: if every group emphasizes its uniqueness, its needs to be viewed, heard and tre

It's quite absurd how the discussion around this post seems to have turned into a fight on dogmatism. I guess many presumed "scientists" are just quite hurt by the blunt statement "I don't have that much faith in sc

I see your point but this viewpoint might be veering to another extreme. The truth is probably somewhere in between, as is the case with many other matters. I certainly spent a lot of time taking notes in org-mode but I don't regret it

First I'm very skeptical of the claim that there is any "natural" productivity scale out there. Nobody is born productive or "beyond help", unless they have some sort of mental handicap. It all comes down to what yo

Eventually this does make sense in some ways. It's commonly accepted that you would want to avoid a 10x programmer who is toxic and drags everybody in the team down. So what's the huge difference of that to what you're descri

I wonder how many commenters actually read the article posted here. The validity of this general statement is something worth debating, for sure, but in this particular case, it doesn't seem like that Chairman Phillipson "doesn&#x

Both are valid IMO. Of course you wouldn't choose a spineless clown who only knows to please the others but not actually do any real work (though admittedly this might be what's actually happening in some places). But on the contr

I'm kinda surprised that everything "just works" for Flutter, even on Windows and Linux, which the official documentation seems to say are still in alpha stages and might be subject to breaking changes in the future. I also c

I think it is a pretty widely shared consensus in economics that "the American Dream" was the truest in the beginning of the 20th century, when European regimes were aristocracies and peasants were regularly starving to death. Tha

The professor only said that "they're now becoming aware of the possibility of the virus being transmitted via droplets". So they're not totally sure either. It's all at an early exploratory phase.

I don't think the point is about an apocalyptic image of people cogging up and dying in the corridors or whatnot. It's the lack of equipments like ventilators. Also it's confirmed from many sources that the medical workers ar

Not sure what that has to do with denial of the severity of the virus. Not to mention NYT just published a report confirming that the virus strain in the US mostly came from European sources, instead of Asian ones. Are you equating "av

Never heard about such a thing. Sounds like some sort of conspiracy theory unless you have concrete proof of that. The original hypothesis was that some other animal sold at the market acted as an intermediate host between bat and human,

Not sure if this is a parody or not. So in your logic anything good being said about CCP is surely their propaganda, and they can do nothing else but being evil and destroying the world? Well I have bad news for you: the world is probably n
