What comes next, IMO, is semantic version control. Version control that is aware of changes not at the file and line level, but at the function level, the module level, the library level, the language-specific construct level. (Rich Hic

Eh, I've been using https://quire.io for Flowy-like task management for my team and it's been great. Relevant here as it has single-key shortcuts for actions and is an infinitely nested task list, but unlike Flowy, wor

I'm more interested in the Nix/Guix approach, where you get the benefit of exact version linking, but also an "immutable" version controlled OS, so things like Puppet aren't necessary to manage state. (And likewis

Pretty sure it will not. Nothing is lazy in JS by default: > One caveat of spreading iterables: JavaScript creates an array out of the elements of the iterable. That might be very wasteful for extremely large collections. For example, if

As a lefty, the ink's drying speed is key, but also, the size and shape of the nib. Lefties should be using big bulbous bold 1.0+ tip nibs that glide across the page instead of stab into it. Unlike a rolling ball pen, it won't ski
