The "About", "Documentation" etc. links at the bottom (footer) don't work for me unfortunately; is it just me, or are they so for others too?

This interestingly leads I believe to the "let it crash" philosophy of Erlang (and apparently Akka?) -- see e.g.: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?LetItCrash , https://lwn.net/Articles/191059/

And then there's Haskell, with it seems to be customary to define new operators extremely often; so much so than I can't cope with the speed trying to invent and memorize how to read them subvocally, unfortunately.

Arrow's still rather on the 'plus plus' side of things anyway - maybe not 'minus greater than', but generally describes the look of it. If one would call ++ 'increment', one should call -> 'field&#

I suggest you try https://github.com/garyburd/go-explorer too! (From creator of godoc.org.) In short words, it's godoc with hyperlinks (in your vim). I use it both for doc (so I don't have to switch to browse

hmm; "[citation needed]", although I've already found something via Wikipedia: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/1999-q2/msg00419.html "[...] Knuth definitely wrote most of the code himself, at

Also, how about: - Donald Knuth (TeX, METAFONT); even more surprising here given that he's mentioned in the article a few times on other accounts; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Knuth - Fabrice Bellard (QEMU

I thought about it for a while, and then it occurred to me, that there are actually many ways one could possibly understand that -- thus replying e.g.: - cat - "cat" - 'cat' - panther (not exactly a cat, but kinda -- tha

As to NoScript: - from a linked Mozilla blog post: > [...] A major challenge we face is that many Firefox add-ons cannot possibly be built using either WebExtensions or the SDK as they currently exist. Over the coming year, we will seek

A corollary is that actual bugs tend to become the sturdiest, longest lasting fragments of code. Because they're by definition incorrect, so no one can really fully and correctly "describe why they're there", and thus pe

Also, there's an ongoing development effort on "Red" programming language [1a][1b][1c], originally attempted as a +/- open-source clone of REBOL (given that original REBOL had a proprietary license, and after version 2 w

Thanks for writing the comment for me! :) Reassuring to know I'm not alone.

The longer version of your answer (in response to cja's comment below), helped me understand your thoughts on that. Thanks a lot!

As to the engineering in finance & ads, I fully understand that, but the issue for me is with the topic and goal, or how it's gonna be used. So, this argument doesn't really work for me. As to the second part, about finding wo

Hmh; I think there might have been kinda misunderstanding (?) - I'll edit my comment to change "interesting" to "nice", hopefully this way it will better express my original intent. In other words, big thanks for ma

Hmmm! some nice stuff there besides the "hnwatch" itself: - it's apparently written in "FASM" assembler, which is BSD-licensed (according to Wikipedia), cross-platform, self-hosting (?), Intel-syntax (my preferred c

Hmmm, personally, I have rather mixed feelings about this. I'd really like to be excited, but so far, I'm not. (And, on a somewhat tangential note, also I'm fairly surprised not to see any voices similar to mine here in the c

Thanks for the reply! Most of them make much more sense now. As to 1. and 2., I'd say you could want to consider merging those clarifications into the original article. In 1., arguably some background knowledge of Unity could be expect

Hm, still not quite sure how that'd help; one still has to edit all that places, no? and in case one had "#else nothing", I don't see how that's more useful in any way. And the suggested "do something sensible

I'm scratching my head after this article, not really sure if the author really believes in what he's complaining on fully? For me, those are kinda nice "wishes", in that if they happened, the porting team would have les
