The year is 1996. Microsoft's homepage has a menu bar that expands when you move your mouse over it. I am determined to figure out how this works. At the time, IE has a "view source" button, but it's not very platform aw

+1 to this. I no longer even associate with the religion that required us to do preparation, but still look back with appreciation on this event. And while I would not be in favor of any state or religious requirement, I still wish it were

RIP, Dean. I miss the days of this kind of ethos being central to the web.

This is actually very common for any kind of security fingerprinting use-case in the browser, especially in banking/payments. If you work forwards from "wow, fonts are a weird fingerprint technique" it seems clever. But the r

Is it wild to imagine an ethically-run company has salary bands based on levels and makes offers within those bands based on maintaining internal equity? I don’t naively believe all or most companies do this. But I have been a hiring manage

I'm glad this idea resonates with you. Please take a look and send feedback on docs or features improvements we could make!

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Europe organized itself quite rationally along the lines you suggest. The old dynastic borders and multi-ethnic states went away and German, Italian, Polish, Russian, etc. nationalities each aligned rea

Well, it's complicated. I'm not trying to criticize this work, which is really cool, but it doesn't really tackle the hard part of types in an Erlang-style concurrent system. To learn about the challenges of typing complex co

Yes, you can definitely find places where kids still play by themselves in the US! But it takes work and the regional and even neighborhood-level differences in kids' behavior are enormous. We used to live in suburban Washington DC and

Are you joking? I've worked as a programmer for 13 years, mostly in the same two languages. But my reading list is longer than ever and my thinking-to-coding ratio is higher than ever. Unless my employers are regularly lying to my face

I certainly don't mean to imply a conspiracy theory, any more than Alexander would say that the past century of poor architecture is deliberately brought about by a conspiracy of architects. It's simply a case of the environment b

Or, indeed, to look at Alexander's work since this book, which has gone in a direction very similar to the programming world. In "The Nature of Order", Alexander shows how the idea of "good design" is actually best

Absolutely agree. Similarly, I think we are finding that if you want to program reasonably on distributed hardware or over state spaces too large to hold in memory, you need a programming environment that constrains your ability to specify

That sounds like a good description of operating systems, programming languages, databases, or any of dozens of other abstractions that work great, enable people to use them as black boxes without worrying about the details, and also are re

You seem to conflate "allowing ambiguity" with "not requiring specification of extraneous detail." It is not a new mistake. Many people thought that programming with GC, or with high-level languages, or with generics, wa

Does it? Except for very sophisticated organizations, I doubt it. You don't hear about intrusions into self-hosted source repositories. Not because there are fewer, but because they likely don't have the security infrastructure in

Indeed. The model is seeded with only two interesting bits of information: agricultural capacity and military technology. They then compared that model with one that only knew about agriculture. Because the first model was more predictive,

Presumably the commenter intended the opposite relationship: a growing Chinese economy means more money to spend on luxuries like ivory.

You don't see a difference between "it's ten years later and we are going to free you, sorry" and "it's ten years later and you're dead, sorry"? Neither is good enough, of course, but one is still a h

The two of you are agreeing: "isomorphic" in this context means "the server can render it to html and serve it like a normal webpage".

No, but the pattern is: if you and I live on both sides of a troublesome neighbor, we will probably get along.

I just wanted to say thanks to the authors of Bucklescript. Not sure if I'll ever get to use it in a production system, but definitely awesome tech. I played with it a little bit and I think an OCaml React app might actually compile fa
