Having been a haskell programming I kind of think it's type system is too powerful. I feel like I run into more problems of being unable to figure out all the type-level hackery and abstraction in a Haskell library, than I do of &quot

I think the user needs to notice a lot of improvements, at all at once, because firefox really feels hopeless at this point. I don't know though, maybe a slow turnaround will work, or a sudden rendering integration will be the turn aro

It would make no sense to de-emphasize servo. It seems like it would make a lot of sense to de-emphasize Quantum/firefox/everything mozilla is wasting their time and money on that isn't Servo. I hope that either mozilla is l

I also don't understand how using company property justifies ownership of intellectual work. What about using a company pencil should give you the right to any sketches I produce with it?

I replied on github, but can you confirm that you ran loc with a warm cache? If not, can you elaborate on what hardware you're running on? I'm going to have to do more digging on the discrepancies later, but I'm not confiden

Wow, I've read about half the intro to computer systems textbook and had no idea there were lectures online. Very exciting. Thank you.

This is why I think there's room for another bigtime language that hits the rust sweet spot of functional-flavored imperative programming with a GC.

I think it's pretty hard to get into a "playing to win" mindset at any age. At least it is/was for me, it's hard to let go of the joy of winning through clever or flashy moves and focus on the joy of winning a high

I feel like Thiel and any other people who deviate from the SF party line are the ones who should be thinking the way Popper does in that quote. I think that was how you meant it to be read but I'm not sure. That they're unable to

I believe there's decent support for the idea that you could just teach them nothing until they reached the age of understanding, and theyd pick it up pretty much just as quick without the years of rote.

I wanted to remove the login (or set up a dedicated demo page) when I planned on posting it in a week or so but this seemed like an opportune time to drop a link. I assumed someone just changed the guest password, but it appears the databas

It's always beneficial but is it always more beneficial than going to the gym, being with your kids/SO, sleeping more, etc? Everything has a cost. I'm very heavy on learning for learnings sake but I don't like the way it

I think the guy from fluentforever has the general pattern down correctly: 1) learn phonetics and pronunciation 2) learn a base of of the most common words (he has a list of 625 words, I think wikipedias "simple english" word requ

I think wordlists and learning tons of vocabulary through deliberate study are generally underrated. However, I do agree that once you've got a good foundation, pulling words from texts is a great idea. I think the ideal thing to do i

One interesting thing I saw recently was that it might be the case that students in "better" education systems might also be doing well because they were going to do well regardless. From a semi-recent slatestar link thread[0] (Ty

I found a tweet from 2015 via google and wanted to see the surrounding discussion. I couldn't find a way, so I tried just holding page down on the feed, trying to infinitely scroll my way to it. After around 5 minutes it stopped load

Easier than editing a config file, but not easier than hitting jk or kj. Just take the second to map it.

Simple made easy is my favorite but I'd also just generally recommend everything by Rich Hickey, Gary Bernhardt, and Jonathan Blow.
