This sub-page in the docs is fantastic. Highly recommend reading it: Why the relational model is better than objects https://www.cell-lang.net/relations.html

Thank you very much for this detailed explanation! I'll have to let it sink in a bit.

Interesting! Can you point me to some further reading or resources on these different paradigms?

Thank you for explaining!

Yes, you understood correctly. What I'm saying is extremely radical and would require rethinking and rebuilding practically everything we have.

Thank you for posting, I love that article. Bret Victor is a genius in my opinion and his writings and talks have inspired many of the thoughts I've written above.

Interesting, I'm curious though, once you do drop down to the ASM layer, how do you ensure that this code doesn't get overwritten by new compiler output? Or is this something you somehow include in the compile step?

It would help because you could tackle the problem at hand always at the right layer of abstraction. If a certain aspect of the problem can be solved easily in a higher layer of abstraction, great! Let's solve it at that layer, because

I've long been having a hunch that we're currently in the "wild west of abstraction". I think we're missing an essential constraint on the way we do abstraction. My hunch is that this constraint should be that abstr

What's missing for it to be real education? Genuine question :)
104.
by cloogshicer 3y ago
Imagine a world in which all education was this level of quality. Imagine how much more you'd know, be able to do and understand. I really wish good education was valued more highly in society.

Genuine question: Assuming that humanity would cooperate perfectly, what would the lifestyle we can afford actually look like? Can we afford food and heat for everyone? Electricity? Where is the line?

I'd much rather this tech be open - better for everyone to have it than a select few. The more powerful, the more important it is that everyone has access.

Serious question: What if you run a small blog with a newsletter and some troll comes along and sues you - how do you defend yourself? Even if the troll's claims are completely ridiculous, if you don't have a few $100k lying aroun

Genuinely curious (I don't have much experiences with DBs), how is schema migration done 'properly' these days?

Probably because support volume still increases even if it's not "officially" supported. And then you can't just tell those people to go away, because they'll be pissed off.

And Maps. Don't forget about Maps. That was one of the killer apps too.

This is so great. I'm really curious what Bret Victor's been working on these last few years.

I think this is an excellent observation. Interest definitely matters, but so does talent.

This assumes that climbing the ladder comes easy. To me at least, it doesn't. It requires tedious labor, and lots of repetition for every single step. That's the main difference I keep noticing between me and people who say they l

Interesting. Is it true what they claim? Why is it so much more costly for them to operate in Korea?

Those are excellent suggestions. Thank you!

Thought-provoking explanation that I'd love to see some discussion on. I'd especially love to hear how to mitigate the problems without switching to an entirely new language.
