Turning Off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in iOS 11 Doesn’t Actually Turn Them Off(motherboard.vice.com)

OTOH, iOS 11 makes it harder to turn off your wifi and bluetooth radios [0], by fooling you into thinking you've done so when really they just disconnected you, so there's that. I don't think they're nearly as privacy-f

It may be hard to imagine, but even today not every user is running a browser built in the last year.

Oh my, you can't read text with serifs? That sounds like a horrible affliction!

That's not a fair conclusion, at least based on that one statement.

Practically will the effect be all that strong? It doesn't seem like a winning argument to say "voters: let's charge Airbnb taxes and also make sure we're welcoming to neo-nazis!"

We'll just do the same thing. Call the three systems BMT, IND, and IRT.

You can consider it as a tree, but it's usually not a tree in the conventional data structures sense. It's almost always of a constant depth, and so is, in fact O(1). The vast majority of Redux states look something like this:

The in-the-wild code I've seen that uses Sweet.js has been atrocious. Of course I'm not saying that this is necessarily the case. I'd love to see some real world examples whter this is used effectively.

I didn't say WASM was a restricted subset of JavaScript. I understand that it is a lower-level virtual machine, and that in fact it provides some primitives that asm.js doesn't (e.g. 64 bit integers). My point was that if you&#x

If the problem is really just JavaScript itself WASM won't be able to help -- WASM is basically just asm.js, which is just a restricted subset of JavaScript, but easier to parse and optimize.

I'm excited but I'm also cautious. I'm not sure that WASM has a slam dunk story in terms of many web-native concepts, for instance asynchronous execution. The browser APIs will likely lag far behind JS, and DOM integration

The old quote from Howard Aiken may be relevant here: "Don't worry about people stealing an idea. If it's original, you will have to ram it down their throats."

> it's nicer than C++ What do you mean by nicer? The tradeoff here seems to be exchanging useful functionality for a leaner, more limited interface. I'm not sure I agree that the right decision is to forsake the full power of

Hi! Always fun to see new language ideas and watch them grow. I think the general idea is interesting. However, I suspect that you're underestimating the complexity of the things you've mentioned. I don't mean to be too ne

That's not what I meant, but that is also a good observation.

It's not easy to talk specifics, since as far as I can tell the example in the README is currently unimplemented - there's no comparable test and there doesn't seem to be any code exporting the APIs used there. But from what

Meh. Looks like a fun toy, but it seems unlikely that this adds much value over directly modifying the LLVM IR. If you've understood enough about the LLVM model to write these constructs you're better off using the C++ API. Tha

Umm... it IS that IR nonsense. This example directly manipulates LLVM IR.

I think you're setting up a false dichotomy. There are codebases other than just legacy and greenfield projects: high-quality, well-structured and well-maintained code. I would agree that if all you work on is greenfield you're

If you see flow as being time when someone is hammering away on a keyboard you completely misunderstand the concept. Flow is how developers avoid writing code.

Context switching isn't free, so you shouldn't pretend like it is. You mention lunch, but that's a facile comparison: humans need calories, and if a person is in a flow they can take lunch solo and continue the thought proce

Cons is not exclusively a Lisp operation, Haskell's lists (among other languages) are implemented with cons: [1,2] is syntactic sugar for 1:2:(). And the parens are also part of the Haskell syntax, not something added to make it look

Well this article is certainly trying to demonstrate itself through a meta-circular hiding of complexity. But it just comes across as overly simplistic.

Anything in the present tense would be preferable. Just a one letter change would be an improvement: "How I Become A Better Programmer". If it's in the past tense, possibly some indication that he's partway along the j
