I've heard Walden cited in this context too?

La Technique is excellent and I'm stoked to see someone recommending it. But it's very dense. I imagine it would also be highly frustratig to a lot of people here for its polemic style and his fast-and-loose approach to citations.

I completely agree, but this book tends to be more expensive than people want to commit to out of passing curiosity. I hope that people would be led to purchase the book if they find it worthwhile. I appreciate your remark! (Though I would

A Pattern Language is a fascinating read, and an online copy can be found using DuckDuckGo if you persist. It's interesting both from an architectural/societal point of view, as well as providing a great example of a wiki-like org

Ah, I think that makes a little more sense. Thanks!

I just discovered this from the same author: http://subpixel.space/entries/open-transclude/ It's a much more interesting development in the same direction! The implementation currently only seems to work when

I can't tell, from the blog post or comments here, how the web component is an improvement on just using <blockquote> and <cite>. The styling does look nice, but is that the only real difference?

The developments in WASI's security model are very interesting - see this post: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/03/standardizing-wasi-a-webas...

I am actually really interested to see if something like Deno can take over in programming education.[1] Deno's extremely simple import semantics and built-in tooling could make it a great environment for a learner. They won't hav

I think it's likely that in this context, "ops" refers to the low level runtime primitives Deno provides and implements in Rust. E.g. read bytes from a file. I doubt you could transparently multithread `await` without clashin

I was very surprised at the way they decided to go for `v2`. It seems kind counter to the Go philosophy so far of simplicity, predictability, etc. Now I can't just look at the imports list and apply a very simple mental rule to know wh

Syntax can also help here. Complex or verbose syntax can make bugs that aren't actually subtle much harder to spot. A readable syntax, API, or even an EDSL can make errors more obvious by making incorrect code _look_ incorrect. And of

I guess the question you are begging is: how far can Lisp-LINQ go from the syntax, semantics, and ergonomics of C#'s LINQ before you stop calling it LINQ? Turing completeness doesn't describe expressivity of source code, as far as

A pessimistic or at least skeptical dialectic counterpart to the optimistic/progressive worldview is a valuable thing to have, I think. You can't reach into people's brains and change their temperament (yet! say the optimists

> do this and don't do this, then you may succeed I like to think of startup advice as "necessary, but not sufficient". If you don't do the right things, you probably can't succeed. But even doing the right thing
