I'm not sure that AI will always be "convenient". We're currently in the rose-colored glasses phase, a lot like object-orientation was back in the '90s. It'll probably never go away, but in a few years everyon

This is an interesting take. It maps decently to the "first to market" mentality of a lot of programming these days. For sure, we'd get better programmers if they were judged by the quantity of code they produced in their per

I disagree. For whatever reason, most proficient readers I know have an intuition about the correct pronunciation of a word even if they’ve never heard it spoken before. And even if they use an intuitive pronunciation that isn’t identical t

This post presents why object oriented programming is harder than it looks. “I’m gonna return a pizza because I want a pizza ” When of course, what one really wants is a pizza in a box. And the oven objection is also kind of funny. It lead

The rule is referring to application plugins and extensions. In the early 90s, there was an antipattern in lots of large applications to evolve an extension language that was originally just a dialect of a config language of some kind. Then

The view that addiction is a disease is still contentious. Addiction may really be the brain functioning normally, but with abnormal stimuli. Brains are learning organs. Addictive substances don’t rewire it any differently from “normal” sti

Even a few tens of thousands of people is less than 1% of the people making an attempt. He’s right in being skeptical that “people” (who?) thought that “being a creator” was a viable career path, as the article suggests was the case.

I hope you're joking. Spider-man is owned entirely by Sony. It is only by a tenuous contract that Disney was able to get Spider-Man into the MCU.

When I was using macOS regularly, CotEditor was my go-to text editor before I learned Emacs. Compared to XCode, Netbeans, and Eclipse, it had a miniscule memory footprint (somewhere between 10 and 20 MB). It wasn't as fast as Sublime f
