It’s useful to examine fundamentals now and then.

The problem here as I understood it is more general and orthogonal to what the Parse, Don't Validate article is talking about. 1. A field being "required", is not a property of the field itself, but of the construct holding t

The constructor doesn't have to be private, it just has to be a constructor. For example take this library: https://github.com/google/uuid It represents UUIDs as `type UUID [16]byte`. It would be trivial to circum

I understand where it comes from, but I can't ignore the feeling that this is anxiety driven development. Sure, the farther away from your control and trust circle, the more you're inclined to check assumptions that are already gu

This is very good advice and a great article. It comes up on this site now and then because of it. For those who don't necessarily program in statically typed functional languages: The idea transcends paradigms. You'll find very s

I wonder if the root cause of this is the notion that one can tack "security" onto a system or inject it into a system, instead of it being a holistic perspective, with appropriate use of sub-components and rules.

I thought Mozilla let the Servo team go.

Was that ever a thing on a large scale? From reading Debt by Graeber I got a different impression.

The hard part of game development might be more centralized around complex, big programs that simulate game logic and push tons of complex and mathematically sophisticated data to GPU‘s. On the contrary the complexity web development, distr

Beginners, especially younger ones, crave for guidance. But what they get is often loud marketing and cargo cult behavior. Now it seems to be even worse than when I was starting out. For example YT feeds get spammed with fearmongering and c

While this is true in theory, I often wonder whether it’s true in practice. Our economic models are based on a fundamentally limited image of humanity. This image is sometimes partially true. Even those who claim to maximize shareholder val

This could easily be enforced now. I don't get how it isn't.

Yes, but readable and beautiful are two very different qualities. Rust is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It looks like C syntax but largely expression based like functional languages. It also has a lot of syntax. It is readable with little eff

The post is a bit of a rant and all over the place. Async infecting everything, ugly syntax (who cares?), slow compile times etc. What stood out to me: > In other words, if compilation is fast, the tooling is easy. Andrew Kelley said som

The pointer thing is so relatable. I don’t think we share exactly the same inner visuals, but they all relate to some intuitive understanding. For me there are these unique and abstact visuals but they blend in with code (text) often. When

The dead fish metaphor is so interesting because programs aren’t static objects, they move. Most visual programming environments represent programs in a static way, they just do it with pictures (often graphs) instead of text. Perhaps there

The secondary but perhaps equally important benefit of this book is that it teaches clarity. The text, code, structure and pacing, everything is clear and to the point. „Crafting“ is the right word, because the book feels like it’s written
