Not sure if UWB-enabled devices are also capable of sensing spatial position of other devices (i.e. phone A is on the left of the phone B), but I'm already envision how this can be used to create screen-to-screen file moving feature –

Is there any good book that provides an overview and reasoning behind all those concepts in this timeline?

Thanks, that's interesting point. I see how it might be useful, but it's still looks as a minor optimization that doesn't outweigh the drawbacks of the model. How do you deal with a situations when you have non-async/awa

Reading through comments on async/await-related articles, I wonder if I'm the only person who find the whole concept of async/await utterly weird. Specifically I have troubles embracing the need to mark function as "asyn

This is false dilemma fallacy – there is no link between "unable to fix roads" and "s/Kiev/Kyiv/" renaming. "Kiev" is a transcription from Russian – which was an official language in USSR, but is

In Ukraine many people strongly believe that Kolomoyskiy has sponsored presidential campaign for Zelenskiy - comedian, who played president on TV (on the TV channel "1+1" that belongs to Kolomoyskiy) and won elections. Supposedly

Can you provide any support to the claim that mind is "n dimensional"? My understanding is that findings in grid cells research suggest that brain's mechanism to deal with spatial information is exactly "3-dimensional&qu

Fair point. I don't see how to outperform text in expressing logic and computation visually either. The problem here is a scale – what works for cookie recipes, doesn't work for "recipe" on how to build a Boeing plane, f

I got the pun, but that's actually interesting point. Natural text also has both spatial and temporal components: when you read fiction, some paragraphs describe the scene, the character, the relationships, and others – how they evolve

Nice. I've been doing similar drawings a lot – on whiteboard, on paper, on tablet, a few times even drawing them to use as the argument in pull-request debates, because words weren't enough to show the point.

Thank you for sharing this. I've seen mentions of this book before, but haven't read it. Adding her works to my watch/read list now!

I'll probably disagree here. Symbolic meaning is attached to the abstraction only on the second stage, when you have to express it. You can totally understand things and their relationships without attaching words to them – actually, p

First, Go had package management – it just has been optimized for monorepos. Second, since early days of Go, they said that acknowledge their Google monorepo bias, and can't implement package manager that works for everybody without un

The fact is Go team learns from other implementations and it's clear from talks and articles. Another fact is that you're accusing them in having the "mindset of refusing to look at established work". Those two facts don

I disagree, as I remember a lot of talks and articles from Go team members where they discuss in detail established work in other languages – on GC, on language evolution, on generics and so on – and deliberately learn from them to avoid sa

It's a great example, as it shows the complexity of the discussed topic and attempt to justify any changes to the language/stdlib. In the above-mentioned comment rsc replies to another Googler, not to "community". So we

Go team is actually incredibly open and approachable if you meet them at conferences. Google (as a company) has little influence on the language design design. Its needs has shaped design (obviously), but it's not like there are requir

It's a dangerous type of articles that deliberately turns community against Go team, based on misunderstanding or plain false accusations. Go team said many times that generics are technical issue, not a political one. (see [1] by rsc
