Something I've come to appreciate over the last year of studying Mandarin is how well paper works for studying as compared to anything digital. In the past I've often been frustrated by absorbing difficult materials like CS papers

If the writings of Porphyry, Emperor Julian, et al are to be believed, early Christianity was indeed the ISIS of the time. They were reported to systematically destroy temples, kill priests and at regular gatherings they would report their

I don’t think you’re helping your case by holding out Devise as a problem example. Devise is extremely popular, works very well, can easily be extended to support different authentication modes like OAuth, and has saved countless hours for

Not bad! I also feel like it’s worth mentioning that in rust you can extend primitive types with traits. I’ve done that to add some bit-munging helpers while working on a toy Game Boy emulator to make it easier to deal with 16- and 8-bit re

My cynical answer is that we often do, but once they are modestly profitable they get gobbled up by The Business and MBA-types find ways to grow their market share by making it palatable to normals.

In Ruby at least this example would just be an instance method named Weeks on the kernel class and it wouldn’t really be any more clunky to implement than the ActiveSupport flavor. However because Ruby you’re still reopening a class. You’re

The entire Ruby ethos and surrounding APIs are basically all a result of a particular set of personal preferences. One of the core values of Ruby is programmer happiness. That’s obviously qualitative and varies from person to person. That s

My experience in cutting out all the junk like TV to make productive time for myself is that it wasn’t sustainable. I tend to work on side projects to amuse myself, but sometimes even when I am willing to hack on something, my brain is just

Sounds more Nietzschean to me. He said something to the effect of universal literacy wouldn’t be without downsides. The quality of written material would drop as previously illiterate people would write and water down literary culture. Not

It also doesn’t illustrate the real scale of space required to operate each vehicle. A car needs several car-lengths of space between them. Bikes can be operated more closely together. At speed all of these vehicles scale up to more space d

My favorite ActiveSupport monkey patching is on number classes. Things like 2.weeks.from_now are just too useful to scorn monkey patching on some programming ideological reasons.

Not sure why the author chose not to, but personally I’ve avoided use of refinements because of the weird, stateful way that it changes the implementation of a class. It’s too confusing to scan the code quickly and know whether a particular

This sounds more like Brave's shtick, but I agree. I'd love to have a couple of symbols that warned of paywalls, ad/content ratio, cookie consent, etc.

You're not wrong about 80ms being a "small" amount of time, but you're saying that in absolute terms. Native UI tool kits for decades now have targeted <100ms latency[1]. That includes processing user input and render

This is an interesting idea for app-interoperability in general. It brings to mind Apple Automator, which I have no idea how works, but can sometimes be used to make Apps interoperate. It'd be pretty cool if every app did have a sitema

Impossible and fruitless? Contact tracing has been quite effective in Taiwan unless I’ve been completely fooled by propaganda. And contact tracing apps don’t require you to accept general location tracking. They anonymously exchange tempora

The mobile apps for my US and Taiwanese banks are both region-locked to the US and Taiwan. Once I switched my region to Taiwan the Ally app stopped getting updates and eventually wouldn't let me sign into my account anymore.

I agree with GP, and I'll pat myself on the back for having pretty damn well organize data going back over ten years, which has come with me over four computers. I still want powerful search on top of that, but I'm usually much mo

Agree. I hate every electron app I use, but even my longtime macOS favorites are beginning to feel only marginally better. They keep spicing up the UI, removing things that used to be reliable constants across applications and hiding more a

And that's why politicians can and should enact laws that tax these externalities at the industry level. Cars might appear to cost more once the manufacturers pass on the tax to consumers, but that's just because you aren't a

Thanks for your take on it, I really don't want to be the anti-tech curmudgeon so I'm sincerely happy to read a different perspective. Especially your last paragraph makes me feel better. Maybe it's because CNC technology has
