It certainly feels tricky because "radical" can apply to ideas about goals and also to ideas about ways of achieving goals ("tackling problems"). It's hard to suss out people's goals. They might not understand

Some people really like the smell of gasoline or jet fuel or rubbing alcohol, or acetone, which is the order in which I would rank how much I like them from mind-boggling to okay-that-smell-is-kind-of-nice.

Why do you want `julia-pkg add StaticArrays` when you can do `julia -e 'use Pkg; Pkg.add("StaticArrays")'`, though?

What do you prefer as an alternative to a REPL? How do you interact with your programs? What seems broken to me about REPLs is how text-centric they usually are. But I want to be able to easily introspect and play with my programs, and REPL

The boundary where the XML ends and the DSL begins is at least a little arbitrary, but it does have important ramifications. By using XML, you can use the XPath query language to index down to a `path` (the end of the XML), but not within a

I'd say we only do something like that in programming if there's a benefit to using other values for `it` in other contexts, and if we'd like to refer to a template `"It is not worth doing" by name. If you're j

Although it happens often in natural communication, I find there is more chance for confusion, especially by a non-native reader, when a pronoun (or any proform) appears before its ante cedent. So resolving the pronoun with square brackets
