I actually agree fully (thanks for the link) and that doesn't remove your agency in picking the tools and when and how you use them. People need to be more aware of the cognitive results of using their particular selection of tools.

I think it's a continual and repeated mistake to equate continuously blogging/facebooking/newsreading/messaging as "the internet". The digital world is just another tool in the human toolbox, how you use it is

Aside from your specific point (which I liked), isn't there a kind of tension here in a systems language? For loops are almost always going to explicitly show their allocations whereas the functional version has allocations that are no

This really looks interesting, I'd love to _read_ more about it. I have two major concerns after watching the video through. First is the spreadsheet ui. Much of the drama and nonsense with bad spreadsheet programming is related to not

I appreciate the spirit and the knowledge that you wrote this blog post with BUT - The extra few seconds to put this in a .sh file in the first place ... priceless. Even for the basic case of debugging it and getting it working. I don'

I'm really pleased to see the activity level in Wine. It's clearly a long struggle with a horrible beast but they are brave souls for doing it. I think this will all be increasingly significant with Steambox coming along so nicely
