Interestingly enough, my experience has been the opposite. I liked the concept of the Touch Bar at first, then got one with a new macbook. I liked it at first, but the more I use it, the more I hate it. Yes I spent time using it, yes I cu

They don't have the same precedence. foo bar { ... } # bar receives the block foo bar do ... end # foo receives the block The later, paired with the non-mandatory parentheses for calls, allows to read and write some really

Ease of embedding has been pointed out. Another reason for using Lua in games is that its garbage collection strategy is well-suited for the task. Python uses reference counting (which has a predictable performance profile but can lead to l

In an article that argues that something is or is not a language, I would expect the term to be defined first. Ironically, a definition for the term "define" is given.

Another comment, at the risk of sounding like a crazy fanboy. After years of use, I still can't get enough of D3, it doesn't feel like JavaScript yet it fully embraces the best parts of the language. It is indeed a lot more diffic

I must admit that when I combine D3 with modern general-purpose frameworks I prefer to use the provided views/components as simple containers and use only d3 inside. I love the "transformative" approach (as opposed to the &qu

by hashmal 7y ago
One of the reasons I love d3 is that it's built on standards such as CSS and SVG/HTML. They are so widespread you can't go wrong learning them, and that knowledge is immediately usable elsewhere (other related benefits includ

I can only recommend the "Simple Made Easy" talk by Rich Hickey. I suppose it can be said that Scheme is very simple but hard for many, while Ruby is very complex but easy for many.

Can you elaborate on why/how they suck? Do you have example links, to set a common ground for the conversation? I think most fonts that get your attention suck, the best ones are invisible and get you directly to the meaning of text, w

I agree about monospaced text in code editing. I was thinking about uses such as code excerpts in literature (class names, inline bash commands, etc). Monospaced fonts[1] plays a major role in helping reading and understanding the content.

"monospace" is a property of a given font but is not (usually) a variant of a single font family as is "bold" (font weight). While bold text is often used for emphasis and setting it to "regular" doesn't c

When you go to a restaurant you let the chef prepare food for you. Telling him to back off and let you cook because he can't know better than you (his user) would be absurd. Same thing with design and typography. It requires skill and
