I've worked for nearly 8 years remotely in Belgium. Further to that I moved here from the UK and started working remotely at the same time. The only people I knew were my parter and her mother who we were living with. The other in-laws

For the rest of us I agree, but I think Alan Kay was much closer to his work. From the Smalltalk history he'd met Engelbart in 67 a year before the demo. Probably my biggest regret is how long it took me until I realised how important

I keep thinking of Tesla as a battery manufacturer. I don't know enough to know where Panasonic ends and Tesla begins. I know they share the gigafactory and I've seen it a few times on HN that it's Panasonic that have the kno

I think it was more everything that Engelbart stood for together with his report on Augmenting Human Intellect rather than the demo alone. > This was in early 1967, and while we were pondering the FLEX machine, Utah was visited by Doug E

The main threat that Tesla has been so far is to German luxury cars. I find it odd that they weren't mentioned.

The main dislike I had of using Material Design was trying to make it not look like just another Material App. With bootstrap the basic buttons are fairly simple, so distinctive theming was easy, but with all the shadow and shimmer effect

I initially stared at that with horror, but I suspect that Stack Overflow does something similar with their code snippets. If you write console.log it gets output to the screen [0] [0]: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49968

> Data persistence. We add a proxy backup function to each object that is fired when modifying its content. This makes me think of database triggers, which would imply that it's quite easy to implement dark patterns with Proxies.

Yeah, lazy evaluation is the big feature of generators. Given that it's such a powerful feature of Haskell it's definitely worth investigating them.

> But the best number shown is 23% growth over 31 years, 1979-2010. I think that qualifies as lack of growth. For reference, the GDP grew 230% in those years. The video states this too near the end - that 23% over 31 years can also be se

Personally what I love about JavaScript is that it brought the basics of functional programming to the masses. Obviously it's far from pure FP, but I think it's much more at the heart of JS than it is say Python. The Scheme parts

That's good to hear. As long as it's useful for some people that's all that matters for the people that created it. It's not like there's much evidence about the best way to learn Vim so your anecdote is as good as

I got comfortable on the basic Vim keys using shortcutFoo [0], plus actually diving in to using it full-time. Learning Vim takes full time usage as you need to switch over your muscle memory. I still find that GVim is brilliant for beginner

Concorde is about 4x faster than an airliner with a fairly limited range. BFR is 10x faster with global range. The point being that you can do 10x the trips and make 10x the money compared to airlines. Plus there's no taxiing around an

I don't particularly want to either. But then I don't want to subject my local hairdresser to Google's assistant either. I'd rather just restrict myself to the ones that provide a website.

But this is what websites are perfect for. Perhaps some of the best places are the ones that don't have an online presence but I don't know of many. From the other way I can see the sense, but the ones that are terrible don't
