You don’t have to understand lambda calculus LISP style programming, and you don’t have to understand manual memory C style programming. You just need to be able to abstract procedures through functions, closures through classes, and condit

It would be remiss to overlook the role of the church in 19th century American society. There was something of a religious revival. And the nature of a single congregation is that it never grew past the limits of a small, personable organiz

I love this comment because it makes perfect sense today, it made perfect sense 10 years ago, it would have made perfect sense in 1970. The principles of software engineering are not changed by the introduction of commodified machine intell

The best comments are at the bottom. I’ve been twaddling here long enough to know what the most upvoted take will be, so unless it’s a personal anecdote it’s not worth reading. The real juicers are usually buried near the bottom of the page

There are many apps that have utilized formal methods in an attempt to teach languages as optimally as possible. But Duolingo is still the leader in language learning. Why? Language learning is an emotional process. Every word you can bring

If a hastily organized band of teenagers can pull this off, you have to wonder what APTs are capable of.

LiveView already has local first state. The magic in LiveView is how it uses WebSocket connections to the client to keep the client state in sync with the server state. This is why you just need to update the socket and the rest just works.

Well, I’m simply making the point that until recently programming required a certain amount of rigor and precision that is no longer necessary because of AI. And that now we can do the sort of hand-wavy, p-hacky work that has been available

This is the NGO equivalent of vibe coding. The methodology is wrong, the results don’t make any sense, but it feels right. Ship it!

It is a generational difference. Zoomers have a tendency to communicate like Jordan Belfort. Oftentimes it seems scammy but it is prevalent because it sometimes leads to new opportunities.

“Think of the children” is a persistent nemesis of modern civil liberties precisely because people buy it so often! One of the easiest emotional arguments to make is “your children are in danger” because parents have extremely low risk tole

I disagree with your conclusion, but my argument is rather about why a strong censorship and surveillance apparatus exists in UK and PRC and why USA merely has mass surveillance apparatus without concomitant mass censorship. Another fea

UK and PRC need a censorship apparatus because they are one party states. UK is a monarchy based on a religious aristocracy. PRC is a socialist state with Chinese characteristics. Memes can destroy these countries because they can delegitim

The apparatus we call GFW is really a Chinese CDC for memes. The CDC expects novel strains of bird flu every year, it’s okay, they closely monitor the situation, research the novel strains, cull risky populations, and develop vaccines for w

What's surprising to me is that internal migration in the US is actually down from its peak. People today are more likely to live in or close to their hometown than they were in the 20th century. Part of this is simply because urbani
