I look forward to me getting very excited to try this with F#, only to find it requires a pile of hand-spun hacks only comprehensible to the most dyed-in-the-wool Visual Studio user, half-documented scraps of git repos that will only to get

The fake pop-up window isn't new. This does seem a fairly well engineered version of the trick, but sites have been pulling this shit since the 90s. It has been a while since I've seen it though, but then I use an ad blocker so I

I find the framing of “no big backers” kind of weird, considering they do have one big backer in a crypto currency startup that is providing the overwhelming majority of its funding. Sure it’s not the big coffers of Google, but it’s concern

SBCL on some benchmarks outperforms C, and what portions of the code are not completely public domain are MIT/BSD licensed.

Dude, no one pays for desktop software on Windows either, and it's doing fine.

Jamming C syntax into everything is how we get eyesores like ReasonML. A syntax should match the semantics of the language. C style is not the only way to design a programming language and does not fit all domains and semantics.

Hyperapp can do something like this. You can have an action that sends a message for another action. This is how it handles asynchronous HTTP requests for instance: the http() function takes both the URL/params for the request, and the

Not only that, it was a completely undocumented hack in the first place that it was repeatedly communicated shouldn't be used. And I really don't see how JSON parsing is a task that actually needed hacks to work short of massive

If they will not use my free software because of the expectation that they contribute back even a little, then they are not users I want anyway, so who cares? I find the entitlement complex that some software developers have over other pe

Honestly my love of Elm is part of why I'm completely uninterested in Reason and the direction it's taken.

Ender is a survivalist. It's a character trait some people have. He never starts fights, but he finishes them. It is prudent defensive strategy in conflict to neutralize the source in some permanent fashion, just to ensure that this s

The essay doesn't sit right with me to be honest. The author seems to attribute no small amount of intentional malice on Card's part, which their talk of manipulation of the readers, and whatnot. Malice which, at least I believe,

It's like the Singularitists who passionately believe we're somehow going to transfer our consciousness into a machine, despite the fact that thousands of years of philosophy and science from countless angles of study have yet to

There are addons for routing and HTTP requests for hyperapp, and they add trivial amounts to the bundle size. The reason to use hyperapp IMO is it is far closer to the actual Elm-style FRP model, and as such includes functional state manage

The Valley attracts talent only because that’s where all the startup jobs are. If you don’t want to work in startups, or if startups would branch out and stop glomming on to single locations, this would equalize more.

Their “wonderful” hardware costs a lot of money, is chronically underpowered compared to the competition, basically doesn’t exist in some form factors, and regularly comes with unnecessary and user hostile features. Frankly, I can get the s

Sadly the ECMA standard for BASIC never really got adopted by anyone (and is now pretty outdated style anyway). MS Basic kiiinda became as close to a defacto standard as can be described, just because it was the most common and commonly imi

Not quite the analogy I was alluding to. Ie. not so much "FRP in C++" as "C++ : OOP :: ___ : FRP." Though I grant you that C++ could just as easily wind up filling both blanks.

This has been very frustrating to me because it feels like many reactive frameworks for OOP languages are actively muddying the waters. I've had stuff like ReactiveX recommended to me as "FRP" and it's nothing like the f

Sure it's harder than today, but you have to remember that at the time, almost no computers were "plug it in and go". Many of the 8-bit era home computers up to that point, if they were upgradable at all, might require actu

They're also working with ICE, the agency that imprisoned thousands of children. So you know, there's that.

Agreed. This game gets a lot of hate left over from its rubbish launch state, but the game as it exists now is easily my favorite game in the genre since the original. They've very much done what Blizzard has always done best: take a g
