Just stop already. Nobody notices these kinds of things, and if they're offensive to anyone, that's their problem. It's a math problem as old as the 1800s for gods sake. Stop already. Why, out of everything that is important

Just how prevalent is Rust in the industry? I remember trying it out back in 2014 and saw nothing of interest, as a Haskell user. A lot of the main "selling points" of Rust are getting introduced in C++. Also, what is it about Rus

I blocked most of Reddit (also, deleted my account) when I say this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSVqoW1rz6w&t=850

I mean, it's time to accept that JS is everywhere. Or, you can do something like Stallman, and have a remote machine send screenshots to you, so you don't have to run non-free JS.

We occasionally spend 20 min on Tuesday and Thursday, at around 14:00. That's enough for us. But then again, we're in a very unusual position as a team.

There's a reason people have their ideas in the shower. That's the last place on earth that is still not invaded by the smartphone. And that's why showers > baths.

Oh, he's improved over the years. You should watch his very first presentations, during the Quake era. I think he's taken some speaking lessons to diminish his "uhms". But yeah, he's fearless of the public, which re

I mean, I believe that there should be a Hippocratic Oath in software, but I'm not sure where your particular cutoff bar stands. My view of software is against the mainstream: most programmers should dedicate their time to build tools

Now imagine if the people working on the lower level stuff had the same attitude. Imagine if the codec implementations were slow because we need more features. Imagine if the graphics people never gave a damn about perf, just like the &quot

Which should tell you something. The vast majority of tech advancements are because of hardware, not software. I think that software people should feel a bit of shame at this point in time.

I use Haskell because it actually delivers on the promise of software reusability. In his book, John Ousterhout wrote a wonderful phrase: "increments of software development should be abstractions, not features.". I completely agr

I'm starting to think that every thread about FP is pretty much identical on HN, especially when Haskell is involved. If you still need a ton of push to try it out, you'll never get it. If decades upon decades of provably superior
