I'm just curious about something on the theoretical level. I think I can see the beauty of it, but if you take the two extremes: - a C++ compiler written in C++ in millions of lines of code - a Perl (PHP, ...) interpreter written in th

Funny, however: a newspaper that learns about what you like and can infinitely supply the most engaging material is not the same as a newspaper that doesn't.

Something I've been wondering about lately: In the pre-Internet era, rumors, incidents, conspiracies, book and movie opinions were passed on verbally. I saw an article nobody else in my circle ever read; a friend watched a movie nobody

Same here! I think at least outside of your day job if you have one, as a tech-savvy person you should use your OS with its standard tools as the TODO app. Of course you could find a better 3rd party mail client, probably a better Notes a

I know at least two more languages where emphasis (stress) is standardized. In French and in Armenian it's always on the last syllable. With some exceptions of course, typically borrowed words, sometimes compound words. The advantage o

That's work from home brilliantly summarized, very true. However, I have my doubts about productivity in smaller teams and startups. Being in the same space physically I think speeds up a lot of things. In small teams and esp. at early

I deleted WhatsApp a while ago so can't say right now. It is a pretty mature app that hasn't added big features in years I think, so I wouldn't expect a lot of bugs in it, but take a look at their version history on App Store

Hundreds of thousands of daily active users, I built both the backend and the mobile app. I think I'm familiar with common problems on both sides. Trust me, dealing with UI platforms is orders of magnitude more pain in the arse if you

A lot of the times the part of the backend that renders pages and handles user input can be assumed to be part of the frontend, I'm not talking about those. I meant backend as an API. I honestly think you've never built a decent s

Someone else has already mentioned in this thread that backends only ever interact with other programs, not humans. This fact alone makes it easier to design, implement and scale. And like I said elsewhere it is in fact so much easier tha

This is exactly why frontends are orders of magnitudes more difficult to build if equal quality standards are applied to both back and front ends. A front end is a state machine that relies on a bunch of enormous framework layers. Give me a

I have known this for many years but found it difficult to explain to others. Backends are so much easier to build compared to frontends, and I mean decent and reliable ones. The attitude of the backend people of looking down upon frontend

That's a very interesting thought and it seems to answer the question in the title (which the linked article doesn't). In theory though there are certain business opportunities in this space that haven't been explored yet, it

EPUB is an under-appreciated format that I think can serve as a short to mid-term storage for human knowledge. Can reasonably re-flow itself when necessary, no language run-time required, just a full Unicode support at least at the level of

Thanks for the ability to have a comma-separated list of locations. Such a trivial and useful thing. None of the alternatives posted in this thread seem to have this.

I also liked the idea that true festivals (and riots) can serve as a regular reminder what it means to not have order in the society. It's a big immersive "what if" show.

That's a great book, one of my favorites. The wealth redistribution post-WW2 had more to do with the war itself than inflation though. So back to the 21st century: what makes you think that those who have excess capital don't inve

I wonder if the price of mobile data per megabyte depends on the population density and larger metropolitan areas vs. rural. I.e. the higher the density the cheaper. At least intuitively should be the case, because otherwise why would the p

People say this without thinking about the consequences. Unfortunately the biggest loser of non-trackable Internet would be small businesses and startups that are trying to find their audiences. The recent changes in iOS for example have le
