Another possibility is to change the design based on upstream feedback and adjust the internal codebase to it. By parent’s description, those codebase adjustments are done during the iterative process of feature development too. Upstreaming

How do Neovim and Emacs startup times compare when using Emacs 28’s native compilation of elisp? Obviously hard to compare because they don’t run the same packages but would still be interesting to see ballpark figures of setups with roughl

Have there been any efforts to fork it? 0.19 also prohibited interaction with non-Elm code which I recall a controversy about. But can't seem to find out if anyone forked 0.18 because of that.

Ironically, limiting access to high-compensation jobs by tying them to cities like SF that don’t have enough housing may harm even those who do get employed in SF because their cost of living is high and the economy overall is possibly a do

Why is it not better for Apple to make Swift truly cross-platform? Is it just that the maintenance cost is not worth it? Or would it threaten its ecosystem in a way that I don't understand? It would seem that making Swift cross-platfor

Sometimes the LaTeX document contains many tables or figures that also need to be built. But those can be built in parallel.

That’s how we used to pay for newspapers though. Cable companies use bundling instead and you get a lot of crap that you don’t need but they price discriminate you into.

The post compares it with the enthusiasm about the iPhone as a platform in 2007. A lot of the long hanging fruit has already been done since then, so it takes more effort to get kicks out of shipping an app that people use. Learning a new t

Immaterial to the substance of your point but a 50% speed-up is an improvement from 40x to 20x, not to 30x. X’ X’/Y X’/Y 0.5 = – = –––– = –––– X X/Y 40 X’ => – = 20 Y
