   Many names put out there, but not much substantiation. If you are going to drop a name, could you explain why it is well written/engineered?

   But isn't the fact of being smart and working at a big company selecting for exactly this trait?

   Urbit really feels like a case of aesthetic-oriented programming. I'm not sure what problems (if any) it's intended to solve, but HEY IT LOOKS COOL.

   Many people are complaining that the standard library still uses callbacks and so even though you have async/await, you can't use it with the standard library. I wholeheartedly agree. I don't understand why someone hasn'

    The industry perspective is that nobody cares (and rightly so). I was at the conference where this was presented. The paper is terrifically written, and it's good that someone is investigating this. That being said, it's just not

    There are different ranks of bullshit. But it regularly pops up even in fields populated almost exclusively with smart and critical people (e.g. academia). May I suggest that maybe you are not attuned to nth-order bullshit? It's relati

    Ah, the mighty diagram. It's been a while. It reflects the mainstream and very unfortunate view of academia inside academia. (Disclosure: I'm a PhD student)

    Is this really something to be happy about? Even ignoring technical considerations (the dizzying amount of code and cruft required to run a watch ), it goes against one time-honored watch tradition: simple, elegant mechanics.

    Bookmark sync should be provided by an add-on (so that it can sync cross-browser as well). There's Xmarks and given that Vivaldi has some compatibility with Chrome Addons, this should work (if it doesn't, improving addon compat sh

    That's just snide without a point. I'll provide one for you though: despite what it claims ("becoming actors"), all these thoughts aren't really actionable.

    Well except that they have vulnerabilities that the aforementioned agencies can exploit. So pragmatically, it's the same thing. Even disregarding vulnerabilities, these OSes are not secured by design. Keeping your OS secured is a stron

    I don't really have a better suggestion. Ideally, making sure that the feeds would raise some kind of error condition in all feed readers, but I doubt there's something universal like that. Maybe the "still working" mess

    Very useful! What worries me: when this eventually fails, I won't know it's not working anymore (partially the fault of my feedreader, but still).
