I'm surprised by the mental gymnastics other commenters in this thread are displaying in order to avoid contemplating how tech can and should be held responsible for its own actions. All the more reason to push for some form of profess

The venerable master Qc Na was walking with his student, Anton. Hoping to prompt the master into a discussion, Anton said "Master, I have heard that objects are a very good thing - is this true?" Qc Na looked pityingly at his stud

A solution half-way to what you're talking about (it still utilises text editing) is Paredit/Parinfer for Lisp languages. They allow you to directly edit the program's abstract syntax tree. When coupled with a REPL you can ev

The bias is caused by a glut of junior developers who don't have the experience to feel comfortable using more than one language. It's one of those ideas that sounds good until you realise the single-language stack you've cho

What does a good answer look like? It could be very easy to veer into a "culture fit" bias against the working class with a question like this.

A truly excellent keyboard, but not particularly ergonomic. I recommend Kinesis Advantage for reducing wrist strain.

Hi Lin Pengcheng, do you have an example of making side-effect calls with Pure Function Pipeline Data Flow method? e.g. database query.

Interoperability + meta-programming? You have to go with the king, Common Lisp! There's a bunch of implementations for different platforms [0]. It's also much simpler to write macros in a homoiconic language like a lisp, than usin

It's a sign of poor management, add a strike against the company in your mental tally then stop caring about it and do your job with a smile. When you can't be bothered with your bad manager/company any more get a different j

I agree with you that there's no direct zero-sum connection between public transport investment and self-driving cars but I'd say that's missing the point. This is a tangent, but there aren't two separate pots of currenc

My original comment is a criticism of how investment is allocated in society. Self-driving cars are (in my opinion) a much lower priority than public transport. If the current allocation mechanism prefers wasting billions (in mine, and the

I'd rather have frequent, reliable and safe public transport than self-driving cars. Can we pour billions of dollars into that instead, please?

Force myself to work on the task or do nothing. This usually means either opening an editor and staring at a blank page (doing nothing), or working on the task.

I agree. If HTML was fit for purpose, why is it almost always paired with a (language/framework specific) templating engine?
