I used to have a similar dream all the time. Always felt a passage through time and space with a terrible sense of dread and confusion. Turns out I have sleep apnea and as soon as I got a cpap the dreams went away.

As someone who is trying to use pixelmator after 25 years of photoshop there is a lot of muscle memory to overcome.

Seems to me the best thing is to make it as easy as possible for the maintainer (clear, with environment and steps to reproduce). The majority of maintainers want to iron out any bugs they have and the more of a checklist item the report i

The big thing I find fascinating about it is the live environment. You can explore and change every single piece of code while it’s running. There’s really nothing else out there that does this except maybe lisp and even there you give up

Our NYC school tried to make a quick switch from zoom to google meet when zoom was having issues with people porn bombing meetings. It was not a smooth transition and took over a week before we saw all the teachers and kids on it. The kids

You’ve probably viewed another article or 2 on medium. If you open in a private tab the paywall will likely not be there.

It’s reasonable, just hard to take seriously coming from a company that skirts around laws and regulation as a business model.

This has always bothered me. In the US there is no way I have seen beyond running your own business to negotiate the time spent working. When I started in the work force I thought taking a smaller salary for 4 day work week would be a rea

“And” also helps with some of the upsides and downsides to it. Meritocracy is great as a motivation to push yourself forward and keep working towards a goal. Deciding everything is based on luck really saps from that. Merit is also used

His writing on lisp and the life of his startup were much better reads. He may have some valid points but it is hard to read a really rich person (who got rich really young) handwave away large swaths of society.

Clojure spec seems like the way to go. I really like that it defines what should be going in and out while leaving it really easy to merge incoming data without having to write a bunch of extra code.

I think it’s the wrong metric to look at. Static typing still leaves plenty of room for bugs. The capability and discipline of the team would likely be more of a factor than the type system so the studies would be hard to get right. Howe

This is a really underrated take on the issue. These “simple” errors become a huge issue when you are trying to track them down. There are no codes or namespaces so you end up having to be really diligent about how you log and wrap them.

Snap spent an awful lot of money on the facial recognition tech they acquired. I’d imagine the investment was somewhat worth it even it only slowed down competitors time to market.

I have a 2560x1440 monitor at home and 2x 4K monitors at work. I like my home setup better because the tools I spend most time with (vscode and Xcode) lock all their panels to one window making the real estate more important then the pixel

I had a lot of the same issues and finally started to enjoy using smalltalk once I just gave up on the idea I was going to use it for anything practical. After that I found squeak to be just fine to play around with. From my perspective as

Swift is great but is starting to suffer from feature bloat. I really loved the simplicity of objective-c. If you can get past the syntax you find a very thin wrapper on top of c that lets you do really fun things. I don’t think I’ve eve

One thing that would be very different from a windows transition is that Apple is much more aggressive about pulling support for backwards compatibility. MS spends a lot of energy to support really old software for businesses whereas Apple

Doing something like this would be the smart move. If the do this they’re going to need to give developers lead time to get their software up to date.

It’s funny because I’ve only started using it recently and what really captivates me is the live environment. The fact that you can dig in and evaluate/change everything in the same environment you are running it provides an amazing f

Wow a lot of care was put into making a complete out of the box readable library but not including too much fat. Looking forward to my weekend.

The media (including social) has been nudging people towards these kinds of conclusions a lot. I remember seeing people associating black bloc protesters with Hillary Clinton which is a completely preposterous association. That is until y

Legacy products like visual studio and photoshop also suffer from age. Those codebases are both over 20 years old and have a gazillion features that customers start to rely on. Add in that and codebase that old will be slower to make cha

The unfortunate reality is that anyone who is claiming that at this point likely has made up their mind on this. We’ve got huge problems right now with media trust.
