While I don't use GitHub for personal projects, I don't see how moving off GitHub solves anything. If you are open source contributor, then repositories you interact with are public, and there is nothing preventing anybody (includ

As a younger person myself, this talk is incredibly entertaining, kind of eye-opening too; the passion for engineering that speaker radiates is immeasurable.

I suppose because modern websites are actually apps, in an app you click on stuff to see more content If web page does not look like a blog or a newsletter, it is not wrong to assume the app format

For me lenses are like water. I start each haskell project with `optics` dependency, my favorite trick is deriving Generic and using labels to access the fields[1]. Field accessors never get created in the first place, so you have no namesp

Fennel is indeed nice and I rewrote my config in it too, but looked back ~2 years later and rewrote it again in Lua. I think Fennel for configuration is not justified and just adds complexity. Also the tools are not there: two existing lang

I looked at the VerbalExpressionJS[1] example and it looks like combining parsers to me. If you need to make regex more verbose, better use parser combinator library when available. RegEx benefits compared to parser combinators other than c

I use snippets almost exclusively in markdown/latex, where typing math is at least twice as fast with snippets. When doing some quick experiment in C/C++, scaffolding `int main ...` and classes is nice too. In nicer languages I us

I feel much more time and effort was put into arranging words(2290 words per `wc -w`) than collecting data or asking actual addicted users Also I don't agree with people being more tolerant towards individuals who ditched social media.
