   I've been interested in this data structure for the ability to scan forward efficiently to any depth. I am thinking of a binary protocol that can be navigated extremely efficiently and also be inserted into at any depth.

   I enjoyed Namecheap before the redesign. It was a dense GUI and had small icons. I like old style Windows 95 GUIs and "portlets" I prefer dense GUIs. I know Japan has a different design aesthetic than the rest of the world. It&#x2

   Wow. Keep doing it. Well done. I don't know how drivers are implemented but I assume they are async and state machines. Do you have a shell?

   From just thinking about the architecture of Rama I feel it would scale very well. Data parallelism and partitioning and sharding is a very effective scaling technique. Nathan, I would appreciate writings about the mental model of mapping s

   I think our programming languages haven't caught up to an ideal notation of semantics of computer system behaviour at a macro level. The design patterns (Gang of Four etc) and software architectures that are so complicated they require

   Hi I would greatly enjoy talking to you. I play with io_uring and multithreading. I am looking at event loops.

   Thank for you for sharing. What do you think are the next steps for a next generation event loop? I've been experimenting with barriers/phasers, LMAX Disruptors and my own lock free algorithms. I think some form of multithreaded s

    I'm curious what makes it so fast? The README.md says RegExpRouter uses no loops and just regular expressions, presumably it maps a route to a hashmap matched entry? Related but slightly different: I am curious because NFAs, determinis

    It is not an LLM comment. I am interested in immediate mode GUIs but I think we need a different paradigm for GUIs that is less synchronous from a user perspective. Encoding behaviour in GUI code is complex due to state management and compl

    I follow the GUI development space out of curiosity. I have made a few GUIs in Java Swing toolkit and I enjoyed it. When I did GUIs in Android native, I didn't enjoy it at all. I have loosely played with Qt Quick but I didn't know

    Thanks for sharing. Good work. It seems you've done a good amount of work on this, with the multiple backends. From your other comments here it seems your emphasising "understandability by one person", which Oberon as you men

    Thank you for this post, very interesting. Parallelism and async and multithreading is my hobby. I think nodejs and browsers made typeless but coloured async easily digested and understood by everyone. Promises for example. The libuv event

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas Sean, appreciated. I am unfamiliar with the source material and I have recorded the paper you linked to my reading list. From a description of "stream fusion", it reminds me of Clojure

    Thanks for this interesting post. Intuitively, relational algebra compresses enumeration over data in time that a CPU executing billions of cycles a second can feasibly and efficiently traverse and execute against many collections of millio

    This is such a major effort: getting up to speed on existing code bases to the point you can add to them. I feel for the author of this comment, you want to help out and work on stuff you have energy at the beginning, I find it easier to wr

    Unfortunately it's unmaintainable and cannot be transformed without full time DevOps or SREs.

    Large language models could be used to configure abstract syntax trees for desired behaviour, since much of devops and software architecture is slotting configuration together. Kubernetes, linkerd, envoy, istio, cloudformation, terraform, c

    What I find promising about LISP is the ability to do term rewriting and macros. But people write lisps in imperative style rather than definitions of desired behaviour declaratively. I don't think we've sufficiently solved how to

    This is something I think a lot about. I spend a lot of time trying to think of something that composes. Monads are one answer. I think we need advanced term rewriting systems that also optimize and equivalise. I really enjoy Joel on Softwa

    Good idea. Thank you for sharing. One thing I've always wanted was simple filters on log lines in a GUI that let me collapse tags in the log line. I created a proof of concept that showed logs as a tree. Or I can say I want logs from t

    I like this thinking. If someone could combine Supabase + Postgrest or Hasura with an easy visual admin dashboard for them inside this, this could be a complete easy to access, easy to deploy platform.

    Thank you for graphviz. I use graphviz dot syntax, parsing with networkx to plan expensive tool execution and the graph structure lets me automatically paralellize.

    I actually really enjoy text UIs. I would like something similar to Vimperator or Pentadactyl to label keywords with numbers, perhaps in parentheses or square brackets so I can refer to things without typing them in. This is useful for iden

    I really like the design of that website kulor. It would be interesting if you could have a REPL in that style design, and you can reorder the panels of running processes, it reminds me of Yahoo, Lycos, Excite portals in the early web. I th
