Saying "complexity bad" without giving a definition of complexity is not very meaningful. In reality it means "I'll use my personal judgement and anything I don't like will be marked as complexity". Rich Hickey

Looks like Flawless goal is to persist the intermediate state of some workflow and restart it from midpoint in case of a failure. That's quite different from Erlang, which was mostly aimed at developing software while having access onl

Also, an anxious person won’t use this app if there is any chance of his data leaking outside. For example, I couldn’t start my personal calendar until I found a way to have it 100% locally via Obsidian plugin.

Also, some interpretations of Quantum Mechanics, like Dioshi-Penrose objective collapse interpretation, imply a physical limit on the number of qubits. However, whether you should worry about post-quantum crypto or not is a risk assessment

If you have time budget for several programming languages, then Ruby is a good one to learn OOP. For getting a job - probably no, but depends on your local job market.

I use Full Calendar Obsidian plugin that populates calendar from daily notes. But it doesn’t have an auto-sync option, so I add calendar entries manually at the start of the day.

Looks very promising. I’ve been trying to implement a similar workflow with Obsidian using daily notes, Full Calendar plugin and keeping notes/links collection for every tasks. But I realized that having a more focused UI (instead of s

WTF is the picture in the linked press release? They've multiplied Kepler curve by an arbitrary coefficient of ~2 to make it match the measurements from the paper in 16-25 kpc range, while it clearly won't match in < 16 kpc ran

Have you ever been to Serbia? I’ve been living there for the past year and to me it looks like a great place in terms of value for the money.

The best way is probably using ChatGPT as a replacement for StackOverflow and documentation search, asking questions like "how do I do X using Y".

I've heard the following explanation: Go was designed for internal use at Google, and one of the primary goals was to reduce compilation time for huge codebases (the size of Google monorepo). For such amount of code even `javac` was to

Looks like Floorp in relation to Firefox is the same as Vivaldi in relation to Chrome: a fork aimed at power users with a native support for vertical tabs. Will keep an eye on it. Meanwhile, I spend several minutes trying to create a new wo

If several independent observation gave a similar estimation for the mass of “phlogiston” or density of “ether” that would be a very significant phenomena worth studying.

“Dark matter” is a number of observed phenomena that independently hint at presence of matter not visible by other means, and when estimate can be inferred from observations give roughly the same estimate for the mass of that matter. Ther

From what I see, it vaguely claims to create so-called ‘edit maps’ at compile time, similar to Svelte and million.js. It doesn’t say anything about the algorithm it uses to generate them and what limitations their algorithm puts on applicat

IMO there is inherent complexity in the task of creating dynamic user interfaces and reactivity/signals/directives are different tools to deal with this complexity by imposing different mental model on top. In any case, if Imba of

How will it work if I put 2 counter components on one page? If it’s just using global variable for state then it will be shared between component. You can do the same thing in React, it’s just a bad idea. If it does some magic under the hoo

It seems that main focus of Imba is code compression. I wonder, at which point they decided that they need a new language for that. I’ve seen things similar to ‘d:hflex ja:center’ many times, and it was achieved by writing a component that

What do you mean by ‘no state management’ and why is it a good thing?

This project is doing code -> text, right? But then, the first line of description in Github says: > Catala is a domain-specific language for deriving faithful-by-construction algorithms from legislative texts. This reads like 't

I'm not sure why the comment above received downvotes (I don't have enough karma to downvote). I agree that perhaps the term "reducing function" isn't entirely accurate. However, it's worth noting that transduc

Initial problem was duplication of sequence library for CSP channels (core.async in Clojure). When the idea of ‘transducers’ (transformers of reducing function) was discovered, it turned out to have many additional useful properties and was

I'm curious now, what disadvantages of React could outweight the entanglement of reactive state management and undocumented lifecycle. I could understand that you could have the same issues with state management if you were using MobX

There is a trade-off between mobility and ergonomics. For some people mobility is more important for various reasons.

For Context support, I think the reason it's not supported is because Server and Client components have different lifetime. In theory they could add something like Server Context, that's accessible only to Server components. For C
