I like reading scientific papers and most examples sections provide rich and intricate outlines of real-life use-cases where the idea can be experimented against. These examples usually involve quite complicated scenarios that "put the

Wow so nobody gives props to Facebook for making their channels available for this.

Author here: sorry if the "append-only" analogy went a bit upstream in the comments, it was certainly meant to be taken with a pinch of salt. All of regular programming methodologies apply with b-threads. And most of the time chan

Exactly my thoughts. Also cruise ships are ludicrously bad for environment.

I feel like Linked Data Fragments provides a solution to this: http://linkeddatafragments.org/ You're effectively crawling portions of the web based on your query, at runtime! It's a pretty neat technique. But you

Is your company actually building a platform for developers to build apps? Because that's what Apple is doing and they shifted away from using paradigms like CSS.

To me an evident thing in UI development is that separating stylesheet from layout isn't really a thing anymore and the benefits of this separation aren't really that clear. Things like SwiftUI and React are showing that declarati

I think life (event from chemistry to biochemistry) is rare because we can think of each planet as a specific combination of chemistry composition. All these combinations, even if they exist in the order of billions, is still a limited amou

Not sure who this document is aimed to. It's not technical enough to appeal to programmers that are working closely with Pilosa. And it's not written in a way to make it easy to understand for people that don't know anything

Sorry to bring my ethical and philosophical view on the subject but I don't agree with forcing a capitalist system to something that is essentially volunteer work. Open source has worked fine being just volunteer for the past several d

Indeed this is the whole reason I like fixups. Reviewers can actually keep up with the requested changes and know exactly which fixup-commit is related to which change.

Weird they don't talk of the `git commit --fixup=` command. And then `--autosquash` when rebasing.

Interesting I see. I thought BP was built on top of Live Sequence Charts - a visual formalism for describing specs that can also be executed. Thanks for the info. I'll have to dive a bit more into TLA+. Even though I still don't s

I can't believe finally someone mentions behavioral programming here on HN. I'm a huge proponent of it and have written some in the context of React https://lmatteis.github.io/react-behavioral/ How does it co

To be honest I haven’t understood much of this. Am I also the only one who’s very skeptical of AI? I see no correlation between what we call “biological thinking” and computation. Even though I don’t know much of the theory behind AI, to me

But why though? Of course giving a well-payed salary to people is something great and I have nothing against it. But the whole "cool" thing about open-source is that it showed that it can do pretty amazing things without capitalis

@rdelval cool, but that's totally different form Apache (the foundation) paying you. I think that's a really nice thing to do and have nothing against it. My main point was simply that the history of open-source, as you can tell b

@antt, no they don't pay the employess. In fact they don't have employees: "With no employees and 2663 volunteers, it spent $270,846 on infrastructure, $92,364 on public relations, and $17,891 on two ApacheCons." - from

Apache Software Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation -- (basically a charity). It does not "make money" per se, it just has to cover its costs. Not sure about the rest but I believe most have the same model. Sure ther

Ah damn I'm sorry. Can you tell me where this data is in the book? I quickly brushed through the 217 page book and there seems to be no data regarding my comment where I think open-source doesn't need economical incentives in orde

My opinion is that open-source contributions stems from passion. People do it and implement something because they're passionate about it. When you attach any money to it, it becomes tainted with responsibility and emotions. Such as, &

The main difference is that now we actually have a proper grid layout system which enables editors to do their job properly. Things like webflow allow one to design responsive components without having to code anymore.
