I agree with some of the criticisms even though I'm not 100% familiar with all variation of the statechart semantics. I use xstate and it works pretty well for all my use cases. One important thing to note is that statecharts is just a

We already have lots of languages for describing event-driven applications such as Message Sequence Charts, Statecharts as well as a myriad of other types of specifications languages part of UML but also simple DSL syntax. Why reinvent the

Can you comment on why you think d3 is harder to use than a paradigm like react? Isn’t UI also a function of data in d3? When you make changes to the data the tree (DOM) is also updated. That’s why the differences are blurry to me. I would

Thanks Mike for giving us d3! I was always curious about your thoughts about how d3's paradigm is similar to React/Svelte/SwiftUI/<any other UI lib>. I feel that d3's approach is similar in the sense that you

Surprised Facebook Origami isn’t mentioned to bridge the gap between devs and designers.

Is there any data on this? Seems to make sense but I don’t think the greatest intellectuals of the past centuries say Newton, Mozart, Einstein, were avidly interested in traveling. And even if they were, they could only reach a very small f

Evidence that doing something great doesn’t need to be through startup-capital-based systems. One can build and study something that can be of great importance to humanity without its core values being tainted by money.

A really big influence to me has been the work by prof Harel on Behavioral Programming (aka scenario based programming) which makes coding similar to how requirements change, evolve and sculpt the software. His take is much more pragmatic t

I think also lots of people that are underpaid are scared to disclose. Fearing a "you only make this much?" reaction.

Meh, look at Slack. It's a matter of priority. For me extensibility, important features and quick bug-fixing is more important than performance. If working on performance gets in the way of any those things, do it later.

This is confusing to be honest. They talk about how keeping state in a component cannot allow you to do specific things. And the only way to achieve some things is to hoist the state (which leaks the state). This is fine by me but I totally

For a while the site returned 502 Bad Gateway. I literally thought that was the whole point and upvoted for appreciative sarcasm... until the link started actually working.

I'm pretty familiar with FOAF, LinkedData, RDF and all of the rest of the Semantic Web standards. But saying that all of these can replace a system like facebook is a bit unintelligent. Facebook brings much more to the table that users

Please let’s not reinvent concepts or words. We are not the chosen ones nor do we live in a field that is different from any other. Many other fields require the same mental capacities we employ: from doctors to school teachers all the way

This article is from 1987 and feels way ahead of its time. One of the (sad) conclusions was: > (4) The future lies in visual languages and methodologies that, with appropriate structuring elements, can exploit all the obvious advantages

I totally agree with this article but I still think it didn't add much to my "knowledge base". In other words, it was quite obvious: who actually thinks domain knowledge and long term vision aren't important? For me thes

Very interesting insight! Indeed the authors are working (as of 2019) on making the sync points resolve based on constraint solvers: - https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.00408 - https://www.researchgate.net/pub

Indeed! And that's exactly why I think programming feels so unnatural. Sure it is natural for us as we have years of experience modifying the structure of programs - where the structure is dictated by the nature of how computers mechan

How do you know when adding a new requirement that the forbidding of something won't cause a cascading of other requirements to conflict with each other? In essence we are used to restricting our understanding of a piece of software th

You're comparing writing a document with how we evolved which in my opinion is a false analogy. Our brains interact with complex systems in a much more intricate way than what is "writing a structured document". And in fact t
