The type hole feature is pretty cool! I learned how to solve some of my type-related puzzlement by redefining stuff as "undefined" and using HDevTools to see what type gets inferred. Also I can't wait to see what wild stuff p

What an interesting happenstance... I just ported all my stuff to Neovim earlier this week and everything works out of the box. I just had to cp everything vim to nvim (.vim -> .nvim, .vimrc -> .nvimrc, etc). Unfortunately there are n

I think the hype around high-end keyboard is really justified. Most typing implements these days are among those despicable types: 1) touchscreen virtual keyboards 2) race-to-the-bottom cheap mass-produced rubber dome cap 3) gaming keyboard

This is awesome. I can't wait for the API docs and sources to be released. Tweets and videos are lousy at conveying information : )

Sorry, dumb question, don't feel like watching the video: What platforms are targetted? Out of, say, iOS, Android, Linux/X11 desktop, Windows desktop, WinRT, OSX?

Well, 1) if I understood correctly, the design of Angular has some inherent, and rather large, performance hits. 2) Google isn't dogfooding Angular save for one project. Facebook seem pretty serious about doing all new developement in

Let us have a thought for the the profession of longshoreman, eliminated by the commercial viability of the shipping container in the 60's and subsequent total automation of port operations.

Mh, it's unclear in the article, but perhaps the US nuclear energy companies will finally be able to install the new and safer designs they haven't been able to build because of the high-profile fuckups of the old, unsafe designs?

Oh yeah I almost forgot: lots of people are making websites in Python. I guess it's useful if one wants to have a comfortably mainstream webdev experience while taking advantage of the incredibly rich Python ecosystem.

Um, one could argue that Rails has lost quite a bit of hype recently, mostly to the hands of Node.js, but Node isn't as mature as Rails was at that time, nor trying to solve the same problem. PHP is still hugely popular, and much bette

Mhyes, it appears that I misunderstood the precise mechanism of this lib. I don't know how to feel about the use of template Haskell in this lib (beyond the fact that it seems like it works great and avoids the curse of the weird error

My god so many incredible links of crazy blogs here... I took a certain pleasure in the opposite recently, by writing on a few simple .html files on an Apache server with headers in <h\d> and content in either <p> or <ul>

Well yeah, but one thing that bugs me is that many structures, many businesses even, seem to have little purposes beyond making jobs pop into existence, by having bizarrely huge amounts of redundancy, red tape, or by having goals that seem

I think that what we need so desperately bad is a complete database of what goods and services are needed and demanded in our society as a whole, and what is the cost, in a standardized and comprehensive form, of those goods and services, a

Another important point is that the relation between children, their parents and the society they live in would be changed in ways that are hard to predict. See, the current assumption (or rather, the assumption that socially still stands b

There's some kind of underlying, overwhelming point in there... That tail call elimination, agressive inlining, escape analysis, continuation passing style, are saying a lot about the boundary between blocks in Algol-style languages, o

I'm not crazy! Some text patterns (like, say, grep going through minified JS) make my monitor emit a weird noise I was having all the trouble in the world believing. Now I know this tone actually exists

I was so happy when I finally grokked LR parsers: it's just a big state machine! _if_ that token found, push on stack, go to _that_ other state. Consume token, check the next state transition. But while fun it was pretty much useless b
