It's a reasonable suggestion about the naming of demands and supplies. We landed on those names because they had some of the correct connotations, and it was easy to be clear with each other what we were talking about. A "Demand&q

I think you are absolutely correct. In this simple example, it's not easier to comprehend. Especially for someone who already understands how composing software out of function calls works. My goal with that example was to point out ho

The author does a lovely job of covering a number of the interesting ideas in this space. But reactive programming is such a tough sell. I know from experience. I maintain a reactive, state management library that overlaps many of the same

I regret taking antibiotics for years in high school as a treatment for acne. We just did what the doctor recommended without giving it much thought. My gut has been a mess ever since and it really impacted my quality of life during the “he

Hi. Thanks for the reply. (Pardon my drawn out response. I can nerd out on this all day.) I'm not aware of sub-state-machines as a standard concept. There are State Charts which are a superset of state machines and have their own notio

State machines are cool but they don't compose well out of the box. Behavior Graph let's you build a composable network of them so they become a practical software architecture. (Disclaimer, I am a coauthor) https://git

This is well said. I always suspect that many people who have a hard time relating to TDD already have experience writing these class & method oriented tests. So they understandably struggle with trying to figure out how to write them b

Total man crush on Elon here. He's like a science fiction author except he makes the spaceships for reals instead of writing about them. Meanwhile a large chunk of the entrepreneurs continue to optimize ad delivery and photo sharing (myself

I'm liking Mozilla more and more these days. I'm seriously considering thinking about trying out this wacky browser of theirs. ;)

Most apps, particularly games are limited to a few dollars, which requires them to basically be hits. Reaching out to tons of people to make a hit, is difficult and expensive. Giving a game away for free seems like an easy way to gain some

Someone who isn't me once ate some funny mushrooms and Van Gogh's paintings appeared to him as though they were made with magic pixie paint that actively ebbed and flowed right before his eyes. That was the day he saw Van Gogh's genius in a

I'd like to be able to browse random people easier. A big "Show me another!" button would be cool. Then I could just sit there and while away the hours reading random thoughts from random people.

I'm happy to go on record here and the unerasable archives of internet history, risking my own reputation and that of my entire line of descendants, in saying that I am convinced this particular dog and pony show is a hoax.

A few years ago I got decent at a similar method so I could memorize a list of 20 items pretty quick. I thought I was the cat's pajamas for awhile until it dawned on me that I had never used it once outside showing off the trick. I've since

I still have that recurring dream that I've entirely forgotten about some college class, panicking, certain to fail and not graduate. Then I wake up to realize, "I'm not in school. Awesome!" In the same vein, rich people are collectively wa

Programming Perl Larry Wall is a mad genius, I don't care if anyone says otherwise. Plus its frequently laugh out loud funny.

Probably along the lines of "...as soon as I open the app it crashes..." Most likely due to the memory manager issues mentioned above. I've seen some quality apps get massive numbers of one star reviews for this type of problem. The star ra

There is no second place in the current political system. That's where I see the problem. The best ideas in the world don't mean squat if you don't get elected. So if I really believed that I could make a difference I would have to beg, b
