This is inevitably leading to the moment where we don't need humans, but I'm fine with that.

That's not a new idea, I also put the version in my package name, so that you can use v1.x with v2.x etc. It doesn't contradict SemVer. However when you do that, it becomes a big deal to jump from one version to another even if th

> The irony is that Svelte compiles code that will then run on a JIT under a JavaScript engine. That’s strictly overhead. Modern software commonly goes through multiple transformation (compilation stages) and it's increasingly commo

How about many of those OS-level restrictions can be bypassed by hacking into private APIs, which is one of the things that'll get you banned from the App Store? The OS does what it can, but the OS is entirely out in the open to be hac

One of the key functions of the mind is which aspects of input to pay attention to and which not to. So I wonder what sensory overload is. You can get sensory overload if there's environmental overload. But otherwise it's like the

When something doesn't matter, you don't spend time optimizing it. It's the natural behavior of systems.

Pleas don't work. What works is restrictions. This is why when iOS restricts apps from eating up the entire physical RAM on the device, and developers complain that this is not like on the mac/PC, they should realize Apple is extr

I've never been to the US. Before you hurl incorrect accusations at others, check out how international keyboards look. All have QWERTY-like (in some cases AZERTY etc. but still similar) layout as a BASE, and the local characters are o

Every language has undefined or unexpected behaviors. The real lesson is that this doesn't necessarily matter, if they're not essential to the code you write most of the time. Also some of those about floating point math, which is

Microsoft does ask. And it can easily adjust pricing up and then give you a discount for telemetry. But you won’t end up with more money as a result. So what did we achieve?

SemVer remains a pragmatic approach that works in vast amount of cases. It’s unclear what alternative we have here which works in more cases.

None of what you say replaces telemetry, it's an addition to it. And the question remains why we need to willfully ignore the Internet, and do things like in the 80s. What's the purpose of this idiocy?

Trying to gather data about your product performance and use is "normal". The fact it's been always happening is also "normal". The fact you do more of it because of technology doesn't make it less normal. Is i

It has become a meme to be "outraged" about companies collecting any data. People don't analyze if this collection impacts them or not. They react as if the company wants their first-born.

Using ligatures (of sort) in presenting code doesn't mean the code itself is not ASCII. Plus, let's see mainstream languages adopt this, I doubt they will. Languages do stupid things all the time.

Sometimes when you come up with a tidbit that the entire world of experience contradicts, it's healthy to stop and think "wait, am I full of shit?" Of course, you may not be full of shit, but let's say the odds are you a

I don't know why we keep reinventing this distribution model and failing at it, then trying again. Bugfixing and identity matter.

The article's argument in a nutshell: We need to break free from the tyranny of the characters on our keyboard, and express ourselves using characters not on our keyboard. So I hope you see why that argument keeps failing.
