I haven't read the original paper (yet), but something doesn't sit right with the work, if the way it is portrayed is indeed faithful to it and I'm not missing something important. - It looks like the work of the data scienti

More than just general purpose languages, the article highlights how creating small languages that integrate well into the host language is a powerful way to layer your system. I've experienced this first hand in making a DSL for sophi

If you take a CGI based implementation and constrained it to use only external managed services, and you use Lambda to serve it up, you won't need to manage servers explicitly. The real serverless apps are pure clients that use 3rd p

The problem with WF is external stake holders. While subtrees can be shared for read-only or edit, that makes me sorely miss change tracking. Basically I don't want to lose a history, period. So mostly I use it in solo mode. But I do

I wholeheartedly recommend WorkFlowy - https://workflowy.com For me, its focus on text and deep hierarchical breakdown, in combination with tagging is potent. You may need to figure out your own way to adapt to your PM style tho

Panini covered both the grammar in the regular sense as well as the phonology of the language. "Optimality theory" attempts to model phonology as a collection of violable constraints operating with a least violation principle. It

Perhaps "math" is overloaded to sometimes refer to the actual doing of mathematics and at other times to the act of communicating mathematical ideas - which is where symbols/logic/rigour begin to feature. As for "in

Why call it a "zero math introduction" to a math topic? Kind of twists my guts a bit to read that. Seems to suggest some of a wannabe or love-hate relationship with math that you don't want to know any math but you find this

I've taken a default stance with these kinds of applications that whatever extra detail we get is being "hallucinated" by the network. With something like microscopy, there could be serious consequences to such hallucinations
