   Thank you very much for the explanation. I think I get the point but remain skeptical. Is knowledge (even a totally man-made subdomain like OS/App) fundamentally scattered in nature, or can be modelled in the scale of 0.1% of the origi

   I can't believe this group of incredibly smart people have produced this not-so-impressive paper. Sure, the size of source codes is a big problem. but is LOC the most cost-effective issue to investigate into? Why none of the existing m

   absolutely agree. VS Code is more performant but without a proper VIM plugin is a deal breaker.

   should we write {0x68, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f} instead of "hello"? joke aside, I think JSX does a great job to reduce the cognitive load, bridging codes as representation and its result.

   I was astonished by how un-safe the road/traffic system really is 8 years ago when I started to learn driving. Just think about it, driving on road is extremely vulnerable: any other driver on the road could make a small mistake to get

    My point is less about bribe or lobbying. It's about the mentality. For native Chinese company, the stake is so high that when facing overwhelmingly foreign opportunists they are willing to do anything to survive, faster reaction to us

    US company views China a good to have, but not live or death market. Native Chinese company does not. it's the vital difference that matters. Take Google for example. will it break the copyright law to provide MP3 download for its own

    I try Emacs around once per year. The problem is it's so slow under OSX. It's much faster on my 2007 iMac running Linux than 2013 mbp. I even tried to run it under X-Quartz but still performed poorly. What can I do?

    One part of me truly hope Google to success in ML/AI, although I consider Google an evil company. AI, Singularity, they are the most important things in this century. The implication is simply beyond our imagination. I don't care

    A close friend still uses Fox Pro to do data analysis sort of work in a trading company. Every time I see him working masterfully, I feel I should learn it someday.

    Good point! however, in the case of Swift, it's just so closely related to UIKit and/or Cocoa.

    Thank you for a serious reply. What troubles me more is not IoT, but the storytelling. It has been years people from this segment come out boring, meaningless videos, talks, articles usually feature microwave, doors, windows. Steve Jobs sol

    I think the AR UI in the video is pretty cool. The trouble is, AR itself hasn't taken off. My theory is people really dislike reality. Reality is ugly, it's dirty, and when people operate upon information, they(we) do want abstrac

    The big deal of the internet is it connects people. Before AI takes over the planet, or invasion of alien, the most powerful thing is the communication amongst human beings, its implication we have not fully explored.

    I'm not sold. The whole IoT thing fails miserably in story-telling. Until now, I have yet to read/hear/watch one compelling example. Who really cares if my chair is connected with the light so that I can get the best light sh

    This article is flawed while the original paper might not, if it does exist. In this article, the author didn't mention the core methodology of how he managed to find out the reason behind each violence, by interview, court record, or
