The Rust Community will be sad to see you go. Can you discuss what you are going to do at Apple ? For the community, please advocate for a safe way to load and reload open source code onto a person's own Apple computer without letting

That is an interesting image. "surfacing the costs". It evokes the idea that most technical debt is below the surface (hidden by the UI ?) and so is rarely noticed by anyone other than the programmers. The trick is, how do you le

I appreciate that use of KaTeX allows for faster Math rendering. Since developing intuition about problems can be increased by seeing multiple examples, can you leverage this speed to generate a specific example from a template and some sam

Calling your language the "M programming Language", unfortunately, is ambiguous. One of the oldest langauges to claim the name, is the MUMPS programming language used in healthcare computing and in financial computing is also cal

I expect the XML version of Lisp can be processed to create the just-parentheses version of Lisp. Does anyone know how hard it would be to convert the just-parentheses version of Lisp into the XML-version of Lisp?

I don't know a lot about this use of AI, but I do know that the modeling phase is similar to some other work I've been a part of. I do know that the statement that this is a lot of data to collect is certainly true. Some of the

Fe is a tiny language with only a few forms ie: if, while, do, define a variable, define a function, define a macro etc.. It uses an embedded parenthesis syntax similar to Lisp or Scheme, with prefix functions. I couldn't see (other

This is a rich story that sounds like it would make a great movie. "Should we go or should we stay ?" is a decision of choice. The Trail of Tears was as horrid as it was because it took the decision out of the hands of the people
