I cannot praise the UI design on gov.uk more. It is a beacon of light in this dark age of web UI usability and I am not at all surprised that they have a coherent design system.

I guess that's why it is provided by an individual, instead of as an officially supported solution.

All the articles on Chinese people already have this. For example, this one on the writer Lu Xun: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lu_Xun . This convention is widely practiced in Western journalism, but unfortunately it ha

IANAL, but I think of the relicensing effort as conceptually equivalent to starting from scratch and asking everyone to re-contribute their code towards the new codebase, because these contributors never relinquished their copyright in the

The privacy game is about power, not about who is doing what right now. People shun Google's data collection because of what Google can do with the data, not what it has done or is doing; it only takes a single case of data misus

This really puzzles me too. If I understand correctly, basically what CentOS does is taking the source code of RHEL, debranding it, and rebuilding it? Now that CentOS is officially affiliated with RH, why isn't RH just starting with wi

Scheme and CL have immutable data structures, but not persistent data structures.

On top of persistent data structures, I find the main innovation of Clojure is the way it mixes functional programming with dynamic typing into its unique paradigm: a) Data is just data, divorced from behaviors, and functions (not methods)

If you are into artificial languages, also check out lfn ( https://elefen.org ). Like Esperanto, it also features regular spelling and simple syntax, but one key difference is that its vocabulary is almost entirely Romance; it is

I don't think you really mean golang.org/x/tools/go/loader or golang.org/x/tools/go/packages are literally undocumented; simply pasting the URL gives you pretty detailed godoc for both packages.
