Thank you, this really validates the Hedy approach. Everyone's talking about the multilingual aspect while ignoring the many other thoughtful design choices that have gone into the project.

Thank you for reminding me of Frink. Alan Eliasen's work is a delightful rabbit hole, and I'm so glad he's still maintaining and improving[1] Frink. [1] https://frinklang.org/experimental.html#FrinkTNG

Absolutely agreed. For me, this goes far beyond incorrect use of language: it's directly dehumanising because the term "resource" primarily describes inanimate objects. Resources are meant to be used , but people should be e

This is amazing, but there are even wilder ways to run arbitrary code inside a PDF. How about stringing together several thousand segment commands in JBIG2 (one of the image codecs supported in PDF) to create a programmable virtual machine?

I hope that plenty of developers read this, especially folks on open source projects who don't have dedicated documentation people. There's so much bad documentation out there, and many of these tips are key. A couple more of my o

Most of the blame should go to Netscape management. They didn't give Eich much time, then burst in before he was done and made him copy a bunch of things from Java. (The new language, codenamed "Mocha" internally, was first p

Looks like 18.2 (beta) already has far more major changes. A couple that stood out to me were new CSS support for View Transitions and many other declarations, and WebAssembly (WASM) support for garbage collection and tail calls. https:&#x

Since others have mentioned them already: yes, this is what feature flag systems are for. They're not just for rollouts and experiments, though they're good at that too. Where they're especially good is with targeting rules

You're underestimating how valuable Hamas has been to the Israeli right. Smotrich called them an asset in 2015 for a reason, and Netanyahu said similar in 2012. With Hamas in charge, Israel could avoid making new peace agreements or co

My solution, if I was in charge of Israel, would simply be to NOT order the army to destroy most of Gaza and kill tens of thousands of people, and to instead just focus on preventing incursions into Israel. I would also focus on stopping Ha

Your final ten words of the comment are a perfectly concise explanation of the problem; thank you! And it drives home something I often forget about why code units should do Only One Thing.

Yup, and it's available on both Steam and GOG, usually pretty cheap. It's not running the original code underneath - some amazingly dedicated soul spent over a year porting its custom engine into ScummVM, and that's what the

Desperately hoping they include the Fox & Hounds multiplayer mode, which is some of the best fun I've ever had with a LAN game. My colleagues at The Digital Village (we made Starship Titanic) spend so much time on that one mode, we

Not always. The most common counter example is beta features which customers opt into, controlled by the product team. It's too early for that to be part of the license, especially because pricing often hasn't been decided yet. Bu

Totally with you on Google's lack of SVG support. SVG works fine in PowerPoint, and Keynote even lets you break SVGs apart[1]. It's embarrassing that Google were beaten by both MS and Apple on basic web standards support.

You prompted me to try out the little-known web version of Keynote on iCloud.com. I expected it to be surprisingly good if not quite up to the desktop standard, since Apple's front end web teams do amazing work. And sure enough, that&#
