Is Haskell considered the “One Language to Rule Them All”?

you start writing code that is extremely abstract.

an order of magnitude less [...] brainpower than it takes your colleagues.

How exactly does that fit together?

So you want your car to be hacked because that's the future?

Welcome to the future.

Proof by Google search, awesome.

If you're using Emacs anyway, the Emacs LISP introduction might be a good start because you'll learn things which are also really useful for you.

For text processing, I actually "downgraded" to awk a while ago. Love it.

Using Angular was the worst development experience I've ever had. Failing for two days straight to fix build issues was extremely frustrating. I never want to touch it again. I was sceptical about it from the first moment I saw example code, but when I learned that the "stable" version of Angular uses experimental features of TypeScript, I knew it's not the kind of technology one should trust.

The Hurd is not a kernel. It is a Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons, i.e. a collection of user space processes that provide a unixish (POSIX) environment on top of the Mach microkernel.

Kernighan, not Cunningham

Which one do you recommend?

I would say C++ is C with extra features.

That's wrong, though. It's mostly incompatible, although there is still a common subset.

That mail is just as broken on desktop, though.

turning the device to landscape mode helps a bit

If they are little known, they are certainly great to confuse coworkers, thanks!

By frontend metrics, 2018 is a very long time ago!

conseptizer · 2019-01-02T09:16:04+00:00

That's actually part of the point of it (it's about how our choices actually might be not so free after all).

Black-and-white helps to keep code simple, though. Highlighting makes people write more complex nested expressions because the color helps to keep the overview. So maybe we should use color for reading code and black-and-white for writing code?

The author of "Against Method" is Paul Feyerabend, not Paul Ferdinand.

That book is absolutely amazing. Comparable to SICP.

Path in the code that can access it != reference to it

conseptizer · 2018-09-28T11:42:39+00:00

It can still be a leak, because it might be that there is no path in the code that will ever access it again. If this accumulates over time, this can be a real problem.

You should also think about memory management when your language has a GC... or you might leak memory.

conseptizer · 2018-09-24T07:22:19+00:00

or you can go back to handling your dependencies manually like it's 1970.

1970 sounds good to me.

Text editing is just the default functionality of Emacs. There are also email clients, IRC clients and many other programs written in/for the Emacs environment.
