it seems like less sophisticated version of reactive paradigm to me, am I wrong?

Most of the UI/UX designers that I see at work and other places are basically graphics designers. I just wish UI designers learn more about interaction design than just pure graphi…

I think this article is more about alternative rasterization algorithm for 2D geometry. 'vector graphics' is misleading as vertices used in graphics APIs are vectors.

> creation of a Beizer curve: ... clearly a CPU algorithm. isn't this just a tessellation basically? GPU-based tessellation is very common, mostly for meshes but can be used for li…

can you elaborate on what "protocol" looks like? or can you give us some example?

I like this. It is very hard to find out if the definition already exists or not in the codebase. This can lead to multiple definitions of the same thing or the truth. anyone has a…

good article. my questions now is how can we avoid over-plannings and under-plannings? a lot of time I feel like the diminishing return of a planning is pretty steep for many situa…

I am amazed at how small the codebase is, and also pretty readable. great to see work like this, thank you!

good to know, thanks! I personally would like to know when the GPU resources become available (freed) thus still inclined to prefer RC over GC tho.

this is a really good benefit of RC codebase. Resource management becomes much more harmonious and easy to follow.

like Chris said in the article, it is difficult for GC languages to interop with C/C++ codebase. in addition, if your system requires precise control over when and when not to use …

my understanding is that the author is talking about stack usage at runtime not the size of an entire stack which can be set by the pthread API you mentioned. it's confusing becaus…

what is your view on Clojure.spec?

Throwing away is easy but remember, you have to do the runtime check instead of compile time check, and that is not so easy in a lot of cases

sort of. I don't write tests at early stages, do you? I don't see types as serious tests and I don't think they are robust. let's say that some integer must be between 10 and 100, …

good point. Yes, during prototype phase, rigid typing actually helps quite a bit. I still do that myself, simply because I don't have to "run" the program to see if I'm on the righ…

yeah, but my point is that checking system that you had created will be thrown away at some point in my experience. so why bother writing types? that is my attitude at least at ver…

back in the days, I had this infatuations with the idea of having everything checked at compile time by using type system. and I see many people following this kind of path with ty…

why not struct Foo{ bool some_flag : 1; bool other_flag : 1; .... } ?

I feel like you are talking about types in programming languages but Object–relational impedance mismatch is still a thing and I'm not sure if you want a solution (for the mismatch…

> I wonder what kind of application I need to try application that deals with highly dynamic data. lots of variants (OR type) in tree/graph. (photoshop's layers come to mind.)

I think what you are saying makes sense for a lot of projects. but point I was trying to make is that there are projects that have to deal with highly dynamic and complex data stru…

do you think having a DATE type will increase performance for example as opposed to use INT/LONG type? if stronger type systems will ensure performance, Haskell will beat C in benc…

but do you want, for example, a file system where you have to define what kind of files you can store? This folder can only contain JPEG and PNG files, this folder can contain only…
