    In another words friction slows movement down and does not treat some direction on surface more preferable than others. Assuming regular surface this is pretty much definition of f…

    For some reason I cannot reply to your comment wizzwizz4. We are talking about dynamic friction in it's simplest form. You can treat it as simple math problem too. Let's consider t…

    Sometimes I am wondering what if there is theory which have been on right track but it's (false?) falsified and already forgotten. Sure theory could be incomplete or incorrect on s…

    At the time I was lost joy of coding too but I was able to found it again. One key point was to ignore learning new tech if it was not absolutely necessary and focus just creating …

    Excel does not support any delimeter natively since its region dependent. I ended up saving my mental heath by supporting two different formats: "RFC csv" and "Excel csv". On excel…

    One can start from typical UIs and start tinkering from there why it isn't good enough for programming. Good first step is to notice that we dont have even static data objects. Sti…

    I think quite interesting starting point is general purpose visual medium which is good enough to be used for programming, too. Aka: more visual/structured medium to some use cases…

    TLDR: Monorepos have no issues in "real world". (= My bubble, I am quite sure I haven't ever even met person face to face who have been in project of even 100 devs.)

    Yea I don’t care neither but business seems to care. If you listen closely their specs are pretty much bloated with DUs.

    You propably would want to reuse referenced definitions like domain and IP which are not email specific. But yes all of our JS could be much shorter if we used APL but most of us l…

    Thats propably because you are looking inlined assembly of definition. If you name and reuse all the partial patterns it become much more clear. Though regex is cool obfuscation me…

    I claim that it's possible to design cargo ships and planes to be driven by anyone with short training compareable to driving license. It all comes down how much you want to invest…

    Why so? In web world we represent most of our non-UI structural data in JSON. HTML is also structural data but what makes it so special that serialization format is needed? Or why …

    Indeed semantics is what matter but I think for example lack of composability is semantic problem too. Ability to manage persistency and correctness of SQL engines is very usefull …

    First: Yes null VS option type is all about static knowledge so it's pretty irrelevant topic in context of dynamic language. In my mind in such languages null propagation operator …

    Don't have experience about stack oriented languages nor sure is this relevant reply. But to clarify: local mutable variables are fine because effect of changing value is clear due…

    I don't either consider living without local mutable variables and loops as a clear improvement. But I do think that designing your application such way that it won't rely (or rely…

    Unlike Elm, F# is 'functional first' but supports OO and impurity (with good and bad). Biggest clear plus is maybe full stack development support. Checkout SAFE stack (Saturn + Azu…

    This case makes me wonder what if traditional filesystems would not separate files and directories. So that there would be just files which may have data and sub files. Then html f…
