If someone is curious about this data, I made a little analysis a while ago - Nobel Prize in numbers: https://blog.royalsloth.eu/posts/nobel-prize-in-numbers/#sec...

Deep APIs were mentioned in "A Philosophy of Software Design" (John Ousterhout)

Good job, this looks really well done. One thing I am wondering, however, is how easy it would be to integrate a pre-generated inverted index file into this fuzzy searcher? Context…

I don't get it why the Microsoft Word team didn't create a good looking default template that people could just use without any fiddling necessary. They had more than 20 years at t…

I am glad you liked it.

Thanks, I thought it was a bug in some app and just wanted to be sure, so I don't have to babysit the server. If anybody knows which app is that, please tell the maintainer that th…

Well, that's a surprise for sure. I wrote this article a few months ago and it gained no traction. Today I woke up and boom, front page.

To be entirely honest, most of his books are pretty awful, as they are mostly preaching something for the sake of preaching and selling the books. I bought his last one (Clean Arch…

You can't see email on HN. Check the website posted above and find my email there.

Sure thing.

It didn't sell in such numbers that I could compare different markets and draw any conclusions. Maybe next time.

The majority of the bugs I've been resolving take from 30min to a few hours (if I know the codebase) - but they are usually complex distributed systems issues. What kind of bugs ar…

Better keyboard support comes in next version. Do you mind telling me why do you switch between tasks every 6 minutes?

No the word you are looking for is: synchronization. Cross platform means works on multiple platforms (in this case Windows, Mac, Linux).
