My favorite is the Chad Wittgenstein usage. — Where you add an em-dash after periods to slow down the reader. —— Sometimes a double em-dash to keep your reader on their toes.

This doesn’t really make sense. Apps were pretty popular immediately after decades of web usage. There are many reasons to prefer an app. Even on desktop; if I’m using a service en…

We were once 1337 hackers too

The Economist is a British journal, so why would you use US definition of right wing to evaluate their centrality?

She’s been in her position for less than 6 months. All of the problems were under Phil, so I don’t understand what you mean by course correcting her own actions

I can’t think of a worse announcement for your road to 1.0. Who cares? Without localization or accessibility support, it doesn’t make sense to call your UI framework production rea…

Is it really different from that short time ago? It feels like this has been the normal for much longer than 5 years. I do remember there being fewer restarts to update, but I feel…

Does it? I’ve seen Ezra Klein talk about his book and he talked about how bureaucracy is frequently a scapegoat for getting things done. Europe is very bureaucratic yet is able to …

Where do you see the word ‘Evil?’ I don’t see the word in the title or anywhere in the article itself.

This is what I understood as well, but it sounded like GP had success doing it; so I was curious if there was a trick I didn’t know about

Maybe there’s a git trick I don’t know, but I’ve found making small branches off each other painful. I run into trouble when I update an earlier branch and all the dependent branch…

As someone who used phabricator and mercurial, using GitHub and git again feels like going back to the stone ages. Hopefully this and jujutsu can recreate stacked-diff flow of phab…

Right but recursion is only a smaller part of why the optimization is important. It means tail-called functions still build on the stack and long function chains—as is common with …

You don’t think companies look at your past titles when you apply for a job?

I am also surprised, but not because I believe Meta to care about the ethics of the whole thing. After all their privacy scandals, I’d assume they’d have policies in place to preve…

The subject of the function coloring article was callback APIs in Node, so an argument you need to pass to your IO functions is very much in the spirit of colored functions and has…

I think this article does an alright job selling ro over RxGo, but doesn’t really explain why using a reactive library is better than plain go. The channel/goroutine example is fin…

I joined the sapling/subversion company this year, but haven’t had the chance to use jj. But given its resemblance I must say sapling has been great. Much more intuitive than git, …

What he calls import highlighting is something I only find reliably setup in Xcode, but is probably one of the most useful things to highlight for me. To be able to tell at a glanc…

That’s what children listened to 15 years ago. I doubt that’s what they listen to now

I don’t think this implements anything monad shaped
