Not saying I align 100% with this, but certainly gives a perspective on Unix and C: https://www.jwz.org/doc/worse-is-better.html

Having read the book Dealers of Lightning about Xerox PARC and Kay,I think Smalltalk 72 was the original smaller simple language, with which children were taught. Then others at Xe…

Technical skills, shared values, collective memory. If you were wondering.

I recall reading it, and strangely I felt that making of the game is just a side-happening, while the author was on pursuit to get into movie industry rather. Am interesting contra…

I think https://www.dreamsongs.com/WIB.html "2.1 The Rise of Worse is Better" is as good a comparison as one can get. (I'm neutral but I like the historic context)

Glean, at least tangentially?

We watched it recently after decades of hearing how great a film it was.. it was a superficial letdown instead.

Decryping is ephemeral though. No request body gets stored, except in RAM. Malicious operators etc, well that's always a possibility, but they supposedly have controls for that. An…

How does it compare to PlantUML with the C4 plugin is the first question coming to mind.

A turn-key solution to avoid confusing turkey and Türkiye.

Not sure I used Piviti, but used Shortcut, Openshot and Kdenlive. Kdenlive wins hands-down in stability and least amount of UI glitches. (I recall that these interestingly share th…

Tic80.com - might overgrow it quickly, but excellent for start. Has Lua, Fennel.

> If you want to press C-c, use the right Control key with your right hand First thought: but C is on the right. Second thought: ah, I use Dvorak

I was pondering about using simple decentralized databases that are kept synchronized asynchronously. I arrived to a design where SQLite databases would be synchronized by Kafka. K…

I worked at Google and have no idea what they mean by stacked change. You could push multiple changes to a single CL, but those were rarely reviewed independently. Maybe they mean …

Great to see this space moving! Any pointers on diff vs Kythe? Kythe has a mostly fixed schema, for one. One of the pain points using Kythe is wiring up the indexer to the build sy…

IANAL but EU reverse engineering exception is granted for purposes of interoperability as I remember? Think API, protocol, file format. You can't reverse engineer and share random …

I would add great pacing, with long, slow shots. I counted random modern film scene switches, it is average 2 seconds per switch. Other is adding atmospheric elements that serve no…

> Pull requests don't prevent bugs Doesn't match my experience. There's two levels to this: A good review can catch bugs directly. But even more important, it can dispute an obscur…

Express this dismay to them, in a honest open conversation. Discover what holds them back. Be open, don't scold, maybe they reveal a problem in your attitude as well.

Jerry Weinberg asserted that you need 5x the hourly rate as a consultant, due to overhead, to get even. I really recommend Secrets of Consulting. I was vary since it sounds a BS ti…

Clicking the first image link about the exhibition triggers some Android spam pop-up fyi.

I highly recommend "Managing Yourself and Others" from Gerald Weinberg - https://leanpub.com/managingyourselfandothers Or anything from him, really.

Ideally yes, but most of the time I find I have no idea about what I want to do. Idea leads to code, code reveals constraints, those lead to other ideas. If we could specify things…
