Shameless plug: a code walkthru modeling the rules of chess, ment as an exercise/teaching functional programming (in Clojure): https://neuroning.com/boardgames-exercise/notebooks/w…

Thanks. Tried, but doesn't look good :-(

I really like Monaspace Argon, but even the narrower option looks too wide on my terminal (kitty on macos)

yes! don't remember my number, Zone 4 for sure (Argentina). Exchanging messages with people on the other side of the world felt like magic at the time (even though it took many hou…

I've had tinnitus for about 12 years now. High-freqquencies hearing loss. I've been using hearing aids for about 4 years... They DO help me with both hearing (of course) and tinnit…

How so? Not sure what you mean. If object A calls a method of object B (composition), then B cannot call back on B, and neither A nor B can override any behavior of the other (And …

> I'd argue some amount of "co-recursion" is to be expected: after all the point of the child class is to reuse logic of the parent That's the point: You can reuse code without pay…

You are always dealing with state and control-flow in software design. The challenge is to minimize state at much as possible, make it immutable as much as possible and simplify yo…

I've seen it a lot on Django projects. Maybe I was just unlucky on the Python projects I've joined.

Good point. In Java and many other languages you can opt out instead... which might make a big difference. Is it more of a "cultural" thing?... again, many frameworks encourage it …

An important point not mentioned by the article is that of "co-recursion" with inheritance (of implementation). That is: an instance of a subclass calls a method defined on a paren…

No... the best way is to use the same color for all occurrences of the same identifier. So, on the last example, all instances of say "audio" should be of the same color, and those…

Nice. Great work. Bookmarked

Any hope to treat tinnitus? :-\

Looks very interesting. Somewhat related: I've recently wrote a code-walkthrough (in Clojure) of modeling chess-like games. https://neuroning.com/boardgames-exercise/ It's very bas…

Similar experience here... python/typescript during the day, Clojure at night ;-) Shameless plug: just yesterday I published a step-by-step code walkthrough hoping to convey my "Cl…

I'd need to really learn Haskell to make sense of it all. Might be a good excuse :-)

cool, thanks!

In the age of AI, I went old-school inspired by Hanson & Sussman's book "Software Design for Flexibility") Meant for beginners. I'd appreciate all feedback!

...package managers to (un)install software. RedHat Linux had RPM since 1998 at least

CVS certainly sucked by today's standards, and SVN was indeed a big improvement, and Git much more so. All I wanted to stress is that the "lock-before-you-can-touch" approach was t…
