    If you find out, let me know! I have been working on a port of Excalidraw to my ReMarkable Pro and it's opened my eyes to how much we take for granted in terms of UI interactions w…

    Well said. And when you put it that way (we have not figured out how to retain control over the computer in the face of these abstractions), I almost laughed out loud because of ho…

    It seems like the main takeaway is that many textbook OO paradigms aren't the most optimized representations of the code. In this case, the cost is dynamic dispatch and pointer-cha…

    Related: The Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect. In Michael Crichton's own words: "Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect works as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some…

    Now that's a throwback and is definitely my goto on macOS. I remember I did a bunch of chores in order to buy a Visa gift card just to purchase it. Was much easier than explaining …
