Thanks for writing this. This story is rarely told correctly and you mostly got it as I remember it.

We at LinkedIn have been using CDE's (we call them rdev) for quite a while. We wrote about them in our engineering blog: https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2021/building-in-the-…

The thing about classical music is that you have to understand the works in order to really enjoy them – of course there are exceptions when the melody just grabs you but that's no…

Thanks, added.

Rust noob here but couldn't you write if let Some(element) = some_vec.first() { println!("{}", element); // .. more code } and avoid the unwrap and the empty check? Edit: Added a `…

This is a special case of Pratt parsing (the author wrote another article about it later on: https://www.engr.mun.ca/~theo/Misc/pratt_parsing.htm )

Author here... I wrote this after reading Yudkowsky's article (linked in mine) and had the example posted there in mind as I went through the article. This was many years ago and I…

No, that is the LinkedIn app. It's the messaging dialog (you can see their custom "send" button at the lower right corner).

True, but they could set the threshold higher. Like for instance have it match for both name, last name, and company. There is a tradeoff between accuracy and relevance and that ca…

Sounds like equivalent representations no? Limit the scope of the I lines or wrap them in D lines.

The BAM server is part of the open source version. The 90-day trial is for the enterprise version (which is the same version, only with commercial support). BitKeeper doesn't suppo…

Yeah, we're trying to figure out how to do that.

We have a git importer but it's not part of the "official" repo as there are still a few corner cases. I am afraid we don't have a mercurial importer though...

I assume they mean this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_(computer_science)

That was actually the original prototype. Little has moved on to have a pointer object type.

He means the author of the book, not the programming language.

I learned emacs first and became reasonably proficient in it. Some years ago, I joined a company where most people used vi. I saw it as an opportunity to use vi (also vim) and I al…
