I personally believe that people just answer the question “do you visualize?” differently. I used to think I had “aphantasia” but like you said, you see it without seeing it. If yo…

It is absolutely not bait. Declarative programming for the web is certainly more pleasant, but direct DOM manipulation will always and forever have a performance upper hand over re…

SQLite essentially achieves this as well by keeping the entire database in one file. It’s even faster than the filesystem in some cases: https://www.sqlite.org/fasterthanfs.html

Thank you for informing me. I feel dumb for having chuckled.

Testes? Do you mean tests?

Aw crap! What are we gonna do now?

That’s a very good point. I feel, however, that the main idea is that bad philosophy is what ultimately fuels complexity. The grug brain philosophy is simplicity at all costs, unle…

1. initialize all your variables - you will trip over this one, and it's always nasty 2. I typically throw a _ptr at then end for global pointers 3. use a unity build - create a bu…

I think for many people, there’s an increasing feeling of dread that comes from using “modern” tools. There’s a heaviness to them that is difficult to put into words. And I think a…

If we didn’t reinvent the wheel we would all be riding on stone wheels. Do people think we’re going to run out of space or something for these languages? I’ll never understand how …

Cool name

Hi everyone, After four years, I'm finally open sourcing my little markup language that compiles directly to HTML, and has all the "modern" features built into the core, (reactive …

After four years of private development, I’m finally releasing my new markup language for web development. It’s a subtle but powerful paradigm shift, and it dramatically simplifies…

Yeah my manager is the busiest human being in North America.

This is quite profound. Consider a sentence. Every additional word has the ability to completely change the meaning of the whole sentence. In the same way, every passing moment is …

C is an abstract computer as much as any virtual machine. Now this computer is quite simple compared to the abstract machines of Rust and C++ but is doesn’t have much to do with ho…

C is forever. It’s the only language where the community aspires to target as early a specification as they can. This keeps C in the hands of the programmers and not the compiler c…

I had this thought years ago: Real number 1 is 1 OR -1 Imaginary number 1 is 1 AND -1 In other words, when you “break apart” i, you get 1 and -1

That may be true. But if that we’re the case, then a fourth spatial must exist for the entire 3rd dimension to wrap in on itself. And then we find ourselves in the same infinite re…
