I do it way too often when I'm alone. Seems like I'm not as crazy as I thought :)

Does world really work like that?

By "code" mean a syntax/semantics and by "program" architecture/algorithms?

An app which only requires 50-100MB released by a major software vendor in 2020. I am shocked. It's a bit short on features though. Hopefully, that's not going to break its neck.

Kudos for citing Bloomberg as a source.

I thought so as well - up until yesterday when I tried desktop version of Microsoft Outlook. Such an awful experience. Just trying to pick an available meeting room was surprisingl…

Sometimes I have a "how awful would it be to do XY" moments. Usually something brutal. But it always makes me pay even more attention to not doing that very thing even accidentally…

It's harder to believe that there is _no way to leak information_ than the opposite. There is always a side channel, right? Timing is the most trivial one.

Most of the issues outlined are problems of the web. The HTML+CSS+JS combo is just painfully slow and wasteful by design - it's just way too many levels of flexible abstractions. W…

That's more than a century ago. I was thinking about stuff built like in 1850-1950.

I'd like to see a thorough performance evaluation. JS/NPM based untyped language together with communication via HTTP/JSON sounds painfully inefficient.

Could the goals be accomplished in existing languages, such as Rlang, Haskell, Scala + Akka? Is the added value sufficient for it to find its place?

There seems to be a premise that a programming is actually easy and we are slowly realizing it. Who else finds it flawed? I've seen plenty of open source code, proprietary startup …

There were less students at his time. If there was a way to plot "average added value" of a master's theses trough out the last century, I'd expect it to be non zero historically a…

Depends on a country and educational system, right? Yet usually there is someone or some committee which decides whether a piece of work is sufficient for a student to get a master…

Cool. I'd expect him to get the Ph.d. in like 20 years after graduation, not two. That's significant.

Was he so talented or has the bar for CS master thesis lowered significantly since then?

Because there simply would be a 3th party app which would ignore the ads? If there was not I'd write one. Simple as that. FB and Google closing their XMPP gateways is an example of…
