I don't believe this has anything to do with AI, it most likely is rule based (not the entire system, just inclusive warnings). People like to shit on AI, but AI wouldn't really ma…

Both flow and typescript are great tools. Typescript has much better tooling and great IDE integration, using typescript is a no-brainer for new projects. Flow's soundness does shi…

Developers who re-invent/re-imagine some wheels usually realize at the end why the original wheels are designed like those. We, understandably, don't quite appreciate the work othe…

Can you elaborate? I think all modern package managers (vundle/neobundle/vimplug) do a pretty good job.

To say something is pseudo-intelligence or true intelligence, one has to define intelligence rigorously. That is more philosophical than people think, because how little we scienti…

This is an old article, and so wrong and vague in so many aspects of digital colors. It contains not much more than simple device-dependent RGB/HSV colors. To use colors correctly …
