  1. #TIL that #EdsgerDijkstra taught at #UTAustin for fifteen years. He was there while I was a student there, and I might have sat in the same building as his office on multiple occasions, although I have no idea where his office actually was back then. Also, I'm not sure I knew who he was back then. XD

    @dfloyd888, did you know this?

  6. Fixed Point Considered Harmful

    Oh, and another little quirk of this Sinclair Scientific was that it always used scientific notation, so its manual went so far as to shame fixed-point as "confusing, irrelevant and dangerous"!

  11. The term ""

    The terms "user", "programmer", "developer", "hacker", "coder", etc are artifacts our current sad state of affairs with barely‑usable & barely‑programmable systems of computing and definitely not allowing both actions to merge in one mode‑less action v.v

    Until someone coins a better word, I would like to use the neutral word "" instead

    ——
    PS: as an aside using the term "user" for someone who is addicted is also an asshole move, so don't do that

  20. JS private class fields considered harmful - by Lea Verou:

    lea.verou.me/blog/2023/04/priv

    I've never used private class fields, but always use `private myVar` in TypeScript.

    I also think it's syntax is totally unreadable - i don't want to "hashtag" my variables everytime I want to access them!

  25. '"it’s disingenuous of Microsoft to suggest that the failures of Bing Chat are just a matter of tone.'"

    "Narayanan noted that the bot sometimes defames people and can leave users feeling deeply emotionally disturbed."

    “'It can suggest that users harm others,' he said. 'These are far more serious issues than the tone being off.'"

  33. Consistency in software:

    Seek for consistency -> tell/force everyone to change -> waste time/break things -> less applications

    Seek for consistency -> enforce certain patterns -> artifical constrains on design -> less powerful apps

    Great applications don't care about consistency with other applications and will use whatever style to assist their purpose.

    Thus, the Consistency Fetish is harmful.
