Andreessen's true colours have often flared up. I noticed it when India banned Facebook's Free Basics scheme. He had needlessly, without provocation, lashed out like a child who was denied an ice-cream cone. I will…
Almost every Indian I know (including me) mixes at least two languages in their daily conversations seamlessly, that too within a sentence. Westerners may find that Indians talking among themselves in their native…
In my experience, at least some aspects of the Indian English exists because we Indians often mentally translate what we want to say from our native language (which are plentiful) to English before it comes out of our…
Not exactly Indian English, but my favourite English word with an Indian origin is Juggernaut. Its a morphed version of the name of an Indian deity – Jagannath. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggernaut: > A…
True. I use a few (oversmart) aliases for most frequently used git commands: alias gist='git status' alias stagit='git stage' alias gitcom='git commit' # also toying with comgit For the rest, I just use the full…
Heh. For me, a British ambassador to Spain has all three of you beat (probably due to my frequent visits to gov.uk design system and nhs.uk).
Yes! This so much! In my circles, I have seen a tendency to perceive fiction as a kind of low-brow, less intellectual reading. But then these people go on and pick up self-help non-fiction books. Fiction has so much…
Yep. I like to post my learnings, learning processes, distillation of life experiences. My only criterion is "This feels like a good blog post".
After I publish a blog post, I sit back and look at the published post. At that point, I feel a lasting moment of fulfillment. Whether or not I get views on that post doesn't matter. I write for this feeling of…
I think CharlieDigital's point is that a bad payload will fail right at the serialisation boundary in case of .NET. We know the problem right there. Now we only need to fix the bad payload. For TypeScript with only…
Makes sense. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you! In my PoC (https://github.com/jbhoot/poc-ocaml-logic-native-ui) - a tiny hello world CLI on macOS, that has a Swift "frontend" and OCaml "backend" - I followed a similar model: - Both sides pass messages to…
That makes sense. Do you keep the in-memory data in Racket data structures? I imagine keeping the data fed to Swift UI in sync with data maintained by GC'd Racket would involve some work. Have you used…

As the other commenter mentioned, its a mistranslation. I read string_of_int as "string out of int" to make it better.
OP here. Thank you for posting this here, and for all the corrections. I have updated the post with them. My idea behind a mental model is to describe how I visualise a concept in my mind when I think about it. The…
There is also "cp -P". My purpose for the I/O sub-section was only to have a convenient logic of memorising how I/O operations work on soft links by default. Memorising techniques don't really gun for technical…
Sorry about that! I hand-wrote the whole post on my tablet. More motivation for me to write more legibly next time!
The marketing has kept changing. I have always found state management easier in React if I keep it out of React.
> all data manipulation (∆) happens outside of React components, I do something similar. State and its management lives outside the React components, which only consume this state via hooks. Keeping the state in chunks,…
`okcontract/cells` seems to be missing one of the two FRP primitives though: streams (of events). One of the best FRP environment for JavaScript is/was FlapJax: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flapjax, which…
