When was the last time you sat through a safety briefing that you really listened to? How much of your training is just a safety briefing in disguise?

Any sort of reasonable language requires a module system: a way to use other people's code, including your own.

Technology can offer us more. But that's not a technology problem: it's a motivation problem. This is at the heart of Pandita's mission.

More on implementing a VM. Assignment is an interesting special case. How do you handle an expression that doesn’t entirely evaluate like an expression?

On the Pandita blog today. We’ve all taken surveys, but how much knowledge depends on them? And how good are they, actually?

There's a surprising amount of tech behind @PanditaIo, including its own language. I've started writing about building this.

Hey @daveg, does this sound familiar? Has Melon Husk really only ever had one idea?

ALT Extract from the linked article. The quote from Melon Husk “And maybe we pre-populate their account with and say, OK, we’re gonna give you 10 bucks, and you can send it anywhere within Twitter.” is highlighted. Because rumour has it that this is what Husk did back at PayPal and the company way losing billions until a grown-up stepped in, removed him and stopped the idiocy.

for the last 20 years, I've hated talking about 9/11. it's horrible memories of the smell of ash and not knowing where my dad was. but now I live with this curious little boy who chirps things like "why did grandpa's plane fall down?" over pancakes and it's remarkably healing

I wonder just how many VC “limited partners” are Russian oligarchs.
Now you’re wondering, too.

This is a serious question. As a founder, in conversations with VCs about investment, what can I reasonably expect VCs to reveal about the source of their capital?

Apropos that thread, are float and double the original sins of premature optimisation?
How much better would software be if we all used arbitrary precision by default, and had to opt in to floating point when we needed speed?
