> There are many ways to do so: race others in ranked online challenges, try to solve hard programming riddles, or study new paradigms. However, most programmers, whose work involves a form of writing, overlook writing itself.
The point is that sometimes that "doing" doesn't advance you, as it's not challenging anymore. Writing can be a form of deliberate effort to improve in your craft. There are many other ways to improve, the post focuses on one.

The article mentions that prominently in a few paragraphs, this is the first one:
“That's because the major selling point of the 737 Max is that it is just a 737, and any pilot who has flown other 737s can fly a 737 Max without expensive training, without recertification, without another type of rating.”
ReasonML can compile to native, rescript can’t. Reason still exists as a separate project, and projects that have been rewritten into reason will not necessarily switch.
ReScript requires a lot of commitment, as you have to completely rewrite each module to 100% comply with the type algorithm.
Typescript even transpiles when it encounters type errors.
There are useful comments in my (shameless plug) post about my same transition:
Homebrew also builds from source, but it uses cached builds they call bottles. I believe other package managers that build from source also used cached builds, I don’t know about Arch.
With webassembly we might start seeing compiled websites and we’ll miss the good old days of simple JavaScript.
I was impressed by it being a “Framework IDE.” It contains hundreds of visual tools and workflows where actual source code files are a small component which you drag and drop into widgets. Each widget is a visual representation of a class, and it’s source code is irrelevant.
Some of these tools are visual state machines, reactions to events, version control, collaboration. Most of us won’t like that change, as we’d lose a lot of control to opinionated rigid tools.
Maybe XCode and Android Studio will evolve to that for the next generation of developers.
DPR is Dread Pirate Roberts from Silk Road.
“What unfolded next was a piece of improvisational theater. At 3:14 pm, DPR was typing away, writing to Cirrus. Just then, a middle-aged woman and man came toward Ross, ambling along in the kind of semihomeless shuffle you might often see in a San Francisco library. “Fuck you!” the woman yelled when they were directly behind Ross’ chair. As if they were a deranged couple about to fight, the man grabbed the woman by the collar and raised his fist.
Ross turned around for just a second, during which a hand reached across the table and grasped Ross’ Samsung. The petite, unassuming young Asian woman sitting across from Ross this whole time was, to everyone’s surprise, also an FBI agent. Ross lunged for his machine, a hair too late, as she turned like a quarterback for a quick handoff to Kiernan, who appeared out of nowhere—as instructed—to get the laptop. It took less than 10 seconds. From afar, Tarbell was astonished by the elegant choreography of the whole thing. It looked like the police procedural version of a tight jazz quartet.”
It also felt somewhat formal, I felt uncomfortable seeing myself as a listener in a square. It was ambiguous whether I was a passive listener or I had the possibility to be active. I have a thick accent so I prefer to communicate by chat.
“ The error does occur because image segments, that are considered as identical by the pattern matching engine of the Xerox scan copiers, are only saved once and getting reused across the page. If the pattern matching engine works not accurately, image segments get replaced by other segments that are not identical at all, e.g. a 6 gets replaced by an 8.”

It’s also compares this with checking node_modules into git
What is the business history of it? Did companies /investors show interest in acquiring it? What do you think needs to be done in terms of business development to extend the index to cover the modern internet, as well as get whitelisted (and shortlisted) properly by cdns?
I feel physical progress rather than decay, so I feel confident of a healthy future for myself. Group exercise has also helped me socialize.
A regular schedule has helped me feel satisfied of the week, and enjoy more my rest days.
Your brain also doesn’t infinitely recurse as it doesn’t have infinite time or space.
A machine that given a logical statement outputs whether the statement is universally valid is impossible, ergo all mechanisms that don’t output true or false given a logical statement are impossible??
