@artbrock What do you think of the criticisms of Google's stance on openness? E.g. John Gruber: http://daringfireball.net/linked...

@psnively DDC looks very interesting. Fun for a sunday afternoon.

@psnively And I think FP and other declarative approaches give us better tools for building new abstract machines than imperative does.
Dec 20, 2009
from
@psnively I agree, however I don't think we yet understand what kind of 'machine' will be the replacement.
Dec 20, 2009

@psnively Does declarative code scale and remain 'correct', or does it just scale and remain internally consistent?

@psnively wow - That 'download' link wasn't there yesterday - in fact I searched the page for the word 'download' so I know it wasn't.
Dec 20, 2009
from
@psnively is that paper actually downloadable from there?
Dec 20, 2009
from
@stevedekorte I assume you've seen instapaper?
Dec 18, 2009
from
@stevedekorte Agreed, although that's not too hard for them to do, especially if they put those results in the main search.

@stevedekorte but it doesn't work for rug dimensions yet.

@stevedekorte If it was complete (which it isn't) you'd type 'width' and 'length' into the headers of a couple of the columns.

@dskendall desktop notification, but also just different use cases - I graze frequently with Twitter vs email I set aside time for.

@accarmichael I tried threadsy. Was reluctant at first too. It's very slick, but wasn't enough to get me away from Tweetie, and Gmail.

@psnively the question I ask myself is -do I have anything worth programming?

"The opening line is provocative, but I didn't read the article because I'm not a subscriber.
Do they have evidence to support the claim that google will sell these to the public, or is it just a guess based on the rumours?"

@psnively I lost that years ago. More like offering a hint of how a good module system could work.

@psnively hah! that's exactly what's undermined my belief in them :-)

@psnively Makes sense. Scala led me to wonder about that myself, but I'm not quite there.
Dec 11, 2009

@psnively I guess I need to write a large program that only uses FP to really be sure myself.
Dec 11, 2009
from
@psnively so are you now against the use of objects for 'programming in the large'?
