🧪 YousefED/reactive via Yousef El-Dardiry

I just published a javascript Functional Reactive programming library. Goal was to make it super minimal to integrate into existing apps, so in React you only need to add one hook (useReactive).

💻 A program to render the silhouette of the Mandelbrot set via Kartik Agaram

🧵 conversation

A program to render the silhouette of the Mandelbrot set. Type-safe. Every statement translates to a single instruction of machine code.

Floating point

Fixed point

It's not portable (x86 only) and less expressive than C. On the other hand, there's no danger of undefined behavior, and I don't have to fight C to check for overflow. And the whole supply chain to run it is kilobytes rather than megabytes large.

🎙 Advent of Computing: Episode 55 - Project Xanadu via Mariano Guerra

🧵 conversation

Project Xanadu, started in 1960, is perhaps the oldest hypertext system. It's creator, Ted Nelson, coined the term hypertext just to describe Xanadu. But it's not just a tool for linking data. Nelson's vision of hypertext is a lot more complicated than what we see in the modern world wide web. In his view, hypertext is a means to reshape the human experience. Today we are starting a dive into the strange connection between hypertext, networking, and digital utopianism.

🐦 Why OpenDoc failed? via Mariano Guerra

🧵 conversation

🐦 chris rabl: @andy_matuschak 1) There wasn't a centrally distribution channel for "parts". These were generally sold on CDs in "part packs": might have been a different story if there was an "app store" concept for parts where an individual could pay $1 or $2 for an individual part rather than $50 for a pack

🎙 OpenDoc and Apple's Development Doldrums via Mariano Guerra

🧵 conversation

https://icongardenshow.libsyn.com/macinography-10-opendoc-and-apples-development-doldrums

OpenDoc wasn’t just a way to link data, but aimed to redefine how we interact with documents and applications. With partners like IBM, Novell, and WordPerfect, how could it fail?
