Ещё один агент сегодня.Это по всему реддиту, в каждой телеграмме. "Я собрал за выходные". "Он нашёл 0-day". "Он пишет код лучше". Скрины, демки, восторг, паника.Когда в конце 80-х мы гоняли ASCII-человечков по бескрайним полям зелёных терминалов, на асме и фокале, никто не думал, что из этого получится индустрия на триллионы. Мы просто хотели, чтобы машина слушалась нас, а не наоборот.Сейчас она слушается сама себя. И не мы устанавливаем правила. Правила... Read more ›

В противном случае получится ситуация из анекдота «… один сломал, второй потерял…» и... Read more ›

Yesterday the U.S. Congress approved "a short-term extension" of a FISA law that allows wiretaps without a warrant for surveilling foreign targets, reports CNN — but only until April 30.

Мотивацией для написания этого поста стали два года собеседований JS/TS-инженеров. Я интересуюсь языками и функциональным программированием, поэтому всегда «разбавлял» технические вопросы разговором о парадигмах. И заметил любопытную асимметрию.Об ООП кандидаты рассуждали уверенно — но в основном на концептуальном уровне, не вдаваясь в то, как именно ООП реализовано в JavaScript. С FP картина была другой: уверенности меньше, зато критика — конкретная и повторяющаяся: «иммутабельность дорогая по памяти», «ре Read more ›
