I'm convinced a large % of programmers don't actually like computers. As a side effect, are also perfectly happy to throw away their register allocation to a compiler as soon as they can. I don't get it, at ALL. Don't you LIKE understanding the magic of the machine?

the fact that no modern ereader seems to offer a better pale fire reading experience than sticking your fingers in the pages is a completely inditement of the medium

A diagram with various nodes and connectors? Yes, doable with pure CSS. Another demo powered by modern features! css-tip.com/node-connect... Regardless of the node's position, the connectors will adjust their shape and position for optimal connection 👀 Drag the elements and see the magic 🪄

ok I think I've really got this working. - rich text CRDT (peritext-based) - movable blocks with split & join, retaining provenance and collaborative editing - strong cycle prevention both for split/join and block nesting annnd just for fun I've also implemented multicursor in the demo (cmd+click)

We’re doing a user study to find out how adding always-on live values alongside code effects writing and debugging experiences for functional programming. See reply for sign-up details

You know how IDEs give you a red squiggly underline if you use a variable that hasn't been defined? I want the same thing for writing prose. Red underline if you refer to a non-obvious concept that hasn't previously been defined in the text.
