Definition as the system of meaning - we use symbols to communicate, to think, to store the information.

Formal system A formal system is like a game in which tokens are manipulated according to rules in order to see what configurations can be obtained.

The first rule of the internet: Don’t read the comments. – Ralph Breaks the Internet First of all this is not a technological problem, the problem is sociological.

So far whenever I searched for a new job it was quite a chaotic process.

Lisp is a functional language Something called “Pure LISP” never existed — McCarthy (1978) records that LISP had assignment and goto before it had conditional expressions and recursion — it started as a version of FORTRAN I to which these latter were adde…

There is so many terminology which means the same or almost the same.

Let’s talk about the if statement.

There is an ongoing discussion about the difference between object-oriented programming (OOP) and functional programming (FP).

There is an ongoing discussion about the difference between object-oriented programming (OOP) and functional programming (FP).

In the previous post we implemented functions, but not about closures.

In one of my previous posts I talked about the theoretical point of view on functions.

Traditions an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior (such as a religious practice or a social custom) – Merriam-Webster There are things which we do without questioning.

I use Hugo for my blog.

For now our simple programming language (PL) have two operations (+, -), two types (number, symbol - at this point everything that is not number, for example a, b, +, -, etc.).

If we say that computer science is a branch of knowledge which studies “computers”.

I don’t like the concept of “bad code”.

In previous post we talked about parsing, evaluation and REPL.

Programming languages (PL) are treated as a religion.

WTF developers are talking about?

Today I was at the meetup for the newbies.

The post is inspired by this thread.

This is the collection of some ideas and my thoughts about learning, teaching, and knowledge in general.

All the following advice applies to beginners in software development.

In one of my recent PRs I changed all interfaces to types because there were already more types than interfaces.

In the previous post we talked about what is a function.

Minimal introduction: from theoretical concept of function to practical usage of closures in programming.

This website uses umami.is and beampipe.io to analyze traffic.

When people say IDE most of the time they mean just glorified text editor, sometimes with the debugger, sometimes with autocompletion.

I talked about categorical and abstract thinking, let’s talk about symbolic thinking.

Developers talk about abstractions all the time.

Clarification: this post is not about computational complexity e.g. big O notation etc.

This post inspired by the lecture of Stanford professor Robert Sapolsky which skims over some ideas of categorical thinking.

Computer science is a terrible name for this business.

Let’s talk about programming languages which were designed specifically for education.

Ok, I need to explain myself.

Let’s talk about error messages and warnings in developer tools, like compilers, linters type checkers etc.

Blue collar - people who generally do not have a college education, and go straight into a physical, or modest working-class job after high school. urban dictionary Blue collars sometimes defined as low skill job, often a manual labor.
