Data, objects, and how we're railroaded into poor design (2018)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-15 15:06:05

I don’t think we have any actually good programming languages, and I don’t think I’m alone in believing this. Programming is hard, and language design is harder. We’re still learning. But I think they’re all failing us in a shockingly fundamental way. The root of the trouble is a distinction I’d like to draw between data and objects. Let me know if you think there are better terms to use. Programming languages give us tools to represent things. Sometimes these things are values: the integer 1.

news.ycombinator.com Kevin Roche 2025-11-15 16:14:49

Last year I created a demo showing how CSS 3D transforms could be used to create 3D environments. The demo was a technical showcase of what could be achieved with CSS at the time but I wanted to see how far I could push things, so over the past few months I’ve been working on a new version with more complex models, realistic lighting, shadows and collision detection.

This is the Ultimate '90s Cyberpunk Movie (No, It's Not 'The Matrix')

The cyberpunk movement has given us some of the best science fiction movies: Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell and, yes, The Matrix. But there's one great tech noir flick that came out at the height of the cyberpunk craze -- and then all but disappeared. Maybe that's partly because of its title. I'd wanted to rewatch Strange Days for a long time, but I kept forgetting because, honestly, I couldn't remember what it was called. Then I finally rediscovered the sci-fi thriller on Hulu.
