An Afternoon at the Recursive Café: Two Threads Interleaving Scene: A cozy coffee shop called "Lambda Grounds" where the Wi-Fi password is "currying123" and the baristas wear t-shirts with arrows pointing right. ALEX, a curious philosophy student, sits across from CLAUDE, a mysterious figure who might be an AI, a very pale computer science professor, or possibly a sentient stack overflow answer. Steam rises from their cups in patterns that look suspiciously like lambda calculus expressions. AL

When a job seeker named Conor recently applied for a content architecture position, something felt off right away. For one thing, he got an offer for a virtual job interview just minutes after he applied, which seemed like a suspiciously quick turnaround time in today's beleaguered job market. Was there any way that a human had actually reviewed his application? And when he logged in for the interview, he immediately realized he was talking to an AI system, not a human.

Why do we keep gravitating toward complexity?

The Great Pyramids took decades to build. It was a monumental feat of human ingenuity and collaboration. Today, we software developers erect our own pyramids each day - not from stone, but from code. Yet despite far more advanced tools, these systems don’t always make the experience better. So why, when KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) is a well-known mantra, do we keep gravitating toward complexity? Marketing > Simplicity Sell me this pen: ✎ What? You don’t know how?

Lexy: A parser combinator library for C++17

Why should I use lexy over XYZ? lexy is closest to other PEG parsers. However, they usually do more implicit backtracking, which can hurt performance and you need to be very careful with rules that have side-effects. This is not the case for lexy, where backtracking is controlled using branch conditions. lexy also gives you a lot of control over error reporting, supports error recovery, special support for operator precedence parsing, and other advanced features.

How a 2020 Rolex Collection Changed the Face of Watch Design

As the company that either invented or popularized the dive watch, the GMT watch, the first water-resistant watch, the first automatic watches, and much more besides, you could hardly downplay Rolex’s influence on watchmaking history. But while its iconic sports watches, like the Submariner, Daytona and GMT-Master are endlessly imitated, Rolex is not seen as a trendsetter, preferring to ignore passing horological fashions.
