В японской культуре есть такое расхожее выражение «нанацу доогу» — семь предметов (или семь инструментов), которые определяют человека по профессии или по его предназначению.

Например, есть список для воина, куда входят: кольчуга( панцирь), катана, длинный меч, лук, стрелы, накидка «хоро» и шлем.

My principle objection to OOP goes back to the basic ideas involved, I will outline some of these ideas and my objections to them.

Joe Armstrong is the creator of Erlang. He has 4 objections to OOP:

1. He says functions and data structures are very different, so it's incorrect to bind them together. Feels like a weak argument to me.

2. He somehow says that everything being an objects is wrong, and everything should be a different type instead. This is an even weaker argument.

3. He dislikes that he can't put all the types in one file. Yeah, it's good you can't!

4. And something incoherent about states.

I'm not the biggest fan of OOP myself, but this rant is just useless. I am keeping this bookmark just because the site looks cool.

It's easy to determine if you really need the object oriented paradigm, you just need to look for the things that you can only do with object oriented programming and then ask yourself whether you really need that. It's called "The Three Pillars of Object-Oriented Programming". If you don't use all three at the same time, then you're not doing object oriented programming and you don't need it.

Find your people on Mastodon.

StreetPass is a browser extension that helps you find your people on Mastodon. Here's how it works:

1. Mastodon users verify themselves by adding a custom link to their personal site.

2. StreetPass lets you know when you've found one of these links, and adds them to your StreetPass list.

3. Browse the web as usual. StreetPass will build a list of Mastodon users made up of the websites you go to.

When my T620, arrived in the mail, I was immediately impressed. It has a substantial weight, due to its stong metal case surrounded by a thick plastic with many perforations for air flow. The T620 is fan-less, so it is absolutely silent while running, perfect for an HTPC. It reminded me of a Dell business desktop computer, because its cover can be removed without tools. Inside, the T620 was completely dust free. It looked new on the outside and the inside. This was almost like buying a new computer for $26.35. I immediately removed the 16 GB SSD and booted the T620 from an external USB flash drive with a command-line-only Debian distribution. Seeing that the power consumption never rose above 11 Watts during boot and remained at 5-6 Watts while idling confirmed that this should make a fine web server or NAS.

Markdown in all its flavors, interpretations, and forks won’t go away. However, it’s important to look at emerging content formats that try to encompass modern needs. In this article, Knut shares his advice against Markdown by looking back on why it was introduced in the first place, and by going through some of the major developments of content on the web.

The author tells how Markdown is used for different purposes.

Is that enough? Evidence, as they say, suggests otherwise. We are finally always online and, as it turns out, lonelier than ever.

In a sense, we have begun to worship the Internet while we have lost our understanding of the basic principles that led to its creation a mere generation and a half ago. In this article I give as clear a picture as I am capable of what the Internet could be to each of us and why it should be that way.

Big text.

If you are finding the Internet toxic and depressing, you are very likely spending your time on the wrong part of the Internet.

The author tells us that CGI is good and should be used a lot.

Нужно воспитывать людей вокруг себя. Нельзя прощать пиццериям холодной пиццы. Нужно звать менеджера, шеф-повара, кого угодно — и требовать горячей. Нельзя выходить из супермаркета через неудобный вход, когда удобный закрыли за пять минут до конца рабочего дня. Нужно звать начальника службы безопасности, управляющего, кого угодно — и заставлять его открыть тебе тот выход, через который тебе удобнее всего выйти. Не всегда будет получаться — иногда и менеджеры тоже бывают буфетчицами.

Это сначала на тебя будут смотреть, как на сволочь последнюю. Но зато лет через 50 мы будем жить в другой стране. Если не ты, то кто это сделает?

I've wanted something like this for a long time. Intended for small graphs where laying things out by hand is not too painful, and it's nice that things don't move around every time I make a change, as happens with graphviz. The file format is also amenable to git; no long lines, and adding new nodes or edges doesn't reorder unrelated nodes and edges.

Funktal is a functional programming language for the 64 kB Uxn virtual machine.

Why Fortran? Funktal is essentially an art project; using Fortran is a statement. I could have done this in C, but I prefer Fortran's arrays. I am using Fortran-90 but with a very restricted feature set.

«Уезжая в Великое Плаванье, Дарвин захватил с собой и недавно вышедший первый том «Основ геологии» крупного английского геолога Чарлза Лайеля (1797-1875), который, в противовес господствовавшей в то время теории катастроф, одним из первых пытался установить медленное, эволюционное развитие земной коры, происходящее под действием всё тех же вечных, так считал Лайель, факторов (атмосферные осадки, текучие воды, морские приливы и отливы, извержения вулканов, землетрясения и т. д.), какие незаметно для человеческого глаза неуклонно видоизменяют (малое творит БОЛЬШОЕ) лик земли.

Эта книга произвела на Дарвина большое впечатление. В университетские годы он нисколько не сомневался в правильности основной церковной догмы (Библия, стих I: «Вначале сотворил Бог небо и землю» и так далее) или её вариантов (в какой-то момент Бог разочаровался в созданных им существах и ниспослал на их головы катастрофы, чтобы уничтожить всё живое и начать всё сначала). Однако теперь, воочию наблюдая во время многочисленных высадок на южно-американский континент природу этих далёких от Англии краёв, его начали брать сомнения. Он постепенно убеждался, что «ваять» природу, видимо, могут не только сверхъестественные божественные силы, но и действующие в продолжение гигантских промежутков времени (миллионы лет казались при Дарвине сроками фантастически большими, теперь счет идет уже на миллиарды) силы ничтожные.

The Canadian Wetland Classification System (National Wetlands Working Group 1997) is based on a hierarchical system, which includes (1) wetland class, (2) wetland form and (3) wetland type. The five wetland "classes" are differentiated by their developmental characteristics and the environment in which they exist. The five classes are: bog, fen, marsh, swamp, and shallow water. Some wetlands accumulate peat (partially-decomposed organic matter) and are called peatlands. Bogs and fens are the dominant peatland classes in Alberta, although some swamps and marshes can also accumulate peat. In contrast, shallow open water wetlands and many marshes and swamps do not accumulate peat.

The bridge spider uses its web as an engineered “external ear” up to 10,000 times the size of its body, according to a preprint study posted to bioRxiv on October 18. The discovery, which has not yet been peer reviewed, challenges many assumptions that scientists have held for years about how spiders and potentially other arthropods navigate and interact with the world around them.

“Evolutionarily speaking, spiders are just weird animals,” Jessica Petko, a Pennsylvania State University York biologist who didn’t work on the new study, writes in an email to The Scientist. “While it has been long known that spiders sense sound vibration with sensory hairs on their legs, this paper is the first to show that orb weaving spiders can amplify this sound by building specialized web structures.”
