Unit tests are not a panacea. End-to-end tests are often much more useful. Some things cannot be tested at all. Think before testing.

UPD 2025. The author migrated to some weird proprietary blogging platform and broke the link. Why?

They predicted we would have to work less now. We work the same, and we have a lot of “bullshit jobs”. I don't like name, but the term seems to be popular, so I'll stick with it for now. Why such jobs emerge? People need work, and if there is no real work, they are fine with fake work.

GRR Martin has a nice way of captivating the readers while still killing the characters all around the story. Usually, that wouldn't work, but he has a trick.

They identified several problems with Markdown and proposed solutions to it for a future markup. I know of a good solution, which has no such ambiguities — Mycomarkup. Although a lot of points of the article do not really apply, as Mycomarkup is missing some features...

Why in C = means assignment

RMS was right with the four freedoms. Copyleft was the solution all along. Then Ploum lists the freedoms and a new obligation:

• The right to use the software at your own discretion

• The right to study the software

• The right to modify the software

• The right to redistribute the software, including with modifications

• The obligation to keep those four rights, effectively keeping the software in the commons.

A surprisingly cute Linux-related news forum.

Very true! Some time ago I came to a similar conclusion, and since then try to not joke like that.

Decker is a multimedia platform for creating and sharing interactive documents, with sound, images, hypertext, and scripted behavior. It draws strong influence from HyperCard, as well as more modern codeless or “low-code” creative tools like Twine and Bitsy. If Jupyter Notebooks are a digital lab notebook, think of Decker as a stack of sticky notes for spatially organizing your thoughts and making quick prototypes.

It's fun and look pretty. Exports to HTML and to a custom format.

Несколько правил, чтобы держать Git приличном виде.

В принципе, норм, кроме:

У каждого PR есть expire. Висит две недели — значит никому не нужен и удаляется автоматом. В следующий раз команда будет расторопней.

Хотя мб это мне тут надо подумать.

Иной айтишник нет-нет да пожалуется на разбиение строк по 80 символов. Считаю нужным прояснить ситуацию.

Гришаев говорит глупости, чтобы оправдать ограничение длины строк. Справедливости ради, он не цепляется именно за 80, но идеи дурные, конечно.

Если кто не знает, откуда столько ненависти к PDF, сейчас объясню.

И, кстати, самое интересное начинается, когда возникает вопрос о том, что понимать под "эффективностью"? Что лучше: иметь сто рук или уметь хорошо пользоваться только двумя? Вопрос далеко не праздный, поскольку количественное увеличение разрядности ещё не означает автоматическое увеличение производительности. Например, чем плотнее код, тем лучше он кэшируется и тем быстрее работает. Поэтому, например, ARM имеет thumb mode. И поэтому же уже упомянутые мной компиляторы удалось вместить в 512 байт, а попробуйте сделать то же с 64-битным кодом.

Прикольный сабсет C, который вмещается в бут-сектор. Евгений хороший цикл заметок написал.
