  • 17:00 - 20:00 - отпустить тормоза. Избегайте наркотиков, но в остальном дайте себе полный карт-бланш в том, что вы себе обычно не позволяете.

  • 20:00 - 22:00 - прислушайтесь к своим чувствам. Включите музыку, побейте грушу, посидите в тишине. У каждого свой метод. На этом этапе важно дать волю эмоциям.

  • 22:00 - 7:00 - сон. Чем дольше, тем лучше. Но важно не валяться, если вы уже проснулись.

  • 07:00 - 10:00 - уборка. Чем больше вы выкинете или подарите кому-то, тем лучше. Делайте это с предельной жестокостью.

  • 10:00 - 13:00 - спорт, массаж, баня (безусловно можно сочетать). Помните о том, что здесь важно почувствовать тело. Вернуться в реальность через ощущения и движения.

  • 13:00 - 14:30 - десять дел. Важно не делать больше, не делать сложного, но использовать этот метод для разгона внутреннего генератора и перевода его в созидательное русло.

  • 14:30 - 17:00 - потоковое творчество. От футбола до рисования. Это очень индивидуально. Принципиально важно на этом этапе создать что-то свое, вернуть вкус творчества и игры.

Safer Enums · npf.io

npf.io/2022/05/safer-enums

There’s no size difference between a string and a struct{ string } and it’s just as easy to read as a straight string. Because of the String() method, you can pass these values to %s etc in format strings and they’ll print out the name with no extra code or work.

TrueBrain/TrueWiki: A wikiserver alternative to mediawiki and gollum

github.com/TrueBrain/TrueWiki

I have been responsible for the MediaWiki installation on https://wiki.openttd.org/ from ~2005 till 2020. One thing became clear: it is very difficult to keep it up-to-date and to find quality extensions that live for more than a few years.

So, we set out to find an alternative. With the experience we have had with for example BaNaNaS we ideally would like to store all the data in git. This is mostly as data in git is easier for more people to maintain, then a database where very few people have access to. Also, the wiki of OpenTTD was not big enough (~5000 pages) to really need a database to support it. As extra bonus, we would favour any system that could easily be cached.

The software closest to this is gollum. Although gollum appears to do exactly what we want, especially as wikitext is supported via WikiCloth, reality turned out to be something else. Although it does support wikitext, or a subset thereof, it does not support templates. This is a huge issue for any real wiki, as templates make a wiki of any decent size possible. Initially we did hack in support for templates, but as it is written in Ruby, not a language any of the people involved knew sufficiently to make any decent contribution, it only added more issues than it resolved. In the end, it was decided this was not a road to go.

The history of Tetris randomizers - Simon Laroche

simon.lc/the-history-of-tetris-randomizers

An overview of Tetris randomizers.

The 7-bag has a consistent piece output, making it more predictable. It’s easy to know where in a bag you are, and when a piece you need might come. Because of how predictable this random generator is, it’s actually possible to play forever. Overall it’s a silly system that makes you wonder how it ever became the official randomizer.

It's actually why I like that randomizer!

I should try out TGM3.

Funny part: the illustration for the 7-bag features wrongly-coloured tetrominoes.

Tables and Strings in COBOL | datagubbe.se

Since I'm a deeply demented man with a lot of free time on my hands, I decided to expand a bit on the subject - if only to give myself a chance of brushing up on my own very rudimentary COBOL knowledge.
