Rotation with three shears

cohost.org/tomforsyth/post/891823-rotation-with-three

There's a graphics trick that used to be widely known that has now probably almost vanished from the graphics consciousness - you can do rotations by applying three shears in a row. This should surprise you! It surprised me. And it re-surprises me every time I remember it.

Python’s Preprocessor

pydong.org/posts/PythonsPreprocessor

Every now and then you hear outrageous claims such as “Python has no preprocessor”.

Curly braces for blocks, increment and decrement, and C-like preprocessor directives. The most arcane Python hacks!

Ещё один клон старого ВК. Мне дали доступ к какому-то аккаунту. Автор проекта заметил, что я в сети, и начал со мной разговор. Обсудили чуток, прикольно. Пожелал ему удачи и попросил сделать RSS-ленту, чтобы я подписаться мог.

Some activities are harder than others

alexschroeder.ch/view/2024-01-31-activities

Alex tells us that, for him, baking and cooking are easier than programming and soldering, because the errors there average out. As for me, this is completely inverse.

In programming, an error never fixes itself. You can observe it and fix it, you can write tests. You can run the program multiple times. It's you who fixes it, and you can understand how it's done. It's measurable!

Meanwhile, cooking is a nightmare. Burning something is routine for me. Is that too much or too little oil? For how long do I fry? What do I do with these spices? Do they really affect the taste? And to observe something, I can't rely on symbolic things like text. No, I have to look (is this color good? No idea!), smell (as if I know the difference) and taste (nothing more inaccurate).

I'm happy when something can be cooked with a timer. 15 min for buckwheat? I'm in. I'm more happy when the time is short. 4 min for this thin kind of spaghetti? Already boiling water!

I mean, even boiling water is not simple. My parents told me to wait until the correct bubbles appear. I'm waiting for the scary ones. Also, salt is supposed to make it boil faster. How much salt do I add?

And I didn't even talk about plants, which Alex also considers easy. They're not 😭

Редизайн Betula

telegra.ph/Redizajn-Betula-04-05

Ярослав проектировал редизайн Бетулы. Сегодня я хотел на него посмотреть ещё раз. Чтобы более не терять, сохраняю здесь.

Очевидно, что я со значительной частью пунктов не согласен. Но тут есть достойные мысли. Вы наверняка увидите или уже увидели некоторые моменты из статьи в обновлениях Бетулы.
