Every year I'm left in the lurch wondering when tea will get its due. Delicious, ubiquitous, nourishing, gently stimulating, and rich with history and lore, to say nothing of glossy tools to drop money on, tea has everything you could want in an obsession-worthy drink. Here's why I'm so into it, and why I think you should be too.

This text is written for Americans, which makes it weird. What do you mean their teabags are forgotten and collect dust? But overall this is a good motivational introduction to Chinese tea.

Меня опять очаровал го. Может, вступить? Первого марта Кубок мэра Казани, но судя по рейтингу участников, мне там делать нечего. Надо разузнать про сообщество, короче.

This article made me very angry. It's written very misleadingly, it's full of lies. The proposed language offers too much decisions to the config designer (all of the decisions that matter, actually). Nevertheless, there are some ideas I want to mention here:

• Not having primitive types beside strings is good. I'd also keep lists and dictionaries (not the way they made it, but the way it should be). Numbers, dates, booleans, all of this is a mess.

• So, empty config or no config file at all must be a valid configuration.

And it's kinda neat how they find connections between category theory and configuration languages.

The 1OPS principle is the single principle that had the biggest impact in my entire coding career. I gave some hints about it in a previous post, but I was suggested that it might warrant a post on its own to go more in depth.

Yet another article lamenting the recent so-called developments of WWW. The author contrasts the web of documents with the web of applications. Lists three strict rules for the former: GET only, no scripts, no cookies. There's no place for Mycorrhiza and Betula in their current form in this world.

I used to think that indeed web applications have to go, embracing Gemini and whatnot. But after all these years, nah. Let's keep JavaScript. The thing is, let's use it responsibly.

Just learned that MoinMoin had an alpha release of 2.0 this March. After 13 or so years of development! This news brings me joy.

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.
