Code is read more than it is written, but it is skimmed more than it is read, so we should write code that is clear at a glance.

I see a positive mention of math notation. The article is probably wrong as hell. Will take a closer look later.

Happiest man ever.

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.

Hi! I am Susam Pal. Welcome to my website. This page provides a brief introduction about me and this website.

I am a software engineer by profession. I have a keen interest in free and open source software. My first non-trivial contribution to open source was NUTCH-559 in 2007. That contribution added support for various authentication schemes to Apache Nutch, an open source web crawler. I have remained active in the open source communities since then. I also develop and maintain a few open source projects of my own at github.com/susam. For a list of my projects, see my open source work details.

How about we measure the amount of times programmers touch the lines. Instead of counting the number of lines we’ll count how many times they were actually modified—we can get this information from Git (or any other SCM). The more you touch that part of the aircraft—the more effort you spent on it, right?

I called it Hits-of-Code (HoC) and created a small tool to help us calculate this number in just one line.

What a nice idea! I installed this program and ran it on Betula and Mycorrhiza codebases. For Betula it's 26350 HoC, for Mycorrhiza it's 137208 HoC. Yeah, Betula is still comparatively young! Hey, what about Mycomarkup? 23443. Oh wow, just a little less than Betula. I expected a small number.

Stract is an open source search engine where the user has the ability to see exactly what is going on and customize almost everything about their search results. It's a search engine made for hackers and tinkerers just like ourselves. No more searches where some of the terms in the query arent used, and the engine tries to guess what you really meant. You get what you search for.

Лидер арктической станции поменял на ней часовой пояс и просит tzdb обновить информацию за несколько часов до смены пояса. Выясняется, что там десять лет неправильная информация была до этого. Также он говорит, почему они не перешли на московское время: новости во время обеда не будут стримить.

A beautiful life in a remote cabin in a forest is a luxury, not available to everyone. We can't just return to the past.

Programming fonts are stuck in the past. Proportional typesetting is everywhere and
there is no reason why you can’t use it for code.

Good links.

So this is what I learned for Oddµ: The wiki is for single authors
first and foremost. All the wiki features like revisions, diffs,
histories, recent changes – they only matter if you have enthusiastic
collaborators that you don’t know and I haven’t seen that in a very
long time. So that’s why Oddµ lacks all those features. Most people
aren’t going to need them.

The Gemini protocol was a big part of my COVID-19 lockdown experience. Discovering this underground, small protocol, having long discussions on the mailing list, and most importantly for me, developing software. My terminal Gemini browser, Amfora, was my first public FOSS project, something actually intended for a wider audience to use. It succeeded beyond my expectations (but within my hopes), and I’m proud to say it now has thousands of downloads.

The author applies the belts from martial arts to Go knowledge. I have the green one.

Not exactly sure what that is, but looks cool, like a newspaper.
