Стажёр Вася и его истории об идемпотент­ности API | Блог | Яндекс Go Dev

dev.go.yandex//blog/intern-vasya-2019-03-12

Идемпотентность — звучит сложно, говорят о ней редко, но это касается всех приложений, использующих API в своей работе. Меня зовут Денис Исаев, и я руковожу одной из бэкенд групп в Яндекс Такси. Сегодня я поделюсь с читателями описанием проблем, которые могут возникнуть, если не учитывать идемпотентность распределенных систем в своем проекте.

Почему работодатель хочет, чтобы вы были ИП

ruitunion.org/posts/2024-03-25-employer-want-you-to-be-an-individual-entrepreneur

Оформление ИП даёт сиюминутную выгоду: в ближайшее время вы получите больше на руки (но это неточно), при этом рискуете больничными, отпускными, да и доходом в целом.

The Inadequacy of Most Proposed Approaches

web.archive.org/web/20010519155455/http://www.clir.org/PUBS/reports/rothenberg/inadequacy.html

Most approaches that have been proposed fall into one of four categories: (1) reliance on hard copy, (2) reliance on standards, (3) reliance on computer museums, or (4) reliance on migration. Though some of these may play a role in an ultimate solution, none of them comes close to providing a solution by itself, nor does their combination.

On archival.

The most damaging exercise myth

bigthink.com/health/most-damaging-exercise-myth

It is widely believed that it is normal to become less physically active as you get older. But this is a pernicious myth about exercise.

Working out is beneficial when you're old. Well, I'm young, and I'm already crumbling. I should work out, I really should, but I don't like doing it...

Browsing projects on #Sourcehut reminds me of what FLOSS development looked like 15-20 years ago. Ugly interfaces that were just thin layers above the code, barely any README (let alone wikis, or any form of easily accessible and structured documentation), and let's not mention accessibility on mobile.

How are we supposed to build the foundations of tomorrow's FLOSS if we use tools that look even more outdated than Craigslist? How are we supposed to have any credibility when we tell people "stop using Github, try Sourcehut instead"? How do we expect to create user engagement? How do we expect somebody who's not a developer to use software that doesn't even come with an easily accessible documentation?

And the discussion is good. The endless discussion about SourceHut's UI+UX! My opinion: UI is good, UX not so. But I use it nevertheless!

Damn Small Software - Björn Wärmedal

warmedal.se/~bjorn/posts/2021-11-27-damn-small-software.html

Now and again I go back to looking at the Damn Small Linux website. I never tried it but I absolutely love the idea. It was a desktop OS at only 50 MB, meant to include everything you may need on a daily basis. Of course it had to go with small scale versions for most things, but it packed no less than three different web browsers, two window managers, word processor, spreadsheet editor, pdf reader, and more. Wow!
