Или вот под Москвой какой-то ивент. Пишут, что не для новичков! Я ни разу вроде бы вслух на Эсперанто ни с кем не разговаривал, смешно будет. А может надо?

So true

I think sound is a dramatically underutilized way to communicate with the user in modern software tools. Using sound for a notification is just annoying, but using other properties (pitch, timbre, length, etc) or producing varying drone sounds across time presents new ways to passively inform users of things. A classic example of this is fan sounds alerting users that their computer is under heavy load, and perhaps something is going wrong. As modern fans get quieter, computer programs should offer similar interfaces to provide all kinds of information.

Aika is a repository of mine dedicated to Arvelie and Neralie utilities, in an effort to make these time systems more accessible.

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.

Apple released a language for configs. It's well-designed, take a look. Has Go bindings. I would've considered it if I needed a config language.

Вастрик сравнивает программистов, которым по работе надо постоянно выбрасывать свой код, с фермерами, которые при первой необходимости забивают свой скот. Говорит, что пет-проекты — это уже питомцы, и о них уже можно заботиться.

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is killing the web. Bots are writing text for other bots to read, wasting electricity and contributing to our downfall. The faster this bubble bursts, the better. I’m intent on helping it into the abyss. This is my Butlerian Jihad.

So what’s the alternative?

Link aggregators that allow people voting, with federation to allow for different communities to form, and moderation to prevent vandalism, hate-speech, spam and trolls. And then search there.
