Instant Supercompute: Launching Wolfram Compute Services

writings.stephenwolfram.com/2025/12/instant-supercompute-launching-wolfram-compute-services

Wolfram language never cease to amaze me with how it manages to introduce mind-blowing features that are not possible everywhere else without introducing any syntax. In today's episode: wrap a resource-intensive computation in this function, and it'll magically happen on our enchanted cloud computers; there will be an email notification. Truly awesome. Sometimes I envy scientists because they have a reason to use tools like Wolfram.

CSS Classes considered harmful

www.keithcirkel.co.uk/css-classes-considered-harmful

The solution to all of these problems

I humbly put forward that modern web development provides us all the utilities to move away from class names and implement something much more robust, with some fairly straightforward changes:

Attributes

Attributes allow us to parameterise a component using a key-value representation, very similar to Map<string, T>. Browsers come with a wealth of selector functions to parse the values of an attribute.

markdown's strengths and weaknesses

nytpu.com/gemlog/2022-01-30

I've noticed an article from 2022 with an interesting title and of course read it. Good points there.

What surprised me, is that the article mentioned... Me? An old forgotten Tanelorn post? What am I? Some world-renowned Markdown critic? It might be so.

P. S. Wrote more here: https://merveilles.town/@bouncepaw/114644651367835534

Measure execution time in Go (Golang)

gosamples.dev/measure-time

A good snippet. I used it at work.

func track(name string) func() {
    start := time.Now()
    return func() {
        log.Printf("%s, execution time %s\n", name, time.Since(start))
    }
}

func main() {
    defer track("main")() // do not forget about the second parentheses
    time.Sleep(2 * time.Second)
}

HTML attributes vs DOM properties

They're completely different, but often coupled.

EditorConfig

editorconfig.org

EditorConfig helps maintain consistent coding styles for multiple developers working on the same project across various editors and IDEs. The EditorConfig project consists of a file format for defining coding styles and a collection of text editor plugins that enable editors to read the file format and adhere to defined styles. EditorConfig files are easily readable and they work nicely with version control systems.

Static typing isn’t free. Where do you think the C++ angry mob comes from?

wordsandbuttons.online/static_typing_isnt_free.html

C++ has a built-in logic deduction engine. It's not free, it's like a second program you are writing alongside the main one.

Internet russe, l'exception qui vient de loin

www.monde-diplomatique.fr/2017/08/LIMONIER/57798

La Russie est en effet l’un des seuls pays à disposer d’un écosystème presque complet de plates-formes et de services indépendants de ceux de la Silicon Valley, fondés par des Russes et régis par le droit russe.

The Wrong Abstraction — Sandi Metz

sandimetz.com/blog/2016/1/20/the-wrong-abstraction

Some abstractions are wrong. To get rid of them, inline them, rip the unneeded stuff, and forget about the abstraction. I want to rip an abstraction like that!
