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!

You can have a very time efficient set implementation with two uninitialized arrays. It's not space efficient though.

Post Collapse Computing Part 1: The Crisis is Here – Space and Meaning

blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2022/08/24/post-collapse-computing-1

Tetralogy. The climate catastrophe is two years away (just by the time I'll finish the bachelor degree).

To save the planet, actions are needed. They are not done.

Also, further parts of the series talk about software.

if we fail to mitigate the climate crisis, we’re headed for a world where it’s expensive or impossible to get new hardware, where electrical power is scarce, internet access is not the norm, and cloud services don’t exist anymore or are largely inaccessible due to lack of internet.

Doing Things That Scale – Space and Meaning

blogs.gnome.org/tbernard/2020/01/17/doing-things-that-scale

Tobias told us about his past with a very elaborate riced Arch Linux config. Now he's a GNOME developer, who knows that it's better to contribute a better icon to the app than to update an icon theme; to use fish instead of zsh with a big config; etc. In general, invest time into things that scale.

I like his little remark towards the static site. I dislike his little remark towards self-hosting, although I see where he's coming from.

Under the Radar #267: Don't Run Servers - Relay FM

www.relay.fm/radar/267

Два аёс-разработчика говорят, что если можно сделать продукт, не поднимая сервер, лучше так и сделать, особенно учитывая какие прекрасные возможности для программиста дают современные яблочные устройства. Синхронизация через яклаўд, производительность до дурного высокая и всё такое.

Я, конечно, не аёс-разработчик, но могу обратить внимание на то, что у меня ваще всё с сервером. А ведь Бетулу можно было бы и без него! Но на самом деле получилось бы хуже, ведь мне не один айфон поддерживать, а как минимум андроид и мак, которыми я пользуюсь.

Подкаст можете не слушать, я за вас послушал.

Unit Test Fetish

Unit tests are not a panacea. End-to-end tests are often much more useful. Some things cannot be tested at all. Think before testing.

Иной айтишник нет-нет да пожалуется на разбиение строк по 80 символов. Считаю нужным прояснить ситуацию.

Гришаев говорит глупости, чтобы оправдать ограничение длины строк. Справедливости ради, он не цепляется именно за 80, но идеи дурные, конечно.

Digital encoding. Legacy software. Evolution.

250bpm.com/blog:89

We’ve finally got to the point in the software world where no big changes are possible. Every change breaks something, introduces backward incompatibilities and so on. More are more we are going to live in the world where software mutates gradually, advancing is small steps without much plan and intelligent design. Similarly to how organisms are dragged by natural selection, it is going to be propelled in unknown direction without asking us whether we like it or not.

The software industry is reaching the stage where it cannot be revolutionized heavily, it is to evolve like the living ones. It is not necessarily good.

I don't want to go to Chel-C

applied-langua.ge/posts/i-dont-want-to-go-to-chel-c.html

A classic rant on uxn and programming. Uxn is done for.

Uxn says it's about permacomputing and vintage computing, the author of the article says it's not and proves it.

The author insists on a relation to permacomputing. Their page on permacomputing describes frugal computing and salvage computing as principles of permacomputing, defining them as "utilizing computational resources as finite and precious, to be utilised only when necessary, and as effectively as possible", and "utilizing only already available computational resources, to be limited by that which is already produced." The author is part of a collective that wanted to replace all the "bloated" software they used, due to having little energy storage on their sailboat. Using software design techniques to reduce power usage, and to allow continued use of old computers is a good idea, but the uxn machine has quite the opposite effect, due to inefficient implementations and a poorly designed virtual machine, which does not lend itself to writing an efficient implementation easily.

Devine then mentioned it, and a discussion followed.
