One factor in favor of the use of LLM as a learning tool is the poor quality of documentation. It seems we've forgotten how to write usable explanations that help readers to build …

The idea of tensors as "a matrix of numbers" or the example of a cube with vectors on every face never clicked for me. It was this (NASA paper)[ https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/N…

Math and Physics equations are full of beauty capable of transmit the same joy as poetry. The main difficulty is that they require more study. For me, looking at Maxwell equations …

My same thoughts. The inventors of that revolutionary toggle button should all be tied to the South side of an ass walking towards the North.

The alternative, using general programming languages, is a terrible idea. The last thing I want to do when dealing with a domain specific configuration is trying to figure the mean…

For one moment I thought this was the equivalent of SQLite for EdgeDB and the idea made me very happy.

I think parent comment (by @sebzim4500) is the clearest most concise summary of the argument stated in the article.

I think we never get over animism completely, like this old Ikea Lamp ad shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBqhIVyfsRg

May I suggest you to take another look at refactoring? I think that if you love unit testing and debugging, you probably would love refactoring too. I like that I don't have to wor…

The best part is the last lines: If we pay attention to the legend then we'll have to accept that in Earth is one less dog and in heavens one more star

(The C4 model)[ https://c4model.com/ ] is a nice way to capture (IMO) the most important characteristics of a system, and you can learn it in half an hour. Optionally, you can add …

asdf is very nice, with the exception of its interface. You have `asdf `, `asdf ` for others. It's actively hostile for memorisation.

Mine was that I had forgotten to take a class or that the records were lost and I had to redo the last years of college. It was a nightmare I had even a decade after getting my deg…

I've been reading The Courage To Be Disliked” about Adler's theories, and it's very interesting. According to him, we all have feelings of inferiority. It's normal and could even b…

GitOps not necessarily means developers should define every aspect of it. In my current work, SRE uses gitops and they are the main contributors to most repositories. But things li…

No. In my current company k8s + helm + istio + argocd + good support from SRE/infra team has made things pleasurable. Seniors introduce the complexities of the system to juniors in…

https://www.libelektra.org/home is an attempt to bring a registry to linux. It doesn't have the problems of its windows equivalent. I wish this project was more popular.

The thing that helped me the most to design maintainable systems was the use of Clean Architecture. In particular, the [Cosmic Python Book]( https://www.cosmicpython.com/ ), which …

I was lucky and that was also the first thing I learned about programming (with the amazing 80's "The Home Computer Course" magazine). I still remember the first program I read: 10…

My interpretation of UT has evolved after I began using Clean Architecture. My original approach was to test functions and methods, which had as a consequence the calcification of …

If your type system or log formatter is turing-complete, it can be exploited to do arbitrary unintended things.
