OK, now I end up in a Cloud Flare error page: Bad gateway.

Did they just re-design their website and removed the login button? I cannot find it, and I'd like to access the eBooks I paid money for. Are they running some A/B tests and I'm ke…

In the context of version control, some formatting rules work better than others.

Maybe for the next project; together with Haskell.

I haven't read it, nor do I own it, but "Algorithm Design with Haskell" might fit: https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/algorithm-design-with-h...

One issue I have with CLRS is that array indices usually start at 1, but sometimes they use 0, because it works better in that particular case. Some functions I used in Erlang (lis…

> Python has some functional capabilities, but in my experiences with Python devs, those are little used and even shunned. I like to use things like filter, map, reduce or list com…

One pattern I noticed in the workplace: People are mocking things like LISP, Haskell, or Erlang, but get a hard-on when their bread language (e.g. Python) introduces new syntax for…

I hereby publicly announce that I use Arch Linux. I really do so for more than five years now, and I'm not thinking about switching. OK, maybe to OpenBSD for a change now and then.…

Brad Fitzpatrick stated in one of his talks, that a version of Go coming with generics will be called 2.0 eventually. Maybe they do the version jump if there are backward-incompati…

Is this some kind of C--? scnr

When I read Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" in school, I mentioned to my teacher that the investigator reminds me of Columbo. I only remember my teacher answering me, that Colu…

Glad to see that I'm not the only one thinking this way.

If you are immunocompromised, you're not only vulnerable to COVID-19, but to a plethora of other viruses going around all the time.

It's not about health, it's about being considered a high-IQ person by Paul Graham, who'd like to only have vaccinated people at conferences: https://twitter.com/paulg/status/13595…

Getting a vaccination just for "the points" looks like a bad idea to me, because "the health" should be the only point to be considered.

When you read the entire section of the book, Martin claims that those tests main purpose is to serve as a normative documentation. The developer can read the test case and then fi…

This (my) little rant is of course hyperbolic, but I tried to make two points: 1. The actual specification is sometimes better reflected by the implementation than by some test cas…

Ironically, our company started using Codecov as a measure to improve security. I don't know how far a high code coverage correlates to a secure code base, but the security inciden…
