Tell me you don’t understand software without literally using those words!!!

Demonstrating the basics of logic programming with data from the Pokémon games.

If you set out to build a local-first application that users have complete control and ownership over, you need something to solve data sync.

Dropbox and other file-sync services, while very basic, offer enough to implement it in a simple but working way.

Sure, it won’t be as real-time as a custom solution, but it’s still better for casual syncs. Think Apple Photos: only your own photos, not real-time, but you know they will be everywhere by the end of the day. And that’s good enough!

Imagine if Obsidian Sync was just “put your files in the folder” and it would give you conflict-free sync? For free? Forever? Just bring your own cloud?

I’d say it sounds pretty good.

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.

A new generation of collaborative software that allows users to retain ownership of their data.

While other applications on the system threw up errors (“offline! warning!”) and blocked the user from working, the local-first prototypes function normally regardless of network status

package src

type config struct {
    // Required
    foo, bar string

    // Optional
    fizz, bazz int
}

// Each optional configuration attribute will have its own public method
func (c *config) WithFizz(fizz int) *config {
    c.fizz = fizz
    return c
}

func (c *config) WithBazz(bazz int) *config {
    c.bazz = bazz
    return c
}

// This only accepts the required options as params
func NewConfig(foo, bar string) *config {
    // First fill in the options with default values
    return &config{foo, bar, 10, 100}
}

func Do(c *config) {}

You’d use the API as follows:

package main

import ".../src"

func main() {
    // Initialize the struct with only the required options and then chain
    // the option methods to update the optional configuration attributes
    c := src.NewConfig("hello", "world").WithFizz(0).WithBazz(42)
    src.Do(c)
}

Almost all mattresses should not be flipped — instead they should be rotated 180° so the foot of the mattress is now at the head.

Бывает, проблему можно поправить функцией или макросом, но в код тянут библиотеку. Или можно купить готовое решение, но тимлид говорит: мы напишем свое через три месяца. Или разработчик насмотрелся видосов со свежей конфы и хочет проверить чужие идеи.
