The Color Theory Behind Industrial Seafoam Green

Pretty pictures! Reminds of Merveilles' seafoam green and of Soviet half-wall-tall colouring. Due to the latter, this colour also bears additional doomer connotations.

I wonder if this colour could work well in computer UIs? Does it work the same on glowing screens?

A - The task requirements and goals might not be clear enough. If you are trying to get yourself to “plan for a project” or “write a book” then it’s hard to identify the next actionable items. Put some time aside to figure out what physical things you can do to move the project forward. Try break down the larger tasks into the smallest pieces possible. The goal of the project might need identifying, or the requirements fleshed out from a supervisor.

B - The task might exceed your current competency. Sometimes we know what we have to do, but don’t know how to do it, and then we become avoidant rather than admitting this. In this case, it’s worth figuring out what you do know how to do and what you don’t know how to do, and be honest with that. Then slowly ask for help or read up on the things you don’t know.

C - The tasks might really not be worth it. Sometimes you are assigned tasks that don’t actually help you achieve your long-term goals, and so your brain demotivate you from doing them. Maybe the payoff is low, maybe you don’t learn anything new from them, or maybe a colleague you don’t like will gain credit for the tasks, or maybe you just wont be rewarded or appreciated for getting the tasks done.

This brief highlights key statistics on men’s health. Men face significant health challenges, including shorter life expectancies, high suicide rates, and substantial losses due to drug overdoses and COVID-19. Despite these issues, there aren’t many public health goals that target men, and only one male-specific preventive measure is covered by the ACA. These facts underscore the need for focused attention on men’s health.

Functions that are part of your project’s source code but can never be
reached in any execution are called “dead code”, and they exert a drag
on codebase maintenance efforts.
Today we’re pleased to share a tool named deadcode to help you identify them.

GQL is a query language with a syntax very similar to SQL with a tiny engine to perform queries on .git files instance of database files, the engine executes the query on the fly without the need to create database files or convert .git files into any other format, note that all Keywords in GQL are case-insensitive similar to SQL.

If you want a single piece of advice to reduce your bug count, it’s this:
Re-read your code frequently. After writing a few lines of code (3 to 6 lines, a short block within a function), re-read them. That habit will save you more time than any other simple change you can make.

Рич Хикки рассказывает о различиях простоты и лёгкости в контексте проектирования и написания программ.

Говорит, что многие выбирают лёгкость, забывая про простоту. Со временем комплексность превращается во что-то такое, что сложно поддерживать и в чём сложно разобраться новичкам.

Нужно стремиться искать лёгкие способы делать простые программы.

Cycling is the most sustainable form of transportation, but the bicycle is becoming increasingly damaging to the environment. The energy and material used for its production go up while its life expectancy decreases.

OK, your program works. You've tested everything in sight. It's time to ship it. So you make a release version.

And the world crumbles to dust.

You get memory access failures, dialogs don't come up, controls don't work, results come out incorrectly, or any or all of the above. Plus a few more problems that are specific to your application.

Now what?

That's what this essay is all about.
