BlueMap is a program that reads your Minecraft world files and generates not only a map, but also 3D-models of the whole surface.
With the web-app you then can look at those in your browser and basically view the world as if you were ingame!
Or just look at it from far away to get an overview.

TL;DR: totally not SSD nor flash. Maybe HDD if you migrate them in time. Some special discs are recommended. Optical... joyful.

Platypus is a developer tool that creates native Mac applications from command line scripts such as shell scripts or Python, Perl, Ruby, Tcl, JavaScript and PHP programs. This is done by wrapping the script in a macOS application bundle along with an app binary that runs the script.

Some of Stephen Wolfram’s “productivity hacks” to make his days and projects more productive. Daily life, desk environment, outside the office, presentation setup, filesystem organization, Wolfram Notebook systems, databases, personal analytics.

I especially like the treadmill.

Avoid these things:

• Asking the developer how things should work: It’s your responsibility to know how a feature should work; if you don’t, how can you test it?

• Reporting bugs outside of the ticket: Avoid informal bug discussions, as they waste time for you and your team.

• Using vague phrases like “This does not work properly”: ‘Properly’ is unclear—specify exactly what’s wrong.

PostgREST is a standalone web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API. The structural constraints and permissions in the database determine the API endpoints and operations.

Sounds like a way to write less code. I skimmed through the reference, looks cool. PostgREST is written in Haskell for some reason though.

Если код работает, это не значит, что задачу пора закрывать. От двадцати минут, потраченных сверху, вреда не будет — прод не сгорит, менеджер подождет. Зато спасет день коллеги, который вкатывается в проект.

People have different names for the colors they see. Language can affect how we memorize and name colors. This is a color naming test designed to measure your personal blue-green boundary.

Вот еще одна иллюстрация на тему «психология гавно». Увидел в 2024 году в инстаграме психолога, борющегося с «когнитивными искажениями» и утверждающего, что фундаментальная ошибка атрибуции — это «Самая Тупая Ошибка Мышления».

In many other languages, you have to not only evaluate testing libraries, but also write your tests in a style that complies with that library’s expectations. Gophers are blessed to have a thoroughly adequate solution out-of-the-box, and even further blessed to have an active ecosystem where folks are making in-depth testing a walk in the park.

Few people know how to use computers.

Minimizing your keyboard layout is a slippery slope.
34-keys has been reasonably comfortable to use, for both prose and program. My palms do not move across the desk at all, as I reach for keys. I mostly write Rust and Bash, and my layout has evolved to accomodate special characters from their grammars (angled brackets and hyphens, specifically). If you are on a similar journey, I would suggest focusing on accuracy and comfort over speed. Speed comes with time.
