Writing clojure code by hand on a Remarkable, it gets executed

A long dismissive text about how kids, and people in general, don't know how to “use computers”. Overall, the author is right, they really don't know, but instead of approaching the topic on how to make computing more accessible, he takes pride in his knowledge (that most people lack), and tells the folks what to do (along the lines of forcing your children to learn programming).

He also mentions how Microsoft lobbied the idea of Microsoft Office being computing itself to British schools. Well, it's the same in Russia, and not just in school. For many, using MS Office is the most important skill. I never understood that. It's a very niche tool, no?! And it's very hard to use, I still only know the very basics of office suites.

Mysteries to revel in.

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.

То, что западноевропейским ученым запрещают выступать на конференциях в России безусловно огорчает, но более всего настораживает их на это реакция.

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.

Может, вы сидели и думали, что в Осло нет трамваев. А они есть!

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.

Rendering text, how hard could it be? As it turns out, incredibly hard! To my knowledge, literally no system renders text “perfectly”. It’s all best-effort, although some efforts are more important than others.
