<p>I know I posted something like this recently, but I feel this list is a bit
|
||
|
|
more complete.</p>

<h2 id="getting-started-with-rust-by-building-a-tiny-markdown-compiler"><a href="https://jesselawson.org/rust/getting-started-with-rust-by-building-a-tiny-markdown-compiler/">Getting Started with Rust by Building a Tiny Markdown Compiler</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>A good introduction to Rust. I really like how things that are interesting but
|
||
|
|
could get in the way of learning the language are collapsed and just if you
|
||
|
|
really want to know what they are talking about, you can expand it.</p>

<h2 id="mark-zuckerberg-and-priscilla-chan-s-800-000-donation-to-their-8-favorite-restaurants-is-like-the-median-us-family-giving-13-cents-to-each"><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-priscilla-chan-800000-donation-restaurants-us-family-equivalent-2020-5">Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan's $800,000 donation to their 8 favorite restaurants is like the median US family giving 13 cents to each</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Let's rant a bit, shall we?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>There are a lot of news about billionaires helping small business or people,
|
||
|
|
sharing some expressive amount of money.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>But then, when you check how much they are "helping", it is just some really
|
||
|
|
small drop of everything they had.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>On the other hand, it's not like Zuckerberg had $76.3 billion on his bank
|
||
|
|
account (or pocket). It's based on the value of Facebook (the company) and the
|
||
|
|
Zuckerberg stock.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>So, saying "Rich person shared a huge load of money" is wrong, as is "it's
|
||
|
|
just peanuts" is also wrong -- although I must reckon the first is more wrong
|
||
|
|
than the second.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2 id="facebook-employees-may-face-pay-cut-if-they-move-to-cheaper-areas-to-work-from-home"><a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/facebook-employees-may-face-pay-cut-if-they-move-to-cheaper-areas-to-work-from-home-2020-05-21">Facebook employees may face pay cut if they move to cheaper areas to work from home</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>And just to put some more perspective into what Zuckerberg does, here is
|
||
|
|
another facet: Due COVID, Facebook allowed workers to work from home, but now
|
||
|
|
comes the warning: Just because you're working from home, you can't just take
|
||
|
|
your salary to a cheaper place. You must suffer, SUFFER!</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Ok, I may have gotten over my head on that.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>But there are a bunch of things you can take from this: You're not allowed to
|
||
|
|
improve your life while not taking more from the company; cheaper places
|
||
|
|
should mean cheaper payment; and on, and on.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Dunno what Zuckerberg idea is behind this (except maybe make more money).</p>

<h2 id="why-european-universities-are-choosing-open-source-software"><a href="https://opensource.com/article/20/5/open-source-higher-education">Why European universities are choosing open source software</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>This is actually good news. When I was on Uni, one of the problems I faced was
|
||
|
|
the incongruent idea that you need some specific software to do your
|
||
|
|
homework, but those were paid, closed source options and, thus, the only
|
||
|
|
option was to either stay at uni (something really hard when you have to work
|
||
|
|
to pay for it) or pirate it.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Now, honestly, that's the "free as in beer" part of the "free software" (which
|
||
|
|
is not actually true, but it happens), but in the long run, I guess people
|
||
|
|
learning to code can also gather more accustomed to having the source around,
|
||
|
|
and maybe even used to see how things works.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2 id="it-s-ok-for-your-open-source-library-to-be-a-bit-shitty"><a href="https://www.drmaciver.com/2015/04/its-ok-for-your-open-source-library-to-be-a-bit-shitty/">It’s OK for your open source library to be a bit shitty</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>That's one of the things most developers still are afraid of: You're working
|
||
|
|
on an open source license, but you fear into making it available everywhere
|
||
|
|
'cause "it's not perfect".</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>There are reasons to keep an open source content not available yet: You're
|
||
|
|
working through licenses and copyrights. Apart from that, you can really
|
||
|
|
released a version that is not up to scratch, 'cause showing what it is -- and
|
||
|
|
update as necessary -- is way more impressive than releasing a perfect version
|
||
|
|
in the first shot.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>One of the things that really caught my eye here is the idea that, when doing
|
||
|
|
some graphical design, people go to sketches and mockups instead of jumping
|
||
|
|
directly into the final design. And doing documentation (and emails, for that
|
||
|
|
matter) we need some sort of "sketches" for it.</p>

<h2 id="the-culture-war-in-open-source-is-on"><a href="https://modelviewculture.com/pieces/the-culture-war-in-open-source-is-on">The Culture War in Open Source is On</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Oh boy, here we go again...</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Yes yes, there is something going inside the open source culture: Stallman was
|
||
|
|
forced out of the FSF and Eric Raymond was kicked out of OSI maillist.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>But here is the thing: Even if Stallman started the GNU project and kick
|
||
|
|
started the whole free software movement, he also saw no problem in underage
|
||
|
|
girls with older men, only changing position days before being kicked out of
|
||
|
|
the FSF board; Eric Raymond may have written "The Cathedral and the Bazaar",
|
||
|
|
but also became a gun nut, claimed gay men are, basically, paedophiles and
|
||
|
|
that a cop shooting a suspicious black man is not racism, but self defense --
|
||
|
|
and nobody found it weird when he mentioned "black man" and not simply "man"?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Open source and free software won. There is a lot more people coming in the
|
||
|
|
movement than before, and showing that people are welcomed here is the point.
|
||
|
|
When people are actually damaging the image of the movement, they are not
|
||
|
|
helping.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>On another note, I remember that in early 2000s, we were already discussing
|
||
|
|
how Raymond's attitudes and opinions were actually harmful to the ecosystem.
|
||
|
|
That was more than 20 years ago, and it seems he didn't change a bit. Good
|
||
|
|
riddance.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Honestly, the "war" we have is simply "You may be a cool, technical person,
|
||
|
|
but your shitty attitude won't be allowed here anymore."</p>

<h2 id="constructive-vs-predicative-data"><a href="https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/constructive/">Constructive vs Predicative Data</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>I really like this kind of posts, which explores how information could be
|
||
|
|
accidentally wrong, while a different approach can prevent a wrong state.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2 id="to-get-a-better-programming-job-explain-your-problem-solving-skills"><a href="https://codewithoutrules.com/2020/05/18/job-search-skills/">To get a better programming job, explain your problem-solving skills</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>You know, there is something deeper here than it seems.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The interviews I did on bigger companies, I didn't feel they were trying to
|
||
|
|
find the way I solved problems; they were looking if I knew the answer right
|
||
|
|
away.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>So, one can see the title in two ways: Either you can get a better programming
|
||
|
|
job by showing your problem solving skills OR better jobs want to see your
|
||
|
|
problem solving skills (poor jobs do not).</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>More people should read posts like this. I had to deal a lot with pull
|
||
|
|
requests with no information whatsoever about what was being done. Worse,
|
||
|
|
sometimes, the title of the pull requests was actually the branch name.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>I used Dokuwiki a long time ago, and even then the interface felt a bit
|
||
|
|
outdated. Now there is some pretty theme for it -- although I'm not sure I'm
|
||
|
|
in need to Dokuwiki at this point.</p>

<h2 id="things-i-hate-about-rust"><a href="https://blog.yossarian.net/2020/05/20/Things-I-hate-about-rust">Things I hate about Rust</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Sure, no language is perfect and ranting about the wrong things is a way to
|
||
|
|
improve it, but some points are actually without merit.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For example, complaining about Rust multiple string types: I understand the
|
||
|
|
problem with <code>&str</code> and <code>String</code>, but <code>OsString</code> has a reason to exist --
|
||
|
|
operating systems that are UTF-8 while their filesystem is not. So how do you
|
||
|
|
deal with it? You make everything UTF-8 and let the filesystem create stupidly
|
||
|
|
named files?</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>That's one thing I do really bad: I don't know how to sell myself. I just hope
|
||
|
|
this blog -- and opinions, and technical posts and even stupid ideas -- can
|
||
|
|
serve as a way to do it so.</p>

<p>I've been seeing a lot of those patterns recently. There is one missing bit,

though: How do we get rid of them?</p>

<h2 id="some-zshrc-tricks"><a href="https://www.arp242.net/zshrc.html">Some zshrc tricks</a></h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>I may have switched to ZShell recently, so this kind of post is actually
|
||
|
|
pretty damn useful.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>... but the thing that caught my eye was the way to put aliases for
|
||
|
|
directories, which helps a lot in getting to the right place, but I'm using
|
||
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/wdullaer/scotty">Scotty</a> and that makes something like
|
||
|
|
that somewhat useless.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>Ah, that's one thing I have been missing: Global ignores. That would allow me
|
||
|
|
to ignore VIM swap files on every project at once.</p>

|
||
|
|
<p>Far from ruining my day, but I also found this really... curious, to put
|
||
|
|
mildly.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>But lacking a internal monologue may also explain why some people don't
|
||
|
|
like books -- the dialogues may be a bit missing, and it may be hard to follow
|
||
|
|
the story.</p>
