## [Spotify Most streamed track of the day by Country](https://www.worldspotify.com/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Curious about which song is the most played on Spotify on each country?

## [My favourite Git commit](https://dhwthompson.com/2019/my-favourite-git-commit)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A huge text for a simple one character change? Sure, why not?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have to agree with the point being made here, although the result is a bit
|
|
|
|
|
too large for my taste: Write commit messages that explain why some change
|
|
|
|
|
had to be done, what other options where presented, and why the actual
|
|
|
|
|
solution was taken.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And that's how a proper commit message should be done.

## [An Introduction to Apache Airflow](https://bhavaniravi.com/blog/apache-airflow-introduction)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have been hearign about Airflow for awhile, but what the heck it is, what it
|
|
|
|
|
does and things like that was something I didn't know about.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But Airflow is a data processing (ETL) framework in Python, where each task is
|
|
|
|
|
defined in isolation and combined afterwards in an acyclic graph.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And it is in Python.

## [Binding Emacs](https://degruchy.org/2020/05/26/binding-emacs/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A practical guide on using Emacs keybinds.

## [Contributing to Rust](https://blog.elinvynia.com/posts/2020-05-26-contributing-to-rust.html)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Although focused on the Rust project, this is a very good personal experience
|
|
|
|
|
report in contributing to open source project -- in this case, a compiler. But
|
|
|
|
|
instead of jumping directly into code, it all started with a simple
|
|
|
|
|
documentation change.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The key points here are, basically: Start simple, get your feet wet and things
|
|
|
|
|
just will start rolling.

## [Choosing a Self-Hosted Git Service](https://www.paritybit.ca/blog/choosing-a-self-hosted-git-service)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Git != Github or Gitlab. Github and Gitlab are frontends to Git and, if you
|
|
|
|
|
wish, you could run a different interface on your domain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other optiosn presented here are: Cogs, Gitea, SourceHut, Phabricator,
|
|
|
|
|
Gitolite, Gitweb and cgit. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses and they
|
|
|
|
|
are explored here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I use cgit on [my repository](https://git.juliobiason.me/), although I'd
|
|
|
|
|
prefer to run something that generate static pages instead of something
|
|
|
|
|
dynamic -- I don't do that many commits that would require rendering
|
|
|
|
|
everything every time.

## [Personal Wiki for Vim](https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Did you know that you can have a personal wiki using just Vim? With this
|
|
|
|
|
plugin, you can keep your data locally, without the need to install anything
|
|
|
|
|
else (besides the plugin, that is) -- and people who like Emacs forgive me,
|
|
|
|
|
but the format is simpler than Org-Mode (even if Org-Mode does a lot more
|
|
|
|
|
stuff).

## [Stop Blogging on Medium if You Care about SEO](https://pawelurbanek.com/medium-blogging-platform-seo)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I don't freaking care about SEO -- honestly, SEO is the cherry on the top of
|
|
|
|
|
the shit cake the internet has become -- but there are two points here that
|
|
|
|
|
you must pay attention: "Login wall for free articles" and "Hidden costs of
|
|
|
|
|
publishing on Medium" 'cause they tell you two things:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Medium charges people for reading content on their site and
|
|
|
|
|
- _You_ provide the content.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So you're, basically, the one generating income for Medium. Heck, even
|
|
|
|
|
WordPress.com has a free tier with no paywall.

## [Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2020](https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
StackOverflow did a survey last year to find out which languages developers
|
|
|
|
|
are using, if they like it, how much they get paid, that kind of stuff.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And now, finally, the results are out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PS: Rust is the most loved language for the 5th year in a row.
|
|
|
|

## [Stack overflow developer survey removes Clojure](https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/gs3y4e/stack_overflow_developer_survey_removes_clojure/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
... but not everything are flowers. The Clojure subreddit found that Clojure
|
|
|
|
|
was not listed and even if they could fill the form with their own value,
|
|
|
|
|
Clojure still didn't even appear in the results.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not only that, but on our Rust group someone asked why there were no Rust
|
|
|
|
|
libraries and frameworks on the list (Serde is _wildly_ used) and after that I
|
|
|
|
|
noticed that Glib also wasn't in the options -- and who the heck is crazy enough to
|
|
|
|
|
work in C (which appears in the language list) without Glib these days?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So yeah, the list is nice, but feels a lot incomplete in these days.
