|
<p>Erlang is one of the languages in my "to learn" list and having a "by example" |
|
site really helps -- at least, it helps me a lot with Rust.</p> |
|
<h2 id="the-6-most-common-accessibility-problems-and-how-to-fix-them"><a href="https://blog.scottlogic.com/2020/07/02/6-most-common-accessibility-problems.html">The 6 Most Common Accessibility Problems (and How to Fix Them)</a></h2> |
|
<p>Accessibility is always import. And knowing that there is something akin to |
|
OWASP (common web application insecurities) that puts a list of common |
|
problems is always good. And, on top of that, having a list of easy to fix |
|
problems is even better.</p> |

<h2 id="parsing-city-of-origin-destination-city-from-a-string"><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59956670/parsing-city-of-origin-destination-city-from-a-string">Parsing city of origin / destination city from a string</a></h2> |
|
<p>Although the answer is quite long and not "Just use X", this is the kind of |
|
answer StackOverflow should aim for: Even if the question seems absurd, there |
|
is a long explanation on how to do it, every step and problems on every step, |
|
till the point of "it's not that simple".</p> |
|
<h2 id="against-testing"><a href="https://flak.tedunangst.com/post/against-testing">against testing</a></h2> |
|
<p>Someone took my words about testing and took it waaaay too far.</p> |
|
<p>Sure, testing everything feels wrong, but you can see things are wrong when |
|
someone says "Tests are very brittle, breaking due to entirely innocuous |
|
changes in the code". Here is the problem: You're a fucking moron if that |
|
happens; you're testing the <em>implementation</em> not the <em>behavior</em>. So sure, it |
|
will be brittle 'cause you wrote the whole thing wrong.</p> |
|
<p>That is one of the points I really don't like the so called "unit test" -- as |
|
in "testing every function". Behaviour is not contained in a function, but it |
|
appears when functions interact. That's why integration tests feel more |
|
"right" to me: We ignore how things were implemented and focus on how the |
|
system should behave.</p> |
|
<p>So yeah, testing is wrong and you may dislike it, specially when you writing |
|
it wrong in the first place.</p> |
|
<h2 id="coping-with-flexbox"><a href="https://kgrz.io/coping-with-flexbox.html">Coping with flexbox</a></h2> |
|
<p>Flexbox is in all rage these days in web development, mostly 'cause it fix the |
|
damn "Center this vertically and horizontally". And this kind of explanation, |
|
going through the basics, is always welcome.</p> |
|
<h2 id="httpserver-h-single-header-library-for-writing-non-blocking-http-servers-in-c"><a href="https://github.com/jeremycw/httpserver.h">httpserver.h: Single header library for writing non-blocking HTTP servers in C</a></h2> |
|
<p>One of the weird things about C is that there is a lot you can do with it, |
|
including a single file for building a whole HTTP server.</p> |
|
<h2 id="my-car-does-not-start-when-i-buy-vanilla-ice-cream-said-a-man-to-general-motors"><a href="https://www.digitalrepublik.com/digital-marketing-newsletter/2015/05/10/my-car-does-not-start-when-i-buy-vanilla-ice-cream-said-a-man-to-general-motors/">"My Car does not start when I buy Vanilla Ice Cream", said a Man to General Motors.</a></h2> |
|
<p>I'm a sucked for this kind of story: Things don't work because some weird |
|
random, seemingly unrelated event.</p> |
|
<p>It reminds me of the story "My password doesn't work when I'm standing up".</p> |
