This is a collection of random thoughts regarding the application of permacultural ideas to the computer world.

A holistic approach to computing and sustainability inspired from permaculture. Permacomputing is about using computation only when it has a strengthening effect on ecosystems.

Gemini is a new internet technology supporting an electronic library of interconnected text documents. Gemini isn't about innovation or disruption, it's about providing some respite for those who feel the internet has been disrupted enough already. We are out to build a lightweight online space where documents are just documents, in the interests of every reader's privacy, attention and bandwidth.

TL;DR В статье рассказывается о том, как мне удалось перевести чтение лент в ВКонтакте, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit и почтовых рассылок в единый сервис InoReader. Причем почти без написания своих велосипедов

Однажды в конце декабря, когда воздух пахнет сгорающими над городом фейерверками, а улицы полны паникующих из-за цен на горошек, я решил научить программированию бомжа...
Фрустрация от когнитивной сложности — это то самое неприятное чувство, которое возникает, когда не можешь разобраться в какой-то запутанной фигне. В результате для любого человека процесс программирования переполнен страданием. Нормальный человек боль не любит и прогать бросает

Я согласен с тем, что логику нужно разносить по сервисам. Но сервисы должны использовать общую шину данных: базу, очередь сообщений, файлы в S3 в конце концов. Гонять друг другу JSON выглядит хорошо в теории, но на практике — фу.

Условный Постгрес выплюнет миллион записей за доли секунды. Забрать этот же миллион из другого сервиса — приключение на неделю. Тут и метрики, лимиты, квоты, сетевые спайки, etc… А когда таких запросов несколько, сервис ложится спать.

Personal goals are generally expected to happen later.
The reason it’s hard to get going on personal goals is that you’re already using all of your time. No matter who you are, you’re already using all 24 hours, every day, for something. Because this will always be true, goals that happen at all must happen now, while you still don’t yet have time.
Basically, you learn to work in small, uniform parcels of time. They’re short, timer-bound, and unwaveringly focused on a particular outcome. Most importantly, they can fit into real life, as it already is.

When perpetual avoidance is allowed, this familiarity never develops, and the kryptonite effect entrenches itself. The activity in question, however innocuous to everyone else, seems to wither your power and confidence whenever you get too close. Only by getting close despite the effect, and experiencing what dancing, algebra, or working with puff pastry is all about — rather than simply reacting to your old, scorned-outsider’s thoughts about it — can you neutralize the effect.

If you can't decide between two applications, pick the one with less input lag.
