Tiger Style

github.com/tigerbeetle/tigerbeetle/blob/a43f2205f5335cb8f56d6e8bfcc6b2d99a4fc4a4/docs/TIGER_STYLE.md

Our design goals are safety, performance, and developer experience. In that order.

Contrary to popular belief, simplicity is also not the first attempt but the hardest revision

code, like steel, is less expensive to change while it's hot.

Safety

NASA's Power of Ten — Rules for Developing Safety Critical Code

  • Use only very simple, explicit control flow for clarity.

  • Put a limit on everything. Fail Fast

  • Assertions detect programmer errors. The only correct way to handle corrupt code is to crash.

  • Assertions are a safety net, not a substitute for human understanding.

    • Build a precise mental model of the code first.

    • encode your understanding in the form of assertions,

    • write the code and comments to explain and justify the mental model to your reviewer,

    • and use VOPR as the final line of defense, to find bugs in your and reviewer's understanding of code.

  • No memory may be dynamically allocated (or freed and reallocated) after initialization.

  • Declare variables at the smallest possible scope, and minimize the number of variables in scope.

  • Good function shape is often the inverse of an hourglass: a few parameters, a simple return type, and a lot of meaty logic between the braces.

  • Centralize control flow. When splitting a large function, try to keep all switch/if statements in the "parent" function, and move non-branchy logic fragments to helper functions.

  • Centralize state manipulation. Let the parent function keep all relevant state in local variables, and use helpers to compute what needs to change, rather than applying the change directly.

Developer Experience

  • Add units or qualifiers to variable names, and put the units or qualifiers last, sorted by descending significance. latency_ms_max rather than max_latency_ms.

  • Callbacks go last in the list of parameters.

  • Order matters for readability (even if it doesn't affect semantics). On the first read, a file is read top-down, so put important things near the top. The main function goes first.

  • Don't overload names with multiple meanings that are context-dependent.

Nekoweb - free static website hosting service

nekoweb.org

Social media is too limiting. We believe that everyone should be able to freely express themselves in their own little corner of the web, without having to worry about things like algorithms, tracking, or advertisements.
Nekoweb is free of any advertisements, and is run completely by donations from its users.

Синтаксис Лиспа

grishaev.me/lisp-syntax

У скобочной записи есть преимущество: каждое выражение имеет начало и конец. Не обязательно писать на Лиспе, но нужно знать эту его сторону. Чтобы не выглядеть глупо, не хихикать и не прыскать в кулачок, когда случится увидеть Лисп.

Why you need a "WTF Notebook"

WTF Notebook gives me a place to park the impulse to fix it now, damn it! until I have more context for deciding what to work on first. Instead, for two weeks, I just write things down.

A Society That Lost Focus

ploum.net/2024-03-18-lost-focus.html

Simply do the math. If you have 180 friends on Facebook, which seems to be a low amount those days, if your friends take, on average, 10 days of vacation per year, you will have, on average, five friends on vacation every day. Add to this statistic that some people like to re-post pictures of old vacations and it means that you will be bombarded daily by pictures of sunny beaches and beautiful landscapes while you are waiting under neon light for your next boring meeting in a gray office. By design, Facebook makes you feel miserable.

Our mind, not the technology, is the bottleneck. We need to care about our minds. To dedicate time to think slowly and deeply.
