Perkeep is your personal storage system for life.

perkeep.org

Things Perkeep believes:

  • Your data is entirely under your control

  • Open Source

  • Paranoid about privacy, everything private by default

  • No SPOF: don't rely on any single party (including yourself)

  • Your data should be alive in 80 years, especially if you are

While Perkeep can store files like a traditional filesystem (think: “directories”, “files”, “filenames”), it’s specialized in storing higher-level objects, which can represent anything. (photos, likes, tweets, measurements etc)

The blissful zen of a good side project

joshcollinsworth.com/blog/the-blissful-zen-of-a-good-side-project

It doesn’t matter what the project is; it matters that it is.

You don’t need to know where it’s going to lead. For that matter, it doesn’t have to lead anywhere. Nothing ever has to come of it. It’s ok if this project never even exists, as far as anyone else is concerned. Failure isn’t failure; it’s part of the process. It’s done when you’re done with it.

So whatever your side project is: I encourage you to pick it up, and let that part of you exist (again).

Cognitive load

minds.md/zakirullin/cognitive

The best components are those that provide powerful functionality yet have simple interface.

Do not add layers of abstractions for the sake of an architecture. Add them whenever you need an extension point that is justified for practical reasons.

Ускорение роутера в Django в 51 раз

habr.com/ru/companies/tochka/articles/822431

Хитрым и условно бесплатным методом мы ускорили флоу каждого запроса на 150+ мкс. Формально — это малозаметная цифра, однако она является чистейшей CPU-нагрузкой, и на каждые 10000 запросов экономит 1,5 секунды процессорного времени, что для компьютера является десятью вечностями. Мелочь, а приятно.

Немного советов, как это использовать
1. Some coding...
2. Увидеть запрос в БД на 10 секунд и понять, что это всё было зря.
3. Плакать.

Jonas Hvid's notes

Author with cool visual style

He also uses Betula - https://links.johv.dk

For better or worse, I sometimes think. I have heard that I therefore am, but I’m unconvinced. Nevertheless, sometimes I write my thoughts down. Mostly just in my diary, but other times I publish them on the Web. This notebook contains those of my writings that are in a state somewhere between published and private.

The creepy sound of online trackers

axbom.com/the-creepy-sound-of-online-trackers

I can't get the noise out of my head. People who watch the video express awe and disgust. And that is why Dutch software developer Bert Hubert's experiment is so powerful. It doesn't really uncover something that we shouldn't already know. Something we often choose to ignore. The brilliance is

How I write tests in Go

blog.verygoodsoftwarenotvirus.ru/posts/testing-in-go

In many other languages, you have to not only evaluate testing libraries, but also write your tests in a style that complies with that library’s expectations. Gophers are blessed to have a thoroughly adequate solution out-of-the-box, and even further blessed to have an active ecosystem where folks are making in-depth testing a walk in the park.

The Starship or the Canoe: Where Will Our Future Adaptations Be? - Cal Alumni Association

alumni.berkeley.edu/california-magazine/summer-2017-adaptation/starship-or-canoe-where-will-our-future-adaptations-be

Прекрасная статья о выборе человечества - покинуть планету с её проблемами или остаться и решать их? Обратиться к корням - природе, ручному труду или отвергнуть прошлое и адаптироваться к жестокому космосу?
Как сказал Курт Воннегут: "What makes you think you’re going anywhere?"
Подобные Дайсонам, в моей душе борются отец и сын, правда скорее поменявшись ролями. Тянуться к недостижимому космосу, к неизведанным и от того прекрасным технологиям с их бесконечными проблемами? Или обратить внимание на верную спутницу человека - прекрасную Землю и, возможно, обрести покой в отказе от амбиций?
