How exactly does sakura help you?
- Just drop it in, even on existing HTML content, to get a pretty-looking website (everything “just works”)
- Quick prototyping, especially when working on backend sites and can’t yet be bothered to fidget with CSS/HTML
- Building a quick (but pretty) site/blog for your best friend or aunt!
- No need to remember tons of different class names for every other CSS framework
- Works amazingly with markdown-generated HTML pages (eliminates the need for hacks like including .img img-responsive in <img></img> tags generated from markdown-parser
- Wonderful for people who aren’t really good or interested in design as sakura is nothing but a set of reasonable defaults

I argue for wider usage of delimiter-first in the code. three friends [tic, tac, toe] becomes three friends ・tic ・tac ・toe.

At an intellectual level, the key to building this infrastructure is to structure, streamline and automate everything as much as possible—while recognizing both what’s realistic with current technology, and what fits with me personally.

A Genealogy of Technology and Power Since 1500

Very detailed visualisation of technology, science and culture that lead to the current state of world.

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.

Heavy use of shortcuts, has unique concept of blocks with different types (i actually like it a lot). Blocks can have type of code (and can be formatted). In Math blocks lines are evaluated as expressions with results at the end. Can execute golang code.

EditorConfig helps maintain consistent coding styles for multiple developers working on the same project across various editors and IDEs. The EditorConfig project consists of a file format for defining coding styles and a collection of text editor plugins that enable editors to read the file format and adhere to defined styles. EditorConfig files are easily readable and they work nicely with version control systems.

Set in Tokyo’s Suginami-ku neighbourhood, home to many manga artists, Open Sky House is home to artists and architect Zajirogh, his wife, and their three children. Having always dreamed of living in a camper or a ship, Zaijrogh designed a large central open-air courtyard and covered it with a retractable sail-like sheet. The family uses the courtyard as a living room which is furnished with camping furniture that can get wet or be moved quickly if needed. A series of colourful walls line the courtyard, with precious items that need to stay dry kept behind a set of glass and steel sliding doors with another set connecting to the fully equipped L-shaped kitchen. The second story features space for the family to sleep, work and play and includes a 1sqm (small closet-sized) study that Zajirogh refers to as “his little sanctuary”. A door leading onto the balcony wraps around the open roof, this provides access to open and close the roof as well as an area for Zajirogh to paint freely without concern about mess.
