Delimiter-first code

arogozhnikov.github.io/2022/11/29/delimiter-comes-first.html

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

After reading Blue Period, Nina got inspired and invested time into learning how to draw, following guidelines from a book. She shared her learnings from the journey. Very inspiring! Can I draw? Should I learn how to?

Tiger Style

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.

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.

Harmonic Table Keyboard Brings Old Idea Back To Life

The layout provides easier chord and scale patterns, and for beginner musicians it can have a much shallower learning curve than other types of instruments.
