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)

If it is worth keeping, save it in Markdown

p.migdal.pl/blog/2025/02/markdown-saves

I like the idea, but my laziness makes me avoid any non-automatic methods. I’d prefer a format similar to Mycomarkup or Markdown, but with built-in support for embedding images and other binary content, turning a web article into a single file. I’m aware of data: images in Markdown, but they’re not very convenient to use.

How I ship projects at big tech companies | sean goedecke

seangoedecke.com/how-to-ship
  • Shipping is really hard and you have to make it your main priority

  • Shipping doesn’t mean deploying code, it means making your leadership team happy

  • You need your leadership team to trust you in order to ship

  • Most of the essential technical work is in anticipating problems and creating fallback plans

  • Scale back your implementation work as you approach launch so you’re free to jump on last-minute problems

  • You should constantly ask yourself “can I ship right this second?”

Throw Out Your Black Plastic Spatula

www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2024/10/black-plastic-spatula-flame-retardants/680452

It’s probably leaching chemicals into your cooking oil.
Replacing a black plastic spatula with a steel or silicone option is an easy way to cut down on at least part of one’s daily dose of hormone disruptors

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.

Как на самом деле запоминать всё, что прочитал

fedorovpishet.ru/kak-na-samom-dele-zapominat-vsyo-chto-prochital
  • Приложения для сбора хайлайтов из статей и книг не помогают запоминать прочитанное

  • Для того, чтобы запоминать прочитанное не нужна хорошая память

  • Лучший способ запомнить прочитанное — понять то, что ты прочитал

  • Чтобы на самом деле понять прочитанное, нужно приложить усилия

  • Объясняй другим идеи, чтобы лучше понимать и запоминать их

  • Заведи блог

  • Участвуй в сетевых дискуссиях

  • Откажись от автоматизации

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.

Симметричная индексация в Python

habr.com/ru/articles/818479

По сути, выражение s[~i] эквивалентно выражениям s[-i - 1] и s[len(s) - i - 1], однако является более красивым и компактным вариантом записи.

Enlightenmentware

mmapped.blog/posts/28-enlightenmentware.html

unix is user-friendly—it’s just choosy about who its friends are.

I even have it [Windows] installed on my gaming pc so that I can buy games I never play.

It is easy to shoot your foot off with git, but also easy to revert to a previous foot and merge it with your current leg.
