   Thanks! That being said, I just played around with it for a few days. Some people praise it, after having gone through a few years on and off: > I wasn’t convinced right away. It took a few years. But after the usual stumbling around and frustration, I began to realize that this language was the easiest, most elegant, least imposing language I had ever used – and not by a small margin. https://blog.cleancoder.com/un…

   Of 545 commits, 193 mention "fix" or "fixed" or "bug". That is 35.4%, quite high, compared to 10 large C projects I analyzed in 2019, which have a median of 25%. That could mean file systems are hard to create, or that this particular one is buggy. https://danuker.go.ro/frequency-of-bugfix-commits.html Edit: looks like it's a problem with other file systems also: https://github.com/pellepl/spiffs - 40.2% https://git…

    In my opinion, the caveat on the article is very apt: Clean Code teaches rules, not principles. If you read it with a critical mind you'll get a lot of it, if you follow it blindly you'll get a lot of bad habits. Unfortunately programmers need some experience to be able to do it. IMO the same caveat applies to Clean Architecture: it is study material to architects, rather than something you can copy-paste into a new…

    I suppose the "Eureka" moments were more impressive when Lisp started getting adopted (when the alternatives were to manage your own memory and even routines were not an object). But it still has better compactness than Python, in my comparison full of caveats. https://danuker.go.ro/programming-languages.html#overall-map What Python needs 350-400 chars for, you can do in 250-300 in Lisp or Clojure.

    Believe it or not, reducing your temperatures by 10 degrees Celsius would increase the life of your CPU by roughly [79%]( https://danuker.go.ro/caring-for-your-hardware.html ). Perhaps this digs into sales of new chips, which is why it's so hard to do. I made a different sacrifice - that of frequency. I vastly reduce temperature cycling by [disabling TurboBoost]( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CPU_frequency_sc…

    If you used the raw model, without any smoothing, it still predicted the $50k price correctly. I think the smoothing gave too much weight to S2F and not enough to plain time. But I am really curious what will happen after 2024. That is when S2F really diverges from a plain time power-law. https://danuker.go.ro/bitcoin-price-predictions.html

    For what it's worth, my take on it is that you should extract whatever bits of pure functions you can find in the 1000-line ones. This would help testing and understanding. You can test and understand the parts independently, and only have to test the huge function in order to check that the parts are attached correctly. https://rhodesmill.org/brandon/talks/#hoist https://danuker.go.ro/the-grand-unified-theory-of-so…

    Some of my impressions from when Romania joined EU: - Old communist mines have closed due to environmental regulation. This is good, but it is regulation. - Food must now be strictly labeled. Again good, but more regulation. For instance, milk has strict packaging regulations and can no longer be sold easily in farmer's markets. This drove the price up. - Public infrastructure must meet certain standards in order to…

    The reason I might find Mathematica interesting is its language, which I found to be on my popularity-brevity Pareto frontier. https://danuker.go.ro/programming-languages.html#non-math-ma... So, it can express an average Rosetta Code non-math task in ~180 bytes, compared to Python, ~270, or Java, ~420. I guess this is because of its vast libraries of "batteries included". Where it all falls apart is sharing. Nobody…
