Legacy Commentary
[2026-03-18 Wed 07:16] Update and context
From August 2022 until July 2023, I used to note some internet content in what I called "commentary". Eventually, it developed to a website, a blog, diary, and all what we have in hands now. #Programming
I decided today to get this page back here, just for the historical purpose.
Click to hide dates Click to display datesBecause why not? I will not contribute to an awesome-prototype github repo anyways. side-note I usually archive (on the WaybackMachine) anything that I might think I will read again, so if you encounter with any broken url, check it on the WaybackMachine. Another side-note I'm adding posts in an ascending order (first are newest).
- How GO Was Created - Less Is More "I do not think people who love rust could go to another language they're kind of sucked into rusthole" lmao. (2023/07/24)
- Keep Linux Open and Free!!!! Oracle Dunks on IBM kek. (2023/07/12)
- The Most Efficient Struct Configuration Pattern For Go. It's actually very
useful pattern to use. I've used it a lot in Go, it was inspired to me from
Lisp (I can tell that is one of the most common patterns in Lisp). I was
thinking today if it will be possible to have a fantastic control-statement
function in Go like Lisp's
IF. (2023/06/30) - The Rust programming language absolutely positively sucks. I like the fact that they published it in r/rust. (2023/06/22)
- Prompt Engineering is The New C++ (2023/06/19)
- A Tale of Unwanted Disruption: My Week Without Amazon. Smart housing is one of the worst ideas that we have been through so far. Just as bad as thinking in the 90s that people in the next millennium would execute programs that they don't know how they are implemented. (2023/06/19)
- Robot taxi killed dog Is rms' comment very irrelevant? (2023/06/18)
Editor/IDE Tier List "I've never met someone who used emacs that I'm not just impressed with". Okay he fixed it right away. (2023/06/13)
- Editor/IDE Tier List "I never opened it I never used it there was only that weird guy at work who uses it". This way to describe emacs hits me hard actually. (2023/06/13)
- Interview with an Emacs Enthusiast in 2023 [Colorized]. "- So you are going to treat it as a text buffer? - I treat my whole life as a text buffer" lol. (2023/06/11)
- I hate almost all software. Totally agree. This industry is just horrible. (2023/06/06)
- drag gets all fucked to fuck when you click and drag and release outside of the slider shit · Issue #1631 · nolimits4web/swiper. This is how we handle technical documentation for bugs, ladies and gentlemen. (2023/06/06)
- Israeli agents conducted targeted killings in West Bank, killing a child. I've studied some propaganda modules years ago that explained me much of what I'm seeing in the mass media, yet it is never enough to make you see what is going behind the scene that would make the washingtonpost publish such a report. (2023/05/30)
- If Fight Club Was. (2023/05/30)
- The Stack Overflow Survey. "I did do crystalmeth but that's different than crystal" this actually hits hard if you know that theprimeagen is an ex-crystalmeth addict. (2023/05/23)
- DirectorZ333. Found this fan youtube channel today, seems that they used to make nice music videos for their favorite songs a decade ago. It's sad how such things being buried forever. (2023/05/20)
- Episode 01: The Great Idea of Wisdom (2023/05/20)
- Go job interview questions. Software industry is going always into worse and worse situation due to its dim hiring process. (2023/05/19)
- Vim vs Emacs | Prime Reacts. "Those who run terminal emulator inside of their text editor have already screwed up" lmao. (2023/05/19)
- Hero's journey - Wikipedia. I was much younger when I read Campell's "The hero with a thousand faces" for the first time. My thoughts now towards psychoanalyses are much developed compared to then, yet they are not decisive. I think I'm going to reread it to have more definitive view of psychoanalysis. (2023/05/19)
- Why can't I land a job : cscareerquestions. "challenging challenges". Btw, let me put my opinion on language models here too. I don't think they are bad in general but in fact they solve only one problem; the bureaucratic writings. You can ask it to write you any useless load of "scalable", "ascendable" or whatever words the HR will be happy seeing while checking your resume. (2023/05/16)
- Writing academic papers with org-mode. A thorough explanation. I feel confidence when I see this kind of intuition of teleportation; the explained workflow is very similar to what I've been doing, however I thought that what I'm doing is special workflow of mine. (2023/05/12)
- Olympian frames: Frederic, Lord Leighton. (2023/05/06)
- Poetry of Catullus — Wikipedia Republished // WIKI 2. (2023/05/05)

Poetry time! Go proverbs as limericks
There once was a programmer named Joe Who loved coding in Go, don't you know? He found it quite neat With concurrency sweet And a syntax that was oh so low-key
With goroutines running in parallel His code ran faster than a serial He could handle many tasks With ease and with panache Thanks to Go's ability to scale.
So if you want your code to be lean And run faster than you've ever seen Give Go a try And watch your code fly And see what it can do for your machine

- Embedding WebKit in Emacs: XWidgets+WebKit Feature Preview Seems very
interesting. I used to think it's a hopeless technological when I tried it
with
M-x xwidget-webkit-browse-url, damn it I don't want even to remember. However I recently tried akirakyle/emacs-webkit and it rocks, I've been thinking of replacing chromium with it. Now, XWidgets seems very promising to me. I wish I had some free time to develop great things with it. (2022/11/04) (2022/12/19) - Three reasons YouTube loves #shorts (2022/09/20)
