There's roughly two ways I've acquired skills in programming languages in the past: the "hard" way for writing code (e.g., "Learn Python the Hard Way"), and the "easy" way for learning to read a new programming language by skimming the language specs or leafing through a book on the topic (e.g., "The Supercollider Book").
I suppose there's a third way now for me: Reading up on software architecture design (e.g., stuff like "500 lines or less"), so that co-creation skills with large language models are improved?
For example, Yoav Rubin's article on "An Archaeology-Inspired Database" in 500 lines or less really made me think about Clojure in a new way.
Thoughts on this?

I think it might be fundamentally important to note that #scale is not what hyperscalers and longtermists say it is. Software is great at scale. Practitioners who work closely with software are pretty good at it too. Business plans and people who assume scale means “this thing I think I know, only bigger” are *terrible* at it.

#Software peeps: do you still do box diagrams to work out how your structures will sit in memory?
#Lisp

A section of a design document I am working on, comprising text surrounding a box diagram. The text is:

In the beginning was the Word

My intention is that memory will be considered as an array of 64 bit words.

Each word may be considered as

1. a cons cell: two instances of object32, each having one mark bit, three tag bits and 28 payload bits;

2. a single object64, having one mark bit, seven tag bits, and 56 payload bits.

Note that, for any word, the first four bits comprise the mark and …

Two days ago, I had eight (out of one hundred and forty) unit tests failing, and I wasn't happy with my code. Last night, I had forty failing, and I thought things were improving. This morning I have one hundred and twenty four failing, so I *know* I'm on the right path!

Just noticed one of my favorite pieces of software ever had a big update after more than 5 years: the #Rockbox media player software! #iPod color, of course, but later on an old #Android phone, a #FiiO M3K and today on a #Surfans F20! Honestly it just can't be beat, software wise, for a media player. 🧵1/2

Is Apple going Adobe?
Say it isn't so!
Update:
It looks like they have gone to subscription model to access the “Pro” apps (FCP, Motion, Logic, Mainstage, Compressor, Pixelmator)
But the original “iWork" apps are still free. Pages, Keynote, Numbers (and by extension iMovie though it is not included in the "Creator Studio” presumably because it ships with every Mac)
That said... and yes... this is how they get you… the annual subscription for everything is "only” $180/yr or $18/mo plus Family Sharing privleges.
That goes down to $40/yr and $4/mo if you do the Educational license, but no family provisions.
