Open Source Software and Publications by Christian Kruse
This page contains random thoughts and impressions by me.
I have to admit: I’m bored. Due to the „stay at home“ policy and most of the things being closed I need a new side project. Something which gives me the opportunity to learn Rust would be nice. Has anybody a good idea?
18:59You know this day will be great if it begins with a compiler bug 🎉
06:39It’s fascinating to see how Intel has one PR desaster after the other and still manages to earn record high revenues
12:00Note to myself: UPDATE tbl SET foo = fun(id) in a trigger is a bad idea 😜
TIL: in Emacs you can persist the helm-rg result list with M-b. This opens a persistent buffer with the list of search results.
A repost of https://maffulli.net/2019/10/17/why-richard-stallman-doesnt-matter/
Too many people have joined the chorus of cacophonous conversations online about booting Richard Stallman from the free software movement. They claim that his social behavior has prevented more people from joining. There are conspiracy theories claiming a hit job by an evil corp. The point that everybody misses is that Stallman’s views on software don’t matter anymore.
A very interesting article about how the views of the FSF and Stallman completely ignore the essential problems in IT and society in current day and age.

28km with an altitude of 333 meters 😍
11:38Today was may first race ever. 28km in 02:09:08, a pace of 04:34 per kilometer. I had a lot of fun 😍
11:36I hereby declare a new disease: recommendation fatigue.
07:19Whoever thought it would be a good idea to use email as a second factor should be punished. And whoever thought it would be a good idea to use email as a second factor and let the code be only valid for five minutes should be punished even more.
07:17Halfway to the second exercise for the chest and I am already feeling sore 😂

Whether you’re coming to Haskell from another language, or if you’re interested in writing programs that, y’know, actually do things, participating in the Haskell community can feel like you’re a second class citizen. […] If you’ve already learned another language, you can learn Haskell. And even if you haven’t, learning Haskell is no harder than learning any other programming language.
My experience when learning Haskell was that it is a really hard language to learn. A lot of very foreign concepts with a lot of foreign words.
But in hindsight it wasn’t that hard; the documentation I tried to learn with was just not very good.
14:12I registered for the Steinhart 500 (28km) a few days ago. I learned that I start with the seniors 😂
To be honest: I’m a bit nervous. My start number is 2042.

15:56auch ein grund, warum sich sehr wenige frauen für DIY & heimautomatisierung interessieren, ist wahrscheinlich der altherrenhumor der männer die sich damit beschäftigen und drüber schreiben.
Pretty accurate but also a bitter pill to swallow
07:24Back to work again… welcome back, beloved treadmill
07:19Get your shit together day 2019: ✅ done

Make mondays great again!
10:38Today I learned: you can specify a binding position in an Ecto query via parameter:
def apply_some_filter(query, binding_position, field_name) do
from([{rel, binding_position}] in query, where: field(rel, ^field_name) == "foo")
endThis works thanks to pattern matching 😍
12:53I’m glad I used Ansible for deploying my servers a few years ago. This allowed me to move my current setup to a new Digital Ocean droplet with minimal effort. Just a few changes due to new system versions. 🎉
15:57Stop Scrolling Facebook! A pretty nice talk by Tantek Çelik about taking back the web.
06:43It’s fascinating to see how Rammstein still manages to create controversy and attention, even though they are in the business that long. First there „Deutschland“ video, where a lot of mainstream media weren’t able to see the criticism on German history and called fascism. And now „Radio,“ a homage to the German band „Kraftwerk,“ a nostalgic view back on DDR history and, again, criticism on German history. And again all media is reporting.
Well done, Rammstein! 👍
06:26Public service announcement: Math.max(...[]) returns -Infinity - took me about an hour of debugging to locate this problem.
Currently I am working on a TypeScript project. During this project I wanted to give the TypeScript compiler the hint that I expect a class object as a parameter. I couldn’t find something in the documentation. But since you can use expressions as type declaration I tried to use typeof:
class Bar {}
function foo(val: typeof Bar) {}
foo(Bar)Surprisingly this works. Now after I knew what I had to look for I could find a hint in the documentation as well:
Next, we then use the class directly. Here we create a new variable called greeterMaker. This variable will hold the class itself, or said another way its constructor function. Here we use typeof Greeter, that is “give me the type of the Greeter class itself” rather than the instance type.
Maybe this saves you a few headaches.
09:23From What I have learned working 1 year full-time using Elixir:
I do not get why don’t we all just write Erlang programs. You can write them, walk away for 20 years and they will be still up and running. Pure joy.
I can relate 😁
06:26Mein Freund Marc veranstaltet am 19.09.2018 eine Schulung Meine Barrierefreie Website in Köln. Wenn ihr in der Gegend seit: das ist etwas, das sich durchaus lohnt. Der Marc weiß, wovon er spricht.
06:04EmacsCast: A journey into Emacs is a podcast of a programmer diving into Emacs. While I didn’t listen to it, yet, I thought I should share it because there is not very much Emacs content out there. In the first episode he introduces hilself and explains why he, as a SublimeText user, dives into Emacs.
Enjoy!
14:29After a pause of 14 days it is surprisingly easy to get back into running. 17,8km in 01:21:33, 04:35 per km 🏃
14:09The day starts bad with bad milk in my coffee. Buärghs.
05:21This is the reason why I use org-mode. If I imagine that I would get locked in like that with my notes I get the creeps…

Just thought the same this week 🤔 Will try to do that, too… especially blogging should have a revival.
11:03It’s one of those days where I want to throw away ten years old code and just rewrite it…
07:27Avengers: Infinity War ★★★★★
09:29Quick tip: use gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface show-battery-percentage true to show the battery percentage.
Todays goal: clipping the rest of the hedges
05:56Elixir: Do you have HTTP Requests? You are doing them wrong! is, despite the clickbaity title, a nice comparison of HTTP libraries in Elixir. Good read!
06:25Go: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly is an interesting article about the pros and cons about the Go programming language.
06:12Fuck yeah! Just hit 100kg deadlift 🏋️♀️
12:56I hate running in the winter. The first 15 minutes it‘s fucking cold. Then up until about 10km its warm enough. Then for the rest of the run it is cold again. ❄️
10:40I have started to work with React during the last few months. I have to say, I am really impressed how well everything works and how easy it is to create good, working UIs with it.
07:51I understand now why so many users hate Windows 10… doing some support for relatives, fuck, this is unbearable. Windows seems to get worse every release.
20:17Current status: BEAMing due to working with Erlang and Elixir (get it? Get it? BEAMing!)

I’m actually so jealous. I definitely want to attend FOSDEM again
