Resume for 2017: I ran about 1000km, lost 38kg, gained some muscles and had a lot of fun while trying to achieve this. A good year. 👍

Wow. According to https://mjtsai.com/blog/2017/11/27/the-cost-of-javascript/ about 50% of the top 500 websites take up to 14 seconds to „get interactive” with 4s alone spend for parsing and compiling JS. That's insane.

I noticed a new behavior
I noticed a new behavior. I lost 37kg in 6 months, and now, as I have finished losing weight, every time I eat above my calories I feel guilty. Yesterday I ate about 50 kcal over my need for that day, and I thought about an hour if I should go for another walk just to get rid of that surplus.
Although my goal is to gain some muscle weight (which means I have to have a caloric surplus) I am still in that „eat less!“ mindset. That’s an interesting new behavior for me.

I ordered the Apple Watch Series 3. While it is a lot of money for a silly watch (the most I spent on watches before the Apple Watch was about 80€ for a G-Shock) I noticed that my Series 0 watch is my most used Apple device over the last three years. I use it every day, mainly for activity tracking during sports and for calorie counting. The fitness marketing totally worked on me. I’m even excited for the new device 😝

Gap buffers as the reason not to use multiple cursors?
In reply to http://nullprogram.com/blog/2017/09/07/
Chris Wellons writes in this article about gap buffers and their performance indications when using multiple-cursors.el. He states that because of the technical implementation of changes in Emacs as gap buffers things like
multiple-cursors.elare a performance hit and thus should not be used. Instead one should use search & replace as well as macros.I totally disagree. Performance is nothing I should be molested with as a user. When I choose to use a tool I look at the mental overhead it adds. Will it disturb my workflow? How much thought do I have to invest to use it properly? How much thought is necessary to solve my editing problems?
Macros, for example, add a lot of mental overhead. I have to be aware of many things: I have to ensure that the cursor is at a defined position before executing it (often done with a movement to the beginning of the line), I have to ensure that cursor movements are reproducible in the different contexts, etc, pp. It totally disturbs me in what I am doing right now.
Search & replace on the other hand add a bit of complexity, but much less than macros. The biggest difference is that I can’t see my changes before executing the replace.
This is fixed when using multiple cursors: I instantly see my changes and can adopt them, e.g. in case of typos. Also more complex edits are possible since all cursor movements are done on all cursors.
I just don’t care about the performance. Make it fast enough that I don’t get annoyed by lag, that’s good enough for me.

This FSFE campain is pretty neat: public money, public code. Basically it says that all software developed with public money should be FLOSS. I signed it and you should consider signing it, too.

The fallacies of web application performance http://blog.plataformatec.com.br/2017/07/the-fallacies-of-web-application-performance/
José Valim, inventor of Elixir, wrote an interesting blog post about the fallacies of web application performance. He writes about some common misunderstandings on this topic, including my favorite one: performance is only a production concern. Hint: it isn’t!

Choosing Elixir for the code, not for the performance https://pragtob.wordpress.com/2017/07/26/choosing-elixir-for-the-code-not-the-performance/
I stumbled upon an interesting article about choosing Elixir for the (healthiness) of the code and not because auf performance reasons.
While I agree that performance alone is a bad reason to choose a tech stack I still think that performance is important. On the other hand expressiveness and effectiveness of the language are important as well. He makes a pretty good case.

The best Firefox ever https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/06/13/faster-better-firefox/
Although I’m not a Firefox user these days I have to say I’m impressed by their last release. After years of ignorance followed by years of „we’re not that slow really“ they finally got noticeably faster. It feels much less sluggy and websites which were slow on the older releases now feel much more responsive. Kudos!

When you search the web on mobile…
In reply to https://jeena.net/notes/865
When you search the web on mobile the top search results are always AMP… this is at least true for news articles. I noticed that a few months ago, sadly.

Kill Google AMP before it KILLS the web! https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/19/open_source_insider_google_amp_bad_bad_bad/
The register writes about why AMP is bad for the open web.
So it’s not really about speed. As with anything that eschews standards for its own modified version thereof, it’s about lock-in.
I couldn’t agree more.

Running 10km routes again
I’m really happy that I can run 10km routes again. I had to stop running a few years ago because of shin splints.
Since about February(?) I go regularly (three times a week) to the gym and do some strength training and jog about 20 minutes. At the same time I started jogging again, first with small routes (about 4km), then longer routes (8km), first slow then faster. It seems that I avoided shin splints for now despites running three times a week outside and three times a week on the treadmill (only 20 minutes to warm up).

„Everything is broken“ https://danluu.com/everything-is-broken/
Recently I read a very interesting (and for me: entertaining) article by Dan Luu titled „everything is broken“:
If I had to guess, I’d say I probably work around hundreds of bugs in an average week, and thousands in a bad week. It’s not unusual for me to run into a hundred new bugs in a single week.
This is basically a list of errors and bugs he finds during a week. Go read it - software quality matters!

Be aware, this is Enterprise grade hardware, it needs a controller to work.
In reply to https://jeena.net/notes/824
Be aware, this is Enterprise grade hardware, it needs a controller to work. The controller can be installed on any computer you own (there is a version for the three major OS), but this controller software has to run when you want to use the wifi.

The ScanSnap ix500 was for sure a really good invest. I scan every mail I receive and put the original into a file. I put the file onto the attic at the end of the year and done. If I need a document I just send the scanned version.
