Hmm, named failing at start on one of the secondaries: need to investigate this further

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/24

I was not too happy that this just happened after updating one of the DNS secondaries:

It’s in fact a manifestation of [Archive.isBug 1040027 – bind (named): fails to start since the introduction of namespaced openSSL packages

A fix is in the pipeline at [Archice.isRequest 496968 – openSUSE Build Service

However, that fix never made it to Raspberry Pi B (the original Rasberry Pi 1B) because that is armv6l and the bind build for that has failed early April 2017.

That’s now in [Archive.isBug 1040697 – bind fails building for armv6l since 20170401 causing bugfixes not to make it to the wild.

No, no, no, noooooo! – A Modern Hungarian Notation – Pixplicity

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/24

Some people still don’t get it:

We like to keep our code organized for readability, and use Hungarian Notation as prefixes where they clarify the purpose of a variable.

Source: A Modern Hungarian Notation – Pixplicity

My opinion on this:

  • Don’t abbreviate. There is code completion for a reason.
  • Put technical meanings at the end and functional meanings at the start of identifiers: software development is about functional stuff, not about technical stuff as the latter changes way faster than the former.
  • You might consider using prefixes for arguments, local variables, instance variables and such, but often that works against you while refactoring stuff.

Been there, done that (;

Source: Boy, there sure is a lot of discussion about Hungarian Notation!
