Must read: [Wayback/Archive.is] The Oxymoron of “Data-Driven Innovation” – Chelsea Troy
My summary retweet:
[Archive.is] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Building for marginalised groups not only broadens your user base, but actually makes your product better for majority groups as well and increases the value of your product and your profits.… “
Do go read it, as there are so many insights in it. Basically data-driven innovation will get you on the wrong side of the 80/20 rule. Better optimise for the 20% of the Pareto Principle.
This goes for any product development, be it software, hardware, services or otherwise.

An interesting thread by Kristian Köhntopp last year:
[Archive.is] Kristian Köhntopp on Twitter: “Python: >>> print(1+2+” = “+2+1) Traceback (most recent call last): File “”, line 1, in TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: ‘int’ and ‘str’ Java: System.out.println(1+2+” = “+1+2); 3=12”
The examples from him and others in the thread:
Python: >>> print(1+2+" = "+2+1) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str' Java: System.out.println(1+2+" = "+1+2); 3=12 php8.1 -r 'print 1+2+" = "+2+1;' PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Unsupported operand types: int + string in Command line code:1 Stack trace: #0 {main} thrown in Command line code on line 1 php7.3 -r 'print 1+2+" = "+2+1;' PHP Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in Command line code on line 1 Node? Chrome & FF dev console: window.alert(1+2+" = "+1+2) 3 = 12 Sind ja immerhin verschiedene Sprachen. SELECT Wert1 FROM table1 WHERE Wert1 < AVG(Wert1); DB2 vs. Oracle vs. MSSQL vs. ....
The joke is that Python actually does better than Java.
But in practice, this is a problem on many platforms, so it deserves constant attention, that’s why Kristian pointed to [Archive] Anna “Legacy Archaeologist” Filina on Twitter: “My annotated slides “Fantastic Bugs and How to Avoid Them” from @LonghornPHP: #LonghornPHP”
[Wayback/Archive] Fantastic Bugs and How to Avoid Them – Speaker Deck
I’ve expanded the examples from the thread below. The results are interesting and consistent over versions of the various languages.

[Wayback/Archive.is] viatsko/awesome-vscode: 🎨 A curated list of delightful VS Code packages and resources.
It is a long and very readable categorised list of Visual Studio extensions and resourced often with small screencasts or screenshots.
The README in the repository is easier to read than the official site a [Wayback/Archive.is] awesome-vscode | 🎨 A curated list of delightful VS Code packages and resources. (as somehow there not all markdown rendered nicely).
Many other awesome lists can be found via [Wayback/Archive.is] sindresorhus/awesome: 😎 Awesome lists about all kinds of interesting topics.

On my list of Visual Studio Code extensions to try (after I change the shortcuts, as direct Alt shortcuts are not a good idea, luckily those are configurable)
[Wayback/Archive.is] HTML / XML / RSS link checker – Visual Studio Marketplace (partly paraphrased):
VSCode extension that checks for broken links in an HTML, XML, RSS, PHP, or Markdown file.
…
Checks currently open file:
- for broken links in anchor-href, link-href, img-src, and script-src tags in currently-open HTML or PHP file
- both clearnet and onion (Tor) links
- for badly-formatted mailto links, and duplicate local anchors (anchor-name, anchor-id)
- for working HTTPS equivalents of HTTP links
Optionally checks for invalid characters and common mistakes (missing tag content, empty attribute value, more).
Also checks for errors in a small subset of semantic HTML tags (in HTML and PHP files): checks that each page has header, main, footer; checks that each heading is inside a section, article, or aside; checks that each section/article/aside has exactly one heading in it; checks that heading values are nested properly.
…
To see/change settings for this extension, open Settings (
Ctrl+,) / Extensions / “HTML / XML / RSS link checker”.To change the key-combinations for this extension, open File / Preferences / Keyboard Shortcuts and search for Alt+H or Alt+T or Alt+M or Alt+L.

I wrote about Visual Studio Code: blazingly fast text expansion with Emmet in september.
Another productivity extension that is on my list is [Wayback/Archive.is] Tabnine – Code Faster with the All-Language AI Assistant for Code Completion, autocomplete JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, PHP, Go, Java, node.js, Ruby, C/C++, HTML/CSS, C#, Rust, SQL, Bash, Kotlin, R – Visual Studio Marketplace.
The first thing I thought of when reading this is “oh, wasn’t this the GitHub open source AI code completion plugin controverse in mid 2021?”. It wasn’t. See links below.

If you ever come across git hanging after completing “Resolving deltas: 100%“, then remember this can still happen with recent git versions; the below output was with git version 2.24.1.windows.2.
C:\bin>git clone https://wiert@gitlab.com/wiert.me/private/Windows/bin.git Cloning into 'bin'... remote: Enumerating objects: 74, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (74/74), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (54/54), done. remote: Total 1063 (delta 30), reused 39 (delta 15) Receiving objects: 100% (1063/1063), 26.74 MiB | 516.00 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (385/385), done.
or (after pressing Ctrl-C):
C:\bin>git clone https://wiert@gitlab.com/wiert.me/private/Windows/bin.git Cloning into 'bin'... remote: Enumerating objects: 74, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (74/74), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (54/54), done. remote: Total 1063 (delta 30), reused 39 (delta 15) Receiving objects: 100% (1063/1063), 26.74 MiB | 516.00 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (385/385), done. fatal: index-pack failed
Sometimes this is as easy as waiting until the remote system comes to its senses. In this case, waiting some 8 hours resolved it:
C:\bin>git clone https://wiert@gitlab.com/wiert.me/private/Windows/bin.git C:\bin>git clone https://wiert@gitlab.com/wiert.me/private/Windows/bin.git Cloning into 'bin'... remote: Enumerating objects: 74, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (74/74), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (54/54), done. remote: Total 1063 (delta 30), reused 39 (delta 15) Receiving objects: 100% (1063/1063), 26.74 MiB | 748.00 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (385/385), done.
In my case this worked, even though GitLab did not show any problems in their status history: [WayBack] GitLab System Status History.
I waited (and succeeded) because of [WayBack] git – How to solve’fatal: index-pack failed’? – Stack Overflow.
Some links that I want to check out later:
When it hangs, just kill the process with Ctrl+C and run this command in repository folder:
$ git fsck notice: HEAD points to an unborn branch (master) Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done. Checking objects: 100% (3298/3298), done. notice: No default references dangling commit 2916d1238ca0f4adecbda580ef4329a649fc777cNow just merge that dangling commit:
$ git merge 2916d1238ca0f4adecbda580ef4329a649fc777cand from now on you can enjoy repository content in any way you want.
Likely workaround[4] that doesn’t require git update:
Since the pack files have been downloaded correctly all you need to do is to interrupt the process with Ctrl+C, do a git fetch to fetch branch information from the remote repository and checkout the master (or any other) branch again with a git checkout master.
- Interrupt the git process that hung on resolving deltas with
Ctrl+C- Fetch branch information with
git fetch- Checkout the master branch (or any other branch) with
git checkout masterThis made git set up my branch master to track remote branch master and unpack the files correctly while also preserving branch information.

When writing Some links on PostScript books and online content, back from the days, I archived [Wayback] Index of /RESOURCES from the site hosting the [Wayback/Archive.is] LPRng Web Page (see also LPRng on Wikipedia):
The LPRng software is an enhanced, extended, and portable implementation of the Berkeley LPR print spooler functionality. While providing the same interface and meeting RFC1179 requirements, the implementation is completely new and provides support for the following features: lightweight (no databases needed) lpr, lpc, and lprm programs; dynamic redirection of print queues; automatic job holding; highly verbose diagnostics; multiple printers serving a single queue; client programs do not need to run SUID root; greatly enhanced security checks; and a greatly improved permission and authorization mechanism.
The source software compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX systems, and is compatible with other print spoolers and network printers that use the LPR interface and meet RFC1179 requirements.
Subdirectories (the PPD one goes one level deeper with both files and directories; XEROX just has a subdirectory with one file):
