Learnt about this while researching good'ol binary search

TL;DR

int mid = low + ((high - low) / 2);

or

int mid = (low + high) >>> 1;

Randomly stumbled upon this website from an article on hacker news.

https://degica.com/ looks like an interesting company.

The new thing won’t be better, you just aren’t aware of all of the ways it will be terrible yet.

Definitely a great read

Yet another day, another issue compiling software under macOS

A great article (spoiler alert: did not finish it yet) about backpressure

Might be interesting to look into that for the book club

One day, to play with Istio locally and learn more about it

how to fix the bundle install, quote:

It seems that the latest version of XCode tools (12 Beta 3) installs a version of Clang (the C compiler used by default on MacOS) that throws an error on implicit functions used on the native extension code of Puma.

Running the following:

bundle config build.puma --with-cflags="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"
bundle install

Fixed the issue

Must learn Java framework

Great data structures in Java

Learn and improve my knowledge of testing

Java checkstyle from Spring framework

In Go

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "math"
    "math/rand"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    n := 10_000_000
    r := rand.New(rand.NewSource(time.Now().UnixNano()))
    count := 0

    for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
        x := r.Float64()
        y := r.Float64()

        pytha := math.Sqrt(x*x + y*y)

        if pytha <= 1 {
            count++
        }
    }

    fmt.Println("Pi = ", float64(count)/float64(n)*4)
}

It's beautiful

Microsoft has deemed C++ no longer acceptable for writing mission-critical software. The industry sorely needs to move to a performant, memory-safe language for its low-low system work. And the best choice on the market today is Rust, Levick said.

I can't believe how complicated it is to create a bootable USB for Windows 10. Thank you Alex!
