CodeWars

I really like Medium’s weekly digest. It keeps providing me with great articles. A few weeks back there was one with advice from a young girl developer, and (among other pretty solid advice) there was a mention of a certain CodeWars. First time I heard of it. This was Thursday evening.

On Sunday I had 50 or so kata behind me and I was challenging an 1kyu one. It’s really addictive, because I just keep pushing the “next kata” button and can’t rest until I’ve dealt with it. However, this approach doesn’t work if I wanted to solve 5 kata a day as advised, because the algo keeps giving me harder and harder challenges, and even “easier” ones end up taking a few hours.

Subcomponents in Vue.js lists

In my winter break I’ve been working on a Vue.js client for Mastodon. I’ve got two big reasons for doing it: I want link/video previews on my timeline and I have to get familiar with Vue for work.

I’m not very familiar with Mastodon’s API, nor with Vue, so I think I’ve been running into lots of problems that I shouldn’t have. For example, I added card (that’s the Mastodon name for link or video previews) autoloading to the timeline and I noticed something weird.

昨夜医療サービスのメドピアさん主催のRails 5.1勉強会に参加してきた。タイトルから見ると大した勉強になる期待はしなかったが、予想外に有意義だった。一番面白かったのは最初と最後。

Clojure（以降ローマ字に切り替えるのめんどいのでクロージャーと）の流行りに流されてしまった。

ラムダ計算は苦手だけど、苦手だからこそ挑戦したかった。弱みがあるの知ったら直したくなるのは性格。ジャヴァも苦手。別に言語としてどうこう以前に、この前アンドロイドアプリ作ってみてすごく苦戦したのは後味が悪い。

Ports below 1024 can only be bound by the superuser

Today I learned that ports below 1024 can only be bound by the superuser. It’s amusing that I’ve never run into this problem before considering how much I play around with various servers.

The reason for that might be that most servers just tell you that “you need to be root to do this”, but not explain why so I wasn’t aware. Until today, when while trying to build a lightweight Compojure thing, it just refused to start.

Adding Spotify support to my #nowplaying script

Spotify had a really charming summer sale, three months for 100 yen, and that was more inviting than what I could resist. As a result, I’ve been listening to various artist radios at home too (without premium it wouldn’t let the desktop client on).

Now that it works, of course I’d occasionally want to post #nowplaying tweets/toots too, so I added that functionality to my script. From the experience with fixing it for Clementine the other day, it was really easy.

OSSのすすめ

経済卒だけに、日常や人生のあらゆる面に効用の（俺の中の）概念を当てはめてる。意味がないことや、非効率的なやり方を我慢するのが難しかったりする。もちろんその分の金もらえるなら、我慢の限度も上がる。それでも短期的な効果がみえにくいことや進捗が測りにくいものは苦手。

そして言語が好き。別にプログラミングに限らず、言語のこと読んだり、使い方とかの入門をみたりするのが楽しい。例えば去年の今ころはアステカのナワトル語がマイブームだった。数年前はアイヌ語だった。今はハマる前提でどの（今回はプログラミング）言語にしようかを検討してる。

First steps to open source

The post on dev.to about how newbies should blog more was not the reason I actually pushed commits, but it was for writing this.

I gotta start with that I’m the kind who gets hyped quick and can lose interest just as quick. What was I expecting? Feedback. Something. Even getting yelled at is better than being ignored, and if I happen to find a welcoming community where I feel I can contribute meaningfully, I’d probably stay there for good.
