I know you guys like funny or weird source code comments. Here are interesting comments in the source code of SQLite https://github.com/endlesssoftware/sqlite3/blob/master/os.h#L133

Can we approach a normal distribution with µ = 0 and σ = 1?

Please share so we get a pretty graph. ^^"

As I understand it, domain-driven design can have different ubiquitous languages for different bounded contexts. Sometimes, two languages will use the same noun, like Customer. There may need to be some sort of “bridge” linking the two. I’m interested in, um, the conceptual issues around that. How do people think about (then implement) the translation?

Please boost.

What I'm listening to today: "SNCF Lo-Fi Hip-Hop ▶ YAMAHA SU10 Unquantized Beat", Q_yr Ko

Okay, this one is a *bop*. Made on the SU10, a 1996 portable sampler resembling a much worse version of Yamaha's cult-beloved QY line, most of the appeal here is the contortions the musician had to go through to get the SU10 to do anything at all. Watch their fingers; it can't do sequencing, so they're toggling fixed-length loops made on a PO-33. Fun stuff.

Note: Yes, *that* SNCF.

Is this true for you? “The more I code the more comfortable I am deleting code.”

It took me two tries to actually read through this article properly, because editing text on a phone is so horrible that I do it so seldom that the subtleties are lost on me. I just agree that it sucks: https://jenson.org/text/

Why is this important? It has been argued that phones "aren't intended" for extended text entry, so this is a non-problem. I have the option of switching to a computer with a keyboard. But phones are the only computer that many people in the developing world can access.

I took this photo of my kid playing with his blocks the other day, and when I realized it reminded me of something, well...I had to make this.
