I had heard that the latter three Dune books are weird, so I was prepared for that. I wasn't prepared for the way in which it was weird. First of all, this book has the claustrophobia of a theatre play: A limited set of locations and mostly dialogue. ...more |

| This was a surprisingly delightful tall tale. In Danish, the words 'løgnehistorie' (literally, 'lie story') or 'røverhistorie' (literally, 'robber story') comes with the additional connotation that a yarn is so completely over the top that its main p ...more | |

This is a collection of twenty short stories, the most famous of which is undoubtedly The Lottery. While decent enough, it wasn't my favourite. I enjoyed the detailed logistics of how to run away in Lousia, Please Come Home, which, I'm sure, was hardl ...more |

This was surprisingly difficult to read for more than one reason. 1. The language is odd, making use of eccentric punctuation, strange word sequences, or just weird syntax. Perhaps, over 529 pages I grew used to it, or perhaps I just stopped caring. A ...more |

question:
Thank you for writing.
When you read a book to learn something, hopefully it helps you achieve that goal. Once you've learned what you set out to, there's no reason to keep reading books helping you to learn what you already know. I learned F# around 2 See Full Answer |

| It's been a long time since I read Never Let Me Go, but I was reminded of it when I started Klara and the Sun. Thematically, they both deal with 'quasi-humans' whose only reason for existence is to serve some purpose for 'real' people. While Never Le ...more | |

| Som det også er tilfældet med nogle af de tidligere bind i serien om Vølvens Vej, er femte og afsluttende bog tæt på at gå i stå undervejs. Alligevel lykkes det at afslutte serien på fin vis. De sidste hundrede sider opfyldte mine forventninger til e ...more | |

Som jeg skrev om tredje bog i serien om Vølvens Vej, syntes den at tabe højde. Det viser sig gudskelov at have været et forbigående fænomen, for fjerde bog var nogenlunde ligeså underholdende som første og anden. Som jeg nævnte allerede i min anmeldel ...more |

“The more you produce, the more you have to read. Automated code generation only makes matters worse. As Martin Fowler writes about low code quality: “Even small changes require programmers to understand large areas of code, code that’s difficult to understand.” [32] Code that’s difficult to understand slows you down. On the other hand, every minute you invest in making the code easier to understand pays itself back tenfold.”

“3.2 Why Programming Is Difficult What makes software development so hard? There’s more than one reason. One is, as discussed in section 1.1, that we’re using the wrong metaphors. That clouds our thinking, but that’s not the only reason. Another problem is that a computer is quantitatively different from a brain. Yes, that’s another problematic metaphor”

“A lot of people see doubt as legitimate philosophical posture. They think of themselves in the middle, whereas of course really, they're nowhere.”

“Will highly comprehensible code, by virtue of being easy to modify, inevitably be supplanted by increasingly less elegant code until some equilibrium is achieved between comprehensibility and fragility? Perhaps simple on the outside/fragile on the inside can be an effective survival strategy for evolving artifacts.”
