| A book doesn't have to be long to fit into the 'space opera' category; at least not if you define this subgenre by the primary attribute that the plot mainly hops from planet to planet. I recently noted this property of a 422-pages ostensible space o ...more | |

Endnu en underholdende Maria Lang-krimi fra svigerfars sommerhusbibliotek. Dette er vist den tredje Maria Lang-bog jeg læser, og som i de foregående fungerer en ung kvinde som den udefrakommende, som sammen med læseren introduceres til miljøet og de m ...more |

| Like so many other people, I found The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August amazing, but then the next few books in Claire North's list of works I found less and less worthwhile, and eventually, after reading The End of the Day I decided to call it qu ...more | |

Nu er jeg fem bøger inde i Tove Janssons mumi-bøger, og jeg synes stadig at det ikke er helt let at læse svensk. Mumifamilien plejer at gå i hi hver vinter, men mumitrolden vågner lidt efter nytår og kan ikke falde i søvn igen. Der følger en ganske po ...more |

| Jeg fandt en pæn indbunden udgave af Spardame på en genbrugsstation, og da den dermed var gratis, tog jeg den med. Min erfaring med Helle Stangerup har været noget blandet. Jeg er ikke sikker, men tror at mine forældre havde en dobbeltudgave af Gule ...more | |

Udmærket og relativt letlæst essay om Lovecraft, som kan bruges til at sætte tingene i perspektiv efter end læsning af f.eks. The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories. Det er da betryggende at se, at de noveller i den samling, der sagde mig mest, å ...more |

How does one categorise this? How to rate it? It's increasingly rare that I buy books on a whim, but this came up a few times, and I suppose I found the title intriguing. I also had some Amazon gift-card money to spend. I don't want to go into the plot ...more |

| Mit kendskab til Pelle Erobreren begrænsede sig til at jeg vidste at Bille August havde modtaget en Oscar for sin filmatisering, og at Mattias Tesfaye eksplicit havde sørget for at Martin Andersen Nexø forblev i gymnasiernes litteraturkanon. Jeg var ...more | |

Functional and Concurrent Programming: Core Concepts and Features
by Michel Charpentier (Goodreads Author) |

| When this book came out (in late 2022, it seems), my marketing contact at Pearson asked me whether I would be interested in a copy in exchange for a review. I responded that I read books at my own pace, and according to my interests, and that I would ...more | |
“Providing technical expertise includes not confusing stakeholders with details they can’t make sense of or use.”

“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.”
