iflywithbook··on If I could bring one thing back to the internet it would be blogs
Is there a way to search only for blogs on Google?

Could be a great way to find 'unpopular' content

iflywithbook··on WeWork's Adam Neumann sued over $1.7bn package

iflywithbook··on Why functional programming matters (1990) [pdf]
One of my favorite papers. Incidentally, although I'd spent my entire career chasing some elusive notion of "good design", this paper was the first I have seen to explicitly define "good design" as "modular".

It is now generally accepted that modular design is the key to successful programming... However, there is a very important point that is often missed. When writing a modular program to solve a problem, one first divides the problem into subproblems, then solves the subproblems, and finally combines the solutions. The ways in which one can divide up the original problem depend directly on the ways in which one can glue solutions together. Therefore, to increase one’s ability to modularize a problem conceptually, one must provide new kinds of glue in the programming language. Complicated scope rules and provision for separate compilation help only with clerical details — they can never make a great contribution to modularization

I now tend to see all the other design principles as ways to improve modularity. Everything else is mostly just fluff.

iflywithbook··on Wordpress Alternatives List
I agree

I tried Wix for a while

But to be honest I really love wordpress.

The number of plugins is insane.

The bad thing about wordpress is the security.

I feel like if you run a wordpress site its more likley to get security vuanrbilities than a site that runs on another CMS

the list is pretty cool due, it shows some alternatives I never saw before

iflywithbook··on Norway's Bold Plan to Tackle Overtourism
It's interesting to see countries work so hard to developing the tourism and than reaching a point where they can't stop it

I lived in Amsterdam for a year and you can't walk in the city center without drunk/high people around you

I was completely fine with it, but I know that many people who live in the heart of amsterdam that their life changed once they tourist raised

What people should realize is that when the tourist is high in a city/country it doesn't mean that all the people of the country benefit from it.

Only the owners of shops and services around the tourist industry and in many cases it's a pretty centralised industry
