Go 1.18: new features

Published at January 3, 2022 ·  1 min read

While it’s not release yet, it’s just a reminder to myself to not forget come back to it in February and read about these features: Fuzzing library - should be useful for everybody who writes unit-tests. I don’t like tests in Go but this thing could help a lot net/netip package - this is a definitely good thing to have it in a standard library New go get behaviour - nothing critical but the new features should be adopted Generics - I think almost everybody waits for it....

Всё будет Kubernetes

Published at January 2, 2022 ·  2 min read

Лучше поздно, чем никогда, но я решил написать своё мнение про использование K8S. Традиционно, мнение автора может не совпадать с мнением читателей и может быть абсолютно ошибочным. Я не буду описывать плюсы и минусы Kubernetes в этом посте. Тут не будет никаких технических деталей. Я просто поделюсь своим мнением, по его использованию. Сейчас всё больше и больше людей используют Kubernetes для развертывания всевозможных приложений начиная от статических сайтов, заканчивая запуском драйверов в контейнерах....

Everyday Blogging

Published at March 14, 2019 ·  1 min read

After 2.5 months I’m thinking about wrap up the everyday blogging activity. It was an interesting challenge. It helped me to restore a blog. But it’s really hard for me to do such things on a daily basis. I prefer quality instead of quantity. That means I need more time to write more interesting posts. I don’t know how I’ll do it in the future but I hope you’ll get more interesting posts soon....

I don't want this CI

Published at March 13, 2019 ·  1 min read

I love CI and I’m sure that it’s a required part of the software development. It helps a lot to test software to find issues as soon, as possible. CI save thousands of person-hours by automatically project testing. It works almost in the background and guides you to the next steps: go forward or step back and fix the issue. Everything is written above is valid only for good CI. It should not be too noisy....

Why GitHub's pull requests are not good for code review

Published at March 12, 2019 ·  1 min read

I hope many of you at lease once created or received pull requests in GitHub. Usually, before pull request is merged some code review process happens. Even after the last changes, code review functionality in GitHub is not really cool for day to day activities. I think it’s mostly because of pull requests are not designed for code review. It just allows you to add a few comments to the code....

The difference between frameworks and libraries

Published at March 11, 2019 ·  2 min read

NOTE: I didn’t google definition either for ‘library’ nor for ‘framework’ for years. I even didn’t read Wikipedia articles during the last 3-5 years. That means that thoughts are my own, so you could disagree with me. For me, the difference between a library and a framework is in architecture freedom. A framework provides you a skeleton for your project with some basic architecture. It would be a low-level architecture like ‘how to work with IO’ or a high-level MVC implementation....

bat: a cat clone with wings

Published at March 10, 2019 ·  1 min read

Finally switched from cat, less and vim (omg!) for reading files in a console. If you still didn’t try bat it’s the right time to try it. It’s a powerful CLI tool which works like cat+less out of the box, has syntax highlight like vim (honestly, I used vim to view file contents just because it has syntax highlight), supports themes and is configurable, so you can tune it as you want....

webpack: devserver proxy configuration

Published at March 9, 2019 ·  1 min read

Webpack’s devserver is a very helpful tool. It helps a lot by setting web server for application during development. Usually, you need to communicate with your API (backend) from the client-side via some URL. To avoid cross-site scripting and CORS configuration on your backend or web server(I hope, it’s Nginx:)), you can use a built-in proxy server in the webpack devserver. You use it you need just to update webpack config or vue....

UUIDs usage in /etc/fstab

Published at March 8, 2019 ·  1 min read

/etc/fstab is a config file to store static information about file system. It’s a native place to add disks information you would like to mount automatically on each system start. It has a pretty simple format: [device] [mountpoint] [filesystem] [options] [dump] [fscheck pass count] I used such format for the years and it worked before: /dev/sdb1 /opt/media ext4 defaults 0 0 I don’t know how many people do the same. I think this is the most used way to mount partitions during the startup....
