Git: From Personal Project to the Tool Everyone Needed
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1lfdnlq/git_from_personal_project_to_the_tool_everyone/
<!-- SC_OFF -->In the early 1990s, Linus Torvalds, a student from Finland, began working on an operating system kernel. What started as a personal project gradually evolved into Linux, which eventually became one of the most widely used open-source operating systems in the world. Since the source code was open to everyone, developers from different parts of the world began contributing. As the community grew, Linus and his team needed a proper way to manage all the code changes efficiently. To manage the increasing number of contributions, the Linux team started using a version control system called BitKeeper around 2002. BitKeeper worked well for a large-scale project like the Linux kernel because it was fast and had the right features. However, BitKeeper was a proprietary ( not open-source ) tool. The Linux community was only allowed to use it under certain conditions. In 2005, the company behind BitKeeper revoked that access after conflicts with the community. This left the Linux project without a proper version control system during a crucial time. After BitKeeper was no longer available, Linus decided not to depend on external tools again. He was not satisfied with the alternatives like CVS (Concurrent Versions System) or Subversion (SVN), as they were too slow and inflexible for the scale of the Linux project. Instead of depending on another tool, he chose to build his own. In approximately ten days, Linus created the first version of Git. His only goal was to build something efficient for managing Linux development. It was not designed as a public project or a tool for others. Git was simply a personal solution to a real problem he was facing. But it did not remain personal for long. The qualities that made Git suitable for Linux quickly caught the attention of developers around the world. A distributed system that ensured speed, reliability, and safe collaboration became valuable far beyond its original purpose. Git gradually moved from being a personal tool built by Linus to becoming the version control system used by almost every software team today. While reading about how Git got its name, I came across this on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git#Naming). The documentation lists a few possible meanings behind the name Git. Here is the exact text: "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. Random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. Stupid. Contemptible and despicable. Simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. "Global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. "Goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Karthik-Writes-Tech (https://www.reddit.com/user/Karthik-Writes-Tech)

Data Oriented Design, Region-Based Memory Management, and Security
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1le9yyi/data_oriented_design_regionbased_memory/
<!-- SC_OFF -->Hello, the attached devlog covers a concept I have seen quite a bit from (game) developers enthusiastic about data-oriented design, which is region-based memory management. An example of this pattern is a program allocating a very large memory region on the heap and then placing data in the region using normal integers, effectively using them as offsets to refer to the location of data within the large region. While it certainly seems fair that such techniques have the potential to make programs more cache-efficient and space-efficient, and even reduce bugs when done right, I am curious to hear some opinions on whether this pattern could be considered a potential cybersecurity hazard. On the one hand, DOD seems to offer a lot of benefits as a programming paradigm, but I wonder whether there is merit to saying that the extremes of hand-rolled memory management could start to be problematic in the sense that you lose out on both the hardware-level and kernel-level security features that are designed for regular pointers. For applications that are more concerned with security and ease of development than aggressively minimizing instruction count (which one could argue is a sizable portion - if not a majority - of commercial software), do you think that a traditional syscall-based memory management approach, or even a garbage-collected approach, is justifiable in the sense that they better leverage hardware pointer protections and allow architectural choices that make it easier for developers to work in narrower scopes (as in not needing to understand the whole architecture to develop a component of it)? As a final point of discussion, I certainly think it's fair to say there are certain performance-critical components of applications (such as rendering) where these kinds of extreme performance measures are justifiable or necessary. So, where do you fall on the spectrum from "these kinds of patterns are never acceptable" to "there is never a good reason not to use such patterns," and how do you decide whether it is worth it to design for performance at a potential cost of security and maintainability? <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/nerd8622 (https://www.reddit.com/user/nerd8622)

The joy of (type) sets in Go
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1lf6ndh/the_joy_of_type_sets_in_go/
<!-- SC_OFF -->The point of generic programming (https://bitfieldconsulting.com/posts/generics) is to be able to write code that operates on more than one concrete data type. That way, we don’t have to repeat the same code over and over, once for each kind of data that we need it to handle. But being free and easy about your data types can go too far: type parameters (https://bitfieldconsulting.com/posts/type-parameters) that accept literally any kind of data aren’t that useful. We need constraints (https://bitfieldconsulting.com/posts/constraints) to reduce the set of types that a function can deal with. When the type set is infinite (as it is with [T any], for example), then there’s almost nothing we can do with those values, because we’re infinitely ignorant about them. So, how can we write more flexible constraints, whose type sets are broad enough to be useful, but narrow enough to be usable? <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/EightLines_03 (https://www.reddit.com/user/EightLines_03)

CRA to Next.js: Unlock 5x Performance & Perfect SE
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1leigvo/cra_to_nextjs_unlock_5x_performance_perfect_se/
<!-- SC_OFF -->Hey everyone, With Create React App now deprecated, I know a lot of us are looking at how to migrate existing projects. I just finished moving a decent-sized app over to the Next.js App Router and wanted to share what I learned. The biggest "aha!" moments for me were: Moving all data fetching from useEffect hooks into async Server Components. This completely eliminated my client-side request waterfalls. Replacing react-router-dom with the new file-based routing and next/navigation hooks. Using middleware for auth instead of client-side logic. It's so much cleaner. I compiled all my notes, code snippets, and a pre-migration checklist into a full guide to make the process easier for others. Hope it helps you out!

Voiden: The Offline API Devtool
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1lefans/voiden_the_offline_api_devtool/
<!-- SC_OFF -->So, somewhere along the way, API tooling has lost the plot. One tool for specs. Another for tests. A third one for docs. Then, a parade of SDKs, mocks, CI scripts, and shiny portals nobody really asked for. All served up by platforms that charge you a fortune while flying in celebrities to play "developer advocate" at their overblown conferences. And the ones who don't do all of that just end up differing from it in color palettes, and the way they paywall core features. Hence Voiden. A tool that came out of the frustration of its creators in need of something better.
Unifying the API work without heavy-handed platforms controlling our process.
With Voiden, you can define, test, and document APIs like a developer, not a SaaS user.
No accounts. No lock-in. No telemetry. Just Markdown, Git, hotkeys, and your damn specs. TL;DR
- Keep specs, tests, and docs in plain Markdown, not across half a dozen tools you must keep in sync.
- Version with Git, not proprietary clouds.
- Extend with plugins, not paywalls.
- No syncing.
- No "collaboration" tax. And yes, Voiden looks different than your ordinary API client.
That is the point. It's a unique approach to building APIs. Your workflow, your rules. Your Voiden file can be as simple as a couple of hotkeys. Or it can be as complex as you want it to be. Import (multiple) reusable block(s) from across your project and document everything you need. Oh, and your messy old Postman and OAS YAML files are all importable and generate executable, documentable files within the app. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/kiselitza (https://www.reddit.com/user/kiselitza)
