Node.js on Apple Silicon

Node Version Manager (https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) works perfectly across native node installations as well as emulated Rosetta installations. The trick I am using here is to install one LTS version of node under Rosetta and another stable version as native binary.

TODO

• find a way how to run the same node version on both platforms

While driving on the motorway you overtake several vehicles. A vehicle approaches you from behind with indicators and headlights flashing. What should you do?

• I brake briefly to prompt the vehicle behind to keep its distance
• I continue driving until I can again pull into the right-hand lane
• I turn on my hazard lights briefly to urge the vehicle behind to keep its distance

When must you switch on the hazard lights on your vehicle? If my vehicle

• is being towed
• experiences a breakdown at a place where the view is obscured
• is briefly double-parked by me

Programming as Theory Building

Peter Naur

Peter Naur's classic 1985 essay "Programming as Theory Building" argues that a program is not its source code. A program is a shared mental construct (he uses the word theory) that lives in the minds of the people who work on it. If you lose the people, you lose the program. The code is merely a written representation of the program, and it's lossy, so you can't reconstruct

Git Subtree Basics

If you hate git submodule, then you may want to give git subtree a try.

Background

When you want to use a subtree, you add the subtree to an existing repository where the subtree is a reference to another repository url and branch/tag. This add command adds all the code and files into the main repository locally; it's not just a reference to a remote repo.

When you stage and commit files for the main repo, it will add all of the remote files in the same operation. The subtree checkout will pull all the files in one pass, so there is no need to try and connect to another repo to get the portion of subtree files, because they were already included in the main repo.

Adding a subtree

Let's say you already have a git repository with at least one commit. You can add another repository into this respository like this:
