The Humble Programmer

by Edsger W. Dijkstra

As a result of a long sequence of coincidences I entered the programming profession officially on the first spring morning of 1952 and as far as I have been able to trace, I was the first Dutchman to do so in my country. In retrospect the most amazing thing was the slowness with which, at least in my part of the world, the programming profession emerged, a slowness which is now hard to believe. But I am grateful for two vivid recollections from that period

In today's rapidly evolving world, artificial intelligence is shaking up many industries that were once thought to be technology-proof, from software engineering to legal services. The impact of AI on the human economy is still uncertain, but it's easy to feel worried about the future.

What used to be a far-off dream is now becoming a reality: a world where personalized AI agents can replace entire industries such as entertainment, education, legal services, and software engineering. We can already imagine asking AI to create a suite of music or a movie and consuming it immediately.

But as AI continues to evolve, we also face the possibility of increasing wealth inequality, where the 1% will use AI instead of people, leaving the 99% to suffer the consequences. The wealth gap we have now could become insignificant in comparison.

Without a game plan, the transition to a post-AI world could be chaotic and untenable. While researchers take the risks of AI seriously, leaders of business, governments, and milita

Password Store (pass) on Mac, Firefox and Android

A quick word on OPSEC.

Completed the initial setup of [pass] on Macos Big Sur, this is after BitWarden locked me out half a day because apparently I had "network issues", but that seems highly doubtful.

Anyway that shook my faith in Bitwarden, so I searched for an alternative and I'm pretty happy with [pass]. It's simple, no-nonsense. In a nutshell it's front end for a git repo + gpg to handle encryption.

Bascially if your client side can reach/interact with a git repo and works with GPG (2.2 for Android/OpenKeyChain, see below.) we're in business.

Notes on color contrast WCAG

contrast-ratios
(L1 + 0.05) / (L2 + 0.05)

Where

L1 is the relative luminance of the lighter of the colors, and L2 is the relative luminance of the darker of the colors.

All these operations are very natural for buffer objects as well as strings, which leads me to the conclusion we should provide two flavours for each function, for buffers and for strings. The way emacs does it is by specifying an object argument. I find this suboptimal, but it is also possible solution (and would reduce the number of functions in half). Note that there are also different indexing conventions, see the Question below.

All functions come in buffer and string flavours. The “current position” is called point in buffer versions and offset in string
