New Mac Mini

Filed under: Apple OSX, Philosophy, Tiny Annoyances — Dan @ 09:00

I just purchased a new Apple Mac Mini!

This new computer will serve 3 purposes:

  1. serve as a media hub (movies, podcasts etc)
  2. home computer / photo workstation
  3. central server for my repository of documents.

This machine replaces my EEPC in the Smart Document Sync and Backup model.

Below is a review about what I have to say about the machine after a week. (more…)

DRY: Don’t Repeat Yourself.

Filed under: Philosophy, Utility — Dan @ 14:42

This is a good principle to follow when writing code (although it works in other areas of life too!). It may help you someday. Tell all your friends.

Directly Read The Article in Wikipedia

Read it, know it, love it. Here is the 30 second version, paraphrased:

What: DRY is a process philosophy aimed at reducing duplication

Why: Duplication increases the difficulty of change or innovation, may decrease clarity, and leads to opportunities for inconsistency.

Coolness: A modification of any single element of a system does not change other logically-unrelated elements.

Elements that are logically related all change predictably and uniformly, and are thus kept in sync.
