🤦‍♂️ Oh, joy! Another thrilling 12-minute treatise on code complexity that rivals a calculus textbook in zest. Apparently, if you throw enough fancy terms like Cyclomatic and Halstead at your #JavaScript spaghetti, it suddenly becomes gourmet 🤔👌. Who knew #psycholinguistics held the key to #refactoring nightmares? 🍝🔍

Nghiên cứu mới chỉ ra sự tương quan chặt chẽ giữa độ sâu thụt lề (indentation depth) và độ phức tạp vòng (cyclomatic complexity) của mã nguồn.

Thay vì dựa vào các công cụ phân tích cú pháp phức tạp, phương pháp này đo lường độ phức tạp dựa trên khoảng trắng, giúp nó có khả năng áp dụng trên mọi ngôn ngữ lập trình. Đây là cách tiếp cận đơn giản nhưng hiệu quả để đánh giá chất lượng và khả năng bảo trì của code.

🖼️ Behold, a diagram so dense it makes spaghetti code look like a minimalist art piece. Because who wouldn't want to spend their free time deciphering the Linux Network Stack in 2024? 🎨🍝 Apparently, it's a fun pastime for those with a PhD in Hieroglyphics. 🧑‍🏫💀

Entire Linux Network stack diagram

Diagram of entire Linux Network Stack, including: Virtualization and Linux containers: Emulation and Paravirtualization. Network sockets. Network stack: Upper layer of Network stack (TCP, UDP). Low layer of Network stack with GRO, RPS, RFS and GSO. Network Scheduler. NetFilter and traffic controll: Bridge and Bond interfaces. Tap interface, ... Device Driver: Queue. NAPI. IRQ handler. Network functions accelerated by NIC: Checksum offload, VLAN, VxLAN, GRE, TSO, LRO, RSS, ... Network card. All (above) sections (layers) include tips for optimizations and/or statistics.   This diagram is part of the book:  Operativni sustavi i računalne mreže - Linux u primjeni https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8119310

🚀✨ Behold, yet another #Rust project promising to revolutionize your streams faster than you can say "input-output"! It's like a Swiss Army knife for data streams, except nobody asked for one with 72 unnecessary functions. 🤖🔧 But hey, at least it’s open source, so you can marvel at all the code complexity without spending a dime! 🤑

🎉 Welcome to the magical world where everything accidentally becomes Turing-complete! 🧙‍♂️ From C++ templates to Java generics, if it can compute, it will compute. 🤔 Because who doesn't love turning simple tools into complex computational nightmares? 😂

@sinisterporpoise I used #javascript for a side project. 6 months in, the code became a horrifying mess.

There would be too many warnings and errors in npm. Fixing 1 bug would create 2-3 more. Adding new features became impossible. That codebase still gives me nightmares.

I decided to abandon it and preserve my sanity. Never too late to realise the importance of #typesafety, #testing and keeping #codecomplexity low.
