Code Smell 180 - BitWise Optimizations
Bitwise operators are faster. Avoid these micro-optimizations
TL;DR: Don't use bitwise operators unless your business model is bitwise logic.
Problems
Readability
Clevereness
Premature Optimization
Maintainability
Bijection Violation
Solutions
Improve readability
Context
Some clever programmers solve problems we don't have.
We should optimize code based on evidence and use the scientific method.
We should benchmark only if necessary and improve code only if really necessary and bear the cost of changeability and maintainability.
Sample Code
Wrong
const nowInSeconds = ~~(Date.now() / 1000)
Right
const nowInSeconds = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000)
Detection
[X] Semi-Automatic
We can tell our linters to warn us and manually check if it is worth the change.
Exceptions
Real-time and mission-critical software.
Tags
Premature Optimization
Conclusion
If we find this code in a pull request or code review, we need to understand the reasons. If they are not justified, we should do a rollback and change it to a normal logic.

1. Building universal JS/TS plugins with unplugin
I started building my open source projects for the community some time ago already. It always gave me a lot of joy when I noticed that the amount of GitHub Stars was growing each day. First, I was building project with Nest.js, next with Nuxt.js and only recently, I have found that developing tools with Vite is even better because you can reach even bigger audience. And just few days, when I started working on my new tool contentine (that I will publish quite soon btw) I found out the project ca…

In my previous article, we saw how to strictly type-check the NgTemplateOutlet when it is used on a child component. In this article, we will see how to do this when the TemplateRef is located inside the same template as the NgTemplateOutletDirective
We define the following template where our TemplateOutlet directive is embedded inside the #personRef template.
*ngTemplateOutlet="

3. Design patterns in Umbraco | part 1
If you've had an education in computer science or programming, then you'll likely have seen design patterns before. In practice however, it may be more difficult to recognize where design patterns are appropriate. In this series of posts, I'd like to put several design patterns in the spotlight and give some practical examples on how you can use them in your Umbraco websites.
Recap
Design patterns, also known as: programming patterns, are "common solutions to common problems". The aim of desi…

1. Naming Things in Program
There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.
-- Phil Karlton
Whether Phil said this quote or not. In my opinion, I totally agree with the naming of things, especially since English ain't my mother language.
Good naming would let your objects say: "Say my name", and speak proudly like Mr. White in Breaking Bad. So how to name things? There are some concepts that come below.

2. 40 Essential Linux Commands That Every Developer Should Know
Linux is a family of open-source Unix operating systems based on the Linux Kernel. They include Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, openSUSE, and Red Hat.
When operating Linux, you need to use a shell — a program that gives you access to the operating system’s services. Most Linux distribution use a graphical user interface (GUI), making them beginner — friendly.
However, I recommend utilizing the command-line interface (CLI) since it’s quicker and offers more control.
So, in case you want to utilize Lin…

1. Combining GPT and Wolfram Alpha
An interesting essay appeared on Wolfram|Alpha's blog today:
Wolfram|Alpha as the Way to Bring Computational Knowledge Superpowers to ChatGPT. In it, the author (Stephen Wolfram?) argues that ChatGPT and Wolfram|Alpha complement each other — the latter being particularly good at numerical, mathematical, and computational tasks where ChatGPT is weak.
So I decided to try this for myself! Free API keys are available for both GPT-3.5 and Wolfram|Alpha, making them accessible in environments like M…

1. Linear Regression in Python: From Data to Model
What is Linear Regression?
Linear regression is a statistical method used for modeling the relationship between a dependent variable (also known as the outcome or response variable) and one or more independent variables (also known as predictors or explanatory variables). The goal of linear regression is to find the best-fitting line through a set of data points, where the line is defined by an equation of the form y = mx + b, where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m …
