5 star reads of 2025 worth mentioning

#bookstodon 🧵

Someone has asked recently on a toot for others to share their ‘list of 2025 books’. Instead of pointing out to the list of what I’ve read, I’ll instead mention a few ‘5 star’ books I’ve read in 2025 that I think is worth pointing out towards.

By no particular order (well, the order in the photo, really…)

• AJ Pearce’s “Yours Cheerfully” and “Mrs Porter Calling”, books 2 and 3 of The Emmy Lake Chronicles. I’d already read the first book in the series and considered it a five stars read, and I plan to eventually read the fourth and last book in the series - the paperback edition is out next August. This isn’t a deep or profound book series - and doesn’t need to be in order to be a good one. It’s a series depicting the life of a young woman in war-time London. Each of these books made me cry and made me laugh, and I have found some comfort reading them in a time where, in many aspects, it feels like we’re living in a pre-war era…

I’m trying to implement configurable key bindings in tt. Boy, is parsing the key names into tcell.EventKeys a horrible thing. This type consists of three information:

1. maybe a predefined compound key sequence, like Ctrl+A
   
2. maybe some modifiers, such as Shift, Ctrl, etc.
   
3. maybe a rune if neither modifiers are present nor a predefined compound key exists
   

It’s hardcoded usage results in code like this:

func (t *TreeView[T]) InputHandler() func(event *tcell.EventKey, setFocus func(p tview.Primitive)) {
    return t.WrapInputHandler(func(event *tcell.EventKey, setFocus func(p tview.Primitive)) {
        switch event.Key() {
        case tcell.KeyUp:
            t.moveUp()
        case tcell.KeyDown:
            t.moveDown()
        case tcell.KeyHome:
            t.moveTop()
        case tcell.KeyEnd:
            t.moveBottom()
        case tcell.KeyCtrlE:
            t.moveScrollOffsetDown()
        case tcell.KeyCtrlY:
            t.moveScrollOffsetUp()
        case tcell.KeyTab, tcell.KeyBacktab:
            if t.finished != nil {
                t.finished(event.Key())
            }
        case tcell.KeyRune:
            if event.Modifiers() == tcell.ModNone {
                switch event.Rune() {
                case 'k':
                    t.moveUp()
                case 'j':
                    t.moveDown()
                case 'g':
                    t.moveTop()
                case 'G':
                    t.moveBottom()
                }
            }
        }
    })
}

This data structure is just awful to handle and especially initialize in my opinion. Some compound tcell.Keys are mapped to human-readable names in tcell.KeyNames. However, these names always use - to join modifiers, e.g. resulting in Ctrl-A, whereas tcell.EventKey.Name() produces +-delimited strings, e.g. Ctrl+A. Gnaarf, why this asymmetry!? O_o

I just checked k9s and they’re extending tcell.KeyNames with their own tcell.Key definitions like crazy: https://github.com/derailed/k9s/blob/master/internal/ui/key.go Then, they convert an original tcell.EventKey to tcell.Key: https://github.com/derailed/k9s/blob/b53f3091ca2d9ab963913b0d5e59376aea3f3e51/internal/ui/app.go#L287 This must be used when actually handling keyboard input: https://github.com/derailed/k9s/blob/e55083ba271eed6fc4014674890f70c5ed6c70e0/internal/ui/tree.go#L101

This seems to be much nicer to use. However, I fear this will break eventually. And it’s more fragile in general, because it’s rather easy to forget the conversion or one can get confused whether a certain key at hand is now an original tcell.Key coming from the library or an “extended” one.

I will see if I can find some other programs that provide configurable tcell key bindings.

Linux Hit a New All-Time High for Steam Market Share in December

Marques Mendes quer imigração regulada. Acha que agora as coisas estão muito melhor do que na altura do PS. Crescimento Económico tem de ser estratégico para um Presidente. Temos de ter no mínimo 3,5% de crescimento ao ano. Com mais liberalização e flexibilidade. Temos de aumentar as pensões.

Gouveia e Melo diz que temos é de falar de transparência e segurança, que isso é que são temas de presidenciais, em vez da economia que é um problema de governo. Mas diz isto para acusar LMM em ser facilitador e Seguro de ser fraco segundo Mário Soares.

LMM defende-se, dizendo que GeM tem feito uma campanha de insinuações e não apresenta um caso de facilitador.

AF - O aumento do salário mínimo é bom para os trabalhadores e economia, a descida do IRC é mau (diz e justifica). É preciso de cumprir a constituição, também na aceitação da entrada de imigrantes legalmente.

HC - A melhor integração a imigrantes é na escola

MV - a questão do território é que é o problema que temos de falar. A solução dele é criar Vieirópolis, no centro do país, uma cidade de ficção científica. Desta vez AV não esconde estar a rir, e é Cotrim a conter-se. Boa altura para ir para intervalo… no regresso será a vez do Pestana responder.

6/n

Vieira sobre a saúde quer proibir a doença. Ventura tapa a cara para não se rir do qie Vieira disse. Quer o direito à felicidade para todos os portugueses inscritos na constituição. O vinho canalizado é uma metáfora, admite. Resolvia o racismo pintando toda a gente.

3 - Crescimento Económico, imigração e legislação laboral:

Ventura diz que o problema da saúde e da habitação é culpa da geringonça porque aceitou imigrantes. Seguro está de trombas, e é acusado de ter deixado entrar criminosos em Portugal. Crescimento não é mais importante que parar a imigração.

Seguro quer disciplinar a imigração, a economia precisa de imigrantes, relembra a Ventura que isto não são as eleições legislativas.

Catarina Martins acha que é precisa integração. Quer uma economia de salários dignos, transição climática justa.

Cotrim é quem crescer mais que todos os outros, segundo ele próprio. Chama o jornalista de ingénuo quando os níveis de crescimento actuais são citados. Quer pensões mais altas(!), ah, mas é só quando tivemos a economia a crescer ainda mais, e a natalidade for maior, e a segurança social for “regenerada” (seja o que isso for).

Jorge Pinto começa por se virar a Ventura para dizer “fraude é o Senhor”. Diz que o Jorge Sampaio foi o melhor presidente e que quer ser como ele.

5/n

2 - O Presidente que querem ser:

Seguro diz que só serve o interesse nacional, nenhuns outros interesses. Não será Governo Sombra de ninguém. Precisamos de saúde a tempo e horas. Na saúde é um pacto que precisamos, na habitação é estimular o mercado de arrendamento e construção modular.

Ventura quer ser um presidente que manda no Governo (ainda que isso não seja o papel ou um poder de um Presidente).

Gouveia e Melo acusa Seguro de não ser independente porque tem o apoio de Costistas. No fundo vem com a conversa de que não há isentos em pessoas com uma matriz política, mas quando lhe dá jeito refere-se a ela (já votou PS e PSD, gosta do Sá Carneiro, etc.).

Marques Mendes não vai ser amigo nem adversário do Governo. Ataca Gouveia e Melo , perguntam-lhe de Sá Carneiro e começa a peixeirada, que felizmente não tem oportunidade de se expandir porque começa o intervalo.

Pena é que tudo indica que a segunda parte vai começar com Sá Carneiro… e até irrita como tanto LMM como GeM, AV e Cotrim acham que podem convencer o eleitorado que são um novo Sá Carneiro - e se calhar um bocadinho frustrante como eles acham que isso é obrigatoriamente uma coisa boa. Bem, se juntarmos o Passos Coelho à conversa até o Seguro se junta só clube… e são estes os candidatos no topo das sondagens 🤷‍♂️

3/n

Catarina Martins diz que mesmo quando tivemos uma ditadura ninguém aqui dizia que o bom era sermos atacados por um país estrangeiro. Temos de defender o direito internacional, em todos os casos: Venezuela, Gronelândia, Gaza, Ucrânia…

António Filipe repete o que disse Catarina Martins. E a questão não tem a haver com ditaduras - o que Trump fez é condenável, igualmente na Venezuela ou se fosse a Gronelândia. Diz que Governo Português agiu vergonhosamente.

Jorge Pinto acha que Trump e Putin são ambos maus. Está na mesma onda que CM e AF.

MV acha que isto é muito mal, e que se resolve com a bomba V, e a Gronelândia é importante por causa do bacalhau. Hitler começou assim (como Trump e Putin). Trump não para aqui, porque há-de parar?

AP chama ataque à democracia só darem voz aos 3 “candidatos ignorados” agora. Ele nunca teve negociatas com o Maduro, ao contrário de outros como Passos Coelho, mas bombardear um país e raptar alguém não é aceitável. A solução não é mais armas, é a mobilização para a paz.

HC diz que a Europa tem de se unir, e o que aconteceu na Venezuela é prova que o Comunismo não funciona (a culpa não é do atacante, mas do atacado, pelos vistos…) Afinal não, a Europa é um perigo, principalmente na Gronelândia (que nem é Comunista, mas pronto).

CM bem a realçar o insultuoso que é a insistente pergunta que lhe fazem sobre se desiste. CF continua a piorar a sua figura ao gozar com o facto de CM achar a insistente pergunta insultuosa. AV aproveita a pergunta para criticar MM porque é do PSD e “o PSD não fez nada há 40 anos” (pelos vistos incluindo quando Ventura era do PSD), e AS porque é do PS e esta conversa só está a ser tida por causa do Costa ter sido alvo, e Costa é do PS, logo AS é mau (a “lógica” do costume).

Steps to world domination:

1. “Invent” “AI” (by using other people’s data).
   
2. Get people hyped about it and ideally hooked on it.
   
3. Only provide it as a cloud service. But hey, if you want to, you can run it locally!
   
4. Buy all hardware available on the market, so that nobody but you can build more systems.
   
5. All PCs of consumers and competitors are too weak now and can’t be upgraded anymore.
   
6. Everybody depends on your cloud service! Win!
   

All of that is possible because corporations don’t have a “conscience” in capitalism. Nobody forces the RAM manufacturers to sell all their stuff to just one or two buyers, but since the only goal of that manufacturer is to make money, they do it.

I assume you made the thing load quickly, didn’t you?

That’s the problem with Python. If you have a couple of files to import, it will take time.

I want this to be reasonably fast on my old Intel NUC from 2016 (Celeron N3050 @ 1.60GHz) and I already notice that the program startup takes about 95 ms (or 125 ms when there are no .pyc files yet). That’s still fine, but it shows that I’ll have to be careful and keep this thing very small …

Python 3.14 will bring lazy imports, maybe that can help in some cases.
