Quote by Rob Pike

The bigger the interface, the weaker the abstraction.

The bigger the interface, the weaker the abstraction.

Summary

This quote is referring to the relationship between the size of an interface and the strength of abstraction in a system. An interface is a boundary or medium through which different components of a system interact. In software development, an interface allows different software components to communicate with each other. The quote suggests that as the size of the interface grows, the strength of abstraction weakens. This means that when a system becomes too complex with a large interface, it becomes more challenging to maintain a clear and concise abstraction, which can lead to difficulties in understanding, implementing, and maintaining the system.

Human beings are the only ones in nature who are aware that

Human beings are the only ones in nature who are aware that they will die. For that reason and only for that reason, I have a profound respect for the human race, and I believe that its future is going to be much better than its present. Even knowing that their days are numbered and that everything will end when they least expect it, people make of their lives a battle that is worthy of a being with eternal life. What people regard as vanity-leaving great works, having children, acting in such a way as to prevent one's name from being forgotten- I regard as the highest expression of human dignity.
