14 августа 2013 года, ровно 9 лет назад, я впервые установил Telegram. Вот такой скриншот был в промо-материалах: акцент на технологии, а про рюшечки для блондинок упомянуто вскользь с шуткой.
Позавчера Telegram выкатил анимированные эмодзи и кастомные реакции. Перед этим Павел Дуров написал пост о том, что Apple очередной раз задерживает обновление, в котором будет революционный способ самовыражения. Обновление вышло, а революции что-то не видно: анимированные колобки были ещё в Qip десять лет назад, кастомные реакции есть в Slack и Discord.
Ну да ладно. Меня больше удивляет фиксация команды Telegram на рюшечках: огромные силы тратятся на все эти стикеры, анимации, реакции, эмодзи. И среди последнего десятка крупных обновлений, кажется, не было ни одного без этой фигни.
Почему так происходит? Некоторые говорят, это потому, что Телеграм уже полностью доделан, и в него банально нечего добавить. Но это не так: до сих пор нет средств дискавери для каналов, до сих пор нельзя адекватно прикреплять картинку к тексту, сжатие фотографий всё ещё очень шакальное, полноценно редактировать альбом невозможно, посты в каналах по интерфейсу всё ещё чат-монолог на 60% от ширины экрана, на главной странице всё ещё вперемешку сущности из всех папок, и вообще управление папками сделано через одно место. В общем, много всего ещё нужно править.
Думаю, дело в другом: команда Telegram очень круто умеет в UI/UX и фичи, лучше всех на рынке. Но почти не умеет в бизнес и маркетинг. Она, как и Дуров, не понимают, как продавать свой продукт. Им сейчас надо привлечь широкие массы и, видимо, внутренняя статистика показывает рост активности и вовлечённости от всех этих рюшечек. А, значит, надо ещё больше рюшечек.
Но это примерно как в продуктовом магазине обнаружить, что люди покупают алкоголь, и начать очень активно развивать это направление, подзабив на всё остальное. Расширять полки с бухлом, рекламировать его, ставить прямо на входе, заслонять спиртягой хлеб и другие продукты. Покупателей, возможно, станет больше, но они будут алкашами.

🏭Bali reduces dependence on Java: the island will build its own power plants
📰 Bali is on the verge of energy independence: the authorities are launching several projects to build their own power plants. Gas stations in Denpasar and Gianyar, as well as two new units on the north coast, will provide the island with 1.5 GW of power by 2029.
ℹ️ This will make it possible to abandon vulnerable underwater cables from Java and eliminate the risk of large-scale blackouts. Residents are being urged to support the initiative by installing solar panels and switching to renewable energy sources.

🎰Bali governor rejects casino construction despite promised 100 trillion rupiah
📰 Bali Governor Wayan Koster has stated that he rejects the proposal to create a legalized casino, even despite the potential profit of 100 trillion rupiah.
🛕 According to him, the refusal is dictated by the principles of cultural tourism development, on which the island's economy is based.
🤔 At the same time, according to some analysts, the location of casinos in new areas, for example, near the northern airport under construction, could accelerate the development of these territories. And if it later turns out that casinos really do interfere with cultural tourism, they can always be closed.

🌊Bali will build a kilometer-long promenade from Changgu to Cemagi
📰 A kilometer-long promenade will appear along the coast between Canggu and Cemagi by 2026. It will rehabilitate the eroded shoreline, create a wide pedestrian path and recreational areas.
📍 The cultural center will be the area near the Batu Ngaus temple, where a stage for kechak dances is planned. Traders will be distributed among the new pavilions to make the beaches convenient for both visitors and entrepreneurs.

🏭The largest battery production project in Indonesia has begun
📰 Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL), the world's largest manufacturer of batteries for electric vehicles, has begun a large-scale project in Indonesia to create production facilities and an ecosystem related to the production of electric vehicles.
🧲 The investment is estimated at $6 billion.
ℹ️ According to Indonesian Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahliola Lahadalia, this is the first project of its kind and scale in the world. The launch of electric vehicle battery production is one of 18 large-scale industrial projects planned for implementation in Indonesia in the coming years. Together, they are estimated to be worth nearly $45 billion.
The projects will be implemented in the areas of nickel and bauxite production, as well as gasification, oil refining, and the creation of oil storage facilities. Some of the initiatives will affect fishing, agriculture, and the forestry industry.

Ok, I’m online again so Happy New Year for everyone 🎈
The first article that I want to share this year is about channels design in GoLang, their structure and internal operations. Enjoy the reading!

Hello, there! One GoLang feature proposal about immutability is here 🙂
It’s a really interesting idea with pros and cons inside, it has a good explanation, use cases and examples for the following proposed changes: fields, arguments, variables, return values, methods reference types (Pointers, slices, maps, channels). This approach merits attention if you are interested in paths of GoLang development, so, have a good reading! 😉

Good day 👋 I would like to share following 7 advices in short article by Kartik Khare how to increase your code quality in GoLang. Of course, before using it you should understand reasons for each advice in the post. As example Kartik writes:
#6 Use int as keys instead of strings in Map.
It’s a good way but here we can get optimization for optimization 🤔
