I currently see it happening with Ruby. I used it as a scripting language for DevOps tooling, CLIs, and for small web apps, but without rails. What I see is Go pushing it out from the DevOps space and Python is more popular as a general-pur

I don't like the proprietary protocol, but actually there is a good reason for this communication between the charger and the laptop. There are multiple charges with the same barrel jack, but different wattage. You plug a low wattage p

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I'm not questioning why you switched from an otherwise unused technology. Sometimes it's the best way forward. My comment is meant for this sentence: > Also, if you start giving people "1&#x2F

You don't give it to 3 random people. You give it to a team which depends on it. It's not a side project because if that breaks your project breaks.

Batteries degrade while in storage and they degrade with every cycle. The best you can do is never store it fully charged. Never discharge it fully. Modern tools never let you do that, but if you store a "discharged" battery it wi

I just got a notification that I can call people from my personal Gmail account. I thought Meet is Gsuite only and Duo(which I use frequently) is for personal use. Which made complete sense, but now they again competing with themself. Given

Yes, when you're leaning something you have to constantly refactor. It's part of the fun. You don't have hard deadlines so you don't have to get it right at the first time.

If you want to others use it, then document it. I really appreciate it. Otherwise, if you only wrote it for yourself you did enough. Undocumented code is better than no code. If you didn't publish at all I would have to start from zero

It's not a child. It's a hammer. Somebody put it in the community shed so others can use it. If it breaks or somebody needs a nailgun, that's not their problem. I'm glad if somebody lent me their hammer so I don't h

Where it really shines, when you have to manipulate, transform data. You can chain commands as you do with Unix pipes. You can read left to right, and know what is your data structure looks like at each step.

I really like that XKCD strip. A problem that was once hard now can be solved by a teenager with Tensorflow and a bunch of pictures.

Yes, that was me! Two or three fingers per hand. I think a lot of us do like that. I learned the proper way like a year ago. I sill had to force myself to put my fingers on the home row. The problem is I use their laptops in weird places li

I like Ruby for prototyping and quick throwaway scrips. I can write code really fast in it. Still my favorite language. But reading unfamiliar code or cooperating with others is hard. This is a good step forward in that direction.

I usually have my current project opened in Visual Studio Code at a separate desktop, so I can just swipe right and start coding. If there is an easy task I can complete quickly(not a lot of thinking) to hook me in it is pretty efficient.

The good thing about USB-C chargers, if you break the cable you can just buy a new one. No soldering necessary. I chew through a lot of MagSafe charges in the past few years. I fixed most of them, but you can't disassemble them without

MagSafe was great when the average battery life was under four hours. You have to be plugged-in in weird places. It saved my laptop a couple of times when I was at University. The problem is not just knocking over the whole laptop, but you

Dell has way better support than Apple. (I only have experience with it in Europe, but I think in the US would be the same) You don't need to take anywhere. You call support and a technician will show up at your office/house and c

Yes, Zoom won this battle, as Slack had won the first battle for chat, but they have to stay ahead of everyone else. Every company has Google or Microsoft suite for e-mail and for office stuff. If Zoom and Slack don't stay significant

You are right if you only consider individual users on their laptops, but companies also have to set up conference rooms with compatible equipment.

Yes, that's my daily routine. Sipping coffee and reviewing code. During the day I'm happy to re-review code if I asked for a modification because I only have to check a small part of the code and I'm already familiar with the
