My current strategy is twofold: - First, allow yourself to feel whatever you will feel. This is unavoidable. Let it be. Not only you are not your work, you are not what you feel. - Also, recognize that no right decision can be made in a sta

What I want are recipes in metric measurements. I literally don't understand anything about the recipes I can find online.

This shows how insanely optimized game engines are, and game development in general. All enterprise software is optimised in man/hours, as in the maximum amount of features for some given hours of work. Enterprise customers will then i

Famously, they didn't support Windows for the first decade of their existence, and that did cost them a tremendous amount of market share against MySQL. By their technical merits, PostgreSQL should be the most used DB.

I think looking only at technologies is the wrong approach. The underlying concepts stay the same. Your own experience is much improved. Some old technology gets replaced? I celebrate the demise of Flash. I am not Flash or even a Flash deve

No it doesn't, that's the point. The X server is restarted, my apps are still open.

Dear future Wayland thingie: Stop closing all my apps if you have an error. Then I will consider using it. So far all the software I use runs in X.

To this day, there isn't a font that I hate more than I hate Courier New. Don't know why, it is of course not logical, but it is.

You are confusing two concepts here. In InnoDB, the tables are always ordered by the primary key when written to actual disk storage. This is not the same as "having a primary key", Postgres also has primary keys. It just stores t

There are no other software products called Firefox (right now). Foxes are not software. There is Microsoft Windows Ink which does handwriting recognition. Think about namespaces, in the software namespace, Ink is a loaded term, and most of

The grid system of wxWidgets also works like that. It has drag-and-drop design tools, and copy-paste, and it can be written programmatically. So the best of both worlds exists, and it is just not used enough. wxWidgets has Python bindings.

Why would it be called Ink if it doesn't recognize my laptop's pen? It makes no sense, just more search engine noise. FYI: I use the pen with a gnome app called Write, in Ubuntu 22.04.

> Is it though? For Mojo to be a compatible replacement for Python, it would need to match the Python C ABI and the greater set of the standard library in a bug-for-bug compatible way. Isn't this going backwards? If Mojo delivers w

No colours? Any non-coloured terminal feels dead to me. Half of the things I do in my dot files are related to adding colours. Including some long colour parameter string to be used with midnight commander.

Good, hopefully this will be the second implementation that the W3C standards committee will accept, so SQLite is an approved web standard instead of the disappointing thing we got.

I would say Nakamura, the Botez sisters, and Ben Finegold are bigger factors than chess boxing. But in general, yes, YouTube streamers are making the sport more popular.

You can set up some AI to let you win 80% of times, and let the game to the real players. That way, you will feel better. I dabble in the realm of simracing. Man, what would I do for a 50% win rate. Every race is hard fought, and the possib

You can also read the QR code from your Linux laptop. Install zbar-tools and use zbarcam from the command line. It will read the QR code using the webcam, and now you have the Wi-Fi credentials. Or any other data in the QR code.

Firefox, for me, was very slow between 2019 and 2021. I used Firefox exclusively from 2016 to 2020, until I had to stop, because it just became unusable. Now in 2023 Firefox is fast again, but so is Edge. As soon as Edge was usable, I ditch

I think this is the only way we can have a good search engine. It is potentially an invasion of privacy, but also is excellent to get good search results. Not everything is black and white. Search results have been abysmally bad for a decad

That argument sounds like change for the sake of change. Programmed obsolescence for programming languages. We should move on when we find something that is objectively better, not because some years have passed. And honestly, the only new

I think the problem here is one of total disregard of any performance issues. To me this is the kind of people who only write SQL through ORM, suffers constantly from the N+1 problem, and say that RDMS are slow compared to key/value st
