If you un-fuck Win 11 (shout out to O&O ShutUp10++ which should be mandatory for any user), PowerToys and WSL it's _probably_ the best dev environment you can get. Even so, the trajectory is not great. I wonder where the point of r

A lot of people still have a negative opinion on .NET and C# where in fact it's probably the most productive combo and bang for your buck ever made when it comes to the quality of the actual framework, capabilities of the C# language (

Honestly, I think the actor who played Will (him being Yun Tianming) was the closest to his book counterpart as a character. He was the best part of the show for me. For example, I'm sure Benedict Wong can play Da Shi because he's

For a person that has read the books a couple of times (and loved the Tencent show) the Netflix version is so shallow and lacking nuance that I barely finished it. Benioff and Weiss have picked some "wow" moments from the book wit

Don't know how I feel about the article. There's some good advice sprinkled in there, but then there's complete nonsense in the form of "read while shaving". Most of the accomplishments smell like bullshit to me, bu

Anecdotal info for myself - I learn by far most efficiently when I write on paper. Here's an interesting quote from "How to learn mathematics - The asterisk method"[0] around that: > Copying material by hand is important b

I think Martin has a lot more to answer for as far as the sorry state of software today goes. Watching his discussion with Casey Muratori on GitHub last year was great. Not many people saw it, but boy does he compare poorly to a truly capab

I'm very close to returning to the high seas for content... A personal recent anecdote. I wanted to watch Interstellar again a few days ago. Beginning of the previous month I saw it on Prime/Netflix or both (can't remember).

Yuck. Definitely not for me. I'll stick with Inconsolata.

Of course. However, that wasn't my point which was that the world won't stop turning if TSMC suddenly vanishes.

I don't like fonts where the zero has a dot (or nothing). I need to have that slash in my zeroes.

For me nothing can dethrone Inconsolata[0], there's just something elegant about it that I haven't found in other fonts I've tried. Been using it for almost ten years now. Also I don't like ligatures... [0]: https:/
