Donated. Never used Blender and most likely never will, but to see such professional software going on and facing the big corporations gives me faith.

At my daily job, our production servers are Linuxes, and we deploy our .NET code (fairly complex web app) just fine, using the same techniques you would with other technologies like CLI GitLab CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes... Forget about

I don't think any of those are better than WinForms. After all these years, I still use WinForms for prototyping, nothing faster comes to mind. If I need a mockup to show to my manager in 15 minutes, nothing beats WinForms.

Exactly this. Imagine the slowest consultant firms, with the most powerpointists, huge hourly rates for very simple projects that pay peanuts for the not so bright devs... These are the companies with the connections that are getting the mo

I don't know about the movie, but in his own book it's quite clear he's a moron that sees anyone in the enemy lines as less than human and feels nothing after killing. And, in many instances back home, he also see many fellow

The team working on their Realsense depth cameras was doing great work on the SDK, in my opinion. Frequent releases, GitHub repo with good enough user interaction, examples, bug fixing and feedback.

If you do it rightly (softly, no brisk movements) in Spain, the other driver knows this is the way. No honking and no yelling

In Europe (or at least in Spain) a very common ocurrence while driving is getting to a crossroad of slow traffic where you have to yield. But traffic is heavy and you have no room to, for example, turn right. So it's common practice to

What do europeans have to show for the money spent in the "Next Generation" plans? Allocating the money and printing feel good stories on regulations is the EASY part. Now, delivering on the cut-throat tech competition on a reason

How about the consequences of US proxy wars? Not a word about the reasons mediterranean european countries keep getting floods of displaced refugees. Maybe if the US stopped bombing their countries, we'd stop getting so many.

With Nord Stream, the elites tried to gaslight their population using the media into believeng an stupid made-up story about how Russia blowed up their own pipe. Very convenient for the US, not so for the EU

It's about the execution. The plan is just the first step. Basically, China is centralized politically and decentraliced economically. The soviet centralized everything... even meat prices, a recipe for disaster. They plan the outcome,

Someday, an LLM will send every human an 'obvious' pattern (maybe a weird protein or something like that) and we'll all fail to notice and that day Skynet decides it no longer has a use for us

I agree on the desktop version (Windows), but Android's getting crappier by the time. Recently, many sites won't fix the viewport horizontally. Why such a major bug happens is baffling

Altough of course you're right, let's play devil's advocate an imagine a world without Nobel prices. Laypeople needs a simple way to know who's who in advanced research fields, without Nobel prices (or any other commitee

Some things leave a permanent mark on you. Try being a workaholic a few years and tell me later how easy is to disconnect, and rejoin with familiy and friends.

I struggled badly on a pair programming position. It's not like I don't like reviews or cannot work alongside another person. It's I cannot learn while someone is talking to me or trying to make me place the cursor somewhere.

So I suposse building an aircraft involves standard bolts, procedures, testing and much more standarized ways. In contrast a spacecraft like the shuttle, faces much harsher conditions and, as not many of these were built, I expect more manu

Lane has spoiled essay for me. I've read all his books and he's in the right place on the readability-complexity spectrum for my case. I can't find any other author, on any other field, I can learn so much from without being

Didn't try AltWinDirStat, but did try FastWinDirStat. The thing is, FastWinDirStat uses a licensed propietary component. No problem for me, but the author did have some back and forth with another user on GitHub. Seems FastWinDirStat l

Joe Studwell - How Asia works, and all Nick Lane. The first is, despite its name, a manual for countries on how to win at capitalism. A must read to understand what works and what doesn't in macroeconomics. About Nick Lane, he's a

Nowadays, I'm re-reading books that left a mark on me. It's not uncommon to discover that some clever ideas I thought I came up with have been, in fact, read in a book. Humbling. The thing is, you cannot get to that point by follo

These are the little things you don't notice but make a difference. It's a pity this kind of attention to detail is becoming obsolete in favor of flashy but unconvenient UI I expect this behaviour on any list I find in a Windows a

To me, Paint.NET hits the right complexity spot. Offers basic functionality, that allows the user to easily achieve most goals. It's not intended as a Photoshop replacement (GIMP tries to) or a professional tool. But most other users w

First, at least in europe, regulations won't allow carmakers to build basic cars. Cars are required to be online for an emergency call in case of accident. Plus all fancy systems like lane keeping are now compulsory. So you can't
