Nice and clean static layout. A rarity these days when blog post web pages tend to be overloaded with headers, footers, and various crappy interactive elements.

I noticed that oftentimes software developers on senior levels (and "architects" too) when faced with a problem, would start speculating about solutions without gathering the necessary information about the problem first. They wo

Regarding fonts, there is no single monospace font that fits the bill everywhere. A font may render beautifully or look completely unacceptable depending on a variety of factors. I personally prefer the following fonts: * Linux, normal dp

It doesn't look like the LFE project on github received many commits recently. Is this a sign of maturity or abandonment?

With VirtualBox, Windows guests can be configured to use 3d acceleration with just installing guest additions. With qemu (virt-manager), it's a major pain in the ass. I spent a couple of hours trying to figure it out, and it got me n

It does too much. For example: > $ git sync > # Stash, Fetch, Auto-Merge/Rebase, Push, and Unstash Good luck if any of this actions fail. With raw Git you can easily correct the problem and move on. With leGit, you'll be

How does this work with numerous Emacs keybindings which surely conflict with browser shortcuts? If you press Ctrl-N in the Cloudmacs, will your cursor move one line down or will the browser open a new window?

Wow! The "New Magic Keyboard." I wonder what it is. Oh, wait, it's the old scissor keyboard. "Largest Retina display ever." With 226ppi... But the Esc key is back! I'm so excited! /s

I'd rather there was a single way to do something useful in Raku than multiple ways to do something completely useless.

Letters are too close to each other on a normal DPI screen with the 10-12 point size font. Maybe it looks fine on a high DPI screen, but on my screen it illegible. For the reference, I prefer Iosevka and Fira Code for code editing and con

Using third party package repositories is a really, really smart move. This way you can expand the universe of available C++ packages by combining different package management systems. In my experience, Conan is already pretty solid. But

"loop running in the system process while holding a vital NTFS lock" It's not about the seven instructions. It's the lock that's been held while doing a busy loop.

Iosevka rocks. Regular, narrow width, nice looking both on low dpi and high dpi screens. It's the best for writing code IMO.

If you were doing software development in the 80es when C++ was born, you wouldn't be asking this question. You'd either choose a language that allows undefined behavior and write a program that completes the work today or a lang

Scala is too big and complex. I tried to learn it, but ended up using it as a better Java with some functional features like pattern matching. I felt like it wasn't worth to continue mastering Scala after a certain point.

I once lost my phone (with a SIM card in it). So I went to a store that served my operator, asked to give me a new SIM. They promptly gave me a new SIM and activated it on the spot. The only piece of information I gave them was my phone

Funny thing, I didn't even notice. In fact, being heavily reliant on Git and Github, I encountered maybe one or two issues a year when I couldn't push to Github because it was unavailable. In those cases, the progress can still
