I think I was 12 or 13 when I stumbled upon The Temple of the Golden Pavilion. Till this day is easily in my top 10 favourite books. And oddly enough almost 20 years later the same copy is sitting right besides me on the shelf. I am very in

I agree with the idea. I've expressed my fanatical hatred towards the modern web. And I'm not sure when or how it happened. Every website I open comes with a "compressed" javascript which is several megabytes. And yes, h

I haven't made it to the end of the video but here's my take on the subject: it is true - everyone is trying to create the exact same thing over and over again. But there are some key components that everyone misses. You can'

I think the root of all that goes way back. I've lived in Bulgaria for most of my life(with the exception of around 4-5 years during university). Back in the day when I was a kid and teenager(think 90's and early 2000's) gyps

To be fair I only resort to IDE's when I have to jump into a new and unfamiliar project. Once I know it well enough, I switch over to vim. Recently I got told that I might have a Stockholm syndrome. Jokes aside and all, the truth is on

Indeed, but that's also it's Achilles' heel at this point: it is progressing incredibly fast and most people will have a second thought about using something that might change drastically six months down the line. As I said I

Full disclosure: game development beyond the cli-based games and some simple asteroids-like games are the most I've ever done with games. I find them incredibly boring, both to make and play(kind of ironic considering up untilrecently

My thoughts exactly. The one problem with native apps is the resources and time you need to develop the same app for several platforms. That's all.

I've never had the opportunity to test Oracle DB at large, just some minor playing around with 12c many many years ago so I don't have an accurate view. That said, given my experience with other Oracle products and the fighter jet

Apart from being the most mature relational database, I would argue the code that runs it. It's pure poetry. I am yet to see code this clean anywhere. Just opening any source code file at random[1] will show you exactly what I mean. [1

At a glance, I don't see anything I haven't studied in high school and university. However, the fact that people are writing such books and offering them for free is absolutely astonishing. For that reason alone I'm purchasin

A real popular one would be QR codes. They were initially created to track manufacturing processes in the automotive industry. And you know how it is these days...

Though I've been a rust fanboy for quite a while (and I just switched jobs and since Thursday, I work in a company and more specifically team where rust is a primary language), I'm missing the point here. Happy days and all but...

I did something similar once - I had fiddled with my /etc/hosts and subsequently connected to the production database without realizing. I dropped a table but thankfully it wasn't much of a deal - the monitoring rang the bell

That's another thing I've noticed: having used all the languages I speak as primary for extended periods of time, it seems that I can entirely switch my way of thinking into either one. That is, my thoughts can operate with either

At the end of the day life isn't fair. That's said, if you look at last year's season when Ferrari had a more decent car (far worse thank Mercedes still), Leclerc with all his lack of experience and poor judgement at times, s

I gave it a go several years ago out of curiosity. Knowing 1 Germanic language(English), 1 Romance language(Spanish) and 1 Slavic(Bulgarian), I found it brutally easy. For the most part, I could understand the average conversation out of th

As I said, all of them have immense talent, but apart from the Red Bull-Vettel dominance era, Hamilton has always been in the best car and he was initially pushed forward by Ron Dennis of all people. I honestly can't think of anyone in

I'm on the opinion that both Albon and Giovinazzi have a lot of potential but they both face several problems. Albon is in the back seat at Red Bull and he is in the same position as Raikkonen when he was at Ferrari: as far as everyone

Nah, diesel gate was 2009. The idea for supplying engines to F1 was after Porsche retired from LMP1 in 2017 or 2018. Afaik the idea was to substitute LMP1 for the outrageous costs involved(despite their 3 consecutive world titles) and put t

I think there's more to it than the carbon-free tech for Honda(or any other manufacturer for that matter). F1 is getting eaten from the inside with politics and corruption. It takes a lot of effort to stay out in front. For the past ha

I fiddled around with it before Google open sourced tensorflow. Seems like the project is almost entirely abandoned-no commits for a year now. I suppose this may have something to do with the death of the lead developer Matt Taylor several

No, I don't, but that has nothing to do with security and everything to do with routing. Noise is just as high on other ports so relying on moving a port or even a password is redundant as far as security is concerned. Personally I onl

They get away with it because officially they don't do that. Some guy got a hold of his report and that's how he found out. Officially it's employment history, criminal record, and education history, nothing more. But the fac

Strangely enough, to a degree I envy this guy. I've been at my current job for over 8 years and up until a few months ago I was pretty happy. However politics caught up and I decided to leave. At the moment I have a few offers on the t

On that topic, I am all in favor of static sites hosted on github. But the static site generators, the way I see it, weren't self-contained. That is, you still needed to go through a build process. And after a lot of poking around and
