No doubt it is the biggest. From the prospective of a Linux user however I'm not complaining. IMO it outperforms firefox vastly in terms of performance and all the different chrome-engine based browsers have been incredibly reliable: E

In a word: Depends. Microsoft for instance nailed it perfectly. For many years billions of devices ran cracked Windows copies and truthfully that didn't bother individual users in most countries. While illegal, realistically no one was

Interesting, I hadn't heard the Parallela name in years. I remember them making some utterly unrealistic promises about close to triple digit cpu core sbc's back in the first half of the 2010's and that was that.

Vim is absolutely awesome. I've been a heavy user for a good 15 years now, and yes, I was a very weird kid. Ever more so now, since covid-19 hit us, and the wfh saga began. I've been developing solely on vim. The only downside is

I'm still rocking a Pixel 2 xl and despite Google being a bit... Uninterested(probably the correct term) in the market outside the US(and thus severely limited in supply and even functionalities), I'll admit, it's a brilliant

It's awesome that you managed to keep going. For me it was a combination of my best friend from childhood passing away, a heartbreaker and ultimately moving back home in the other side of Europe in the beginning of winter, having to lo

In my case we are talking the second half of the 2000's. Mind you, I was significantly more interested in the skating from the late 90's and what was "modern" back then didn't have much appeal to me. I mean even the

Here's a shower thought I recently had. I was massively into skateboarding in the second half of my teenage years, up until I was 20-21 give or take. And while I was the typical computer nerd who wrote cli programs to solve his math ho

Daily and multiple flavours of SQL at that. At the moment it's a postgres, snowflake, mysql and n1ql merry go round.

I expected to hate WFH with a passion before the pandemic. The reality turned out to be very different from my expectations. I expected to be constantly distracted by the bookshelves, large living room and gym equipment but to my surprise m

True. Still wouldn't hurt to try politely before opening the largest window and tooling up a yoga mat and try baseball for the second time in my life. And yes, now I do regret not filming it...

Same, as far as firearms are concerned. But I do own several other Remington products and the quality is astonishing. One of which is a pocket knife and it's staggering how well made it is. And how outrageously sharp it is for that mat

I said most cases. What you are describing are the exceptions, not the rule. I don't remember how he phrased it exactly but about a year or two ago Andy Mueller tweeted that his biggest wish is that scikit-learn would eventually receiv

Apache Arrow? First thing the top of my head(given that I had to work with this these past few days), the python snowflake connector depends on it if you intend to fetch the results from snowflake as a pandas or dask dataframe. In other wor

Sadly the article neglects the single biggest problem in open source: very few people, or companies for that matter, are actively willing to contribute in any way, whether it be contributing with code or financially supporting a project. Ev

A worthy mention imo, Machine learning pocket reference by Matt Harrison: a tiny book packed with a ton of fundamental concepts and great examples.

Perhaps. But you see my point, right? There is something morally corrupt in offering "free" content while compiling a spam mailing list.

Netlify simply adds an abstraction layer over a task which I don't want to be performed __AT_ALL__. I don't care if I'm doing it myself or someone else is on a server somewhere on my behalf. It is utterly stupid to have all t

I'm not questioning the scenario where you have multiple contributors. This is one of the major reasons why the concept of ci/cd exists. The topic of the thread is __specifically__ personal blogs/pages and my point is as stro

Which brings us back to my original question: Why????? Why bother doing all that and relying on third party tooling, regardless of how simple it is to run a command? If this is what I wanted, I could write a 5 line shell script on a raspber

If the content is of any real value, I'd be more than happy to pay for it with money. 10 bucks? Sure, here you go. A much better option than getting emails such as "20 lessons I learned from my job interview" or whatever.
