As I said, make it fully self-contained without relying on "builds" or any other mumbo-jumbo, the way you would with sphinx or hugo or whatever. Essentially add a new html or markdown file, put whatever you want in it, let's

Some time ago I asked myself the same question. Ideally I wanted not so much a generator but rather something that is completely self-contained. Essentially add a markdown or html file, commit and move on. Surprisingly enough I couldn'

I agree. Many years ago I was really happy with medium as a reader. And the feed algorithm was decent enough. By no means the perfect content but for the most part it pushed forward things I was interested in. However, the monetization mode

A phone like this would be absolutely perfect in my world. Not as a daily phone or a phone at all but rather a bicycle computer with extended features. Shoving a 5-6-7 inch screen on the handlebar is borderline impossible and and anything b

At 1077, this is indeed a promising result. I genuinely hope this isn't yet another marketing stunt(of which we've seen a lot lately). Mind you, > The vaccine - called ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 - is being developed at unprecedented speed

Overall I've been very impressed with pine64 lately. They've been really stepping up their game. The tablet, phone and now this. All in the span of a month and a half, during quarantine/lock down. Good job pine64, keep it up!

Don't get me wrong, AI/ML is immensely more valuable than blockchain ever was. Not a single doubt in my mind. But in terms of exploitation for marketing purposes - it's a very similar story. That's what I'm referrin

Really familiar territory. I think the hype has poisoned the minds of many and at this state "AI/ML" has turned into a simple buzzword. Much like "blockchain" 2 years ago. And while I'm still as fascinated abou

I had never heard about it before reading the article, looked it up, and I agree with the article. This is yet another wretched idea like jsx. Kill it before it lays eggs!

Lab enterprise, yeah. They are utterly useful in our case since we are working on a branch per issue model, which makes it extremely easy for tracking and code reviews.

Same here. A guy was soaked in arrogance even though the test he submitted was average at best. "This looks good enough. when do I start?" Even worse: I had an encounter with another guy who refused to make a test because his CV d

I did the exact same thing on a website I used to own ~2011-2012. I went one step further and occasionally redirected the user to sites people generally shouldn't visit through a url shortner. The user disappeared within a few hours.

RIP. Thank you for all the great times I had watching MythBusters a kid! I remember I had to run from school to my house as a kid in order to catch the start of the show. It was awesome!

Perhaps. The theory is that if someone is to be fully comply to a licence, that means they have to walk the extra mile, like mention it, link it and all that jazz. Which is something I genuinely don't want anyone to go through. Basical

I've always felt like there's something fundamentally flawed with open source licenses. It seems that they are all promoting the openness of a fragment of code but at the same time twisting your hands ever so slightly when you sta

This is commonplace for most people when they start working on a new project, including myself. And sometimes when you are rushing through to meet some deadline it slips through and you end up realizing a lot later. In order to tackle this,

Actually I never do. Once a piece of hardware is no longer useful to me, I usually give it away to someone who might have use for it. Often that ends up being my parents which is arguably pointless, given how little they look after hardware

This is a very simplistic view. Keep in mind that before 2007 emigration was borderline impossible. The first time I set my foot on foreign soil was in 2002 in Greece. And that was for a holiday with an invitation which went through the Gre

Perhaps. It was 3 in the morning and I didn't go in depth. Largely because I felt the rhetoric I was referring to, which is the whole reason I refuse to read local news outlets or watch news or go on social media.
