Great work as always! I still remember looking at your site when I was working on an ETL system for sensor data and realising in frustration how MariaDB was missing all the nice modern SQL functions like merge.

It's not very expensive, though I can't give you a price since I live in a rental apartment. As for rust: not a concern with stainless steel, our kitchen is almost 20 years old and the steel countertop and sink still look immacula

If function is your primary concern, then the only material to choose is the one professional kitchens use: stainless steel. It won't be as good looking depending on your tastes, but it will beat most stones on other properties

Isn't soapstone closely related to asbestos? I'd expect it to produce the same type of powder that makes asbestos so dangerous (and on top of silicosis it can give you mesothelioma)

I agree! I have a cargo bike with a gates drive. Mine is a mid-drive, therefore it is paired with a nexus hub. This has some advantages over rear hub drive, including a much more smooth delivery of power thanks to the inclusion of a torque

$1900 is a lot of money for a single-speed (not fixed gear as incorrectly claimed in the article) e-bike with cheap components, an huge external battery placed in the worst possible spot and an hub drive

Typescript is the only reason I (occasionally) do some front-end work. The backlash against static typing in an age where we can have very sophisticated static type systems with dynamic-like DX due to great type inference is really saddenin

Don't forget that in v1->V2 they deprecated influxQL, their half-baked implementation of a SQL-like query language with half the semantics of SQL and plenty of footguns. And now after telling everyone how much better flux was going

I really like your approach of treating notes like a pipeline. I keep several lists and I noticed the only useful ones are those where I regularly cross item off and add new items. All other lists end up being cemeteries for ideas

I think you described the problem very well: the premise behind PKM/note taking is to boost productivity. If you assume this to be true, the only way to be productive is to stop tweaking endlessly and accept the limitations of your too

I would think so too... and even if it doesn't fit you perfectly at least you learn a lot on the way. If you just play with plugins and tweak existing tools, I believe you won't learn anything of substance

Did you ask an LLM to write this wall of text?
103.
by bafe 3y ago
I had the same impression. They constantly tweak the tools instead of just accepting for what it is and taking their notes/writing their documents. I'd argue if you care so much about note taking software it would be a better use

React context is is just a way to bridge props deep down a component hierarchy. By combining it with an appropriate hook you can almost obtain the effect of a state manager like redux. There are limits to this however; being just a way to

Indeed, seeing hooks as closures helped me to understand how they are use for state management. It's really a "poor man's object" with all the advantages of FP in terms of reasoning about state changes, lack of side effe

I just write my first fairly complex react app. As a mostly backend/tool Dev with good knowledge of functional programming I agree with this. I could solve almost any problem using hooks + context and memo. I briefly considered using R

I think from my side the problem could be expressed in a more nuanced way: it's usually not the originator of some idea to be the annoying techbro trying to evangelize everyone. In most cases the culprits are early adopters thinking th

The buddy thing (and most of the other aspects) is the same for Switzerland. Additionally, you need to integrate 26 systems built with different technologies, one for each Canton. And some of them won't even have an API but will uploa

This is the most painful aspect of WSL2: if your org forces you to use a VPN your WSL2 is almost totally isolated from the network. Interestingly we have the same problem with our VPN and docker

I agree with most of your sentiment. I also came to associate the proponents of these system with a a set of other traits: - obsession with tools and methods over outcomes - busywork - insistence with their approach being the only right one

To me these intricate classification system fall in the same category as people developing very advanced note taking setups, dotfile management tools or fully customisable, reproducible shell/IDE/editor setups. Very nice ideas on

The original plan was rejected because it was too vague regarding who would implement it. The counter-proposal from the city was accepted, therefore they will now start to work on how to best implement it. Unfortunately a large sum of the m

40k sounds insane. I will spend around 2k for suit+shoes and around 5k for a restaurant dinner for 30 people. My fiancé spend around 2k for dress and accessories. And we didn't go cheap on anything

I agree with you on the energy use. Even more so because the peak of cooling demand corresponds very well with the peak of PV energy production. If the system is well designed, cooling using an efficient split AC unit will be almost free. B
