Balkan person here: I can (mostly) understand anyone from Eastern Europe (Slovakia, Czechia, Russia) if they speak really slowly and use basic words and phrases.

For the past ~3 weeks Medium has blocked virtually every article I wanted to read and is asking me to pay. Most of these are programming tutorials related to some obscure Rails features. Honestly, I feel like Medium is the worse place to pu

Just yesterday I was almost killed while driving back home, because some jackass left a camo-painted trailer in a poorly-lit alley right next to my home. There is no “autopilot” that could spot it in the dusk / sunset. Until Tesla adop

The real shitshow starts when the CFO becomes the CEO (as is usually the case), so Intel is pretty much dead as is US tech innovation on this scale (until VCs do what China does and start pouring money into hard stuff, not just fluffy softw

I remember my college professor (back in 2007) betting his career that XSLT would become the defacto standard. It’s always a reminder to myself to not get blindsided by being stuck/locked into a single technology.

Apple Music is shit. Period. I rage quit the 6 month free trial the other day after “Siri, play the US top charts” resulted in “Sure, here’s the top charts in Serbia”. I’m not in Serbia. Their discovery is crap, YouTube has better music rec

But Western Europe (EU) has the benefit of temporarily importing cheap East European (Romania, Poland etc) under skilled workers to do the heavy lifting.

Elixir is a super fun language but suffers (at least in my opinion) from a serious lack of remote jobs. And I suspect it’s because of the nature of Elixir jobs in general: load-heavy and systems-heavy tasks for critical roles (fintech etc),

Depends, us old people who saw both sides of the coin feel like today’s youth is crippled, they have no motive to study or be competitive, it’s mostly look pretty and be out with friends all day long.

Isn’t Laravel the worst performing framework out there right now, like even Rails looks like a viable option in terms of speed?

Honest question: does it make sense to learn Ruby in 2020, with the hopes to actually have a job with it for the next 5 years? I want to leave JS world for something different, and I’m evaluating Elixir, Python and even PHP. What I’m lookin

Interesting, I on the other hand remember things “geographically”. It’s like I have precise GPS locations in my head attached to memories. In order to recall something, I usually try to remember where the memory “happened”, once I figure ou

This. Oh my god this. I can't believe people put up a TikTok-value photo on a professional site and wonder why they aren't getting 6 figure offers - no matter how technical they are.

Are you using an external TB3 dock? That's what's causing KPs for me. If the MBP goes to sleep, it goes into endless reboot cycles. Currently keeping it running 24/7.

I’ve had Siri disabled for years. Even the basic “call home” works every 3rd time. I try it for a few minutes with every new iOS update only to see it’s still the same dumbster fire.

We run a fairly large business on it, and it's great from a UI standpoint, but for anything complex (such as reporting) we do dumps to Google Sheets where we run formulas to extract what we need. If I was starting all over, most likely

What I find irritating is the fact that you have to get the 2ghz CPU in order to be able to get 32gb RAM. It feels like artificial price inflation because the refresh is definitely not as exciting as people had hoped (no 14" micro LED
