I find that terminal apps are a lot more respectful of my machine's resources and whatever workflow I want to build. I can make them work like I want to. GUI apps make me work the way they want to, which as an incorrigible non-confor

We're SWEs; the temptation to min/max ourselves is quite high. And it's not a bad impulse! I'm a Vim user; I've obviously invested a lot of time in editing efficiency (e.g. I'm great at looking up docs in the t

This comes up from time to time and I always struggle to succinctly make the point I'm about to try and make again here: Your brain is a good natural limit on complexity. I'm not saying there aren't goals that merit tools to

You're erecting a pretty detailed strawman here. It's not that "raw dogging" code makes you a better developer; it's that specifically jump-to-definition and autocomplete make it too easy to create code bases that m

Super enjoyed reading this post as usual. I want to make a small leap. It takes extraordinary effort and resources to gather data, whether that's on your ETL SaaS, your health insurance, your congressional candidates' policies, or

My partner and I have two kids (21 months and 5 weeks) and we absolutely hate the caretaking phase... which lasts a year? Our oldest can be pretty hilarious now so she's net worth it, but it was a journey of misery to get here, and t

I did this for Freevo box in like 2008 (I think I used Slax). There was a fair amount of overhead to make the different overlay images, but it was very bulletproof.

Guys if this is happening in Tokyo of all places, no one else has any excuse.

The answer is to require a high percentage of test coverage. Then you skim through the code to get a general idea of what it does and how, then scrutinize the tests to verify they enforce that understanding. This does three things. First, i

Yup, it's entirely down to zoning.

We just bought a place in a dense area of The Hague, and I run a table saw + shop vac frequently as we renovate. No complaints yet, just keep my hours between 10-6. Lots of other neighbors doing similar stuff too. There are lots of benefits

Exactly that: you've got a limited number of lots and a limited number of units that can be on those lots, so max the value of those units. With the lot supply and zoning, that equals replacing whatever might already be there with a gi

More points: Basically everything is soaked in flame retardant: your insulation, your wiring, your furniture, your appliances. Heater technology is way safer now. Central heat is a lot more prevalent, and space heaters are a lot less likely

This is essentially Neil Postman's argument in Amusing Ourselves to Death [0]. The basic idea is that the medium matters, and different media are better suited to different types of messages and discourse. This is why I rail against

A picture of you with the subject "I know what you were looking at when I took this picture of you" is pretty good blackmail--I think there's an active campaign doing this even.

I feel like I've seen some stuff like this circulating around, mostly used to mic drop anti-AI people like "100% of people against AI art can't even accurately point out AI art." I'm an anti-AI person, and this miss

There have only ever been 3 models: NNTP, email, and IRC. ActivityPub is email, that is different servers have different data. Bluesky is NNTP, that is different servers have the same data. I think a lot of this work is cool, in particular

Do whatever QA is doing to find your bugs before they find them. Then spend 20% of the time to automate 80% of that work. That might be unit testing, it might be selenium, it might be some different linter settings, but keep the focus on ba

Same here; I've always intuited that this would limit the generated tuples. I'm too lazy to do it now, but I wonder if other DB engines also perform this optimization that effectively makes filtering in JOIN conditions equivalent

I'm genuinely super curious because I hear this a lot, but the deepest I ever got was... 5 apps? Do you have some kind of like generic cover letter/resume you fire off 3 times a day? What is your process?

Everyone's brain is different, but I'd bet you'd be surprised by how good you are at things you rely on an IDE for (autocomplete, go to definition). For other stuff, sed and grep will cover 90% of your needs. Source: me, and

It's as simple as you'd expect: AirPods and beats have their SPLs hardcoded, everything else is estimated based on volume control. Although Apple says there can be bad interactions between this and live listen, so maybe there is s
