I'm currently looking for a job, and in my experience everything is at least hybrid, and a lot of places are full remote. I've not interviewed with a single full on-site company so far. Remote-first companies, if they have a good

This is my experience as well. Going on a long run if you ate garbage the day before feels terrible, so you get conditioned to eat clean.

If you look at the current crash on a Log chart it's not as bad as the 2018 crash was (yet?). I personally don't hold any crypto and don't care much for it either way, but it seems reasonable that companies that fundamentally

> Most men get somewhere like 0-4 matches a week and most women get somewhere like 100-1000. That’s a 25x difference best-case scenario and often it’s over 100x. Which is kind of insane considering there are about 50/50 men to women

Agreed, "normies" is a fine shorthand for "people who are not concerned with the niche thing we're currently talking about", but seeing people who think of it as an actual category that they judge people by is a dan

there were huge protests against vaccines and mask mandates not too long ago (not making a moral judgment here, just saying people are definitely not afraid to voice their opinions loudly in public on some issues)

I'm happy with it. Here's a tip for anyone with docker compatibility problems: If you add `platform: "linux/amd64"` to your docker-compose (there's also a similar command for Dockerfile iirc), it just gets the

One thing I'd be curious to know is how large the current open platforms are compared to those of 20+ years ago. The internet as a whole is so much bigger that it's hard to maintain a sense of scale. For example, how many people a

Yeah, same in Austria. Energy prices on my provider are going up by 90%, many food items are up 50%+ since the start of the year, and outside of some grumbling in private conversations I've not heard much complaining.

The MacBook Pro 14"/16" can charge via USB-C, so almost certainly.

Lenovo M14. The design and hinge is great and the panel is fine, but I actually wouldn't recommend this one as it's 1920x1080 which scales poorly with MacOS. For VSCode or a web browser it's fine though, I just use CMD+(+&#x2

M2 will be faster in single core, M1 Pro will be faster in multi core. Taking Apple's 20% claim at face value: Geekbench Single Core - M1, M1 Pro: 1700, M2: 2040 Geekbench Multi Core - M1: 7700, M1 Pro 8-core: 9000, M2: 9200, M1 Pro 10

Think about what you do and what you need. I bought an M1 MacBook Air to keep me going until the Apple Silicon 16" Pro, and ended up staying with the Air. 16GB is fine for a typical web dev setup with three Docker containers. When I go

Mario Run was also just not a very good game (this is obviously an opinion, but still…). I wonder how it would go if Nintendo tried releasing an actual good game for $10 or some other amount, not an infinite runner with a Mario skin.

The Django documentation is outstanding. Django was my first time doing web programming, and the docs both got me up and running in no time, and also repeatedly surprised me by having easy to understand answers to whatever obscure thing I w

It’s true that there are a lot of different ways to do the same thing, but the good news is you’re doing the same thing and the difference is mostly just syntax. Someone who has used Redux extensively can get up and running with Zustand in

Not great. A bit more than two years ago my wife went back home to Japan to give birth to our daughter. Then covid hit and her stay there was prolonged. At some point she decided she'd rather stay there permanently. I accepted that she

The irony of it is that if Google's algorithm made sense at all (Why is a recipe being downranked for being older than one year?), people wouldn't have to do all of this stuff. It's a vicious circle and I don't know if i

Looks interesting, especially the frankenstein model in the ThinkPad T41 chassis as that has a lovely keyboard and display aspect ratio. However I think the biggest problem to tackle here is not the hardware but the software. If it runs for

Not entirely on topic, but is there anything like a “generic component library” that just gives accessibility and has as little opinion about design as possible, but can them be styled with Tailwind? I think Tailwind is a great way to get a

This is absolutely true. But if cleaning your data takes barely any compute and only fails less than 1% of the time, it’s splitting hairs. The way I think about it is, how would I write it if performance didn’t matter? And then from that po

I tend to prefer the approach of fetch A wash A fetch B wash B in terms of being easier to read. Of course sometimes there are performance benefits to firing off all the requests right at the start. Anyway I definitely agree th
