I have a small K3S cluster of RPIs and a Synology NAS. I don't trust the RPIs to store any meaningful data so I use the NAS to store and backup everything. The cluster can request persistent volumes and they are automatically created a

It may be burn out, or not. But if you've been working without a significant break (or been in a situation where you needed to introspect, fast and hard), you may benefit from taking a sabbatical, ideally more than 6 months. It will co

Writing, one of the most versatile and compounding skills you can learn. When used for yourself, it's a tool for thinking, organizing information, and understand your inner workings. When interacting with others, it can be persuasive b

I also use org to clock my hours. The clocktable makes it even better to aggregate/report your hours. You can look at a 1-month block separated by week (I report my hours weekly) with the granularity you want. A very versatile tool! h

CRDTs are really cool if your merging function behaves intuitively in the context of your application . You can easily implement a distributed VCS by using the Last Writer Wins, but it would be a nightmare to work with – imagine having you

I purposefully avoid setting yearly goals, as so much can happen during that time. My real goals can change (and make me feel bad for being so indecisive) or I could pass good opportunities by being too focused on a different goal. What I l

I really fear for the day I need to debug some AI-generated legacy code. It's not really the algorithmic part that scares me, but the naming and code architecture. These AI seem so confident when they output BS that it makes you doubt

I've rarely seen Apple respond by releasing a public statement. The most you get is a low-key "oh your app passes the review now".

I really like how the Advent of Code is structured. Not only it makes you think about how to solve the problem, it pushes you to architecture your code defensively so when you get the new requirements in part 2, you have the least amount of

I switched from Vim to Spacemacs years ago and I was generally willing to roll up my sleeves to configure it in exchange for the additional power and freedom. But now, with the maturity of these pre-configured distributions and the nice thi

I can code for fun on my "work" desk, but I need to clear the space of work-related items: any tab, terminal session, Slack/emails (!), IDE window, note, Docker container, VPN,... For me, what separates work from fun is being

When there are loopholes, there are people exploiting them. They bear the risks and reap the rewards until the opportunities dry up. But... maybe it's a win-win situation with the employers: they have a worker good enough for the salar

I would say any itch you get during the day could be a 100k idea, but don't forget to search if there is a suitable solution. I think too many programmers want to code the wheel when something already exists. And if it's unwieldy

I like the way the idea of a goal hierarchy as presented in Grit : one top-level goal which is the unifying theme of your foreseeable life, mid-level goals that are the different topics to help your reach your top-level goal, and the low-l

In Switzerland you also need to have a notary to register the company. However, some companies saw the opportunity to streamline the process and offer a Notary-as-a-Service so you create the company from home (mostly) and don't need to

One could argue that Emacs is a lisp VM specialized for text edition, and in that sense does only one thing and does it well.

I've not experienced it but I still find it quite scary: automated account termination with no tangible recourse. Get your account flagged by a black box and you could loose decades of emails, contacts, bookmarks and favorites,... Then

It may be a (over?)reaction to the generally poor working conditions in an office that suddenly do not exist when working at home. No manager passing by and disrupting your focus, no commute nightmare, no open space with distractions all ar

What's your wife opinion on it ? If she wants them too, then it's not too late to try. Yes, there are more risks but the window is not totally closed. If you can't or won't conceive, then adoption is always a possibility

I wanted to ask too. These people seem to be very productive even without the kid part. So, how can they achieve that without compromising anywhere ?

Tags are beautiful. They enable a non-hierarchical way of linking elements together so they form a graph. And graphs are beautiful. But they are also messy and bring a whole cohort of problems that you wouldn't have with trees. The pro

I was like that until I consciously started doing more and thinking less (about the ramifications). You need to start small and solve a small pain for you, then go from there. You will encounter problems but you will have your full mental p

It's not a post about cheering people up for social purpose, it's explaining there are few problems that are "too difficult" and most can be solved by doing the work.

You need to improve along two axes: proficiency and knowledge. Proficiency is simply training your muscle memory when editing code and trying to use the sharpest tool at your disposal (eg. forcing yourself to use the "right" text

I love watching the WASM space evolve and get use cases like that. I feel it could become an easier Docker for people wanting to try programming with little fuss.
