Emacs and vim are the only editors I have found, where I can disable syntax highlighting while highlighting certain terms/expressions without losing syntax support (indentation, ...).

I wonder if To-Do will be of the same quality as all the other services you get with Office 365 (they are awful). Looking at their other products, I don't think Microsoft is able to create something as easy to use, reliable and good lo

The primary reason I never really used Sublime is that it is not Open Source. I am happy with Emacs at the moment.

Using Postgres in Docker (for development of course!) is interestingly challenging, if you have a Windows host - due to the architecture. All our devs are working with macOS or Linux now.

Postgres is like the Apple of RDBMS - just kidding.

Someone clicked "Buy" instead of "Try" and I guess that was me.

On my machine it takes like 400ms until it's staged. When working in vim, staging really instant.

It's still not as fast as vim-fugitive for example. I know magit does more in nicer ways but the delay when staging, for example, is noticeable and can be annoying over time.

Interestingly, that Atlassian co-publishes this on GitHub, keeping the main development on BitBucket.

I also used it for quite some time. Switching back to Leuven now and then.

Postgres is not a good solution for this kind of data. I'd use Redis, but maybe there are even better products.

I have used that, too, works like a charm.

I write lectures for university in org-mode. The PDF export (org -> LaTeX -> PDF) with org-beamer and a theme makes it a nice looking presentation. I can check into Git, can copy and paste layouts, have a great search and don't h

Same here. Even though there are some things that are annoying or in a bad shape, all in alle macOS and the ecosystem makes me more productive than Windows or Linux. As a developer, I also notice that a lot of tools don't work well on

That's a true point. Maybe it's more about the culture. What I actually don't like about Java the language is the boilerplate; it's a very verbose language. I don't like that anymore. I am infected with LISP now.

by cygned 10y ago
I'd say, in the end it comes down to two problems; Java's verbosity and the fact, that a lot of frameworks do "magic", things happen without explcitely asking for it (the JPA is a nice example for that).

Even though Scala might not be the answer, I still think we need a replacement for Java. All the Java enterprise projects I know suffer from the same problems; incredible complex project structures, a lot of "dead code" (e.g. empt

RDBMS are more capable in multiple aspects; may it be speed, may it be functionality. I often see developers doing all kinds of things in the application layer; enforcing constraints, manipulating data, even sorting and filtering. It's

We have a node.js monolith that is currently being moved to AWS and split into microservices. Since I am the tech lead, I am in the position to decide that we are going to use Clojure where it makes sense; that is, everything that's be

It's interesting how annoying Facebook becomes when you don't come back for a while; push notifications on your phone, if you have the app installed, and emails about what you missed.

I left Facebook three years ago or so. It did not offer any value for me - and I couldn't stand the quality of "information" on that platform. To much crazy stuff in my stream, things I am not interested in, stupid games, ads

That's actually a quite good website style. Very readable, loads fast, no popups and no social sharing.

I am very concerned that feature toggles add unnecessary complexity to the code. With Lisp Macros, for example, that would actually be quite elegant but in a language like JavaScript, we'd end up with a bunch of if'a here and ther
