To make your comparison with fat jars closer to the point, imagine you got the source code from the owner of that old obsolete website, and need to use it in your newest Java project, with the bleeding version of Java, gradle and all the st

Be curious. It's not a sketching app. It's literally endless paper w/ endless zoom levels, which is pretty sick to use in practice. Basically instead of creating "nested" board, you just zoom into the area/lett

I'm not saying it's easy. But hey, StackOverflow threads on how to post form with checkbox with "false" value in it are pretty telling. I've done forms with Qt, QML and Flutter, and it's completely different ex

I think many westerners do not realize the sheer scale of incompetence and lack of standards or protocols in Soviet/post-Soviet organization. Bundled with corruption and misaligned incentive structures, it's ridiculously dumb and

As for me, forms are the single most important aspect of many web apps. Including critical ones for the society (banking, tickets, taxes, etc). Large part of my frustration with the state of web stems from how terrible experience with (crea

That's true. Everyone in Ukraine now know the name "Bayraktar" and videos from the drone's camera showing destroying russian vehicles in action has been a huge morale boost for people. I think decent-quality video record

Right, agree with <10 sec rule. But, again, the main promise of second brain tools is to keep your "second memory" layer organized. Apple Notes are good enough for copypasting links and excerpts you want to make searchable late

Ask sane russians two simple questions - "When did WWII started?" and "Who won the WWII?". Most likely you'll hear "1941" and "Soviets" as a response. It's important to understand that russi
