You can stop Facebook scraping your site via robots.txt, so the control is at the publisher. If FB crawler is blocked then it can't scrape anything and only the link is posted.

AppEngine also supports PHP which is also a serverless "LAMP" stack.

It's strange they write about this so openly. Aren't they wary that someone at Google Fights will read it and they will try blocking them? (E.g. by scrambling the page's code)

Zettelkasten can be done on paper too. Its point is making connections between notes and being able to do discover new connections giving you new insights. Simple note taking just records what you know and think. ZH can lead to new underst

You can have tags instead of hierarchy and then you also have a network. So instead of "java notes" and "design notes" you add the "java" and "design" tag, etc., so you can approach your notes in an

For static sites Firebase is quite good. You get a global CDN by default and the free plan is enough for most personal purposes.

Heroku, Netlify, AppEngine, Firebase, etc. lots of possibilities to host a personal site completely free.

True, but remember when many apps were not made for Linux, because it was not worth it? With Electron at least we have apps like VSCode for Linux too. Not ideal, but better than nothing.

Yep, the same case. Only I read that those old COBOL programs are a huge mess of spaghetti code, so you are well paid, but you have to put up with ugly, hard to maintain code. I'd rather work on something nicer for less money.

Even if C++ is used less than before it won't die off and C++ experts can demand more money especially because there are fewer of them as most programmers move to more modern languages.

There's donation, but I wonder what percent of users actually donate. Also, what if people donate and there are various contributors to the project beside the main author(s)? Should they get a piece too?

I don't like Apple's business strategy of overpricing. A linux laptop is much cheaper and for my purposes just as suitable.

I use Windows (not 10), I like the convenience of it that most things, drivers work out of the box. But given the direction Microsoft is going it's likely my next machine will run Linux. All the software I use is available for Linux t

You can use Emacs just for org mode even if you use vscode for coding.

Which one do people here recommend?
175.
by dmortin 6y ago
It's a useful tool even if you use something else for coding. Org mode is very good. Magit too.

If you have to look something up or solve something and it takes more than 2 minutes then write the solution down in your notes. Lots of times you'll need that again and you won't have to search for it again.

Agreed. There is no point in searching the docs if google takes me to the right place instantly. It's just more efficient.

These days you can just google to get answers quickly, just like for any other tool. Stackoverflow, etc. has tons of content for emacs too.
