I can attest that this. There is no advantage to being married in BC (and many other places) It's not because we are afraid of commitment, like this flimsy article suggests. We simply don't care about the symbolic ritual.

Good. It isn't competitive for these big banks to continue to offer 0% interest rates! In Portugal I landed on "Certificados de aforro" which gets you on the road to 3.5% on EUR, secured, with liquidity. Would love to see mor

Linux used to break down all the time when I used Ubuntu variants and Gnome. Either Nvidia drivers, distro upgrades, gnome configs going awry. Switching to KDE Plasma Desktop & openSUSE Tumbleweed, reliability has been 99.9999% SLA! The

For compliance, I have been using it to complete cheesy "security training" videos and quizzes that we are forced to watch in the organization for insurance purposes. The videos are so bad, the training is ineffective anyways. We

This has been my experience as well: no problems screensharing except w/ Zoom native client due to their distro whitelist preventing screensharing under Wayland. A little irksome. Just let us try! Browser mode until then.

Within seconds of transactional data being written into Aurora, the data is available in Amazon Redshift, so you don’t have to build and maintain complex data pipelines to perform extract, transform, and load (ETL) operations.

Switched from OneNote to Joplin. It's been a good replacement for organizing notes & code snippets. A couple quirks. Had to write custom CSS in the config to get markdown previews scaled correctly. Formatting has been a nuisance, h

Absolutely. Although Ubuntu is popular, I find openSUSE Tumbleweed to be a better Linux distro, with flatpaks, hot updates, btrfs snapshots.

We switched our python task processing from celery to pubsub (on GCP) backed by redis for message storage, and it's much better. Celery is full of bugs and quirks, nobody ever really knew what it was doing when it would fail. For simpl

+1 Yes, there is no comparison, touchpads are way better on Mac, it's too bad that they have become such poor development machines (docker on mac is a garbage barge)

Agreed, isolation is a good reason to opt for microservices. One app goes offline, others still accessible, and you can do isolated maintenance. That, and features that aren't directly related, are super lightweight (quick to build, ru
