I just keep the 'busy' hours for other people. Thankfully WFH has made it easy. Basically 11AM-7PM are for other people to interrupt me, and for calls. I stay only half-engaged with chats and emails so it doesn't cost in me m

Which is a great boon for both Haiku and my old netbook. 9/10 times I'm using terminal, browser and Emacs anyway, and Haiku is stupid fast. Now if only wireless support was bit better...

Aside from obviously great quote, thanks for reminding me of Stanislaw Lem and Pyron. I grew up reading translations of old Russian books and (I know he was Polish) your comment was a good walk on the memory lane

Traditional systems have complexity too. Its just not up front. I like to compare it to fossil fuels and global warming. Traditional systems get one started quick, but eventually build a large fragile system that gets harder to fix/reb

I just want to appreciate the article. Starting with non-clickbait title, upfront summary, detailed numbers, code for reruns, great graphs, no dreamy story and no advertisement of any kind. It is hosted on Medium but the author has done a b

This is why I believe Nate Graham does a fantastic job with weekly KDE updates[0]. He actually goes through the pain to condense every bugfix/feature addition to readable and grokkable single line, and it makes for great changelog read

virtualenv, pyenv, venv.. I'm sure they all work well, but for a newbie, the sheer choice is a killer, especially when they all work almost same, but not quite. Now compare that with cargo or npm and the canonical way makes newbie up

Anything that connects to or supports something that connects to the internet eventually gets used as some part of vulnerability, and hence needs to be updated. But, I agree with your sentiment. Endless feature bloat is not necessary for va
