If I cannot pay my bank get my house, which is worth significantly more than what I have borrowed. It means the bank can be sure to recover their money and their costs. That isn't a gamble.

Apples and oranges. The original comment that I answered is technically false if there exist a single mortgage that isn't a gamble. Now, if only a single such mortgage existed you’d still have a point, but the fact is millions of loans

Effortless switching between input and reading mode. Automation features works seamlessly and makes sense to me. No lock in (was true for Joplin as well).

I answered to a comment that said every loan is a gamble.

> Banks inherently gamble with customers deposits, every loan is a gamble. I wouldn't exactly call a residential mortgage a gamble. Not the loan for my car either, the bank has first priority in both and demands I insurance them for

I used Joplin for some time. It is really good and it has been very stable. Using Joplin Web Clipper from Firefox I could also snip pages (or parts of pages) into Joplin. But the most amazing thing is that - it works on mobile devices as we

Haven't experienced exactly that but I often did non-coding tasks: - lunch shopping and preparations, clean up - transport from one branch to another for Factory Acceptance Testing - at one point I worked as a consultant for a rather l

Steady stream of new people showing up tells me at least there is a heavy influx of users and have been for a long time. Edit: you might also be onto something with the "specific social circles" part of the comment. It is maybe li

Classic USB. Plastic. (I don't know the exact model, I got it from work.) After adding a site or a computer it works a few days and then suddenly when I try to use it with my phone or computer I just get an error about no <something

My Yubikey always loses its credentials. (If anyone else knows about it and have a fix I'm all ears.) I guess I need a new one, but what I want to say is don't rely on a single Yubikey or even two. Do have backups.

Brings back memories: when I went to farming school around 1998 - 2000 we once visited a local commercial greenhouse and one thing I remember is they told me they used to have chemicals (plant hormones possibly?) that they sprayed on the le

However smart those people are compared to me this still makes no sense until a significant chunk of the Linux kernel is written in Go and Go is relevant option for writing latency sensitive code (real time audio etc). Go might be a good la

Good luck with it. And if you: - work for a company that uses open source, look for excuses to support it (support contract, etc. I even got good value out of some.) - are an open source project that takes donations: don't get greedy.

In military they told us to never ever talk in a hopeless way near wounded even if we thought they were completely unconscious. Usually the hearing is the last sense to go they thought us, and if we said "he'll never make it"

Some say that the old stories about the vikings (and others from other cultures) clearly weren't true or weren't even possible, but examples like this shows it is easy to wildly underestimate what is possible.

It might not be fair to group the UX designers of Jetbrains with every other UX designer. But it is a giant problem that the industry has been "simplifying" everything so mindlessly for so many years that today my iOS device gave

Reproducible builds are notoriously hard even without having to worry about things like jailbreaking and app stores. The point is not just that everyone can make their own, but that anyone who is competent enough can prove that their client
