That's the title says, but we see similar initiatives in EU as well, and it would basically mean that the employee can choose that he wants to work only 4 days. Of course, even now anyone can also have 4 days workweek, if employer agre

I am from Slovakia and also use mapy.cz. I think the main thing lacking is that in this app there aren't official hiking trails marked... maybe that's something specific to only Czech+Slovakia, but when going hiking, that is proba

What I find fascinating is why government should have such an authority to be able to mandate this.

There are also early adopters who are running their node and don't plan to cash their bitcoins. They just want this thing to exists for ideological reasons. What worries me more are some "inhuman" traits in cryptocurrencies.

The core question is - is this better than VSCode AS AN EDITOR? In recent months, I had the feeling VSCode just surpassed it in almost every regard.
128.
by greyman 5y ago
For me, I use Goland and Pycharm as IDE, and VS Code as editor. I also used Sublime, but found that VS Code somehow surpassed it, and startup speed is also very fine (if you have strong computer :-)).

I like lichess, it is my first go to website to play chess, but for-profit models also have their advantages. For example in chess.com, they pay grandmasters to be there, and one can learn a lot from grandmasters. They earn money, and inves

I use both, but what is chess.com better at is that they have grandmasters there you can learn from. That's the advantage of the commercial model - you can use the money to push things to a higher level. But overall I am on lichess mor

Good watch, I own one. But recently I started to wear fitness band instead.

I agree with the first sentence, and that I found is one of the strongest points of Go. That you can look at your colleague code and be almost sure what it does, there just aren't hidden traps or clever hacks. It's always the same

No, it will stay, since a lot of projects are written in it, also new ones. It will stay "forever" like C or C++.

My experience with Go is positive. I transitioned to Go from Python (which we still use in some projects), but overall I started to prefer Go over python. What I like about Go: - explicit error handling, one is forced to write correct code

In my previous work we really had a guy whose output was surely at least 10x than others in the team. I wouldn't describe him as significantly more "talented" than others, I would say it was mostly a work ethic combined with

Just a sidenote, after 25 years of using Windows, I switched to OSX. But following the article logic, that can also be considered a Unix. :-)

I agree, I used VSCode for Python programming, until I found Pycharm is better. I also used it for Go programming, but later found Goland to be better. But what confuses me is that the article always references it as a "Text Editor&quo

My main problem with vim was, that I spent deliberate effort to learn some of its shortcuts, but I need to use text editor in a console only a few times per week, like change some config file or add line to cronjob. And then one tends to fo

It is stable enough? I tried it a few years back, but it felt like a beta3 or beta4 software, crashing about once per day. But maybe things improved since then.

by greyman 6y ago
I agree. And if you only occasionally need text editor on a linux server, like when you change some config file or update cronjob and nothing more, nano is perfectly adequate, without needing to learn all the vim shortcuts.

by greyman 6y ago
Swap nano and vim and that's how exactly I feel. :-)

Pinboard is ok, but recently I found myself to either just webclip the article into evernote, or make a note about it in Roam Research. Somehow just having tagged links doesn't work for me anymore.

by greyman 6y ago
I agree with the article. First I had to get used to it, and now I like it. 1) It forces a programmer to think about all possible errors right when calling a method, and handle them, and 2) reading other people code is easier - I see right

But are the backlinks created automatically? In Roam, yes, in Foam, I yet to have figure how. Also, core feature in Roam is its Search box. I also don't see that in Foam.

by greyman 6y ago
From this list, I am familiar with Evernote and Notion, but IMHO they are not Roam competition, since Roam is too different from them.

I agree, and moreover, "non-commercial" usage excludes almost every practical use. I used to work in media and we found photographers have different understandings what this license means. Some were ok to use their photo for illus

Yes but it should be added that "only non-commercial use" excludes almost all practical usages. Even wikipedia doesn't allow to use non-commercial, since it's a legal minefield.
