I agree with this. And I'm approaching 40, still like to stare at screen and tinker whole day, though do less and less of it as I get more and more attracted intellectualy to build companies and not only software product.

You will learn a lot about yourself, maybe things you will not like. Parenting requires patience- very easy to say, difficult to execute. Your kids cannot be in second place when you spend your time, and this is really easy to say but when

It depends which corridor you are standing, there are many who believe Russia is about to send their troops to invade Poland. Reality to many is still what is told on TV, and TV in Poland is far from being objective or promoting proper publ

I guess people learn from history, and Polish history teaches sad lesson that Poland seems to be a good candidate for another WWII experience where there are no victorious... To Polish politicians I would have one thing to say, send your ki

One of my ears has significant hearing loss, and in the same time it's still very good at bone conduction of low frequencies tones. I can literally feel that neighbor from two floors above is playing basses, even though my spause won&#

It was the first time I have seen some numbers. I elected to destroy those bad probes and not to go to the new universe. I'm done with this game.

I'm not into whole 'Elon takes over Twitter' drama, and most likely I'm not their target audience. But for whatever it may matter, I stay away from any platform that tries to verify me, even if most of them manage to suc

Arch Linux on Lenovo P51 (since 2019). Topped with 128Gb of RAM, this was promary reason I got this laptop as at the time it was the only option with motherboard supporting that much of RAM. No issues so far :) I also have a custom-built st

I use dmcrypt with luks since ~2011. This was not common when I was starting to use this, but being part of Arch Linux community helps a lot. Especially back in the time everyone was eager to share opinions and how-to hints...

From experience, I'd argue against this strategy. I have done this once and it resulted in quite problematic situation as I started to be perceived as somebody who looks for greaner grass... If you want to earn more and your current jo

You eventually, at some point, write your own code which is not reproduced. From what I see Copilot authors state that copilot is reproducing code, it is not inventing new code like human being would. It seems to be big and efficient databa
