This is what helped me - your milage may vary. 1) Remove from your mind the idea that huner is suffering. It's all in your head. It's merely a mild discomfort. If you ate last night and woke up in the morning, you are not hungry.

I'm from the Middle East and I kinda love the hot summer. Tokyo's summers feel just right to me. Hot but not intolerable.

I believe you can now enter Japan for the purpose of working, if you have a job offer. There are several tech companies that speak English internally. You can google for Tokyo Dev Jobs or Japan Dev Jobs and a few websites will popup. Edit:

The SF Bay Area has the nicest weather year round, which is probably a strong contributing factor to why the area is so rich. I'm currently in Tokyo. The temparetrue is not the nicest year round, but it feels very natural. There are fo

Omega 6 is also an essential oil. You should not reduce it to zero. It just happens to be everywhere you end up consuming a lot more than necessary.

The audio system in linux desktop being broken all the time is in great part due to the complexity of the system. It's not that audio is inherently complex and difficult. It's just the basic model that these systems assume is brok

In many ways, a lot of the complexities in computing are born from the lack of capabilities. C is a simple language. It's so simple it has no concept of modules/packages. So as a hack you can 'include' header files. But

If "simple" makes you think of "less capabilities" then you are way off the mark. The challenge is to create something with more capability but architeturally more simple. I don't understand why they brag about supp

Yup. Nailed it. IMO the people calling this "burnout" have no idea what they are talking about. Calling it burnout assumes you're working too hard and if you just rest a bit then come back to do the same bullshit work it will

Ruby is very much main stream. Any non-programmer business type who wants to start a startup immediately think it should be in Ruby or Python because that's what he think is the most popular thing.

The principle is the problem. When your program is a TUI, it means stdout is useless. The tweet I quoted illustrates this problem. If you do both printf debugging and use a TUI debugger, you will not be able to see the output from the pri

The only "LSP" plugins that work well with VSCode in my experience are those developed by Microsoft (likely by the same team that developed VSCode). But even then, not all of them are great. For example, the Python plugin is of qu

I tried a few language plugins for VSCode that were all based on LSP, and they were all broken. So for me, the question is wrong. It's not "Why is LSP so great?". The question should be "Why are people so hyped about tec

The whole "but advertisers" is an obvious red herring. It's never been about advertisers. It's just an excuse. Advertisers will advertise wherever they think they can reach an audience. No matter what or how you advertis
