More disturbing to me is how loud it gets when you're actually on the airplane. The plane itself is very loud, that can't be helped I guess, but the crew seemingly has to shout irrelevant things at you every five minutes through t

I've been using Debian as my daily driver on desktops, laptops and servers since Debian Potato (around the year 2000). My desktops often last over 10 years on a single install, upgrading from one release to the next, without a hitch. D

Anecdotal: I've been into pc's for 30 years. Each failed harddisk I had over those 3 decades was announced in advance by increased sounds, lowered performance and SMART warnings. In all cases I was either capable of retrieving all

Why is the choice always portrayed as if it's either cloud, or on-prem / colocation ? Those are two extremes. At work I use dedicated physical machines from Hetzner. If I need an extra one they deliver it in a few minutes, and tha

Not entirely correct since neovim never stopped merging upstream patches from vim. So what happens in vim does influence neovim.

As a European, this whole concept is mind boggling. Just show me a price for a service or an item, and I'll pay it. The listed prices for us already include any taxes and charges. If you're having a nice meal and you're satis

I guess I was lucky: I started 15 years ago doing web development using python and django on linux, which is still my toolset today ;)

Why settle for a substitute? Just use Debian. More honest, more free, no commercial shenanigans and no snaps. I've been a Debian user on all my laptops, desktops and servers for 25 years and counting, it's the best there is, for m

A shame they removed the .deb package. Oh well, I use gvim as my daily driver anyway.

I don't understand why anyone would still bother with Airbnb. So many headaches. I've used booking dot com, to reserve real hotels or apartments managed by real professional people, all over the world, for over a decade and counti

Some people value stability and gvim. I don't consider nvim an upgrade, it's just a fork with different priorities which may or may not suit you. I continue to use vim and gvim.

I came here to say the same. The author clearly has only a very superficial knowledge of python (and a large distaste for it). Throughout my studies and career I've written c, c++, java, javascript, perl, bash, python and a little bit

For me gtk2 is the best one. Everything that came after was both uglier and less usable.

To be honest I doubt Elon could even write a fizzbuzz in a language of choice if his life depended on it. Nothing but hot air that guy. He's as much an engineer as I'm a neurosurgeon.

What a unique combination of incompetence, hubris and an utterly despicable personality.

So they will be forcing my few dozen terabyte ES cluster that today runs fully on dedicated physical hardware to use extremely expensive cloud storage services instead? What an awful idea! I hope the option to fully self-host on dedicated

Laptops are all together awful. I can't imagine working on one for more than a few hours. My self built desktop blows any laptop out of the water in speed, comfort, reliability, upgrade / repair potential and ergonomics (obviously

Tax fossil fuels? When I fill my car with benzine at 2 euro/liter would you like to guess how much of that is taxes? Same for the gas heating in my apartment. And the electricity that powers my PC. The cost of the actual fuel or energy

I use vim for a living. I need it to work. Always. Neovim in my experience hasn't been as stable, not by a longshot. Neovim adds things I don't care about (lua, lsp, treesitter) while taking away things that are essential to me (g

I never understood how people consider go an alternative to python. I tried it myself for a while, and I couldn't stand the verbosity. So much code needed to do simple things, it almost felt like C again. And the error handling... Shud

Go is painfully verbose and Rust painfully complex compared to python.

It might have to do with better screening. I've read in the past that Belgium is a frontrunner in the screening for certain cancers (like breast and colon afaik). If you screen more, you will find more. Italy is quite poor and probably
