As a general rule in life, you should enjoy the process, not just the outcome. The joy is in the journey.

Since I use Things for todo management anyway, I tend to write down creative thoughts there as task items under a "miscellaneous" project. Bigger ideas sometimes get promoted into their own projects with several tasks. Things sync

For a long time I’ve kept everything important in project folders under ~/Projects. Each folder is a Git repository also stored in Bitbucket. I clone these on all the computers I work with. There are some exceptions like photos, videos

I guess Keurig is different from the espresso capsule machines. My machine is a locally licensed K-Fee compatible device and there are both brewed coffee and espresso capsules available. The brewed coffee capsules have some kind of mechanis

Espresso is IMHO not so convenient to make. You need to prepare every portion separately, filling the filter holder correctly each time etc. This is why I personally switched from a traditional espresso machine to capsules. I still make bas

Same mocking occurs every time Apple removes a soon-to-be-obsolete piece of hardware (serial/parallel ports, disk drives, CD drives, USB2/3 ports, etc). So far I think the only big mistake they've made is removing the Esc key

Similar examples have been Fargate and Lambda, which have surprisingly long cold start times depending on runtimes and VPC configurations. IMHO it is a big part of AWS expertise to know these things and be able to choose the right services

I use Feedly now but miss Google Reader. It was a great way to follow the Internet chronologically and could have been developed much further from that point of view. Nowadays you are supposed follow the Internet randomly, based on whateve

Don’t solve imaginary future problems. Solve actual problems at hand. Most of the unnecessary complexity in programming can be avoided by keeping this in mind.

Serverless on AWS is the closest thing to an “eternal” stack. Utilize only managed, auto scaling, self updating services, and your app will keep running for a long time. Occasionally the Node.js major version in Lambda gets deprecated, but

Theoretically yes, but then you still face other problems when the website has not been designed to be used as a desktop app. Slack's own application offers e.g. an easy way to switch between multiple teams (I have 16).

Biggest problem in web apps, at least to me, is window management. When you switch to Chrome (on Mac), all browser windows come to foreground. I want to keep Slack as its own app so that it stays in the background until needed. I also want

In my experience, if you don’t use Serverless Framework, you will end up writing the same functionality yourself as custom deployment scripts, which will not be as stable, extensible and well documented. There are some alternatives in the A

All the big cloud providers are offering pre-trained models for currently popular AI/ML use cases, such as image labelling, face recognition etc. I think this will be the easiest way to apply AI/ML, combined with transfer learning

I've been hoping that VR would be the next web in this sense, but haven't seen it happen yet. It would be so cool to have a world-wide fully open Second Life.

It's better than nothing (I've been using it for a while), but it has trouble handling confirmation dialogs unless you keep the browser window in the foreground. Also it seems to miss quite a lot of posts. It would really be so mu

I believe Facebook's Graph API intentionally does not support DELETE actions. I've had best success with a Chrome plugin called Social Book Post Manager, but it's not particularly fast or reliable either. At least it's a

What's really needed is a way to delete old data in batches, like "delete everything I've posted over 1 year ago". Currently you have to delete thousands of individual items (like played Spotify songs) one-by-one, using

Their pricing has monthly subscriptions, that’s not serverless. Serverless will cost nothing when idle, that’s the whole idea.

It’s interesting that the plastic particles may be coming from the bottle caps, which would mean that non-plastic bottles with plastic caps might also be affected.
