There is a different metric too: level of shame vs level of fame when you screw up / achieve something. - distributed systems? Fame on achievement: not much, shame on failure: not much. - ML/AI? Fame: crazy amount, shame: not much

I'm put on a banking project (as external) which already flushed down the toilet around ~$500M. Based on my experiences of the meetings and meetings about meetings, I totally understand how the incompetence lead to this clusterfuck. My

I was you, 10 years ago. Then at one day I decided to _really_ put a lot of effort on improving and highly customize my workflow. It took a while to get used to being the fastest around my colleagues. I'll never look back. We are profe

On the project I'm currently working on right now we are installing a MacMini... ...into the datacenter (facepalm). Except for that, what I found is that nodejs (and also python) development although seemed fast on a MacBook pro, but u

Yes, your expectations are too high. I'm trying to hire a devops engineer. Applicants have the shiniest CVs with even 10 years of devopsy stuff on it. Then I ask the following question: "Explain me the relation between a VM, linux

Off-topic: For all who complain about the paywall: https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-firefox Yes you are right, and no, it's not nice to the author / medium / whatever.

There are many PKGBUILDs on AUR that cactually download rpm / deb packages and unpack the binaries and deps from it.

Wow, that's actually the right question. Honestly, I don't know. Maybe it would be even worse...

As I already said here before... Read through `man bash`. Thank me later :-) But seriously, just take some time to read through manuals of software you _really_ use a lot. Like git, vim (or any of your fancypants code editor), shell, etc.

I see this so often. Yet.... I do this. In a good shape, healthy, strong. I'm a moderately good runner on top of it, all the mental and physical benefits of it. Yet, I can squat out the whole day anxiously looking at the time at 5pm ju

So it is with vim. Anyway, unfortunately given setup won't even be viable with anything running "local", since in the mentioned citrix environment we cannot install anything, so no vscode, no local vim, no nothing...

I have a quite good setup, in general. Unfortunately this is some external requirement I cannot do anything about. Also, as opposed to many people, I actually got to work and know both the IDE-world (including VScode), and the vim world. I

Now imagine that SSH going from a Citrix windows desktop running on a Windows 10 VM on your linux laptop. Every key press reacts in around a second. Welcome to banking "security"! Now let's say I want to `d5}`, to delete the

Unfortunately I am familiar with this 4 year old answer, yes. I rather hoped there is a better solution since.

Can you elaborate on the Nextcloud&Syncthing part? It would be awesome to have LAN local syncing (as Syntching does), while being able to share doc to the outside world (NextCloud's functionality). Did you figure this out? Anther t

My productivity tip: Sit down, and read through `man bash`. Thank me later.

This was the first thing I tried to solve back then when Hooks came out. Very powerful!

I used to use google desktop search (!!!) back in the days, it even had a linux client. I'm aware of tracker (gnome built in) etc, I just didn't do my research yet :-) rg I use hourly for code-related navigation & searches tho

I mostly prefer Open-Source, Linux-compatible stuff.

I use rclone daily to sync Microsoft Teams' (aka Sharepoint) files from that horribly slow web-based UI to my local filesystem, browsing crazy fast with fzf. A good document indexer should help me further, if anyone has suggestions...

Interesting to read these comments here. I consider myself a (not-so-hardcore) minimalist, even since before this hip KonMari... "thing" that suddenly "made" a lot of people into minimalists. Yeah, for sure it did. As e

Same as with running water. Thankfully I don't have to dig my own well anymore, even worse: in some countries I'm not even allowed to, and I have to pay for the service! This model is there for a very long time, and makes our live

You are right. Same as with vendor lock-in when a business chooses platforms (hello, Oracle). However, in this case, I like the idea that if tomorrow I wanted to print with Epson, I can sell / abandon this given HP printer and my futur
