This was my first time; I usually fly to S-America. The flight was ~13 hours with a stopover in Istambul (highly recommended to go to the lounge!).

I sublet my apartment; my regular monthly rent with utilities' daily equivalent allows me decent hotels / lodges in S-E-Asia, S-America. Food and services are generally cheaper at these destinations too. I'd say 65-70% of my

While had a job, home office: Wake up, prepare breakfast, prepare for work (read emails), calisthenics, breakfast, start working. After left job: Flight ticket to Nepal, 6.30am hikes in Himalayas daily, flight to Thailand, activities early

This comment shows exactly why I like this question. Lot of related topics to branch out to! I actually wasn't ever interested in the "cut off date", but all these side topics, and why some people think differently about what

Change the question to "highways" then. (at least in most European countries, AFAIK horses are banned from them)

My favorite brain picker question: What year would the EU* ban human driven cars on public roads? That's it. Million different opinions ranging from "never" to "within a couple decades for sure", weak, strong opinio

Agree with the sentiment. However it's hard to stay curious, even harder to stay up-to-date. I liked fiddling with storage for a while, got really into it, deepened my knowledge about it. A couple years later I realized everything else

Wow, nice analogy. Thanks for this, it really helps me put these tiny cells into perspective.

Indeed. That's my understanding, too. However, my sentiment is rather this: I wouldn't pass an assembly programming interview, but I know enough about it so that I know what I don't know. Same with embedded programming, fpgas

You captured very well my sentiment. Also same feelings for AI. I'm wondering if it's time for me to switch professions and give up compsci / software altogether.

Funnily, I started using this word when I'm referring to social media, the addicts of daily TikTok and Instagram scrolling users. Maybe I'm exposed to this brain rot, since I am using this word lately a lot, and possibly, I picked

Genuine question, why do they require that they navigate on camera alone? I have a robomop which does some pretty accurate scanning with its radar. I thought this is cheap, consumer appliance grade technology already.

I do! Wow, what a flashback. I think it was formed from Mozilla's built in editor, and later on died quite quickly and was forked under a different name, which, in turn, died quickly.

What about yellow(ish) backlight? I switched to Kobo bc of that

Switching (back) from om Mac to Linux, I can definitely say that the painful experience was with the Mac, I just got used to it along the years. The Plasma desktop is now a breeze (literally ;-)). Battery is surprisingly long lasting, too (

I usually do this by hand. Good to see a tool for it :-) Feature request, which I would love to have in all my automation scripts: Replace short flags with the long switches. Short flags are great when typing in a terminal but I don't

1 hour of TV time PER DAY for small kids is considered restrictive? I would have thought it's much less. What would be an equivalent restriction on the phone/tablet/more actively engaging devices?

Yes I did it on my last job for a year at least. Good project, learning, good direction for the team, etc. (and of course "more important" things like a salary, friends, family, etc was all in balance). It was not an easy job thou

Some good recommendations in the article. Greppability is also helpful when you start scripting your editor. Vim has `includeexpr` and co. to implement some "intelligence" when trying to find declarations etc. This enabled me to w

I see, thanks. I agree all of that. Usage patterns are garbage. But still, incredible technology, squeezed in a tiny box.

by kmarc 2y ago
That's an interesting input. I have a guess why you'd say that, but I rather ask, genuinely, why do you think it's a "garbage technology"?

Whenever a new tool / library / plugin / whatever is evaluated by myself or my team, I spend some time on gathering some github issue / PR stats. I think this is now part of my "software engineering toolset" &#

Sure, I didn't want to belittle your experience at all. It's great that vendors think about Linux as first class citizens on desktop , too. My understanding though, is that most of "steam games" are still windows binarie

We organized a LAN PARTY (oh my, what a flashback) in 2005 in our student hostel, where we played CS / Half Life on wine, under Linux. I thought we were already there, 19years ago
