I definitely don't know much about general relativity, but isn't it yet another model/theory? A better one I bet, but one that still relies on information, so when we talk about "mass changes spacetime...", well my

When studying physics (simple stuff like electromagnetism and gravitational forces) I always wondered how the universe "knows" what's the distance between two planets when it comes to calculating forces amongst them. If the d

What are the chances of encountering performance issues and/or incompatibilities when using Alpine Linux as Docker image for Go apps in production?

Seems like unnecessary complexity to me. What about skipping the cache tricks until Docker releases a version that handles all thing cache related in a better way?

I didn't understand a thing of what you said. Any recommended readings to know a bit more about this topic?

IMHO: There is a difference between the job you do and your career. My career (programmer/software developer/software engineer/computer scientist) will last my whole life. It's something I like (I chose it) and it's

Slack would become the best chat app for every company out there with just one simple feature (or the lack of it): - remove the "user is online" green dot. Really, it's not needed. Once it's removed then everything becom

Interesting. Was the domain equal to your full name, first name, some other combination? (e.g., johnsmith.example, smith.example, john.smith.example, smith.john.example) If it's the first case (johnsmith.example), isn't it tricky

I don't think that's gonna happen. The same way modern browser's don't come with a java runtime to run servlets. Something better (and different) will come after SPAs, and the cycle will start again.

I tried many software tools, but none satisfied me. Nowadays I use pen and paper: I write down at most 5 or so items I need to work on. At most 5 so that I can remember them later on. Then immediately after I write them down, I throw the pa

VMware fusion plus Vagrant.

by lmarcos 5y ago
One can use Vagrant and VMware (instead of Virtualbox) on ARM M1. VMware fusion is free and Hashicorp has released the VMware vagrant plugin for free as well.

After reading you, I wish I drink coffee so I can quit and experience the same feeling you experienced.

Honest question: at this point why don't we skip the NFT part and just keep the URL and the content in the Internet Archive?

Additionally, I think now one can use Vmware fusion and the corresponding Vagrant plugin for free on M1 (because Virtualbox won't work anymore on the new Macs).

Would this work in an indirect way? Say you interviewed at company X which uses saas Z to handle interviews (so all the interview notes and feedback is stored in Z): would saas Z send me all the data they have about me if I can identify mys

I kinda do it. You get used to the feeling of living in a bubble (but if you are earning a software engineer salary, you are already probably living in a bubble)

While using `for` for that particular snippet of code is understandable, you cannot say that while sum < 1000 {} reads better (like English).

That's actually a good point! I could put that on my CV :D
