   Time used to run slowly in my early life too. Now every year is getting shorter. I never seem to find the time. One day I found 10 years had got me behind me. And no one had told me when to run.

   Funnily, I am in the middle of season 2 of Halt And Catch Fire. And beyond the references to AWS, Wolf3D and IRC/Usenet, I wonder which other parts are direct references to Compuserve. [i have never been on Compuserve]

   After reading all the comments, I realise I misinterpretated the last two sentences. I thought Bram was concluding that you have to accept the same kind of trade-off you accept in the frame of professional software development, when you del

   Went to his website. There was an interview of him from 2022. The answer that really stroke me was not about Vim, but about software craftmanship vs professional programming: « I have been working for a company where quite a few managers, e

   A sentence near the end of the article summarizes why cancer is such a nasty disease to deal with: "I hope that human cancers will prove vulnerable to this new mode of attack in the clinic, and that * they are not able to mutate around

   Not taking care of the semantics and letting [mostly] code take care of it is what I don’t like about that format. [standardization of @id and @type special attributes by JSON-LD sound like a good step forward, imho]

   I think JSON [tree] data [with no fixed field for unique identifier, and no fkey referencing] is wrong. The lack of a proper type system+schema for data is wrong. The need for server-side query management makes any API supremely rigid. Stil

    GitBash, AutoHotkey, Notepad++, 7zip and PowerToys are the basic installs I do on any Windows I am given. Any dev opening a CMD is suspect, to me.

    Sometimes, software engineers find abstractions that suit their mental model. Sometimes, they even are able to create codes that match such abstractions. Sometimes, those abstractions are now flawed. Sometimes, those abstractions are proper

    Nowadays, you would use Obsidian with tags, queries and DataView. [Or maybe Notion, i never used it]

    A proprietary extension for Semantic MediaWiki, called Project Halo, had been developped to extend the ontology management capabilities of the tool. Still amazed at that video when I rewatch it. [fyi, the company developing that extension w

    I am not sure I understand that n+1 select issue with graphQL. On my project, we generate SPARQL queries [to simplify, it is not so different from a GraphQL query] and we send it to a SQL translator that then sends that SQL to a Spark clust

    Internet, just as cinema, television, books, people, travels, etc needs you to become aware of what you want from it. Honestly, if we consider the Internet[/the Web] as a kind of information utopia, it can definitely be! I will cite

    We use it in Palantir, that is a proprietary overlay on top of Spark. It supports this feature reasonably fine.

    Off-topic: I really wonder if the point of taking notes is to actually browse those notes [by following links]. For me, searching notes and iframing notes one inside the other [to make kinds of self-contained reference meta-notes, à la Wiki

    For me, Obsidian really made me jump into the note-taking bandwagon. So all the points raised in the article are almost old story. My next challenges are: how to organise a note, regarding its granularity and refactoring. To elaborate a lit
