> A more accurate way of thinking about it, IMHO, is to look at how homogeneous the project is. This is a very good point. I tend to take as a given the a highly homogeneous project is always a smaller/simpler one, and that a hetero

I respectfully disagree with one of the points you made: in my experience, micro frameworks like Sinatra or Flask work best for large projects while the more full fledged ones like Rails or Django work best in small projects. The reason is

Yeah as a solo freelance dev I couldn't see how stuff like microservices would remotely be helpful to me in any way. But a few years later I worked in a large-ish team where at some point we hit a wall due to the project being a monoli

In the software world something that works roughly similarly (i.e. where a prototype is differentiated from production) is devops. If you are deploying a toy-project once, maybe you are not setting up a CI/CD pipeline, Terraform templa

Same with the built in Mail and Calendar apps in Windows. On my Mac I can connect to my NextCloud/Mail-in-a-box natively but on my gaming PC running Windows I had to install Thunderbird.

I self-host on a small-ish VPS. I don't really have to deal with spam, mail-in-a-box comes with pre-configured spamassassin. I haven't had issues with deliverability. When I created the box I did a scan of the IP and domain, found

I did this move about a year ago, in addition I also moved my email from Gmail to a self hosted instance of Mail-in-a-Box. I never had any issues with either NextCloud or Mail-in-a-Box, I'm pretty happy about those.

I've heard that the situation you describe is common in Silicon Valley. Based on my personal experience in Sydney, Australia, the distribution is about a 40/40/10% Win/Mac/Linux. I've seen about the same amount

Another regression in Win 11: no clock on multiple screens. Watching a video or playing a game full screen on your main screen, and want to check what time is it on another screen? Though luck, you can't. Unless you install an extensio

yeah I am like you, I even tried a PinePhone because I hate the current mobile OSes so much. (Unfortunately PinePhone is not 100% ready to be a daily driver though). Then COVID came, I haven't commuted for 2 years now and I stopped car

Let's put it another way: having to cast from the phone to the TV is like using a normal screw that requires a screwdriver. A TV where you don't need the phone is like one of those tool-less thumbscrews[1]. They are convenient bec

I think the main problem is HDR right? Because I don't think that 4K per se would be an issue? To be fair my TV is not 4K so I haven't tried 4K streaming... Even on my gaming PC I don't have 4K because I preferred to spend on

I have to say that Apple TV sucked less than the alternatives but it's also the most inflexible in the sense that it's harder to "jailbreak", so for example if Apple decides that the home page will now be filled with ads
