   It makes totally sense. Here in Barcelona, an exit goes by one number "Exit 26", it can be 10km, 15km, etc. They tell you the proximity: "Exit 26B 1000m", "Exit 26B 500m" and the last warning the cartels are wh

   I live in Barcelona, and I dislike their house numbering system. In Buenos Aires, things are much more rational: one block is 100m. So the first house may have a number somewhere between 0 and 20, depending on how far the entrance is from t

   Full JavaScript websites will not work, but the rest of the web will. I'm trying to build a more solid module to handle URL redirects. I managed to get it working with DuckDuckGo. Right now, forms don't work yet (still in developm

   I am building a new modern Terminal browser. A text based browser for the terminal. Full privacy, features. Ultra fast. For those who love to work in terminal but somehow are dissapointed with Lynx. * Native and small. * Private by default.

   I use LLMs to learn deep technical concepts. I really like them because I can spend countless hours a day understanding things and building an investigation file with all my findings. I code examples and test the findings. It has helped me

   America is too big to compare it with one single city of Canada.

    "Code Complete" by Steve McConnell is a good option for those who want to improve their development practices.

    It's a really good interview. I recommend it too.

    Now I understand why Microsoft, Apple, and other tech giants are slowly falling behind: they put strong candidates through a series of puzzles. What a great way to filter out talented people. Great times. Very character building.

    Indeed. The problem is they will not be able to survive if they fight agaisnt the innovation of AI. What it will be funny (and probably I will not be alive to see it) is that in the future, the movies we say today will be completely refacto

    I completely agree. Apple went from making “wow” products to “meh” products. Everything started to decline after Steve passed away.

    I remember FastTracker II pretty well from the gatherings we had with our demoscene friends in Buenos Aires. Many of them worked exclusively with it for our demos.

    KGazer is a developer tool for exploring and inspecting Kafka compacted topics. It continuously consumes messages from your Kafka clusters, stores them in PostgreSQL and provides a web interface to browse keys, view message history and comp

    Now, when someone sees an em dash, they automatically think, "It’s AI-generated." It’s a pity that AI indirectly created this hysteria.

    I think what is agonizing is either the process imposed by the company or the architecture you are working with. Both can lead to immense frustration. When you have good architecture and a good development process, things become much less f

    I quite like that. Companies like Google, Microsoft, and Apple are simply not in a position to compete. They are always late to the party, and it is shameful. It shows that their managers are not capable of leading innovation. These compani

    I am still figuring out what use case this might have. Why would you want to deceive an AI? Not to mention that, eventually, all AI systems will end up reading it.

    You are not alone. I got huge amount of frustration with the diffs tools in git GUIs over the years I always ended up on the command line.

    I doubt you can beat a skill command. It's just /my-skill-do-the-job and that's it.
