You see a lot of beautiful setups with i3 or BSPWM on /r/unixporn. I did use i3 for a solid year but... it's just not for me. I loved being able to navigate everything with the keyboard but, honestly, sometimes I just want ov

From the beginning, there has never been a cooler WM than Enlightenment. It brings back such great nostalgic memories of tweaking it for hours. Running CD ripping stuff, a Perl script for grabbing album artwork, and LAME encoding was my typ

That article really gives the impression that the browser chrome (the back button, etc) is the GUI that is downloaded, and is made up of HTML. The picture in the article doesn't help.

Think about that for a second. 45Mbps. It sounded so huge. Even your low tier 25 dollar a month cable modem packages can outdo that. (Now they're nowhere near as stable, and they're definitely not synchronous) But in this age of G

This is why I tend to follow the project's Twitter account and NOT the authors. Authors are humans with human opinions. Some folks seem more hellbent on USING their project's popularity to spread their views... but, I don't t

are we doing CORS? Adding headers? If it is just a one-off fetch, I'd probably long-hand it. If I intended to be fetching from many endpoints, I'd probably write a tiny little abstraction. I'm not exactly keen on loading a 30

Being a product of the late 90s burn mp3s to CDs generation, I had a huge collection. Most of it was of Napster/WinMX/Kazaa/Limewire quality. I spent years curating it, and cataloging it. Then one day I opened a new iTunes on

Way back in the day, The Pirate Bay was my discovery tool. They recommended other bands that were perfect for my tastes. I haven't even looked at that place in like 10 years or something. On the legal/legitimate front, Pandora has

For years, the bane of my existence was always lodash. Import one tiny utility and it brings along 15 of its closest friends. You can't get away from it. It was built so incredibly modularly, that it has to import a bunch of other thin

Yes, scaling horizontally can be quite expensive. For a startup that begins their journey with Rails, and finds out quickly how expensive that is, it can be a show stopper. Shopify and Stripe are used as an example simply because I want to

It absolutely does. When operating a highly dynamic site that services millions of requests a day, scaling k8s pods horizontally ceases to be a "win". One bumps up against the node count that is hit by the load balancer. (NodeJS e

As in will you find plenty of recruiters hunting for Rails developers? Absolutely. I've seen plenty of startups locally (Salt Lake/Provo) that are green-fielding with Rails. I've also seen later-stage startups that are transi

It's entirely possible. I wrote my last real PHP in 2014. Even then I was maintaining a very old app. I did write a quick API in Laravel back in 2017 just to see what all the fuss was about. And even then. PHP felt a LOT different. I k

And 7 was just "let's try and add some 'web' to Delphi 6". And 6 was "Hey, Kylix is gonna be huge on Linux, so let's try and align Delphi 5"... Still one of my favorite programming experiences in my l

I've mentioned this to several others (and also as a response to David in the past) but I highly, HIGHLY recommend anyone who's just getting started with nvim-dap, watch these videos. They helped me immensely when I was first gett

That's been my experience for 10 years. (Before that, I didn't even know Vim could have color schemes) These things look beautiful on the web page. But dang it's so hard to get your terminal, Tmux and Vim/NeoVim to displ

If shipping is the only thing that matters, then we're in great shape. If shipping the right things matters, we're probably going to need to collaborate a bit. Over the past year, we could have killed a few features just by pushin

This was entirely a commentary on the social aspects of developers. We had an initial surge in productivity and then a lull. Product quality suffered a bit due to mis/non-communication. Not everyone made the transition to WFH in an eff

This has been my observation over the last 20 years. I truly enjoy socializing and collaborating in person. I usually worked from home once or twice a week before the pandemic. It was a fantastic convenience as I lived an hour from my offic

While I enjoyed that article many years ago, and even identified with those sentiments. I've kept an eye on PHP over the years. It's not that same language. Certainly PHP, like all languages are not perfect. But I gotta hand it to

jQuery's $ and lodash's _ are not prepended to a symbol to denote a variable. Both are objects actually. In the case of jQuery, $ === jQuery (the root jQuery object). The case that the parent is talking about is PHP's require

We said that we were adopting the Unix philosophy of doing one thing, and doing it well. While at the same time, we wanted to avoid the dependency hell that plagued other systems. So we allowed each dependency to specify its own version of

I've owned a couple DX-7s. I just can't get into the original. The DX7 mk2 was a really cool instrument and I'm glad the V has some of those sounds. I messed with FM7 a bit too. I've seen mention of Dexed for years but h

I had been eyeing that Arturia V collection. The cost isn't too bad at all! I had a demo a few years ago and I really only messed with the grand piano and the DX-7. I'd love to do some nice warm pads on a Juno-106!

I did SO much with Rebirth-338 back in the day. Its emulation wasn't so bad. I've tried getting it to run on Windows 10, but even after all the hacks I could find online, it just doesn't run quite right. It was made in the er

I get that this is a humble opinion. And I respect that. But for a language that draws so much ire from the programming community, and yet demonstrates such an ability to change and morph over the years. Are you saying you do NOT WANT it to
