Last five years I'm looking at how my colleagues are struggling to dismantle a king of monoliths to services to enable various teams to move at faster pace and scale different parts independently. Those people couldn't be more wro

Almost never downvote, only if I see something blately stupid without supporting arguments or non-constructive.

Exactly. And then people wonder why everything is electron nowadays. Native UI development on any platform is pure garbage compared to frameworks in Web frontend. I hope SwiftUI and flutter will be able to make it at least a little bit bett

Like if any other thing with automatic package management is any better. .m2/repository is 5 gb on my machine. Rust crates? Go packages that are neatly tucked away too? Node just makes it visible and in your face by putting the node_mo

Actually me who's running a stack of services on Node.JS written in TypeScript had a wonderful weekend. I had my birthday on Sunday and took my girls to Christmas fare. So did my colleagues. The other half of the company were busy reso

I _hate_ smart asses that do "everything final by default". It all fun and giggles until I can't mock some stupid class in some stupid library that I have no choice but to use just because someone is high on "inheritance

There were times when physics PhDs would chuckle and say absurd about going faster than sound. The equations that we had back then also predicted all kind of infinities in pressure, etc.

Good to know, thank you. It is still doesn't cancel my point that producing "self-hosting in a box" devices is possible and profitable. Also there used to be "Windows Home Server" thingy.

Yes this. All this case (and similar others with other companies) demonstrates is that we're lacking in laws and regulation here. There should be no way that it is legal to just lock a customer like that without paying them all the mon

I don’t use it very often (not enough people from my circle there) but I went straignt to that screen and donated. We gotta keep this option live and open for us.

I recently grew fond of Gitfox. Has been using it for couple months and am very happy with it. Prior to that I couldn't stand any Git GUI and was living in terminal.

I expected something like that. Don't get me wrong, not in a bad way in "I know where you're coming from way". I personally don't care for icons, I like "the Apple way" - a menu with a search. A perfect Wi

Have you ever run `rm -f important_doc.txt` instead of intended `rm -f important_doc copy.txt`? It doesn't matter if it is GUI or terminal interface, software must be _humane_, forgive mistakes and provide a way out. As much as love Un

That is an interesting perspective. May I ask you what is you professional use of a computer and if it is programming - what kind of programming? I’m asking because I’m curious if environment drives habits/preferences.

I use iPad with Notability and it seems to be perfect. I keep my notes in Apple Notes and hand writing in Notability. Endless scrolling makes it so it doesn’t feel size limiting and features like circle a piece of text to move/zoom it
