I use it in my home setup to spin up some service that run in containers automatically. The flow is: change docker file, push, CI runs and validates, another CI runs that uses ansible to run those containers. I probably could connect direct

I disagree with some of the things on that list but generally I like the list.

Honest question - how relevant the skill like that nowadays with all the stuff going Web and Electron? Are there any apps (except for creating stuff) that are being developed in a way that “server” part is running locally? It seems to me th

I switched tech stacks from Java on backend to TypeScript on backend and I'm quite happy that I can afford to use VSCode instead of IDEA now. While IDEA is absolutely wonderful IDE with magical capabilities, the speed and the fact that

That’s cute but if I’ve got a touch screen in my car and scroll through Spotify playlist, I’m as distracted as if I would be doing that on my phone if not worse. We need something general about distractions and may be a mandate that require

And then people are surprised that QAnon has such a following. Sure thing people will believe in conspiracy theories when it turns out that bunch of conspiracy theories are true. Veritasium had a nice video on that.

I needed to plot something real quick to see if I’m picking correct function. I had don’t remember how many data points but no much, under 200 I believe. W.A. told me to piss off and pay for it. So obviously I went and spent an hour more to

I compared it two what I see in my VSCode ( https://imgur.com/a/u9naqVi ) and fair enough, it got way better since I tried it last time.

Exactly that, plus it doesn't really serve well as platform. I mean VSCode renders Markdown previews correctly, not some ASCII based approximation. It renders images if I happen to click on one. Extensions can actually provide decent U

Basically if you say to me that you care about climate change and then reject nuclear, I stop talking to you and taking you in any kind of seriously. Once you reject nuclear it’s just virtue signalling.

Actually Marxists are the best. They tend to express somewhat coherent viewes as Marxism have quite strong philosophical roots. Lots of others are just “views”, that is a pile of incoherent whims that should be realized somehow.
