On one machine I have offlineimap.py[1] (with mutt), on the other laptop Evolution[2] that archives my mail locally that I can also export and back up regularly. [1]: https://www.offlineimap.org/ [2]: https://git

I also have an old Gmail account that I don't use directly anymore. Instead of POP, I set it up to forward everything to my mailbox.org account. It works for me this way for several years now. The only issue is that I don't get th

Wouldn't we still need a "Line Separator" character so we can include line breaks in fields and records for formatting purposes?

Do you have any examples what tends to break? We used pyenv/rbenv/sdkman etc. individually, then moved to asdf and now arrived at mise. Not using yet for CI just developer stuff and so far didn't have issues. But this is quit

Making money from tickets is supporting the wrong behavior of trying to find excuses to ticket you for anything to get extra money - this is often leading to cops looking for cheap ways to get the extra cash where they can get it easily, in

Isn't it too dystopian to have cars follow you around and report you to authorities? I can easily imagine some bad scenarios.

When I read the title I remembered how people in the 90s at my place built their lawn mowers. It was a new thing. My father welded the frame from scrap metal with the motor from a washing machine and some tiny wheels from an old baby stroll

I finished it anyway: Your Programming Philosophy You value clarity and directness in code. You prefer explicit, step-by-step solutions that are easy to understand and debug, even if they require more lines of code. Abstract ↔ Concrete: 0 N

It's not that it is not possible, but whether it's a good idea. The usual problem is that some team exposes one of their internal tables and they don't have control over what type of queries are run against it that could impa

It's definitely worse for external customers, of course. But it's still not that easy even for internal customers. The main problem is that usually the tables exposed are not meant to be public interfaces, so the team takes on an

That moves your API layer to the client library you need to distribute and build for your customers in programming languages they support. There are some cases where a thick client makes sense, but usually easier to do it server side and le

The team boundary is very important. You can get away with shared DB for a long time if the same team handles all services that access it and have absolute tight control over them. If there are different teams in picture, however, the tight

Yes, and would have been great to discuss that in a civil way. Samsung says you need to have the devices on the same Samsung account, same WiFi with Bluetooth enabled in https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer&#x

I don't know why you make up such stories for yourself. It's completely pointless and has zero value. Let me share you something, maybe it helps to update your perspective. We reject people not because they help themselves with AI

I went through something similar, Todoist, Wunderlist, etc. We used these also together with my wife for a while. But sooner or later we reverted to paper for ad-hoc lists and some docs, spreadsheet software (Google Drive, Synology Drive, M

We have also seen this about a year ago when hiring. But only a couple of them made it to the live interview and then it was evident. Most of them were quickly filtered out based on the coding submissions. We are soon about to hire again, w

Is that specific to using Rails or it is good with plain Ruby as well?

It's perfectly fine. The important part is that you can explain during the interview what you did to achieve that impact and demonstrate the skills. A lot of BS ends there. I never threw out a CV because it contained too many numbers o

Yep. We once had left a socks proxy unprotected on a public IP, no cert, just a random IP and a fixed port. At one day the service stopped working. When looking into it, the network was overloaded with random IPs from all over the world sur
