What works for me is blocking time in my calendar. Also this makes you aware of the limits that your life is currently imposing (sleep, work, family, friends) and what you can achieve or not. Like, trying to get to run from 0 to 10k while

I had the occasion to see him at a little place in Madrid specialised on magic shows a couple of decades ago ("La Cripta Magica"). He was already a legend by then after years and years of TV apparitions here in Spain. After the s

On macOS, I don’t use browser bookmarks any more. I just drag from the address bar to a specific iCloud Drive folder as a.weblog file. Its slightly cumbersome, but then you get sync and browser independence, which is nice.

I am not saying that all the people I hired were x10 performers, but they were certainly better than average, imho, with a leaner process. For example I did not hire anyone that lacked basic coding skills. Perhaps I am a great interviewer

You totally hit the nail here. I am sorry.

That's why during interviews I preferred to put my hacker hat instead of more corporate-business-look-how-big-we-are-this-is-our-vision-bullshit.

I did quite a bit of interviews (on the hiring side) for almost a decade and I find the current recruitment processes to be basically stupid and over-complicated --both for the applicant and the employer is a huge waste of time. Look, if yo

Just in case someone is curious, from my archive this MIDI file is from Aug, 1994 (!!!) and renders like this: https://soundcloud.com/pantulis/swing-out-sister-breakout

If you don't update your iPad, if apps stop working it's because the app developer has declared your iPad obsolete probably because older APIs are not supported. It's not something about the iPad or Apple per se. It's h

Yup, design people are very fond of things like Miro, but this is very behind that. Here's hoping that some Diagrams-like capabilities are added to this (yes, I am aware of unofficial plugins for Excalidraw or Draw.io)

I collected them from FTP sites and still keep them (later on vanbasco.com made hoarding MIDIs unnecessary) One of my guilty pleasures is to get a well done MIDI file from that era and render it using my Kronos and Logic loaded with NI, Art

Also, performance is mind-blowing. Still I am not really sure that the tradeoff makes it worth against non-FP frameworks a la Rails.

I am curious, what do you think is what holds Rails from being useful for going beyond the MVP. In 15 years I've seen my fair share of Rails projects going to production and keep evolving with the business, and not in the startup worl

You are correct, I was comparing TopSpeed against Turbo C 2 and Turbo Pascal 5.

Astigmatism is a bitch in the way that you cannot compensate it by moving closer or further relative to the computer screen. You need to use your prescription glasses or you will face eyestrain, period. I have heavy myopia, astigmatism an

I believe much of the love for Modula-2 comes not from the language, but the development environment from ex-Borland Jensen & Partners, TopSpeed Modula-2. It was even better than the Turbo suite from Borland.

Yeah, specially with non native english speakers, it is hard to distinguish what they are talking about, and if I correctly remember they are totally different in approach.

Well, it has to have something beyond price if it's taking by storm the editor arena that always has had great editors. I think it has gained its place in the eternal emacs vs vim discussion, and that's a feat to be reckoned. I

Great insights there. I would add that enterprise CIOs paying Oracle through the nose are not idiots, and would have analysed the tradeoffs. Of course there is no company that does not have a migration plan for its workloads but, like mai

Because it hails from a different and terrible era. It's easy to forget the impact that jQuery had in front-end development.

This is exactly the kind of lack of logging info that exasperates any on call person.

I think there should be an counterpart to "log analysis" which is "logging strategies for your app". Which should be WHAT to log and WHEN. Stuff like, if you are exposing an HTTP endpoint, you should log the request UR

This is the poster child use case for "unless", IMHO. Anything else (at least for me) is more difficult to read, it's probably due to being exposed to all thos other languages that do not have that syntactic construct. Using

Also, serving images from shared NFS mounts was not the best of ideas. I remember when S3 came out and the Rails attachment plugins ecosystem quickle added support; it was a godsend.
