I've been using it since 2002 so you can imagine my opinion when jumping to other languages. They've been very good to steal all of the things that worked from other languages and constantly iterate on their core infrastructure an

You're probably doing the lefty-handed-curl. If you adopt a really weird writing position you can write without smudges. Depending on your body-type it's either easy and obvious or very uncomfortable. I'm in the latter group

I use a Rotring 600 3-in-1 and it's excellent. Although I prefer the way Uni Kuru writes as it rotates the lead as you write making everything very even. Having a very good pencil + two coloured pens in your hand is just awesome.

I've tried everything under the sun and they all smudge. Roting pencil it is.

They're also horrible to use if you're left-handed and writing English or any other left-to-right language.

Nope not at all. The first ~10 years were as a kid, so not professionally. Professionally I'm at the top of my niche and decided to work as a consultant instead of starting doing my own startup or starting an agency as I wasn't ab

That's it, it's life phase makes focus impossible, and coding is a massive drug when you're in the zone. And I was very very good a few years ago when in the zone working on highly concurrent (and distributed) systems. I felt

Coding as the fun stuff need you to be able to focus and due to responsibilities (which include a whole lot of system architecture, people management I do enjoy and can do well). Basically you get to a point in your life and career where yo

I've been coding for 35 years and I've grown to hate it. Most of the work is boring. The things I absolutely loved doing, they require focus, and focus is something I just don't get to have at this point in my life (young kid

I had to laugh hard the first time I heard about it, I mean it's a really obvious technique if you've ever done low-level programming on limited machines as it's very close to something we used to do all the time - calculate

That matches my experience: but it's to be expected as most CS degrees are applied Math not Software Engineering. You have to respect that. The thing which makes SEs good is being smart and having passion. Self-taught selects for that.

Take an intensive course. That's what I did to learn Dutch with my Dutch then girlfriend (now wife and mother of our kids). Intense, focussed and I was fluent at a higher level than many natives within a year (which says more about 50%

Given the bill that the Americans just passed.. it's going to be an absolute shit-show. The smart play was to allow AI to fuel a massive growth in production of solar panels and wind in the US which could actually rival China (who are

You can apply that logic to anything: why bother returning to the same great restaurant? Why bother with sports matches? Why buy a new car? New mobile? New computer? New TV? Why install a new version of an OS or software? It's because

Weights are code being replaced by data; something I've been making heavy use of since the early 00s. After coding for 10 years you start to see the benefits of it and understand where you should use it. LLMs give us another tool only

It's because people are reading the first few words and thinking "this is an male nerd asking stupid ignorant questions". It's that or there are people who actually think that counting days is a good way to enable unprot

Yes but as I said in my post - it's not effective. Hormone measuring strips are and they costs very little - $2 / month - and are very effective. We wouldn't have three kids now if we relied on counting days.

There is little to no standardisation in medical records. There is an International Patient Summary (IPS) which was based on the EU's version. That and the data itself is decentralised in systems which are designed to be inaccessible.

Can I ask why you use it? We used test strips - they're really cheap and way more accurate as women's bodies aren't clocks. That was effective for getting pregnant. Using anything except some kind of active measures to avoid

What we need at EU is a full build chain, infra and resourcing for one of the top-tier Linux distributions. Given the nature of Linux that's no easy thing but we're well placed to deliver on it. And I'd argue that it'll
