Small phones do exist. I'm quite happy with my Unihertz Jelly.

Umm, if I read it correctly, your barman pours Guinness into 100MB glass and empties rest of the bottle into drain. I'd rather drink straight from the bottle. Like, you know, the cat does it.

Just look at the project site (which at this point is a README on github). I see a few lines about upgrade issues, absolutely nothing about project itself. What improvements or changes over Xorg are implemented? Roadmap of future changes? W

Thanks for reference. This pretty much confirms what is written between lines on linked site.

ORM is not as much solution to a problem as it is way of doing things. Certain kind of programmers observe that SELECT is kinda like getter, UPDATE is like setter and so on… It looks like cool abstraction, relatively straightforward to impl

Absolutely. I've hardly ever done bieliptic transfer in KSP, but I stick to bieliptic plane changes for almost every big inclination change. Δv savings can be huge.

Services should be designed either as providers, which herd data and do nothing on their own, and workers which actually do stuff but hold no data of their own. Think daemon with a REST api, siting on a database and cronjob implementing som

Executive summary: "Kernel devs refused to drop everything and immediately start rewriting their code in Rust, which means that linux is inevitably doomed." This seriously reminds me of Java zealots in worst days of Java Everywher

I'd say find some screenshot of Windows 95 with multiple applications running and marvel at it. Google Workspace administration console is good example of UI in many ways less capable and useful then what I used twenty years ago. To n

I hate the way GUI apps are devolving back to nineties. Resizable windows, clipboard, theming, menus, keyboard shortcuts… stuff that made computers easier to use is disappearing. Apps nowadays are created by graphic designers who don't

Once upon a time, I was tasked to rewrite build scripts for windows based team from .bat files to bash scripts (via a git-bash). People on that team were not exactly unix fans, in fact they resisted hard almost everything coming from us lin

I, for one, see this as improvement, affixed cap is convenient most of the time. If it's not, its easy to tear it away. IMO real problem with caps is that this was not invented by VC backed startup, which makes it ideological challenge

to quote about distro packages: "To be blunt, this dependency management system never should have been allowed. It caused no end of confusion for everyone…" Yeah, package management that actually works must be terribly confusing t

I have recently had unfortunate experience of being tasked to dockerize python project depending on ML "library" (namely, rembg). I hope to never, ever touch ML crowd crap again.

To trigger a rebuild, you first need to know relevant upstream updates. To recognize them, you need to know your dependencies. Docker provides no means to track dependencies. In fact, avoiding dependency knowledge is one of its major sellin

Just out of curiousity – what other languages do you know and use?

Rust language has pros and cons, like everything. Rust community sometimes exhibits this "everything needs to be rewritten in our favorite toy language, NOW" attitude that reminds me of worst times of Java hype. Then again, every

I'm not sure I understand this. Do you mean having an app instance using library code from local git instead of pip package? I do that all the time with a Makefile and some symlinks.

What a great article. We start with learning that we absolutely need this Poetry thing because… it's what everyone else uses. It's refreshing to see author who can skip usual badly argued justifications and just plain admin that h

You are going from one extreme to other and in my experience this will end up messy, unless interface in question really allows for all possible parameter combos. I'd rather ask which params are required and give a serious thought to s

Unihertz Jelly. Look it up. You can install all the social media crap you want, but there is not much doomscrolling to be had on that tiny 3" screen. Same thing with internet - browser is there, but I only ever used it in dire circumst
