I was mainly using Literature & Latte's paid app Scrivener for years, but recently the free open source app Joplin has become my primary drafting environment. I still recommended both -- I use Scrivener for capturing research, orga

Funnily enough, I have not been using MySQL for the last 10 years either, because I switched to Postgres and never went back.

MySQL: Wait a sec, what do I use for this table, InnoDB or MyISAM? What are the tradeoffs again? Oh, right, do I want ACID transactions or fulltext search? Man, this tradeoff sucks. PostgreSQL: Wait a sec, which schema (namespace) should I

Yay! This. Where else do we recommend arbitrary indentation levels? Nowhere. So...which is the "foolish consistency" then? Is it consistent indentation rules? Or consistently lining up arguments with function/method opening p

Register to self-host a thing named after a well-known open source standard? Nah...in fact, I'm feeling a sudden urge to make open source contributions to PlantUML and/or MermaidJS.
