Thanks for clarification! Good to know. I often find it hard to learn and retain the multiple meanings / history of words in a second language. I do know de Heer, and Herengracht etc. I just hadn’t put that together that it’s same orig

Interestingly in the Netherlands they do express things via taste words. Lekker (meaning tasty) can describe an experience, doing something well and more. Heerlijk (meaning delicious) can also be used. I found a gravestone with the transla

They are effectively sugar on JS promises which are effectively sugar around async event callbacks. This is why node rose so quickly in popularity as a server. The async IO handling could be leveraged with callbacks to scale low number of p

The quality of like is a personal reflection, but cycling is not inefficient, for door to door short trips bike is literally faster than public transport (which is also specifically pretty good in Amsterdam) and driving. The layout out citi

I live in the Netherlands. We bike rather than just walk everywhere, and generally people do more frequent small shops rather than big weekly shop. It takes some imagination and a lot of urban planning work, but quality of life improves dra

We use it at GitHub, indeed I just updated the version we use for development this morning! Great project.

I work for GitHub (although writing in an entirely personal capacity) and the segment in the GitHub Universe Keynote today said that 30% of Python code (written by users with copilot extension active) was written with copilot help. I don’t

This is true in politics and religion as well, the outward facing representation of a group is often defined by its loudest proponents. They are often not representative of the group. But external perception is still important and easily sh

Companies plus VCs do it to employees all the time too. You often get told in joining “you’re getting x% of the company with back of the envelope calculation if we sell for y that would be worth x% of y”, but few founders are honest about t

They also have an “upgrade” button in docker desktop that means purchase, rather than a version upgrade. I understand that they aren’t the first to call buying a licence an upgrade (although I’m not sure you get much software wise for doing

Those services don’t, but as a Mastodon user, it doesn’t seem such an unlikely suggestion. I have been impressed with fediverse since I joined about a year back, and love the that the feed isn’t manipulated, and that censorship is often the

I miss the full keyboard so much. I didn’t need predictive text, had real tactile feedback and that little wheel mouse was pretty good too. The amount of typos and reliance on auto-correct (often incorrectly correcting) proves that this the

Yeah, it’s really fast. In fact before I joined, I also set up a default CodeSpaces environment for my own repo and then I was up and running in only a few minutes, and that was the first time so I was learning and reading the docs. I could

Well I use them for regular dev in work too on especially larger repos with heavier toolchains, and both are big plusses for me personally!

I’ve very recently become a GitHub engineer, and I got pre-access to the beta too and I must say - my absolute favourite thing about CoseSpaces is being able to dev on a repo you don’t work on regularly and probably wouldn’t contribute if i

The reason is ChimeraOS (used to be GamerOS) which completely took over SteamOS’s position as a big picture Steam Linux OS, and the method used on top of Arch base was such that you as a user didn’t have to generally customise anything, and

Well, contributing apps that do stuff you want a Linux phone to do, working on the existing apps you want to bring to the mobile form factor. Also submitting issues and spreading the word help. Mastodon is where many of the developers in op

Work on PinePhones and Librem 5 is going well. There are still issues of course but I’ve been blown away by the community efforts to iron out the issues. You can get Linux Signal and you’d still need to have it connected to an android or iO

I presume they mean due to only having such a short time to deliver, they aren't paid to expend time on being careful, rather than malice.

Do you have a simple guide for retail investers? For example will I be able to buy stocks via apps like Robinhood or Revolut? I am intrigued by your offering, and for a retail trader holding LTSE stocks could be a better investment than a
