As long as you're not breaking the law / hurting people, does the struggle really matter? The best way I've been able to make people listen to me is by just presenting them with options and results. If you do it this hacky wa

I haven’t seen any cognitive / mood difference for me when taking magnesium supplements in any form. But then I went to one of those sensory deprivation chambers, where they use magnesium salts to change the water’s buoyancy. I felt th

I think the idea is to use a book that you have already read in your language, maybe even multiple time (favourite book). This way your mind already has all the associations stored in your brain for easy access, and you just need to link it

It is not about the bikes themselves, but building the city to promote one transport mode against another. If your city has nice green public spaces linked by bike lanes, and has a good “human” level of density where most of the stuff you a

What is the self-hosting story I wonder? If we have our own Postgres db (placed in a specific region for compliance), and we put gel onto our k8s cluster as they state in their docs, does it work well? I assume this type of deployment is fr

The one thing you _need_ to pack, apart from visa docs required for travel, is a credit/debit card. Anything you’ve missed can be purchased on location. Traveling to rural Vietnam looked daunting and dangerous for people from the EU, b

If you do PRP treatments a few times a year, apparently the transplants hold indefinitely. Or so I have been told by my doctor…

Full chop is indeed awesome, also solves a lot of other side issues - look dangerous so people take you more seriously - always have a “good haircut” - swimming / bath - no need to dry hair - solves dandruff immediately Just positives

There seems to be quite a lot of detail in all of these drawings, I wonder if one can't reconstruct an actual street view given all that data, and a few historical paintings to "seed the color and style" a bit. Probably not i

We use terraform to manage both raw manifests as well as helm charts. It works reasonably well for either, just need to configure to ignore some annotations from time to time. This allows one to easily stitch together both k8s as with all y

I’ve found that with a good dotfiles[1] setup + cloud storage, it is better to just reset the whole system and re-install whatever is needed. The ability to do that is actually quite powerful as both disaster recovery and getting new hardwa

I think this guide misses the point that “JOIN” is not a root keyword but a modification on “FROM”. It is more akin to logical “AND”, “OR”, etc. And this stacks much better once you start doing complex joins especially when you can add pare

I think the problem is that in a lot of places in the west bicycles are forced to mix with motor vehicles, and away from pedestrians. This always seemed like a weird trade off to me - “you are inconveniencing some pedestrians, so go in this

You might need stronger environmental queues for your body to wake up. The body has both internal and external data to know when you have to wake up - lights, noise levels etc. If you set up your bedroom “too well” - quiet, light blocking r

This is a very American way of thinking about it - not invented here vibes all over. Of course people don’t choose to be obese, but the culture and environment inevitably pushes you to it. A proof of that is that there are places in the wor

I’d love to hear more stories of people using Effect in production codebases. It looks very similar in its ideas to fp-ts (in the “let’s bring monads, algebraic types etc to typescript” sense). But I did hear from teams that embraced fp-ts

I’ve read many books, fiction and nonfiction, but the one that has truly changed me for the better in the long term, was “How to win friends and influence people”. Its premise is extremely simple (simplistic even) and you can boil it down t

There was a saying that before learning postgres in depth, the db is just a dumb store of data for devs, once you spend time to learn the tools it provides though, most applications just look like a very thin layer on top of the sql. There

I always thought that generated code is generally considered a bad idea, but generating types on the other hand is a bit more feasible. So I wrote a small utility to generate typescript types based on openapi files, so that they can be ap

Being an individual developer that does think about those things, even if they are not actually doing them but at least helping with all those checks, is a strong differentiator for promotion and higher pay. As an employer you _want_ these

While not part of the compiler, the dialyzer’s types are quite nice, even if sometimes it is a bit clunky - I’ve noticed that most of the time when I thought it was “wrong” it actually wasn’t and had picked up on some bug / misundersta

As a matter of fact - no I haven’t. My experience with types is TypeScript, Elixir and a bit of Scala. I always try to have “clojure style” types where I don’t try to be too prescriptive - don’t lock things down if you don’t need to, just t

There was a saying that technology usually has inertia, if it was used for 30 years, and is used actively now, it will probably still be in use 30 years in the future. I learned vim by necessity after shying away from this weird old tech fo

Hmm, rarely have I thought types were a burden, rather than help, maybe I’m weird. Maybe I spend effort in making sure my types are useful and easy to work with, but one previous TypeScript I got to a state where _all_ of my database querie
