New rule: similar to Godwin's law, first person to mention "privilege" loses the argument. It is an unwinnable and deeply toxic ad hominem strategy; discount any merit of the argument and accuse the opponent of simply being t

It doesn't come as a shock but more of a sigh - there's always one. 90% of devs I know use macs. Of them, basically 100% use homebrew. So for 90% of developers, installing crystal is as easy as I said. So the criticism that it&#x2

I’m a little surprised that there aren’t any mentions of Obsidian, while there are at least two mentions of Roam. To all Roam lovers, and to all intellectuals in general, I’d recommend you to check out Obsidian [1] from the makers of D

Well thanks for pointing that out? It's still an excellent video that almost everyone should watch. It's dated, a little, but I am pretty sure it is still going to prove all to true.

So what exactly do you want? The law might be stupid, I agree it's stupid, but it's the bloody law. You wanted TW to break the law just to help our your friend? Then guess what happens? No more TW. It is literally the first item i

It was SGD to USD and you're able to use SWIFT to any country for USD (so I just pointed it at the same Singapore bank). It was slightly more expensive but still less than DBS was going to charge. It would definitely be nice if they op

Homebrew added an extremely useful `brew postgresql-upgrade-database` option which will handle that. You do have to remember to run it separately. By the way, I used to have your encyclopaedia of all world knowledge

I've said this before - I really love the concept but I can't get past the pricing. I don't think I'm cheap, but I work in a startup and have to justify what I spend, and USD$10/user/month is very steep for the

Woah. I had been kinda trialing Tailscale casually for a little while but I see they've now introduced pricing of USD$10/user/month! That's gonna be a very hard sell for what it offers. I currently handle access via wire
