It’s not just the speed. The costs are depressing as well. A 50Mbps connection (DSL, because cable is not even available in this area) at my current location costs €40/month. 40! It’s mind-blowing.

Beancount is really cool. I've been using it for about 2 years now and really like it so far. I'm also maintaining an "awesome" resources list for Beancount here - https://awesome-beancount.com/ , in cas

> don't do it unless you're done with coding Kind of, yes. I guess it depends on the workplace. Some companies still allow managers to code for a certain percentage of their time, while some don't. But you're right -

A lot of companies these days have parallel tracks for ICs and managers, so I'm not sure that the financial motivation holds at such places.

That looks very useful. I'll be adding a resources section in the next few days. I'll make sure I link to this Github repository, if that's OK with you!

I’ve been working on collecting a list of interviews that answer exactly this question. Here’s a link - https://devtomanager.com . Hope you find it helpful!

I haven't tried Mamoto/Piwik, but from the looks of it they look like they have a pretty heavy feature set. If it works for you, I don't see any reason to switch. But if you prefer something that's intentionally low on f

For the surveillance conscious I can also recommend using Fathom ( https://usefathom.com ). I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and have only good things to say.

There are things you can do to achieve async in Django. But I only used Django terminology because Django is more popular than other frameworks.

There are some use cases in web programming. For example, if a request handler (view, in Django's terminology) is in turn calling out some external endpoints, you don't want those external requests to block other requests to your

I've been writing web apps using Tornado since 2013 and that has been an excellent experience. But I'm not sure if I have the same opinion of asyncio. To be honest, I don't even know if I understand it completely. There are s

If they can inject something like that in the output, they can also do something funky on your dev machine. Which means I shouldn’t be installing any npm package.

Nim is pretty amazing. I spent last week writing some toy programs and it reminded me of Python - in the sense that it allowed me to write working code within a few hours of picking up the language. The “optional namespaces” thing is some

I don't like this trend either. What I particularly don't like is that to be signed in into multiple Slack communities, I need to add them to the Slack desktop app. And the more apps I have, the worse the desktop app seems to perf

Do you know of good tutorials on ttk? I keep on reading that the look and feel provided by ttk is much more native than tk, but I can hardly find a good relevant tutorial.

A bit off topic, but why is it a trend these days to use "cancer" for things that have nothing to do with the disease? It sounds a bit insensitive.

Is there a correlation between "do their job" and "learning the latest thing"? I've often heard that the best advice is to use the most boring/stable tools which tend not to be the latest and the greatest but w

I wonder if it’s possible to keep track of what existed at the pixel (or whatever the technically correct term to use here is) at the time the user clicked there, and if a new notification overwrites that pixel, only apply the user action t
