As a manager, if upstream changes priorities on me but what we’re working on is almost done, I just go ahead and finish it anyways. When they eventually switch back to the original thing they are always surprised to know it’s been completed

I am not familiar with LiveView, so I'm curious. Looks like it processes UI actions server side. So, are all client interactions sent through the websocket? I remember years/decades ago we used to do that with ASP.NET, where every

His book "A new kind of science" is quite fascinating and has some interesting ideas about cellular automata. But I couldn't finish it because of how every few pages there is something about how great the author/his idea

I share the sentiment and frustration of having to fill useless boxes. However, as a manager, things go south very quick if you're not tracking what's being changed and by whom. You won't know what's included in your rel

As someone who worked at a fortune 500 company making such EMR software: There's no incentive to make the UI or workflows better. They don't pay the bills. Software is sold to the suits during dinners and baseball games, not docto

I used VSCode for a good 5 years. Before that, it was intellij (and long before that, eclipse). I have switched to neovim and have been using it for the last 5 years. I haven't had a desire to move back. There's something about us

Here's a naive bash implementation of this, just for fun: while true; do clear tail -n 5 /tmp/notes read line echo "$line" >> /tmp/notes done

One way to make the dotfile editing feedback loop faster is to tell home manager to create a symlink as opposed to writing a new file every time. That way you don’t have to do home-manager switch when a dot file changes.

Bread is indeed different nowadays, specially in the americas. Modern wheat was "invented" by Norman Borlaug in the 60s. It was genetically modified (through breeding and other means) to provide higher yield. Some places, like Ita

I noticed adding more RAM alleviates many issues with Cities: Skylines. I now have 32GB just to play that game. I'm also considering buying another machine with 64GB for the same reason. Please, help me.

I grew up being forced to eat everything in the plate. Now, as an adult, I keep doing that even though I am fully aware I don't have to. The result is that I eat much more than I should.

One of my problems with OOP is that it is often hard to compose. One could argue that most of the OOP design patterns were made as an attempt to solve that. In FP, composition is done elegantly (at the cost of increased complexity in other
