I am extremely grateful to my parents who made me feel "well off" despite growing up in the 90' Russia. Only when I got older I found out that often times they didn't have enough money to buy food. Explains the constant

I think I solved it to a reasonable degree given the situation. Took a few years and about 50 of PRP and hyaluronic acid injections inside the knee joint, one SVF procedure (probably the most efficient thing), and regular muscle strengtenin

When I was in beginning of my 20s I would put blind trust in doctors. Unfortunately I had a ligament tear in my knee and after 4 surgeries I developed some pretty bad pains. I took a vacation and scheduled visits to 10 orthopedic surgeons w

I realize that Vercel is a business, but NextJS increasingly looks like just a way to sell serverless with goin all-in on RSC instead of continuing of what made NextJS popular in the first place: eliminating webpack pains and SSR out of the

I am in love with travelling, and one of my dreams is travelling with friends. But my friends, not being from a 1st world country or having a high paying job, can't afford that. I have tried on several occasions offering to pay for the

Groupping several updates inside a transaction actually makes it faster because database doesn't have to "commit" changes for each one. This has diminishing returns however, if too much data changes inside a transaction it ca

That's what I was expecting, and what I got from Google and Netflix website, but it flat out refused to open up. Through some mystic fuckery it worked via VPN for me, but not for my wife (same exact VPN server).

An unplesant surpsise I got from Netflix is when I went to a vacation to Thailand and got welcomed with "you can't watch it here" screen. Customer support told me I can only watch Netflix in the country I purchased it from. T

In the past I have written a script for skyscanner that goes through a list of countries and searches for the lowest price. Usually price difference isn't that big, but you can save a few bucks this way.

same story with Google One, they say "this feature is now available worldwide", but somehow worldwide doesn't include my country.

These new ARM chips are almost perfect, the only bad part is... ARM. Most backend devs these days use Docker, and serious Docker usage on M1/M2 macs isn't really possible due to bugs and super slow performance. I was doing benchma

My concern with NextJS is that they aim to do work that's good for Vercel and not for developers. That's why we see such a push for faster build times while severally restricting flexibility of the framework, so they can save mone

I am Russian, so I am going to explain the way I and my friends and relatives that I speak to think about Ukrainians. We consider Ukrainians brothers in the best way possible. We don't care what language you speak, but it feels especia

It may be semantics, but even by law a murder is different based on person's motivation. If John kills Jane because she is black it is different than killing her by reckless driving. In this war civilians are getting killed because of

According to Wiki "Genocide is the intentional destruction of a people, usually defined as an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group...". The initial goal of this war was to change Ukraininan government to a more friendly on

I hate Putin and completely oppose this war, but there's no genocide. Putin's words are that Russians and Ukranians are the same people and Ukraine is not a real country, but a part of Russia. There are many casualties among civil

I am a bit conflicted here. On the one hand I hate VK because it has censorship, they provide tools to police to monitor conversations and crack down on people. On the other, now that Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are banned it leaves ev

I think my case is definitely not a good example for a healthy work life balance, but going to tell it nonetheless, maybe someone finds themselves in this story. Been coding 60+ hours per week for the last 9 years, usually do programming on
