Covid or not, you should test for vitamin deficiency and supplement if necessary. I do it every 3 month via Thriva (UK) and can see the progress.

Keep in mind that Lite version barely has any instruments so you'll have to either use 3rd-party plugins or rely on sampling. A few month ago I decided to start fresh and removed all pirated DAWs, plugins, purchased Lite version and st

I honestly don’t understand why people use LastPass when everything about it screams poor quality. Is it the lack of taste or alternatives for non Apple platforms?

I dunno, YouTube's catalog of originals is so tiny it can be watched during free trial. Even if Netflix catalog is smaller outside US it's still huge, originals are great and I'm willing to pay for it.

Also, stopping hating JavaScript and embracing it allowed me to do awesome things. I used to be a system/backend-only engineer, but once you get your head around UI, you get a lot more freedom. And it's not just about getting MVPs

It's totally fine to be a nerd about your tools, but sometimes, productivity comes when you stop being one. I had major productivity boosts after switching from a nerdy tool, to a more mainstream one: Linux -> Mac Vim -> Emacs -&

It uses Jedi under the hood, works ok for me. Sometimes it can't figure out the type, but that's when type annotations come handy.

VSCode has out of the box debugger, git integration, higher quality of extensions, etc... Overall it feels more polished and professional. But the most important thing is alive ecosystem - a lot of Sublime plugins are either dead or in main

I'm trying to say, that at that period of time, MacOS 9 was stuck in the past, even compared to Windows. This was in reference to Emacs limitations as a platform.

Sorry, I didn't mean it to be hostile. But you're right, I'm expressing my frustration, perhaps a bit sarcastically. Of course everyone's needs and preference are different, I'm not trying to say I am the source of

I get the point about Emacs being a OS, but don't you think it's kind of a dated clunky OS? Like "Mac OS 9" was, lacking memory protection and pre-emptive multitasking. Why would anyone want to be limited by technology w

But you can extend IDEs just as well as you extend your vim/emacs. Not to mention, that for some users it's more convenient to hack extensions in Python (Sublime), Javascript/Coffee (Atom) or Typescript (vscode), rather than

I spent quiet some time setting up mutt or trying to make a real IDE out of vim or Emacs, but in the end it's just cargo cult and waste of time. There a modern email clients, IDEs, polished operating systems, etc., all built in this ce

It doesn't break fonts completely but uses new default fonts instead of whatever spacegray specifies.

Excited to hear news from Sublime team! I tried the new beta: it kinda breaks fonts in old themes (I use spacegray) but the new Adaptive theme looks pretty (I wish I could reduce tab bar height, though). Also enjoyed switching UI and syntax

It totally depends on task at hand. If you have a db/forms heavy project than Rails/Django gives you advantage, if your project is more driven by interactions and subtle UX then SPA lets you focus on that. Like, imagine how hard i

Modern SPA tools require heavy tooling, which is fine but too overwhelming for a beginner. Even if the tools are easy to set up (create-react-app, next.js) they are thick layers, and when you start you better be closer to basics. jQuery is
