It's anecdotal, but my experience with corporate owned apartments over past 6 years in Bay Area, when it comes to maintenance/rent hike has been positive. I think increment has been around 2% usually. Lease length are 11-15 month

Also, I presume lot of people like Fridays to be bit more relaxed, over trying to do something stressful like a release. From a more pessimistic perspective, as times goes -- code will likely get more messy and you'll likely have more

Just wondering what's the idle power usage (watt hrs) is like?

I was going to say the same. Before LSP it was constant effort to keep up with changing tools/scripts/hacks to keep all the code navigation/completion working, and it was still never as good as its now. And once in a while I&

As a lsp-mode users, why switch to eglot?

I think regardless numbers, it is usually a slow burn for situations like these. And probably plenty of people will probably not see a space to fill and try their luck. Hopefully, one of them will work.

How often websites/apps that were really good at some point, rose back from dead to glory?

Yes. I love Lightroom for that. It's very convenient and approachable. I think the dealbreaker for me for not using RawTherapee/Darktable was the performance. Lightable or Capture One are way more snappier to work with. You see re

I have a friend who worked at Stripe unit last year. He recently warned me that things are not going well, and he has heard rumors and I should avoid interviewing there. So I think they had some idea that something is going on.

I just reached my 30s, and have pretty good WLB. Good WLB is just part of the picture though. You can work 5 hours a day and be miserable, and you can work 12 hours a day and be happy. It's also nice to have flexibility and independenc

I think at risk of sounding like the people I was criticizing, I think extreme measures in short amount of time is probably not practical, at-least not without unintended negative consequences. I wont pretend to understand how the whole sys

I left my car unlocked by mistake in my buildings garage (the gate's not working for some time). Lost my sunglasses, mint and charging cable. They'd get in for anything. When I moved to SF, everyone told me to not leave anything,

I think the annoying thing about SF is you'd find way more people OK with the idea to not pursue non-violent crimes, defund the police, or reduce police presence because the relationship with community is bad and mass-incarceration is

I think, we used to called that cross-platform applications not Operating System. Honestly, it sounds trying to too hard to sound like sell a vision that already exits for a while. That's not a new idea IMO. Java wanted that, Adobe has

I'm not questioning the productivity but the feel of it, if you care about that. It always feels natural to me when weight distribution is heavier towards the keyboard. I can't speak for Surface Laptop, which I think had a bulky k

I think for me a major bottleneck of using iPad as laptop is that the screen is still gonna be on heavier compared to keyboard, and the whole combo doesn't feel as solid and sturdy as a good laptop does. iPad feel more physically free

Back when I was not on Mac, I always preferred laptops with Intel integrated graphics, regardless of performance. It was just better drivers, less battery drain and boards didn't fail either. My first laptop had NVIDIA graphics, and it

In a way it is nice way to grow Rust ecosystem quickly at-least. Likely makes existing libraries better, and fills up the missing holes in ecosystem. If everyone builds just new stuff, it will likely grow at slower pace, and much smaller ec

Wasn't sex talk tabooed in most cultures across the world, until X decades ago? Doesn't seem surprising to me, because even if the people are not necessarily religious now, certain beliefs and values would hold just because they w

I think the point he is making is in context of software engineer, which matters. When you have several option to get paid twice, 200k does seem like chump change (in Bay Area at-least). It is all relative. Don't think I'm special

I feel is kind of similar to static vs dynamic type system argument. Dynamic Type systems can work great if you have strong contracts and everyone understands how to define/maintain that, but as you grow up the team, you'd have pe

Yes, I think I had two things in mind when I said: (1) That time spent to master Emacs is much higher than say traditional IDEs. I get what you are saying. I hardly edit my Emacs config anymore, except once in a while. (2) I think I disagre

Unrelated to the post. I like old.reddit.com which the story links to :) Looks cool, although I don't understand much of graphics, I always felt, with lisp macros you can probably do bunch of cool things around graphics.

Isn't fine tuning ~= spending time configuring? How much configuration and fine tuning you need is subjective. I personally don't like using it vanilla, particularly if I'm working on a big codebase. I love all those fancy mo

I learned programming in various IDEs. Visual C++ 6, Code::Blocks etc ... Moved to Vim somehow when learning Linux, and eventually Emacs because I was programming a lot in Racket and it was just nicer there. This all predates Visual Studio

I've come to realize that there is some kind of wisdom on not caring too much about outcomes, being in present and keeping things simple. For a long time, I believed in exactly opposite, success, over-optimize - whatever I do do it rig

Except using Java ecosystem as-is would not be idiomatic in Clojure, which means you need an ecosystem of wrapper libraries. I recall someone making similar argument on some other post, on how it adds more space for bugs, performance issues

I think its quite known now that its industry jargon, but when did they start doing that as I presume it wasn't always the case.

So true! That was my introduction to binary format and serialization as a kid, probably didn't even knew what these words were back then. Or, when something crashed I think there used to be button -- "Debug" an it would open

Adding to that, I'm reading Antidote by Oliver Burkeman. One of the points that I really related to was that more you think about happiness, more likely you will find yourself unhappy. Essentially the pursuit/expectation of happin
