Won't this approach eventually lead to what happened with blogging? 10-15 years ago we all had our own wordpress/static/ghost blogs hosted on our own domains, and then Blogger, Medium and Substack entered the space with the a

IntelliJ ultimate edition + other language plugins is basically this. Most alternative Jetbrains IDEs like Rubymine and Webstorm are just Intellij with a predetermined set of language plugins. I have Ruby, nodejs and related plugins install

Nobody forces you to use it, there are a lot of alternatives out there. But I have to admit that Spring Boot combined with Kotlin is the most productive development environment I have ever worked in. I am not surprised it is so popular amon

I feel the same way. The plumbing required has become so complex these last few years (if you use new technology). 10 years ago we uploaded the server/backend binary to a VM, installed postgres/mysql and configured nginx/hapr

Could this be due to the earlier albums being made without big record companies pushing into a certain direction "for marketing purposes"? The most prominent example in the metal world of this is Volbeat and to a lesser extent Met

To me the main 2 primitives that make Emacs the extensible crossplatform app/platform/os/whatever you want to call it are these: * everything is a buffer, which in essence is a grid of text, that's the UI primitive, if y

A very very small chance, but not no chance. It's very unlikely but in theory it is possible that by the start of the last stage the GC difference between place 1 and 2 is a couple of seconds. And the last 50km around Champs Elysees ar

Java is moving a lot faster now with the new 6 month release cadence but you don't need to follow every release. Sticking to LTS releases is fine for projects that require longevity. Some projects are still using 8 and will be until th

The same reason why my default stack is still Java/Kotlin with Spring and Hibernate. A stable environment, stable runtime that is guaranteed to not change too much and has a culture of backwards compatibility.

I'm having lots of issues with Hetzner machines not being available (and even the hetzner.com website). Don't know if this is related.

This project seems to be abandoned or at least dormant (last tweet from november 2019) but to anyone looking at cross platform JVM-based desktop apps check out JavaFX with OpenJFX and a recent JDK version. You can use any JVM language with

This is what technical debt means to me. Decisions/shortcuts made early in the project that lead to lots of lost time when adding something new later (the lost time is the interest payment). Good examples of this are premature microser

I think the macOS monoculture is going to go away in the next few years because on one side macOS is becoming more and more developer hostile with each release and on the other side WSL (and WSL2) is improving the Windows developer experien

This has been my theory on why in some countries the extreme-right is doing very well (Belgium for example, with Vlaams Belang and NVA). These parties seem to understand that one vote doesn't change much in the grand scheme of things a

I have been thinking a lot lately about a possible solution for a small portion of this problem: Microdependencies. I'll explain in more detail in the context of JS, but it applies to other languages as well. Currently package reposito

If I understand correctly, the difference between jpackage and GraalVM is this: Jpackage bundles a small Java VM (with only the features you use) together with your compiled bytecode into a single executable. When it runs it starts up the

yes, it looks like NestJS is a JS equivalent of a batteries included framework.

That's why they are called frameworks, they solve standard problems in a specific way and the good frameworks provide extension points so you can customize when you need to deviate a little bit. Can you give a specific example of when

This. There are so many things that are required in a modern web app that these "batteries included" frameworks provide for you that it just makes sense to use these for most standard projects. I personally use Spring Boot as my d

It's not open source but for your purposes of figuring out if audio editing is for you Reaper could be a nice introduction. It runs on Linux and works pretty similar to most commercial DAWs. You can run its evaluation mode for free ind

No argument against the one code file thing because I think it’s a great idea. But a quick comment on the JetBrains suite: With the right plugins Intellij Ultimate is also for everything (just like Vim uses language plugins) and then you ge

You would be surprised about the number of Windows Servers out there. Yes Linux and other Unixes are the winners in the server space but there is a very significant amount of Windows servers in the wild.
