People are different. I doubt the majority would prefer that over _every_ creative output. But I would 100% prefer 8h of folding laundry over inventing stories (aka creative writing) and I bet there are dozens of people who hate making musi

Without having a deeper look into it - could be a replacement for any non-profit or bigger sports club or whatever org that uses Slack or Zulip or whatever now. But that's about everything that comes to my mind...

Let's ignore CEOs. In my parents' generation it would not be absurd to buy a small house here to raise the kids in, with a single parent working and the other caring for the kids, even if you don't have a well-paying job. A d

Interesting opinions as someone from Europe who a) never watched a full episode b) never got the stuff when it was actually recent (1-2w) c) has been bombarded with, debatably really good, best-of/classic skits on youtube. I'm jus

Single customer 30k sounds a lot easier to migrate (or at least to schedule) than 12k with potentially 3k different customers (probably more like several dozens or a couple hundred)

Yes it is, potentially. Where I live (and grew up) the only game played with these type of cards is Poker, and we didn't exactly play Poker growing up - so all our local games use a different deck of card. And in other not-too-distant

My writing utensil of choice (I don't write a lot by hand) for the last decade was a whatever-its-called 0.5mm gel pen from Muji. Picked one up in my first visit to a Muji store in HK in 2012 and have since grabbed a couple more when I

I've not used python professionally for years - but I have had to do this maybe once in many years of usage. Seen it like once more in my team(s). A rounding error. I've seen someone having to do this in node like once every month

That's a weird take, we have enough stories of people growing up with mobile phones having less of a clue about desktop OSes than people aged 30-60. We have other people (seniors now) who never really clicked with computers in the 90s-

Maybe Germany is an outlier, but ISDN for telephony (less for internet) was still huge until.. I dunno, 2010? 2015? That's nearly 15 years of being the default solution for smaller companies. (and also bigger ones, and also private hou

The Jaz Drive seemed pretty good, just twice as expensive as needed. I knew a couple people who had one and it was really handy, nothing comparable (except switching actual hard disks) existed, for a brief moment in time - must have been ar

I'm not sure I agree, but I'm not disagreeing on principle. You make it sound as if something was lost, maybe recently. In the grand scheme of things I'm not that old (41) but I don't even remember how that would have

Totally worth spending a single day at some hackathon or slack time event... but not more. And it looks like a lot more.

I regularly learn and promptly forget about git switch. I guess that's what 15 years of (near) daily git usage does to you.

Point taken, maybe I got a little sidetracked with the direction of the discussion and not the original website and its content. FWIW, I think there are wikis that are non-personal (wikipedia, tech, etc) and there can be websites by individ

I can't put my finger on it but I think many people see this as two operating modes, for lack of a better term. The more monolithic and enterprisey your solution (and with bespoke DBMS), the more it leans towards anything more complex

In OP's defense, people have misunderstood spot instances years before ChatGPT existed. IMHO it's just not messaged very clearly in AWS. Yes, RTFM and all that, but I think it's easy to miss. And yes, AWS is basically the onl

It's not bike weight per se, but there's also a somewhat direct link between weight and component quality and age. I.e. no one really tests a 20y old bike with current top-end components, no one really puts 10y old groupsets on a

There is no inherent point, I was just wondering, if it's possible, why people don't use such a homegrown module layout like Rust editions in C++. I only ever worked in a couple of codebases where we had one standard for everythin

Not sure how you define "technically better" but in any way I'd add "citation needed". G+ was kinda horrible with a couple good ideas and I think the lack of widespread adoption spoke for that.
