I am using Windows Terminal at work. Its better than most alternatives. Yet still lacking. Its hard to describe in words without putting screenshots next to each other, but there is a lack of crispness, odd spacing, other aspects probably r

I just want a solid terminal like iterm2, terminal.app or gnome terminal for Windows. I never saw a Windows terminal that renders fonts nicely

Well, breaking change, but harmless in most instances, the other way around would be more harmful. Also that was I think a „from future import“ option so you could enable it while on python 2.7 on a per file basis

The „conspiracy theorists“ often seem to dismiss multi-factor explanations. When in fact they may be rare when you calculate for a single event, but if you consider how many events are happening across the globe it’s just not that improbabl

I have migrated tons of Python codebases from 2 to 3, i guess starting with the release of Python3.4 which was when Python3 reached a kind of production readiness (and also had gained enough trust and IIRC it had also reestablished compatib

Some of the stuff that is nowadays attributed to temperament is actually related to certain instrumentation being preferably set in specific keys that were easy to play with the available instruments. Also competing tunings on various instr

I just miss Menu bars. Which is why I use Mac OS now (thrown back to using Linux now for a few months until my new MacBook arrives). I used gnome since gnome 1.x and it apps like evince were totally cool and now they are just confusing and

I can only recommend Shogi (japanese Chess) for anyone considering Chess. Shogi is a bit faster AND if you have someone around who has more Chess-experience than you (like my father for whom chess was basically the only board game available

There is an administrative fee usually that is in the low 3 digit range per semester, I’d assume it’s still below 200€ per semester and usually includes a ticket for the local public transit. When I studied a real fee was introduced (2007 i

IMHO we are in a phase of enthusiasm, but we can already anticipate the peak and the trough of disillusionment will come. In 10 years, the pendulum will ice swung a bit back and forth and we‘ll know better what works well. I bet it’s some f

I had a subway chicken teriyaki last year (probably didn’t have a Subway Sandwich for 10 years before that). It seems their chicken is a chicken-soy-mix. At least taste and texture are that way

Key bias is that when you read old stuff and people seem to be well read it appears that way also because canons have shifted so it appears as if they read „more than the literature canon“

This. I live in southern Germany (swabia) and many village names kind of have a 'standard german' spelling and a local pronunciation. I feel like Fugging might just be a change that reflects a more austrian pronunciation in the sp

A bit of an update to my point above, it does feel a bit like Pascal to me, but kind of missing some of Pascal's nice stuff... My pet theory to the popularity is that it feels satisfying to just churn out many lines of code and in Go i

Rich Hickey[ ] has a nice talk "Simple made easy", where he differentiates between exes, the simple-complex axis and the easy-hard axis. By his definitions, you can kind of strive for easiness but get complexity, and if you aim fo

For all these years, I fail to understand the appeal of Go. I think I have grown to be quite understanding to why one would favour one or the other programming language over time, can see why some favour Haskell, some Java, some C, some TCL

You know I would agree as someone who did a lot of python and dynamic languages there is a tendency for chaos. But then I have seen just as many chaotic Java code. If even go so far to say it’s more a function of the libs/framework tha

I went to school in Germany and famously a majority of schools in Germany are half-day. My classes started at 7:30 and ended at 12:45 pm. I had the afternoon to myself, did a lot of reading and rode my bike around town and into the fields.

In a city probably, in the suburb or a rural town I think the local farmer can definitely get away with it and the mayor's wife might buy potatoes and eggs from the truck every week...

I remember this from my (German) childhood in the 90ies. But the farmer who did it used to ring a bell and shouted "Kartoffeln" without any artificial amplification. It felt like a relict from another time and I think he stopped h

I did my fair share of setting up C and C++ builds in the past and I can tell you: The difference between CMake and Autoconf is marginal, while CMake is of course a bit more versatile in terms of target build-systems, and of course its DSL
