Creative. I probably have the persistence and interest to pull something like this off, but I lack the fantasy to come up with such cool projects. Luckily there's the internet to see what impressive stuff people come up with.

I've been using this the last year for navigating larger code bases where my usual terminal editor falls a bit short because this looks clean and minimal but has all the IDE navigation features like file system trees and LSP functional

That is beautifully said. I too have had to learn in my life with a not entirely neurotypical brain that what connects people in everyday life is just that flawed humanness, and one's attitude towards it in oneself. There is admiration

Some viruses intercept the interrupt handler, detect if you're trying to write to the boot sector, then either fake a write or change the sector. I believe some forms of ParityBoot (B?) did this. So you need to be sure you're boot

While I haven't kept up to date with Event Sourcing, the README referenced is a surprisingly in-depth tour of Postgresql functionality and internals, and typical relational database gotchas related to sequences, queues, transaction rel

Sony Xperia 5v and 10v are two current phones that reasonably sized and still have a headphone jack and memory card slot. Not the flagship Xperia 1v though, I think that one's a bit bigger.

I implemented a tool in Go based on the "Bag It" format spec for open data repositories. I remember investigating if it's possible to validate the contents of a very large ZIP file in an API without uploading multiple gigabyt

A few years back, I wrote some code that generates a sortable 128-bit UUID-like identifier starting with a milliseconds-since-epoch timestamp, a node number and a random byte tail. It has been working fine in Postgresql, using its builtin U

Is that collective punishment, or putting the end goal before other concerns? I would hope most managers do not want to punish workers, but will insist things need to get done, and done well, in time and on budget. It's the subtle bala

These objective ecosystem overview articles are pretty interesting to get a good idea of what options are available and what their respective state and rate of adoption is. Especially as a senior developer or consultant, it pays dividends t

I've been using the Nokia N9 and some of the Jolla Sailfish offspring to this day. The phone part has been very reliable. The rest of the ecosystem is very minimal, almost non-existent, but I can't complain about the basic phone f

You've got a point, but depression often leads to isolation. One clear benefit to therapy is that – if the therapist is any good – you will get a relatively neutral, objective opinion reflected back at you. Friends, community and relig

A higher number of sexual partners impairs pair bonding. And obviously if that number is around 23 partners, the odds are not great. I'm not a traditionalist myself, I'm merely stating there are real non-political non-moral reason

You can also say true things that do not fall under free speech, like publishing somebody's home address. Clearly there's some balance to be found in releasing details about intimate relationships.

Whenever I tried to get into packaging something during the years, I've bumped into politics and policy issues associated with each project to a lesser or greater degree. Technical knowledge is not enough, you must also really get into

I've been using the gjson (get) and sjson (set) libraries this is based on for many years in Go code to avoid deserialising JSON responses. Those libraries act on a byte array and can get only the value(s) you want without creating str

My system Python tree is almost 1GB. That doesn't matter for desktop systems, but most software is published as container images these days and using a language like Python, Ruby or Perl for an image that doesn't already need it i

Unlikely to happen if there are still Java services running in that stack. For instance ElasticSearch/OpenSearch is good at what it does (which is full-text search) but pumping massive amounts of logs into it is never going to be a lig

There's no doubt there are more vegans and vegan alternatives, but this does not seem like an unbiased news source to paint an accurate picture of what's actually going on. There are lots of factors at play, including the economy,

This gist is from 2018, last updated 2019. I wonder if there have been any recent relevant developments to warrant an update to these recommendations, as some comments from the comment section indicate.

I just got a new Thinkpad Yoga from work. It came with Ubuntu pre-installed, but I installed Arch. I'm actually surprised this model has the option of Ubuntu when ordering. So far so good; now that I've got something newer, I&#x27

But every country probably has some of those people and the equipment needed. So it doesn't really bring us closer to figuring out whodunit.

A simple vanity domain solution, like for Go packages, seems like it could work. Just redirect the whole URL directly to the actual registry's URL. I don't know if container signature tools support multiple registry locations thou

In all fairness, curl is purely a software tool. Docker is arguably more like a service. As such, it creates costs for and direct dependency on the entity behind it.

IDEs make sense when you have one or a few large year-long coding projects. If a lot of your time is spent focussing on Ops and Sec, jumping between directories all over the file system and making little changes here and there, firing up an

The generator returns the same sequence every time. For instance Kubernetes CSI drivers have a supposedly unique csiProvisionerIdentity but it uses math/rand without seeding so they're all using the integer number 8081.

But I don't want to click (or not even click) and install random stuff from the internet. It's a security, performance and stability risk. My editor should do what I tell it to, not go solo. While I understand your viewpoints, my
