I’d argue Terraform/HCL is quite popular as a Level 4 configuration language. My biggest issue with it is that once things get sufficiently complex, you wish you were using a Level…

I really like lazygit when I need something quicker and more ergonomic than the VSCode git extension. I’m still partial to magit over everything else but lazygit has replaced a lot…

As someone who’s too young to have been around for HyperCard, what was the main draw? Was it the accessibility of the tech or was it just really well executed?

If these vehicles tackle the roads of Boston, there will be no stopping this company. That place has one of the most confusing road networks I’ve ever seen in addition to some of t…

From what I got out of the article and my own limited understanding of double entry bookkeeping, the "double" seems to be referring to the part where we split a transaction into cr…

The most interesting takeaway from this article for me was that there's an inverse correlation between the number of syllables spoken per second and the bits of information conveye…

Oh boy I sure hope I receive my grandmother's Monero cold wallet in her will!

As someone who has managed keycloak in production for work, it's a solid solution but boy is it easy to make mistakes that cause difficult to debug issues. It's a headache that doe…

I stopped being interested in poker when I realized that by far the best strategy is simply to play with the worst players you can find. Everything else pales in comparison to simp…

Brokers fees for the apartment in Cambridge I rent were $4k. This was in addition to first and last months’ rent. Extremely annoying but when every other apartment is doing it too,…

> Also, oh, man, Jazelle. I'd forgotten about that. Hardware support for Java bytecode... that did not pan out well. As someone who was too young to be paying any attention during …

Honest question: what do we even do? I'm not European but it seems like you can't talk about the "housing crisis" without having to specify whether you're talking about Europe, Can…

> You can already rent compute globally and perform computation in an environment orders of magnitude faster than on the EVM True, but Ethereum also has the benefit of having a glo…

In my haste I guess I didn't make this clear enough, sorry. By "blockchains" I was trying to emphasize the fact in Nano that we are talking about many blockchains as opposed to one…

From looking around the internet I am starting to believe I might be the only person holding crypto strictly because I just happen to think it's neat. I think it's interesting that…
