> The battery lasts for days as well, which you can't really beat. The Garmin Instinct 2X's (and 3) battery lasts for 40 days in smartwatch mode, not counting the solar charging. T…

For backlinks, have a look at Andy Matuschak's note-link-janitor: https://github.com/andymatuschak/note-link-janitor/ I wrote my own version of it a few years ago, but have moved o…

Yes, it's still called "ASP.NET Core", even though ".NET Core" was renamed ".NET" from version 5 -- not to be confused with ".NET Framework 5", which was renamed ".NET Core 1.0" be…

You can modify the login flow in Keycloak to make it more or less just pass through the credentials/claims, but that's not the default. Maybe something like this: https://ultimates…

First, Angular uses classes, and React supports class-based components. Then, if you have converted lots of Javascript into Typescript, you have probably found several type-related…

Yes, I think Zapier is a B2B version of IFTTT.

> Where do you stop? If you assume Newtonian time, which extends back to minus infinity... well, what caused time to exist at all? You stop at the uncaused first cause or the unmov…

The principle of sufficient reason states that everything must have a reason or a cause. This is not a principle to lazily toss aside to avoid some more difficult question, it is a…

For those people unfamiliar with this joke, watch the TV show Seinfeld.

There's also the lamp VINDKAST, which in English is "wind throw" or "flurry".

"The ultimate glue and scripting language" is taking it too far, I think. I have loved Python too, but fell out of love a long time ago. Julia is much better in many ways, _in my o…

When picking a git workflow, you should start with your system's and your team's requirements in mind. Don't just copy git-flow or GitHub's simplified version. Not every team or sy…

Commit messages should describe the change , not the code. This explains why the code was changed from whatever it was before, but not what the code does. This can be important inf…

> Good "leadership" decisions in my opinion are really about good delegation and organisation of a team's resources, you shouldn't really be taking "lead" in any actual decision ma…

Yes, I switched to TiddlyWiki a year ago, and haven't regretted it. I tried Evernote, Notion, Org-mode, Dynalist, Zettlr -- and looked at Dendron, Roam, Obsidian and so on. I think…

The more code is used, the more bugs are found. So new code is expected to contain more unknown bugs than old, well-used code. But this is a function of usage, not of time itself.

Yep, me too! There is actually a link between high GI and sleepyness; orexin. It's a chemical messenger in the brain, and if you have very little of it, you have narcolepsy. If you…

You skipped some parts. God has always wanted humans to "be perfect", if by that we mean without sin. We have always failed at this, and God has always gotten angry. This starts in…

Have you tried Zettlr? I used and liked it for a while, before moving on to TiddlyWiki; https://www.zettlr.com

You can e.g. sync with Syncthing and write notes (on Android) with QuickEdit. Or use Dropbox and some Markdown editor with Dropbox support?

Not the same extension, but Dendron actually has one: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dendron....

> Why are any of these things true? Since you challenge the post here instead of flat-out ignoring it, I believe you think at least some of it may be true, and you want to know mor…

And probably because you work with one of the most popular languages and frameworks in the world? Try an old, obscure niche language, and the experience will change completely.

The "10k hours rule" is of course just a rule of thumb, with a lot of exceptions depending on the skillset. I believe the number of hours required for mastering the violin was 25k.…
