In _theory_ using a thin-client and booting into a cloud machine means you can "upgrade" your machine in a couple years w/o having to replace the thin-client. Could be easier for g…

I also think "adoptability" should be a consideration. Perhaps AsciiDoc would be a slightly better fit, but every developer I know is already familiar with MarkDown and at the end …

I use VaultWarden to store my 2FA info which (aside from being very handy) replicates the codes offline on each device I sync my vault to.

I think Go's generics are reasonable, but not quite powerful enough to scale. It's all well and good to generalize basic containers and functions (good, in fact), but I wish the la…

I think this is an interesting idea, though I suspect "on net the status quo is worse environmentally" is a hard question to answer w/o the aforementioned in-depth reviews (at leas…

The concept sounds good in theory, but I think it's going to be nigh unworkable in practice. The NCLB/high-stakes testing era exposed many problems with tying educator pay to stude…

It's not needed right _now_, perhaps, but wait a few months or a few years. Next time the job market shifts back to the employers, the incentives will align the other way.

The auto-completion alone is worth it IMO. I've been using fish for 6 or 7 years now, and having it hint ahead some obscure command that I only use once a month saves me so much ti…

Surprised I had to scroll this far to see this. It's an objectively cool project, even if it doesn't make the most financial/business sense. Doesn't seem like that's the point.

I keep a .dotfiles git-repo similarly. The configs/custom scripts/etc are organized into separate folders by what they do (shell config/work tools/...) and I use GNU Stow to symlin…

One particularly annoying case comes up when using IIFEs: let c = a + b (() => { ... })() This is evaluated as: let c = a + (b(() => {...}))() which usually results in "TypeError: …

I have, in moments of desperation, `chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf` before. I understand the rationale behind managing that with a more robust service, but in my experience that's much…

This seems like a cool concept, but I didn't try it out because the demo requires FULL READ-WRITE access to my GitHub account, its organizations, and private details! Surely readin…

Not sure if it's just me, but the website is -really- slow in Firefox. Like, the refresh rate/frame rate is terrible.

I 100% assumed that's what this would be until I clicked on it. I feel like a large portion of (especially beginner) SSH users don't really understand asymmetric encryption enough …

This is true, though Ethernet seems to be an endemic problem. I have a ~$300 Dell WD19TB that works flawlessly to drive a couple displays, audio out, USB hub, and card reader, but …

I mean, assuming you run the server for this app on the same LAN as your CalDAV server, you don't have to directly expose it to the internet. That said, my Radicale server is expos…

From the article it sounds like the main issue is that they lost years worth of building their brand/community/user-base and aren't sure they'll ever be able to publish to the play…

Not saying you're wrong, but do you have a source for the 60/1000x number? Curious to read more.

I use an add-on called Codeblocks. It lets you select a block of text and will format it as monospace w/ syntax highlighting in various themes. Not quite as good as native support …
