Fellow Inconsolata fan here. I have to say this is probably the first time I'm considering switching and maybe even paying.

From what it looks like that's some ten kilometers or 6,2 miles of scrapping beach, crazy.

"This tool won’t be appropriate for all audiobook listeners. For many, the silences matter, and removing them would degrade the quality of the book. For many, listening at 2.5x wou…

People are lazy.

I'd say it's also a question of team size and organization. Are you a singular developer, or in a large team, writing enterprise software that should be easy to pick up for someone…

Having studied mostly OOP/Java at the uni, and been using mostly C# at work, I realized I might actually start to find programming fun again through Go. I've studied it a bit recen…

I often wonder what would currently be a way to work in a more enterprisey environment and actually make stuff a little bit more fun and not all "abstract factories" etc. I'm talki…

Regarding licensing, having a degree from a good university with good grades is already a pretty good "license".

If I knew this was my last day alive, I wouldn't be here sitting at work. Living every minute as if it was your last is actually pretty difficult to do. Or perhaps it means coming …

As said before, most people are "nobodies". A small number people just happen to be both brilliant enough and be at the right place at the right time with some luck involved to str…

Doesnt' really matter in my daily life if some IDE takes 0.1 or 10 seconds to start, since it's done so rarely. Might be more annoying with an editor if you're opening files often,…

Bandcamp is nice, I've also bought many albums there. Streaming stuff I mostly listen on Tidal these days, so I can imagine I get the best possible (lossless) sound quality and don…

What would make me happy, both as a consumer and a musician, is that if I only listen to my favorite artist for the whole month, then 75 % of my monthly subscription money would go…

That's sucky. My Tidal use is mostly on my desktop computer while I do work and other stuff, so it's mostly painless like that. Spotify also had pretty good remote control features…

These days I tend to navigate more towards services that pay more to the artists for streams. In this I've found Tidal to be a good combo of lossless and master level audio with al…

Vivaldi is such a great browser, it has really wonderful and hands down the best tab management features. https://vivaldi.com/features/tab-management/

If using for example Word you can conveniently just change the background text color to black. /s

I'd also recommend Turkish getups with a kettlebell.

That's sadly the expectation these days. It's not like a journalist finds something interesting and spends a week or two writing a piece about it. The "news" should be up immediate…

Have you tried Inconsolata? I like Jetbrains Mono a lot too, but somehow still stick to Inconsolata, even after trying so many others so many times.

I'd say .NET Core with Jetbrains Rider is even better. :)

Apparently you've never worked with a very large codebase.

I like how Bill Hicks put it: "There is no such thing as death; life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves."

Libraries are pretty great. Costs very little and you have some time pressure to get it done before having to return it. Most books don't get read more than once anyway, so it's a …

Slightly offtopic too, but I would love to hear suggestions for good books on economics and/or philosophy that would discuss non-monetary profit and values. https://www.theguardian…
