I had exactly the same feeling when reading this blog. Sure, the techniques used to find the solutions are really interesting. But the claim more than they achieve. The problem sta…

Not only did these techniques save me money, but they also saved me a considerable amount of time. I've employed these same strategies at work and private to navigate away from req…

I 100% do exactly the same. I gave up following what's new in Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning?) years ago. 99% of it is distraction, and not worth my time to find that la…

But can it run Doom?

I installed solar panels and AC.

Well, of course, I could put a version number on top of each page... but hey, what's the fun about that?

I used this library very often when writing a new paper. When the paper was a draft I would put coffee stains on the pages. In this way, I always knew if I was looking at a draft o…

The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable from Nassim Taleb. I'm rereading the book for the third time. Previous two times were in 2015 and 2019.

I still have a working X60s from 2006. Really liked that laptop. Unfortunately, for modern standards, the battery life is not great, a couple of hours at most. And the resolution i…

Of course I don't know. This is just pure speculation. But perhaps it's just not that hard to build a trading platform with just a couple of (very good) developers? Not having sepa…

LAMP + Wordpress, works fine for me.

Am I the only one using vanilla vim with a minimal configuration file ( Very easy to setup. Moreover, when I'm on a different computer and open (vanilla) vim without any configurat…

I once asked a girl for a date who responded with "I cannot make it, because I have to polish my nails tonight." When I asked if she could make it tomorrow, she answered that she a…

There is absolutely no reason to have 8 cheesy indirect ways of saying no when, "I'm very sorry, but I cannot do it" (or something in these lines) is a perfectly fine way to say no…

I'm not coding for 30 years (yet), but I have some code from 10 years ago that is still running and being used today. The fun part: all code that had "fancy new technology" in it h…
