Small phones do exist. I'm quite happy with my Unihertz Jelly.

Umm, if I read it correctly, your barman pours Guinness into 100MB glass and empties rest of the bottle into drain. I'd rather drink straight from the bottle. Like, you know, the c…

Just look at the project site (which at this point is a README on github). I see a few lines about upgrade issues, absolutely nothing about project itself. What improvements or cha…

Thanks for reference. This pretty much confirms what is written between lines on linked site.

ORM is not as much solution to a problem as it is way of doing things. Certain kind of programmers observe that SELECT is kinda like getter, UPDATE is like setter and so on… It loo…

Absolutely. I've hardly ever done bieliptic transfer in KSP, but I stick to bieliptic plane changes for almost every big inclination change. Δv savings can be huge.

Services should be designed either as providers, which herd data and do nothing on their own, and workers which actually do stuff but hold no data of their own. Think daemon with a…

Executive summary: "Kernel devs refused to drop everything and immediately start rewriting their code in Rust, which means that linux is inevitably doomed." This seriously reminds …

I'd say find some screenshot of Windows 95 with multiple applications running and marvel at it. Google Workspace administration console is good example of UI in many ways less capa…

I hate the way GUI apps are devolving back to nineties. Resizable windows, clipboard, theming, menus, keyboard shortcuts… stuff that made computers easier to use is disappearing. A…

That was fun. But I miss some. 105102414410138859640127147104

Once upon a time, I was tasked to rewrite build scripts for windows based team from .bat files to bash scripts (via a git-bash). People on that team were not exactly unix fans, in …

I, for one, see this as improvement, affixed cap is convenient most of the time. If it's not, its easy to tear it away. IMO real problem with caps is that this was not invented by …

to quote about distro packages: "To be blunt, this dependency management system never should have been allowed. It caused no end of confusion for everyone…" Yeah, package managemen…

Learning C. Never written any serious code in it, but still among most usefull skills to have.

I have recently had unfortunate experience of being tasked to dockerize python project depending on ML "library" (namely, rembg). I hope to never, ever touch ML crowd crap again.

To trigger a rebuild, you first need to know relevant upstream updates. To recognize them, you need to know your dependencies. Docker provides no means to track dependencies. In fa…

Just out of curiousity – what other languages do you know and use?

Rust language has pros and cons, like everything. Rust community sometimes exhibits this "everything needs to be rewritten in our favorite toy language, NOW" attitude that reminds …

Opera browser had this feature since dawn of time and some others copied it.

I'm not sure I understand this. Do you mean having an app instance using library code from local git instead of pip package? I do that all the time with a Makefile and some symlink…

What a great article. We start with learning that we absolutely need this Poetry thing because… it's what everyone else uses. It's refreshing to see author who can skip usual badly…

You are going from one extreme to other and in my experience this will end up messy, unless interface in question really allows for all possible parameter combos. I'd rather ask wh…
