BTW, calling that an epic novel is a stretch. Actually great Russian writers like Gogol (surprisingly, Dead Souls is a poem, in prose) and Pushkin (Captain's Daughter is neither no…

Yeah, Dick for Richard is my favorite!

A good read on the subject https://jyn.dev/the-terminal-of-the-future

There's still no such standard. You either provide a terminal API or build a custom client-server app (GUI + backend). The later means there's no place in your setup for terminal a…

Surgery is when you're making a change live on a running system. Before that the source is more like a blueprint.

While reading the Fundamentals of Data-Engineering I noticed that one of the most practically interesting parts, data extraction/acquisition, is essentially skipped. The author jus…

It's the Westphalian system which includes not only (protestant) capitalism, but also scientific positivism, liberal humanism and everything else. Which we now call (post-/meta-)mo…

Lawrence J. Dickson anticipated this almost 2 decades ago in a research he did for DARPA in 2007[1]. Just look at the software development viscosity graph. [1] http://pros.to/wide.…

Looks like a last-ditch effort to salvage its crumbling technological sovereignty amid the EU's systemic crisis. Even if they invent something, production will happen in China or t…

Well, it's the WSJ. In fact, we do not yet have the final official conclusion of the commission with the participation of Russia and Azerbaijan, which is working on this case. Let'…

"The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat"

You say beginner friendly. How does rwf look like compared to Pavex[1] in this regard? [1] https://github.com/LukeMathWalker/pavex

I think JetBrains is a virus. My folks can't do anything w/o it. They tend to just use what works out of the box and don't want to learn standard open source tools. No wonder after…

It's called United Nations Organization. Although it hasn't been fully implemented. It was planned to have nuclear weapon monopoly and strong joint military forces to stop any aggr…

Hm, I wonder if a ultrasonic nebulizer can be used for that.

Somehow we got to the point when we need something like FreeBSD key signing parties but we surely can't have these for everything actually.

Dude has to wake up. Europe is done, it's a museum. He's thinking about tech but the real problem is lacking economical basis in Europe. Germany introduced spot natural gas prices …

A economic decline has been happening in the US since fall 2021 and there's no good way out of it. Reducing the key rate would worsen the inflation that is already high. Increasing…
