Gather requirements -> Small focused spec -> code -> Validate -> Fix/Adjust -> Remove spec once it is captured in code and tests. Agile is stronger than ever, spending time on ever…

Almost nobody works on medical devices... And some of you lucky folks might be working with mega minds everyday, but the rest of us are but shadows and dust. I trust 5.4 or 4.6 mor…

https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/multiseat/ I did not follow a specific guide but the setup is relatively simple. The commands I list below is all you need to set …

I bought a modest gaming rig in 2016 and used systemd/loginctl to convert it into a multiseat setup. One seat for myself and one for the rest of the family. The amount of value I g…

I would have used it in its current state, even if it was worse if they did not resort to shitty business decisions. They directly stole titles away from me that I was playing on l…

I used to play Rocket League on linux through steam. Epic killed that. They are very bad for linux gaming and I avoid anything Epic like the plague.

This made me think of Handmaid's Tale. Scary to know how easily we will trade away liberty to an illusion of safety for the sake of the children.

How do you decide on whats next? Is this a cost of delay calculation?

Perhaps, but learners that are good in the current system will do well regardless imo. They are good at self directed, isolated learning which I think is the minority.

And why are they not doing the exercises? Are they lazy? The moment a significant percentage of learners are alienated by the system then there is something wrong with the system. …

I hope it will force the current system which favours a specific subset of learners to change. I hope it will evolve towards a collaborative system where learners are not tested as…

This is the diffuse part of learning and I thought it was general knowledge by now? https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn

I have been using https://www.yworks.com/products/yed for years. You can import a c4 palette probably. I do not really stick to specific shapes but use what makes sense for the con…

I picked up some SQL knowledge through osmosis by using ActiveRecord and I do wish there was a better connect between what the ORM did and the end result. There were some tools to …

Simple made easy is the most impactful talk I have watched. Made a very big impact and I still think of it frequently. I never got into clojure but I am so glad it is around.

I only use a kneeling chair. Also daily short 15-20min HIIT with pull ups have resolved all my back problems. I highly recommend the simple and sinister daily energizer approach. A…

Don't breathe the air, said the fish to the bird.

I did a stint of Elm and it taught me a lot. But I found I prefer dirtier languages like elixir and typescript. I would not recommend the pure languages for anything other than lea…

Leangains is a great resource. Do not let the tone distract from the content. The content there went mainstream much later(IF) especially so he was ahead of the curve. An IF protoc…

You are not professional if you are not aligning with the values that are being optimized for the context. There should be an explicit decision tree setup for your work context tha…

That takes me back! I completely forgot about stumbleupon and will check out cloudhiker, thanks!

This one misses Discord? Elixir drives a lot of the backend as well?

We are not GI, and GI is too wasteful to be useful in a scarce environment.

You are just getting old. Nothing much has changed only your perception of things.

Software development has never been about building correct systems that you see so many here care about. There might be a few contexts where that is the main value being optimized …
