What's funny: the whole article reminds me something Emacs-ish in spirit. Fascination in combination of interesting tools with very interesting tools in a very very unconventional workflow. I like it. I'm certain that I will not u

I would say even more: - the main reason to use django today is the admin UI - and the only reason to use django ORM is the admin UI

Platonov is "must read" if you interested in Russian literature but he's not that great. Vladimir Sorokin wrote that he was fascinated by Platonov but soon discovered that it's too easy to imitate Platonov style. Platono

"Exceptions should be used exceptionally" - I think golang `panic-recover` does exactly this. They made using `panic` intentionally hard. Motto: "Don't panic in your code"

Funny thing is that Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Litva) are banned too. What are you doing Sony?

Ithink it's a good thing that this problem is unsolvable. Otherwise: we(humans)'ll just become automotons without any meaning to live

Iran and North Korea don't need open source missiles. Maybe it's European countries need such projects to be on par with them

Pandas is a great library but I was not able to make myself love its data query API. I discovered that duckdb can make queries to pandas dataframes in SQL (postgresql parser) and do it faster than pandas itself. Now I have zero motivation p

You're correct: omz adds not a lot to vanilla zsh. It consists of: - collection of plugins/themes - auto update - way to customize them Everything could be done directly in .zshrc, it's just a bit more convinient

I had exactly same experience: nvm and conda. Both are unrelated to oh-my-zsh completely: they were configured in .zshrc directly

I heard a lot about slowness of oh-my-zsh but never experienced it myself. I had slow starts when I added nvm completion to .zshrc and .. maybe conda environment but that was unrelated to oh-my-zsh

I suspect it was something similar: he had real asthma during childhood but continued taking meds when they were not really needed. After LSD he just "forgot" to take them

I think every natural language is irregular when it comes to numbers. And about Japanese: you forgot about counters for men, animals, flat things and so on. You have ichi-ippiku-ippon-hitory - issai And absolutely fascinating "system&q

My son "forgot" his asthma after one dose of LSD. Literally - 1.5 year and no problems. That was absolutely unexpected effect. I still don't know what to think about it. I'm not a psychodelic enthusiast

The only problem with PowerShell (for me) - it came too late. If it was released with .NET 2.0 or 3.0 - maybe I used it more. When it appeared I already used bash(from git distribution) and python for scripting tasks

The interesting point for me was: > Every failing hard drive requires a stressful operation on the remaining disks (resilvering) that may push the next drive to failure. I saw something similar: RAID array with 5 disks and 3 spare disks.

I once worked with a man of Bashkir-Estonian descent. His name is Aivar which I suspect is bilingual: - it sounds Turkic ("ai" is "moon" iirc) - on the other hand there are mentions of Aivor/Aivar from Scandinavia a

Pure truth. When somebody says that Chinese/Japanese is hard because of kanji - just show them that English is crazy on almost the same level. Kanji has more radicals but some of them only on top, some on bottom, some on left or right
