I feel Your pain. And I have a advice: take a deep breath and leave. Because burn-out is real, because there is nothing that can compensate damages of Your mental health. You are still a human. You are intelligent. Yes - you are, this is de

Blind spot that comes from incompetence and arrogance. See https://lwn.net/Articles/553415/ for example and remember famous words of Daniel Stone that brought the need for remote work to - merely - launch xeyes. T

I come to Python around version 1.5, painfully tired by debugging CGI scripts, created by wannabe perl-golfers. Unfortunately, I feel like Python is losing more and more of the zen that once tempted me... Lazy loading looks like a last nail

Zig strives to avoid numerous pitfalls, and I admire that. Let's take a look at some of them: 1. Project control – if a LARGE company implements thousands of lines created by LLMs day after day – who is ultimately responsible for the p

So - in that way - LLM will be Your mentor, it will shape Your way of thinking according to algorithms and datasets stuffed into by corporate creators. Do You really want it? There is also a second face of that: people are lazy. They wouldn

Looks like a LLM hallucination - there is no thing like "RHEL 14.3", although referenced kernel signature (6.12.0-124.45.1.el10_1) contains reference to real RHEL release, i.e. 10.1.

I prefer ~/bin/ for my scripts, links to specific commands, etc. ~/.local/bin is tedious to write, when I want to see directory content and - most important - I treat whole ~/.local/ as managed automatically by

First, we've fallen into a nomenclature trap, as so-called "AI" has nothing to do with "intelligence." Even its creators admit this, hence the name "AGI," since the appropriate acronym has already been use

But they were in different domains. Here, we have a strong clash because Rust is positioning itself as secure system and internet language and computer and internet standard are already defined by RFC-s. So, it may be not uncommon, when som

As side note. Maybe someone knows, why rust devs chose an already used name for language changes proposal? "RFC" was already taken and well-established and I simply refuse to accept that someone wasn't aware about Request For

A note from someone who specializes in long-term system maintenance: There is also one, very important aspect, that is - (un)suprisingly - rarely mentioned in comments: a lack of dependence between sloppy work and personal comfort of partic

Nowadays NetBSD offers something similar to "context depended filesystem", i.e. a special form of symbolic links that can points to different locations, according to wide range set of attributes: from domainname via machine_arc

It won because it was in place (Outlook) and almost nobody cares. Official version is: "because there is a whole history of correspondence and it is convenient to forward it to new participants". In reality? It doesn't matter

Yes-and-no, I think. Limited usability of assembly language comes from limited resources (registers, operations) available to programmer, that leads to (so) many simple steps for more complicated tasks. But, high-level language can offer a

I'm sorry to say that but this article is not entirely true - an illustration "how does traditional raid 4/5/6 do it?" shows ONLY RAID 4. There is a big difference between RAID 4 and RAID 5/6 and former was aba

Not at all. Things like CFEengine (1993) and even Puppet predates a spread of "devops" term. Not mentioning tools for automated system installations, embedded in distributions like RedHat or Debian. Creating a tools, that allows u

Too often "DevOps" emerged as a way to walk around system administrators and their "blabling" about security, resource management, upgrades and long-term maintainability. I'm always upset when I see a installations

BTW: there is another obstacle aside from typing issues: readability problems and similarities between operators and ordinary characters with computer fonts. In case of manually written math equations (or LaTeX-ones) operators are easy dist

Re: availability - a victim of own success. ;) And chip shortage too, unfortunately. Re: affordable: I come rather from 8-bit Atari and - in my opinion - it is not a cheap hobby. Modern extensions like Sophia2 or VBXL aren't cheap, mem

Speaking of "modern retro computing" there is already a player in the town: C256 Foenix [1]. Based on 65c816, affordable, powerful and - most important - already available and well tested. It definitively deserve for user interest

Nice idea that corresponds with my idée fixe - a sane, usable output format for Unix utilities. There are differences, of course - I prefer a text-table format as universal panacea, but I'm glad that more and more people notice a mess
