The first I heard of snaps was while I was upgrading from 18.04 to 20.04 (I only do LTS for work servers). What drove _me_ away personally, was I had no idea what snap is and it was all over the place all of a sudden. After studying up I wa

Very well said! I am afraid there is a prophecy in your description. I have started moving all of our infrastructure away from Ubuntu at work. This sounds horrible. 2020 has been bad enough for one year.

Ubuntu 20.04 forced me to switch to Fedora Server on my home server. Pretty happy so far. I have significantly fresher package versions and most of the software tools I use offer a RPM package. I think I will wait for snap to mature, before

I believe he is using the far more superior metric, called “subjective perception”.

They won’t, at least not for now, I assume. They can put far more intrusive tracking inside an app compared to a web browser. There is also no way to do content blocking or ad blocking inside apps, at least not on iOS. I use Facebook in Saf

I believe Apple users choose the Apple ecosystem specifically because they value the protection the App Store provides. I can't even imagine the nightmare if every app was allowed to redirect me to their website, register there and ent

I might get downvoted on principle, but I genuinely wonder and don't understand: why is it NOT OK for Google and Apple to ask for a cut? They have spent years and millions (if not billions) in developing the infrastructure, public trus

Yes, that is true. But the hypocrisy is how Firefox criticises Google (either directly or indirectly), but is paid by Google to have them as the default search engine. The emphasis is on the word default, not that you can't change it.

All of this is fantastic. I just hope the day comes, when Google is no longer the default search engine in Firefox. Safari is my default browser, but I use Firefox heavily for “social” media accounts. I love the extensions.

Slovakia still doesn’t have Apple Pay, Apple News and no operator supports an eSIM. I honestly don’t understand how this is possible.

Drogon is an application framework. Nginx is a web server. You can’t write a custom application in nginx. You can write almost anything in Drogon. Both handle HTTP requests, but nginx mostly forwards requests to other stacks.

This is the industry standard. I wish I had a choice to either pay with my data ("free" content), or pay with money in a subscription model. Just like Zuckerberg was asked, whether he would consider a subscription model. The formu

Oh the hypocrisy. Reading about how bad ad targeting and tracking is, while being welcomed by a huge, annoying modal, covering up half of the text I’m eager to read, with a large ACCEPT button, or the opt-out button hidden behind a link on

I am a very visual person. The first step before I start writing a workflow in gitlab is, that I draw the whole pipeline on a whiteboard as a tree/graph. We discuss it with the team and only then I start writing the .gitlab-ci.yml file

I knew nothing about Netlify before this post, so this is a purely generic, rational note: yes it will. You lure in customers with an attractive free tier and then change it so you can monetize at least some of them and be profitable. Choos

Agree. I used to work with ROS during a semester of AI. We had to build a robot that drove itself on top of a roomba vacuum cleaner and used a kinect for vision. I was super familiar with Ubuntu/Debian, but ROS was a mess. The material

While the “Accept” button is the only big blue button in the pop-up and the opt-out options are hidden after 2 clicks away on an arbitrary link hidden in the text. Of course, there is no “deselect all” personalized advertising vendors. One

Maybe "idiocy" is unnecessarily strong, but I certainly don't have to praise all emerging experiments just to sound polite, do I? The emerging of all these stacks is because of approachability. Everyone has a browser. Anyone

I honestly do not understand how did a large part of the software engineering community get to this point of idiocy. Is this due to the principle of getting to the market first and quick prototypes? I don’t see a quick way back.

Same here. Used it for free while studying and open source projects. Bought it as soon as I got a paying job, coincidentally coding in sublime. Fantastic tool. Fantastic community.

Magnificent! I am building a very similar HIP (Hypothetical Processor, reduced MIPS, created at my university for educational purposes) processor emulator with similar functionality. Still a long way to go, but I can definitely get inspired
