Thank you for that, it’s encouraging to hear others can get statically-typed-like quality of life following sound practices

Currently working on a 7-8yr old Python monolith with 500k LOC and overall it’s been far less painful than it would be if it hadn’t been for the gradual adoption of typing and strict mypy configuration. The introduction of types has superc

Personally I’ve been using a similar approach for over a decade where I have 9 desktops on my Mac most of which have fixed windows on them eg 1 for a file explorer, 2 for mail, 3 for browser, 4 and 5 for IDEs, 6 for related tooling, 7 for n

Thanks for the reply! I think any canonical export format would be valuable and would give users some peace of mind :)

Really like it and kudos on launching. Copying GH permalinks to sections of code is something I do about 30 times a day to augment my Slack posts, GH issues, personal notes, Confluence documentation, etc. I gotta say though, I don't kn

Admittedly poor performance has been my primary gripe in the 7mos I’ve been using LogSeq on a near-daily basis. I dunno whether the issue stems from the usage of Electron or if text-graphs are really so heavy even an M1 can’t cope but perso

I suppose if you never revisit your own notes then yes, there’s no value in these systems. Personally I find myself revisiting old notes rather often for a variety of reasons: - writing annual feedback reports on my peers: by taking brief n

I used Alfred for years and never thought I’d find a viable replacement for it but Raycast has completely replaced it for me in the past year. The ‘Schedule’ integration with the single-key to launch the video conference functionality is to

I had this idea a couple years back for an app that allows eg a parent to write a short story and have some sort of GAN generate the illustrations for it (hopefully with the ability to include images of a child that would be used to include

I’ve been evaluating the Warp terminal emulator as an alternative to iTerm on macOS for a couple months now and they have included a very similar feature to turn an NLP input to a shell command [0]. While for most of my work I’ll shamelessl

I honestly feel that whoever complains about MyGov never had to perform these bureaucratic operations in a country like Greece. The fact that one can interact with some of the biggest and slowest-moving agencies in the Australian government

Excellent writeup indeed. At work we’ve heavily invested in the circuit-breaker pattern [0] following a cascading failure from last year and since then we’ve managed to avoid many large-scale outages. Very interesting to see other solutions

One more reason to use this is to use your screen or TV (via Chromecasting or Airplay) as a green screen. I've used this trick a couple times when I wanted to photograph an item or person and remove the background without having to inv

As others have mentioned the bottleneck is typically getting a good mobile plan especially if you intend to move around a larger region across borders. The EU has sort of gotten to a point where roaming costs are no more (with the right pla

I still think it’s rather interesting as an approach. In fact with that, the potential of creating a DIY ND filter out of welding-glass [1, 2] becomes a little more unnecessarily involved :D. [1] https://petapixel.com/2016&#

I’m a big fan of the JetBrains ecosystem which I think has won the IDE wars (given its ubiquity). Once you get comfortable working in one of their tools and configure it to your needs it’s easy to carry that over to the next tool. What I wa

> The Conda package system packages both Python packages and C shared libraries and the Python interpreter into Conda packages. This doesn't sound correct. Conda packages don't actually include the entire Python interpreter in

I’m ashamed to say that I’ve tried every diet under the sun, including the 16-8 IF and I was failing miserably at it. It’s by no means healthy but turns out I’ve always been an all-or-nothing type (complete lack of discipline) so I’ve been

Another tidbit that may be interesting to those that suffer from motion-sickness, especially on boats, that I was taught by sailors in northern norway (was stranded there during the pandemic) is that a lot of them are more affected by the r

Huh haven’t jailbroken my iPhones since my iPhone 5 back in 2014. Back then I feel that iOS was severely limited in functionality and jailbreaking allowed for custom solutions to problems Apple wasn’t addressing. Since then iOS has seen a p
