Made the switch about 6 years ago to Fedora, never looked back. Upgrades just work.

Is there a similar software for linux?

I crave for social media clients that allow users to customize their ranking algorithms for their feed.

Used GnuCash for a while, but manual data entry was exhausting
There is also SigNoz [0] solving the same problem with a similar stack (OpenTelemetry and Clickhouse)

Law of Leaky Abstractions states: All non-trivial abstractions, to some degree, are leaky.

I found the example in the post weird too, I thought it would be for auto complete, when you enter sta -> start

I often think that I would be a best practice for slack/discord to auto delete messages after 2 weeks, that would enforce the idea that they are really ephemeral
Re:ARM64 Linux Workstation on Saturday March 04, 2023 @08:25AM (#35020605)
We need more devs to use linux. It is a better experience IMHO. I've been donating to the asahi project every month hoping apple hardware gets finally liberated.
Re:I am a quite good bad programmer on Thursday November 03, 2022 @09:17AM (#33450483)
Job interviews have a very questionable form of gatekeeping. But it is a very well documented form of gatekeeping. If you want to get good grades at job inteviews, you can practice how to pass that test... I do agree it doesn't reflect the quality of developer you are, but it is what it is...
Very nice, whats planned next?
Re:DRY is an over-rated programming principle? on Thursday July 07, 2022 @09:04AM (#32013567)
DRY often leads to too much abstraction that while correct from the theory of software engineering, it increases complexity and maintainability costs.

That being said, I always allow myself to repeat code until a good enough patter emerges from that repetition, and then I refactor. Having the same code twice is not always sufficient to reveal what is the right refactor to do, if any.

Re:Why video calls are bad for brainstorming on Tuesday May 03, 2022 @04:23PM (#31253103)
I have the idea that brainstorming on a meeting is a waste of time. It is better to do it async. On a shared doc where people can comment and improve over a short period of time (like a week or so). Then, and only then, you can have a round of presentations or debates.

And worker cooperatives are totally compatible with a capitalist society, only they shall compete with traditional companies
Re:The Trouble with Capitalism on Sunday May 23, 2021 @12:19AM (#27252425)
There are many types of socialism, but probably the most important aspect would be the central planning of the economy by bureaucrats or the state apparatus, and consequently the use of coercive force to make it happen. The economy is also vague, you can take utter control of it, or heavily regulate it, or just some sectors of the economy, and so on. If by democratic worker ownership of means of production you mean that workers can collectively own a company, that is totally possible in any capitalist society, so it is vague to define socialism.

You would be suprised to find out that mongodb is still popular for the wrong reasons
