History repeats itself; the same thing will happen as with MySQL—when it was acquired by Oracle, it stagnated.

I use obsidian MD editor to save important chats I made on Claude or Gemini.

It's the best markdown editor.

So when I need to check any past reference I just open my folder or files.

Re:Rob Pike's 5 Rules of Programming on Wednesday March 18, 2026 @08:29AM (#47424896)
Rule 4, I have always practiced and demanded of junior programmers, to make algorithms and structures that are simple to understand, for our main user: the one who will modify this code in the future.

I believe that's why Golang is a very simple but powerful language.

Re:The Window Chrome of Our Discontent on Monday March 09, 2026 @10:36AM (#47309698)
Few software companies consider this: users appreciate it when the interface remains constant over time, and especially if we can continue using previous versions without being forced to change, since learning new things again takes time.
Re:Markdown file to Google Drive and viceversa on Thursday March 05, 2026 @09:18AM (#47261775)
When working with CLI agents like Claude Code on writing projects, the most natural generation format is Markdown. But iterating on those docs via Google Docs is painful — uploading a Markdown file to Google Drive with proper formatting requires multiple manual steps.

md2gdoc reduces this to one command. gdoc2md does the reverse.

The ideas behind Airbnb and other innovative companies have reshaped economic structures and provoked widespread social, legal, and governmental debate. At their core, these innovations are about human behavior and the ability to recognize and seize opportunity. In developed countries, such freedom often flourishes, while in others, regulatory control tends to dominate the response.
Re:Is DWPD Still a Useful SSD Spec? on Wednesday November 26, 2025 @08:10AM (#46057033)
The most common catastrophic failure you’ll see in SSDs: the entire drive simply drops off the bus as though it were no longer there.

Happened to me last week.

I just put it in a plastic bag into the freezer during 15 minutes, and works.

I made a copy to my laptop and then install a new server.

But not always works like charms.

Please always have a backup for documents, and a recent snapshot for critical systems.
