Re:Bunkers in Albania on Monday January 20, 2025 @01:19AM (#42765528)
My wife is Albanian, I lived there in 2021/2022.

I found that many people think positively of the regime and its dictator. The population was ill-equipped to deal with a market economy when the regime fell, and many Albanians believe the country has gone down a very chaotic path. They thought the dictatorship provided more structure. My grandmother-in-law (in her 60s), whose family suffered greatly when Hoxha took over, is one such Albanian who thinks positively of him, despite how the regime treated them. This feels a bit like Stockholm syndrome.

Re:Icecream: Never use print() to debug again in Python on Tuesday March 30, 2021 @03:24AM (#26632000)
You're just being difficult. It's easy, you just setup these 10 Node.js micro services in docker, setup your database, the cache. Then my friend, you can really debug with beautiful print messages.

Wait until someone creates a $10/user SaaS service out of it.

Re:Yapet: Yet Another Password Encryption Tool on Sunday January 24, 2021 @12:00PM (#25893543)
Shameless plug, I did one too... with GPG, however, instead of directly using AES:

I think I'll look into integrating that into my browser at some point, or maybe the OS, I think the whole copy paste part is clumsy.

They should totally invent a new port. USB-C is just too standard.

Re:Rollerball Pens of 2021 on Saturday January 23, 2021 @11:46AM (#25883715)
I write cursive, and I felt the same way. I had to slow down and force myself to write the way I was taught in school. You don't need to caricature the characters (charicature?!) but get back to very plain, school-style letters for a few weeks, and it seems to have reset my handwriting.
Re:St. Benedict’s Rule for Monasteries (516) on Sunday January 10, 2021 @08:06PM (#25722793)
I spent 2 weeks in a benedictine monastery in Italy, about 2 months ago. I think these were some of the most influential weeks of my life. I really hope I can write something useful for others, but the more I digest the experience, the more I think people need to do that themselves and come to their own conclusions.
We all know that, but we both know most Git repositories out there are probably on Github.

I remember having to compile drivers to get a /dev/mga device file that would be used to play videos with mplayer smoothly, which had a dedicated output option for mga at that time.
I love his comment "These can get you stuck for days". I wonder how long he had to play.

Re:Why we’re switching to calendar versioning on Sunday April 14, 2019 @09:50AM (#19659394)
These decisions are often driven by marketing or product folks and rarely engineers.

The marketing team would probably even push further toward 1, 2, 3, or anything that could make a big splash once or twice a year. The product team would probably prefer dates because it makes their planning easier.
