_Useless complexity_ (aka everything must be a service@scale even if it's not necessary at all) keeps cyber security companies in business.
A newcomer with a Vertx backpack (vertx.com) ;)
If I need to make some research for a project, I keep my findings on my computer (publicly available knowledge, facts, ..). BUT I keep all my new ideas, thinking, todos, agenda, ... offline (analog) to prevent AI tools…
What about legal media files? In addition to be a software engineer I'm a DJ... I have near 1 TB of LEGAL music (mostly FLAC or high bitrate music files) on my OneDrive (easier because I use Virtual DJ). Yes I know it's…
For MANY things a simple text files (txt, tsv, gnu recutils, ...) is required. Using the filesystem (folder, links, ..) to organize them. I started moving back all my things/KB to simple text files and stop using all…
Nice a password manager taking 1GB of RAM and 20% of CPU.
Because nothing's free.
This is the MOST important reason no one talk about.
What is the environmental cost of such useless technology (production, maintenance, end of life,...)?
By definition, all ads are unsolicited.
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) web console : really slow and take HUGE amount of memory
s/more fragmented IRC networks/more decentralized IRC networks
Why a new browser? Use Firefox
How to write unmaintainable code? Easy : write a project based on the latest "saveur du jour" JS framework.
Because it's simple, straight to the point, doesn't have any distracting images, perfectly aligned, light, ...
My client use paid GitHub services for the new projects they work on. But we (devs) really hate it because it slow us at lot (can't push/pull, Github Actions not working, "crash" our CI/CD server, ...) because of…
Exactly. My own domain is on Fastmail. I have an alias for every sites I have account in (Amazon, eBay, Pocket, ...). If I got spammed using an address I know exactly where it came from, advise the sir and create…
Another great console tool to view/manipulate/process/... tabular data is Visidata (http://visidata.org/).
Text files are king! I store every single byte I can in text files. Examples: - Tabular data : TSV (almost all Un*x/GNU tools handle this out of the box) - Simple "records" : GNU Recutils format…
Why not? Not everything have to be dumb proof/easy. For example, Suckless softwares like DWM (https://dwm.suckless.org/). Extract: "Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's pointless to make…
Tired of all this ads. I understand that some level of Ads is required (nothing's free!). But this becoming ridiculous (and I'm not talking about personal data mining). Instead of just whining about that, I decided to…
Yes, the "CSV road to hell": - comma separated, nothing escaped (crash when 1 column contains a comma) - comma separated, quotes around all elements, quotes not escaped - comma separated, double-quotes around all…
Hint for Dell: just ensure that your hardware works perfectly in Linux (drivers) and please don't add any ^(bloat|crap)ware[s]?$ to it. I have a Dell Precision 7530 laptop with an I5 CPU, 64GB of RAM, AMD GPU, 3 SSD M2…
Thanks for pointing to recfiles. I didn't know about that. It's a pretty simple "DB" format. I like it (and I'll use it).
Rapid data entry and Web app/site/page cannot be put in the same sentence.
