Ugh, my feed in Lemmy is full of this now. Is it feasible to "lower" the visibility of a keyword like "Musk" or "X"?

A bit techy: Programmers are also human. The guy is a gem. I laughed so hard, God knows how many time.

That's why I like it. No BS, no ads, no commercials, no show-offs, etc. Just some people with a bit of free time share their knowledge and stories.

I do wish we have more vibrant non-tech communities, though.

Not fully trust, but I trust it more than some listicles and low-quality SEO-boost sites.

When I want to learn something new, I often come to Wikipedia, or Britannica, or YouTube to get to know the subject. And generally, they will recommend me with some valuable reference to dig deeper.

Wikipedia is like our dear friend. It gives us general information, good advice, and direction in life, but never gets too deeply in it. The choice is ours to make.

Then you have Clojure - a machine gun that shoots shivs.

• Sticky Notes: The Classical Music Podcast
• The psychology of your 20s.
• Talks at Google
• What should I read next?
• Lex Fridman

A bit more teckie:

• REWORK
• The Changelog
• Go Time
• Screaming in the cloud
• The New Stack podcast
• Ship it!

Languages learning:

• Tanaka radio (Japanese)
• The Miku real Japanese
• The real Japanese podcast
• The procrastination podcast (English)

So Reddit would go from a social open hub, the "front page of the Internet", to a walled garden? Ridiculous.

This :) I made a question post and I've had only my one upvote for 2 days.

Emacs will be there for you, once vscode Windows gets abandoned.

FTFY.

Just the matter of taste. For some users who want to get to code quickly, they use VSCode without the hassle. For some power users who want to have extreme extensibility, they use Emacs/Vim.

I hate Google but they gave us Go, Kubernetes. I hate Amazon but they gave us AWS. I plainly hate those companies, but adore the brilliant engineers that work there.

Clojure. It's just fun to write.

Firstly, it's functional and "Lispy". My code is super expressive. Writing code is like writing prose where I can choose a word (function) from a large vocabulary [1]. I can focus on high-level concepts and modifying states instead of fighting with low-level logic.

Secondly, it runs on JVM - an already robust and performant platform.

And there are so many good things that I cannot simply write in some words. The father of Clojure, Rich Hickey, is a genius in expressing Clojure's design. You should check out some of his talks [2].

Too bad that Clojure is too "niche" that I haven't got a chance to make a living by writing Clojure, yet. But learning it is one of the best decisions I've ever made in my career. Yes, it's that good.

And most importantly, SMS is not secure [1].

Good advice only for tech-savvy and people who are interested in self-hosting. There's so many things that can go wrong like improper backups and accidental networking problems.

Why is Google trying to follow the model of Spotify even though the model is not really successful? I hate when browsing my music in Spotify some podcast pops up. I just want to listen to my music, dammit!

May I ask why?

Personally, I find its UI/UX is annoying. The quality of the sound is awesome, though.

+1 for Proton Mail. The other day I have switched to Proton (from another mail provider in Germany) and love it so far. I can even use a language to customise my filter [1], how cool that is!

Not in a million year that I will come back to Gmail.

Code aesthetic: If your code looks like a triangle, you're seriously doing something wrong.
