I'm talking about quantum. I switched to Firefox since quantum came out.

I'm curious: can we match the level of Waterfox with Firefox's add-ons: uBlock, privacy badger, etc.

I just don't want to support the monopoly.

Also Firefox has been so tempting since the new engine written in Rust came out. It has a wide range of supporting add-ons.

Nowaday I have ChatGPT spew me command. I usually do a quick validation before running. Nevertheless, most of simple operations are correct so I don't need to.

I then note the command to my persional gist cheatsheet. Next time, since the command is "cached", I'll be able to be productive quicker.

So much better than googling.

Looking at your picture makes my neck hurt.

My boss allows people to WFH officially, but also establishes several small office spaces so people can come to hang out if they feel lonely, or want to get to know their colleagues more. I think this is the best of both world.

This. I'm tired of all short responses that don't want to discuss the problem or steer the topics to a direction.

Let's be honest, even if you finish that 600-page book, you might not "crack" the algorithm interview. The inteview requires you to grind the question, or simply a lot of practices.

From my personal experience, AWS is extremely powerful (especially on security and networking). If you cross the learning curve, and know automation or Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform) then it's fast and easy to build almost any architecture.

But yes, it's overkill for a simple website or a simple setup (if one is not familiar with AWS).

Markdown is good. I use it when working in the company since the format is ubiquitous. I do writing my blog posts with Markdown (Hugo for the curious).

But personally, or working with a bit more niche team, for writing personal documentation I prefer Asciidoc [0]. It has better syntax and have some nice functionalities like Table of Contents.

For personal notes, nothing can surpass Org Mode [1].

My goto is:

    
convert -resize 50% in.png out.png

  

It reduces half the width and height, so usually ~4x in size.

I usually check in with myself:

• Am I growing in my career?
• Am I happy with my current workplace: people, culture, flexibility?
• Am I valued to the company, i.e. my opinions are considered and regarded to some certain?

If one or two of these conditions failed, I would consider moving. After all, if I went to a workplace and I didn't find any joy or recognition, the paycheck wouldn't make me stay.

Well, people tend to pick the easiest way to achieve an objective, even though the solution is not simple nor optimised.

And when it starts raining outside when you prepare to go to bed. Pure bliss :)

There's something so therapeutic in the nature sound.

True, on my feed there are too much posts from "Meme" even that I don't interact with it often. So I unsubscribed the community. Maybe I would consider subscribing it back when the recommendation system is a bit better.

Also recommend. Some audio lessons are interesting.

The ability to rollback is indeed awesome. And it's built-in. I think you can do it in Arch-based distros but requires additional config.

Wait until you meet "Platform Engineering"/DevOps. The sheer amount of CNCF projects and new tools out on a daily basis are on par with the JavaScript world.

AWS (Route53 specifically). Not common but my personal lab runs on AWS so it's nice to have a place for everything.
