Shit, the NixOS is amazing but some problems are so non-trivial. Like currently I'm trying to build one repo from github by calling make. The cp fails as it can not replace file which was previously create by the make itself as it miss write permissions. I don't know why they are missing but it's probably something to do with libtoolize. Ah we need to start replacing those old build scripts with something more modern (meeeeeson).
well, well, well
I not against recommendation system, but at least make it work
Recently was working on modification of some C algorithm and It feels so difficult 🤡 Most of my development I don't code at all, I modify configs, install packages, recompile linux utilities, looking for a right version of C++ library etc. The coding skill is struggling so much, maybe I need to start doing LeetCode in Rust? Or maybe it was just a bad code hehe
Hah what a non trivial task, at least I can not come up with elegant solution - How to generate file filled with specific byte in bash? I always do dd with /dev/random but this create files with zero bytes, which is undesired in my case. Maybe yes together with dd could generate it somehow. That's so simple but I have no ideas...
Well, I can also tr zeros with something else
Funnily the most "advanced" car manufacturer is actually spending tiniest percent of it's revenue on R&D. Constantly trying to change my thinking that even innovative companies are companies not research centers. Imagine they somehow could get a tax relief from the government by investing more into research. On the other hand that could be shitty research misleading others.
Wow almost quarter of the Linux gaming is on steam deck. Damn that's good. I hope Valve will continue its trend to care about users. The Steam Deck and Proton really feels like good products.
Love to find such comments in the Kernel
WQ_MAX_ACTIVE = 512, /* I like 512, better ideas? */
😁lol just look into raw stack, aren't you linux developer?
Google released its technical writing course. Already reading. Some topics are too basic, like grammar and words, but I think the course has a lot of value in it. The articles list things which writer should avoid and provides guidelines on best practices. Hope I will be able to apply it. https://developers.google.com/tech-writing/overview
For a few months, I'm thinking about buying a mechanical keyboard. So far, I haven't even started. The offer is so huge, there are many color variations, materials, sizes, switches... Can not decide where to start. That definitely will take weeks of my time to pick a right one.

I have a few criterions such as it should be split one and with no to low noise switches which dramatically narrows my options but still.

Also, prices are daaaamn high sometimes, when I see keyboards for $300 I'm thinking that I would probably build it myself for such a price.
Yeah, wow, who thought...
James Webb Telescope just droped new photos of Pandora Cluster. Space is still amazes me. How many starts are in this picture, how many planets. Wow. Always make me think about how humanity got to such a knowledge just sitting on a rock in space.

Didn't notice that Americans have unique smile. I always thought that they just smile. What an interesting way to find out about it. This is probably only article I read recently on AI. Every one is going so crazy about ChatGPT, but I don't know it nice and handy but have you seen distributed systems? https://medium.com/@socialcreature/ai-and-the-american-smile-76d23a0fbfaf
Apple showed their new Apple Vision Pro AR glasses, damn this is looking great. Really wanna try it. That sad that this technology could be made only by big corporation like Apple or Meta. I would love to make something like that DIY.
