I had to talk my mom down from a panic recently because when she googled her vitamin supplement, the summary borgled up made up instructions for how to take it.

Her doctor's prescription was nearby, thankfully, so it was easy to convince her.

Logging related bottlenecks are fascinating to me. I feel like our industry should have better UX around logging and tracing.

This is a really good read.

I'm bookmarking this, it's good, and I think I'll come back to this later frequently.

Very smooth experience.

They should be fine, but you can physically disconnect the other drives if you're worried. You can just connect them after installation, they will work fine.

If it's working, most of the time it's drivers or the card needs to be reseated.

You can rule out the driver issue by installing Fedora or Ubuntu.

Forgive me for butting in, but have you considered trying out CSP in a Win11 VM?

You could try that out in VirtualBox on Windows, and then if it works out, use the VM in a Linux installation.

You gotta listen to every song thrice at least, I feel. To really get it.

It let's me step through time, to see something I wouldn't see otherwise.

As long as it's written by human hands, I feel it's almost always worth reading. I've rarely regretted it.

Yeah! I really do stand by point 4.

This one justine.lol/mutex/ or neilmadden.blog/2021/04/08/f... or lexi-lambda.github.io/blog/2019/11...

All of them entirely changed my worldview.

But! The average blog being just aweb log is really great because it's *practical experience*.

Kotlin Discussions Kotlin is a concise multiplatform language developed by JetBrains.

Finally, the social web like discussion and comment features implementations right inside the documentation pages of every software technology. discuss.kotlinlang.org is a great example

Blogs, especially those part of the indie web, are crazy good now too. I've read some great blogs in 2025.

Documentation itself has become crazy good too, especially linux man pages and official documentation of programming languages.

StackOverflow itself has also IMO reached a plateau of maturity—most questions that could be asked on current technology have been asked. I think the next phase should be updating those answers, perhaps with a feature that surfaces questions that haven't seen an updated answer in a while.

GitHub issues, IMO, are the largest factor. They're generally recent, have great answers from genuine experts, and are fairly openly searchable.

- Stack Exchange Data Explorer Q&A for professional and enthusiast programmers

I think the actual reasons for decline in SO questions, in order of impact, is:
1. GitHub issues
2. SO's maturity
3. Documentation becoming good
4. Blogging becoming really really good
5. Social web

I think it's nice how we humans take care of animals around us, who we've never met before. Makes me feel good about humanity.

I've noticed that every year, around this time, DevOps and Ops tools begin trending on GitHub and there are a lot of posts about them on my timeline. It's just a general observation, but I wonder if there is an index that tracks this, and if there might be historical data I could access.

I wish we could go a step further, and be able to set our own traits. I would love to be able to set "loves to buy cheap hardware" as a trait.

I read through the report the article is referencing, I was curious to see if there was an actual definition.

But it seems they didn't define agents, and are relying on self-reporting by survey respondents and assume everyone is using the same idea
