Install Wallhaven plugin, then you can have two different wallpapers that are changed each ten minutes.

Well, my Raspberry Pi 5 works perfectly.

As for languages that are acceptable for business logic, C++ is lolno, Java is kinda surprisingly okay because so much business logic is already written in it and debugging is trivial, Python is not worse than Java for the same reason when you are using proper linter to catch typos, C# / Go / Ruby are probably the best because they are most modern with the lowest footgun ratio.

JSON-in-a-string is a commonplace method of having a generic or any type when you are too lazy to write a proper structure for it, or want to save an object into a database without creating an additional table. In all fairness it has nothing to do with the language itself, and more with lazy coders. Postgresql even have additional SQL operators to access individual JSON fields inside a record, so yeah, you can dump a whole new unstructured database into a row of your existing database, it’s totally an acceped practice.

I’ve successfully used pyenv in the past, although uv claims that it includes all pyenv functions and more.

It’s Javascript with types. You are still using one hundred NPM packages to do the simplest thing. Any string can be JSON. And Node is single-threaded, so if you plan to create some kind of parallel computation, you’d need to run 16 Docker containers of your Node server, one per CPU core, with NGINX or some other load balancer at the business end, and hope that your database engine won’t reorder transactions. And yeah, Docker is mandatory, because Node version in your latest Ubuntu release is already outdated.

TypeScript and safety-critical paths should not be in one sentence.

Wake me up when they recreate the ultimate power of Regedit.

The G is silent

It’s honestly like that with free mobile apps. You either find a paid version or you install free abandonware riddled with ads.

The entirety of cron documentation is contained in the twenty lines of comments in the new config file created by cron -e

The only thing you need to know is cron -e command. There’s no learning curve, it’s more like - you are a cron expert in five minutes after learning that such a tool exists.

When an API request fails, the seconds clock handle becomes red, and the time health management microservice sends an alert SMS to your phone once per second (scaled with the number of clients)

Letsencrypt certs are the only certs you will ever need, everything else is corporate posturing.

Seconds hand does not show seconds.

Meta-Tab switches between activities on KDE.

Don’t call it Windows key. It’s Meta, even if Micro$oft paid to put an advert on it.

Wasn’t there a Rust-to-C compiler that would circumvent this limitation?

Considering that most techbro startups are going to be dead within a year, I’d say AI wins.
Plus most of the competent programmers already have high resistance for technobabble bullshit, and will simply refuse to work on something like an online contacts app (are you copying a Facebook or what?)

The future is here! And it costs $10-$50 per 1000 HTTP requests.
