What's funny: the whole article reminds me something Emacs-ish in spirit.

Fascination in combination of interesting tools with very interesting tools in a very very unconventional workflow.

I like it.

I'm certain that I will not use the same workflow but it gave me ideas for my own.

Discussion about differences SQL-89 vs SQL-91?

In 2024.

Really?

I would say even more:

- the main reason to use django today is the admin UI

- and the only reason to use django ORM is the admin UI

Platonov is "must read" if you interested in Russian literature but he's not that great.

Vladimir Sorokin wrote that he was fascinated by Platonov but soon discovered that it's too easy to imitate Platonov style.

Platonov chapter in "Blue Lard" is even more Platonov than Platonov himself.

Disregard what I said I encourage to read "Chevengur" - it's super.

"Exceptions should be used exceptionally" - I think golang `panic-recover` does exactly this.

They made using `panic` intentionally hard.

Motto: "Don't panic in your code"

Funny thing is that Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Litva) are banned too.

What are you doing Sony?

Ithink it's a good thing that this problem is unsolvable.

Otherwise: we(humans)'ll just become automotons without any meaning to live

Iran and North Korea don't need open source missiles.

Maybe it's European countries need such projects to be on par with them

Pandas is a great library but I was not able to make myself love its data query API.

I discovered that duckdb can make queries to pandas dataframes in SQL (postgresql parser) and do it faster than pandas itself.

Now I have zero motivation pandas queries.

Maybe for coloring or smth like that

You're correct: omz adds not a lot to vanilla zsh.

It consists of: - collection of plugins/themes - auto update - way to customize them

Everything could be done directly in .zshrc, it's just a bit more convinient

I used zsh for a few years before oh-my-zsh became a thing.

I have to admit that I don't find it more convenient.

It takes an ecosystem where things have a way of working, and establishes new conventions on top of those using a new set of environment variables. So if you know zsh, you don't know oh-my-zsh.

A vanilla zsh will feel very bare.

A vanilla oh-my-zsh will feel very feature rich.

If you end up configuring zsh anyways, I don't see the point at all.
