MacBook Air with M5 5 months ago

m1 has perfect performance. Screen is the issue. Having all modern devices with 90-120Hz and good brightness, Im feeling headache switching on air on regular basis.

SQL Studio 7 months ago

I've known and used SQL for 25 years; over the last year I haven’t written a single query by hand - AI is very good at it. I use SQL editors only to quickly see what I have there and to check the AI-generated query.

Eels are fish 11 months ago

GPT-5 says that now its not. So while lampreys are technically fish under traditional definitions, modern evolutionary science places them as one of the most primitive branches of vertebrates—not part of the “true” jawed fish group.

While reading an article, I went to check how an eel differs from a lamprey - and I found out that a lamprey isn’t actually a fish

Performance is huuuge issue with RLS, as it works like an optimization barrier. Because of security RLS rules are applied initially and then all/most indexes you have just not working at all. ITs not like single WHERE clause with injected RLS checks

"None" state store definitely would be good for one of our case - automatic preview deploys for pull requests. Statefull approach works good 99.9% of time but rare errors like inability to destroy resource because of cloud provider issues cause that you need manual interventions - i.e. resource cant be created as not managed by state etc. Even rare errors are not rare when you have 20+ devs :-)

That needs some manual fixes i.e import state, killing resources etc but not all devs has access rights or knowledge to do this.

As webdeveloper I have a strong feeling that we are writing web for google bot and not for people. For any website I created I have a list from SEO what to add. Like 200 links at each page bottom, different titles, headers, metas, human readable urls without query params, all that canonical urls, nofollow rules etc. Most of this things invisible to users and created only for googlebot.

Changed a little bit since that time. Mostly in cities, now we are smiling when meet with people we know well. This allows me to trick the system sometimes, every time I need something from government structure Im smiling there like an idiot, that cause unknown people to think that they know me and then help.

Google can use Russian Constitution:

31. Citizens of the Russian Federation shall have the right to assemble peacefully, without weapons, hold rallies, meetings and demonstrations, marches and pickets.

Article 29

1. Everyone shall be guaranteed the freedom of ideas and speech.

2. The propaganda or agitation instigating social, racial, national or religious hatred and strife shall not be allowed. The propaganda of social, racial, national, religious or linguistic supremacy shall be banned.

3. No one may be forced to express his views and convictions or to reject them.

4. Everyone shall have the right to freely look for, receive, transmit, produce and distribute information by any legal way. The list of data comprising state secrets shall be determined by a federal law.

5. The freedom of mass communication shall be guaranteed. Censorship shall be banned.

PS. Im Russian and live here.

I left IT 10 years ago, because of health problems and I was really tired of programming. After 3 years of working as non IT specialist (negotiator in investment company) I helped our analysts to develop a small script to parse some data, then again and again, and I got that I still love to develop. So now I'm in IT world again ;-)

BTW that non IT years were one of the best in my life as life is not a job.

I've moved from angular to react and i'm happy. Simple, really simple!!! interface. All you need is to remember just few methods of one (ONE!!!) class. It's fast enough to create interfaces with a lot of objects.

With react and react-native i start publish my projects on github, because they has a simple structure and can be easily supported.

I almost forget jQuery, it's really rare situation when i need to access real DOM.

Big amount of flux frameworks (i love [flummox](https://github.com/acdlite/flummox) , [redux](https://github.com/gaearon/redux)).

I read discussions (in twitter, in github issues, in slack http://www.reactiflux.com/) of this guys @sebmarkbage, @Vjeux, @dan_abramov, @acdlite and many others as like "THE BEST PROGRAMMING BOOK I'VE EVER READ"

My [app](https://github.com/istarkov/google-map-react) hit the top trending github apps, thanks to react community. (it's not easy for developer to show his work to the world)

React is GREAT!!!
