> but as a Muslim, this is the best place to live. Muslims want the Sharia law and all the other Islamic stuffs including hijab, prayers and what not.

Very insightful, surprised to hear people like it there, I'm glad.

I think the problem with Sharia law and such is when people come from say Saudi Arabia or similar middle eastern countries and expect to bring their backwards ass laws with them to EU countries.

I concur. The vast majority of people have the exact opposite problem and sleep too little, therefore the general advice would be to get at least 8h of quality sleep per night.

It threw me off the whole article as well, it's hard to take it seriously when it hits me with "don't sleep too much" in the beginning, especially since I've always been somewhat of an insomniac and I'm intimately familiar with the impact of sleep deprivation across all aspects of one's life.

Are they still mentioning their location based pay scheme or have they swept it under the rug completely?

Since .ru hosts a LOT of malware that's running wild, and I don't particularly care to view anything on .ru, we'll just agree to disagree.

Good arguments btw.

Since it's Russian owned, a lot of malicious actors have found .ru to be a safe heaven, this is more of a security thing than anything.

FFmpeg is one of those tools that we desperately need a new alternative to.

After almost 20 years of Linux I couldn't type a correct FFmpeg command with a gun to my head.

I used to be obsessed with DRY. After having written tens of thousands of terraform lines in the last few years across a multitude of platforms and use cases, I say everything in moderation.

Going DRY is a decision you pay for in complexity, it's the typical programming problem of genericity. Sometimes it absolutely makes sense and you're a mad man if you skip it, but in isolated cases making things DRY just for the sake of it is just as nuts as not doing it when required.

It's a fine line to walk and it requires hands-on experience to know when to employ DRY and when to repeat yourself.

$6? more like $60 coming to a scalper near you.

Avoid a paywall only to be forced to complete a captcha in 4 (FOUR!) tries until successful.

Sigh..I hate the internet these days.

I fail to see the need for a remote-desktop type experience in this day and age. Why not just go zero trust?

For anyone interested in topics like this, I have a couple of books recommendations:

A classic: Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Dimond (1997)

A more modern take: The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow (2021)
