I have good luck with Protonmail and it still supports POP3. You also get the benefit of encryption.

I would stay away from Tutamail, I've had bad customer support experience with them and they refused to give me a refund. Also, the UX/UI is rough.


You can’t integrate a third-party mail server unless you pay, right?


Protonmail looks great! Thx


Tuta is dog shit, agree on both accounts.


Shout out to SwiftFiddle: https://swiftfiddle.com

It's another project for writing Swift in the browser.


Yes there are a few but swiftly.sh is the only one that works offline in the browser!


Any recommendations for getting started in Gentoo?

I was taking a look at their documentation and it seems quite comprehensive. Though I was wondering if there are any books or tutorials that the Gentoo community also values.


https://www.gentoo.org/get-started/

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:Main_Page

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Main_Page

I only needed gentoo wiki and gentoo handbook for everything from the begining. You can read arch wiki for more instructions.


Awesome thanks :)


the handbooks are a true treasure trove.

other then that id recommend to look into (which will all be in the handbook): emerge, eselect, equery, eix (packages/tools related to package mgr)


Thank you for posting this blog post. This post has helped to clarify Nim and how to approach it.

To find tools for Nim I've found the Nimble Directory useful and Awesome Nim list. Are you aware of any others?

HVM: Hugo Version Manager is an interesting project worth a look.

https://github.com/jmooring/hvm

Helpful for switching between different versions of Hugo.


Every problem in computer science can be solved with another layer of indirection.

(And in particular, every design failure related to backwards compatibility can be solved with a virtual environment, evidently)


At what point in this ever deepening well of abstractions does one simply use Wordpress?


Hugo is a static site generator, so I can host my site anywhere that can serve an index.html.

With Wordpress, you have to worry about PHP, a database, etc. It’s the difference between being able to use GitHub pages, and needing either a VPS or shared hosting


> Hugo is a static site generator, so I can host my site anywhere that can serve an index.html.

As long as you have access to a computer that can run Hugo Version Manager (and who knows what else).

I am being facetious, obviously.


He knows that. :-)


No. Just…no. Replace WP with any other hosted or self hosted solution. Been there. The plugin hell, the security hell, the performance hell…WP has many levels of hell.



Here is an experimental for Guile Scheme. While it is currently for VSCodium and Emacs looks interesting.

https://codeberg.org/rgherdt/scheme-lsp-server


This LSP performs reasonably well and having used it I'm not sure it's fair to call it "experimental". There's certainly some room for improvement in the code (e.g. diagnostics don't seem to run consistently with every change was the big one for me).

The greatest barrier I had with it was the installation.


I know about it but that's only part of the problem, afaik you can't use breakpoint in Guile and dependency management is still non existent.


Does anyone have recommendations for which Julia books are worth reading? I've found lists of Julia books but wanted to prioritize my time and get up and running for software development. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thank you.

Here's some more generalized advice about avoiding burnout while job-seeking/interviewing.

I would say the best way to avoid burnout and get better results is to tailor your resume to each job posting.

Most people send out general resumes which causes a candidate to blend into the crowd. My sister used to be in HR and sometimes they only have a small amount of time to skim each resume. So in your cover letter and resume you want to show off your interest in the company and skills right off the bat.

Think of the job posting as bullet points, hit the major points they are looking for in the brief intro paragraph, they will have more incentive to give you an interview.

If you know a graphic designer, it may be worth in to get a custom resume design. Though templates work too, just make sure to not pick a commonly used template. Consider templates on Gumroad or similar sites if you are on a budget.

Another Interview Point.

If it takes them 7 interviews to decide on a candidate don't bother with that company. It shows you that they are

a.) Don't have their act together. A red flag for incompetence.

b.) Are looking for a unicorn candidate and are just stringing you along as a backup candidate.

c.) Already know who they want to hire but have to play "the hiring game" so they can justify why they hired their chosen candidate.

I worked with a company that had me do 5 interviews to get the job and it wasn't a great experience. I ended up quitting due to the management and lack of support.

My advice is a 3 interviews rule. If the company can't figure out if they want you after 3 interviews it is best to look elsewhere. You have to remember that your time has value.

Hope this helps.


> If it takes them 7 interviews to decide on a candidate don't bother with that company.

I don't think I share that opinion. The best jobs I've had were after 7+ rounds of actual interviews: code challenge, several peer panels, systems design, hiring manager, Senior manager, Cutler fit, etc.

That of course doesn't mean there aren't companies out there abusing the system or who have less than genuine tactics. But my point is mere number of rounds isn't a good indicator of anything in isolation. I've also worked at places with less than 3 rounds that were absolutely terrible.


I never had a proper job offer after 3 interviews tbh. Most 90%+ jobs need at least 4-5 rounds.

I assume 3 is for startups


Yes, this is exactly why I posted it. I'm learning Kotlin but thought others would find it useful.


Thank you. I wondered if there was something new. Enjoy your Kotlin journey!


Thank you, I appreciate it. :)
