drdude··on Ask HN: Markdown/reStructuredText to write a PhD thesis in STEM fields?
try emacs org-mode... some one did it before.

I use org-mode all the time, I don't even know why it didn't occur to me when writing my PhD dissertation.

drdude··on LVM Cache Surprises
I have been using lvmcache for the past 3 years on both my desktop (on which i game on linux, the hdd is for game storage and I usually load one game repetitively till I end it and move to another game) and on my NAS with 3 HDDs and one SSD partitioned to be caches for each one of them.

Never faced any consistency or performance problem, it is such a nice feature and can do it on the fly and however I want to reconfigure.

drdude··on Divorce does funny things
upvoted, happened to me, and I had two kids from her. The moment she knew she could do it, she used ALL the power the laws gave her, and until today I am harassed by her. Not worth it, never again. Marriage is the biggest scam we were miss-educated about.
drdude··on Apple's DocC is excellent, but unusable for open source projects
I wish we had documentations in the form of man-pages even with diagrams as ascii art, and then everything is readable, searchable, highlighted, ...etc from the terminal. I don't want to pick my hands off my keyboard and pull the mouse (or touchpad, or using a thinkpad nip) just to view, read, and browse the docs.
drdude··on Java Is Underhyped
I prefer Scala, even more elegant and expressive... not to underestimate overuse of its features leads to confusion hell.
drdude··on Modules, Monoliths, and Microservices
I have a question, I am also a total noob on this but you maybe able to teach us (I mean it, not being sarcastic, actually I like your reply a lot).

In Scala, for example, when using functional programming, even IO is represented with an object (take ZIO for example, or Cats effect), does this IO still breaks isolation and modularity?

I have seen code that looks extremely modular, reconfigurable, and isolated (exactly like you mentioned) but even IO (lazy/async) didn't make it bad, but again it is encapsulated and not actually directly dealing with IO and it only materializes at absolute end of the computation.

drdude··on Programming for Cats
I thought it was Cats for Scala (the library)

I thought it was Cats (the scala library) :D
