Linux is amazing but

-
Yea, it's a huge BUT per se. I've been using Linux for the past few months for my daily drivers and I must say it's extremely good for programmers. I'm currently using Linux Mint and I distro hopped for a while, Ubuntu, Debian, Manjaro, Fedora before finally settling down with Linux Mint using my thinkpad t530.  Most of the languages and frameworks are well supported on linux. It's such a hassle to install Ruby/Rails on Windows but on Linux it's a breezeeeeeee. I also adopted nvim and I ditched VSCode just after a few weeks of using neovim, I still use Visual Studio IDE for .NET development tho. I don't think I can ever replace it with other IDEs or text editors whenever it comes to .NET, I have a soft spot for it. Besides, it's kind of a hassle to use Chrome with multiple profiles but I can bear with it. But what makes Linux suck is the lacking of professional softwares for purposes like creativity, gaming. Tbh, Linux can never compete against Windows o...

Happy New Year, 2022!

A week into New Year and a lot has happened. For the past 5 months, I've been maintaining a few .NET projects for a Singapore company. Couldn't say I didn't learn anything at all, meanwhile it's relatively easy and straightforward, I encountered some weird behaviors when using old .NET projects with GitHub. Still couldn't solve the missing directives and namespaces after checking out to other branches, I swear to god old .NET framework is janky as hell. Nevertheless, I managed to pick up some new knowledge about .NET, as well as learn some new languages and frameworks. Turned out dynamic languages such as Ruby on Rails and Elixir ain't so bad at all. Functional programming really introduced a new mindset on how I program. But that doesn't mean I didn't meet any unfortunate event, in fact, I got a lot. Man, I swear I care so much about my friends that I cause stress on myself sometimes. But that's a good thing isn't it? Still, I want to meet a fri...

Simulating, configuring and uploading to S3 locally using LocalStack and Elixir

Long story short, I have been trying to find an alternative to AWS S3 to develop my WorldLink's features locally without having to pay anything and today, I stumbled upon some interesting topics on setting up S3 locally: https://dev.to/israellopes/simulating-aws-cli-with-localstack-42kb https://dev.to/israellopes/simulating-s3-bucket-on-localhost-41fh I'll focus only on S3 and aws-cli so if you want to have more details, you can visit the links above.

Asus Zenbook 14 OLED 2022 (UX3402) - 3 months later

-
So I ditched the Huawei Matebook 14 after 3 months and I haven't looked back once. Also, I'm quite lazy so I'll keep it short. Pros: - 2 thunderbolt ports + 1 HDMI port, that means I can output 3 external displays, excluding the laptop's display. So 4 displays, plenty rooms for multitasking. - Also with thunderbolt, I can buy a docking station to plug my peripheral devices while charging using only 1 usb-c port. - OLED display, it's superb in everyway. Nothing much to say about how great OLED is. I usually put the brightness up to 75-80 max. That helps prevent burn-in and it's bright enough to do anything I want. - Decent performance, I bought the i5 model. It's not too bad, I can play a few games decently with it (identity v, gta 4, fnv, skyrim, etc). Not for playing AAA games tho. - Quite light, only 1.4kg - The keyboard is pretty much on par with Thinkpad's - Sleek design and a good big touchpad with gesture support - Decent internal microphone with a...
