mishkovski··on AI code and software craft
So far, I haven't seen any comparison of AI (using the best available models) and hand written code that illustrates what you are saying, especially the "it's orders of magnitude worse" part.
mishkovski··on The next two years of software engineering
This article reads like it was written by an AI.
mishkovski··on Caricaturing Noam Chomsky
That is why Apple’s next big product will probably be an application of AR.

mishkovski··on Lab-grown woolly mammoths could walk the Earth in six years
> If these revived woolly mammoths eventually repopulate the Arctic, they would take down small trees and help repopulate the grasses they thrive on, Church said. Those grasses reflect sunlight better than the dark trunks of the conifer trees that live there. In addition, the woolly mammoths tamp down the snow, making it less insulating.

Those grasses would cool the ecosystem, in turn reducing the release of trapped methane gas from melting permafrost, a major contributor to global warming.

mishkovski··on Vangelis has died
His music is strong nostalgia inducer for me. His melodies, hooks, and effects work perfectly bringing simple ideas into amazing atmosphere and experience.
mishkovski··on How to work with me
Good, like I don’t have enough complexity to deal with every workday, so I need one more thing to read and consider. No, what I need is quiet and less of everything. When we start working together we will learn how to work together. And I would not take into account your opinions about yourself and how you work, only your deeds. Because something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk.
mishkovski··on A UX designer walks into a Tesla Bar
Most used controls should be behind physical buttons. Touchscreen UX in cars is terrible. Furthermore, it is a safety hazard.
mishkovski··on The Deep Sea
I would love to see this for the atmosphere!
mishkovski··on Deno Deploy Beta 3
Deno is not a language. It is a runtime similar to Node.js.
mishkovski··on A journey through the troubled former Yugoslavia
As you can see from the map Macedon was partially occupying territory of the modern country Macedonia. But what is more important than arguing about Ancient Times is respecting the national identity of the people that live today. The history of the name is complicated and we don’t share the same views with the Greeks but that is not the reason to fight over a name. Everyone in the world knows Greece. And nobody thinks they can’t use or consider the name Macedonia part of their history. What is interesting is why majority of Greeks feel threatened of their neighbour’s self identity.
mishkovski··on A journey through the troubled former Yugoslavia
In the recent history Macedonians were rarely in the business of killing or bothering other people.
mishkovski··on A journey through the troubled former Yugoslavia
What you wrote just proves my point about what Macedonia’s neighbours do.

I’m Macedonian and I don’t consider myself Bulgarian. I find it funny that others think that is ok to tell other people what they are. Makes no sense.

mishkovski··on A journey through the troubled former Yugoslavia
It was/is important for young nations and you don’t have to associate it with negative things only.
mishkovski··on A journey through the troubled former Yugoslavia
Nobody mentioned Ancient Macedonians.
mishkovski··on A journey through the troubled former Yugoslavia
The Slavic majority in Macedonia has a name, Walter Mayr. It is Macedonians. Western media’s ignorance of one small nation’s struggle for recognition really puzzles me. Yes we are Slavs but you don’t call Russians Slavic majority in Russia. After more than a century of neighbour's aggressive politics to stifle Macedonian’s national awakening the least I expect from the media is to call the majority of my home country Macedonians.

It looks like alternative for https://material.io/
mishkovski··on How to make pizza like a Neapolitan master
No. It is good. We bake the pizza in cast iron pan. We also preheat it for 45 minutes.
mishkovski··on How to make pizza like a Neapolitan master
Terrible, sorry about that. Only on desktop though. On mobile works fine.

Our last attempt:

We made it in a regular home oven but on maximum temperature of 285°C (545°F) and broiler on. It takes no more than 2-3 minutes.

We followed this recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-SJGQ2HLp8

mishkovski··on Macedonia changes name, ending bitter dispute with Greece
So there are nationalists like everywhere in the world. Is that really an issue? Is this even remotely plausible. I mean Macedonia occupying parts of Greece? Doesn't that sound silly to you? Greece is NATO member which Macedonia is trying to join while being blocked by Greece. Do you think Macedonia will go to war with NATO? Come on, this problem was used by corrupted politicians on both sides as an excuse for bad governing. Oh it is hard to deal with the real issues so lets fight over irrational problems.

And no, large part of the population does not share those views. The reason is simple, those views are unrealistic and have no place in today's Europe.

mishkovski··on The Unemployment Rate in Every Region of Europe
The unemployment rate in Republic of Macedonia is like that for almost three decades. More than 25%.
mishkovski··on The compelling case for working less
>Even so, the apparent belief in balancing hard work with il dolce far niente, the sweetness of doing nothing, always struck me. After all, doing nothing appears to be the opposite of being productive. And productivity, whether creative, intellectual or industrial, is the ultimate use of our time.

No it is not. Good use of my time is whatever I decide is good use of my time. And speaking about this in plural(our time) and absolutes(ultimate) is even worse.

mishkovski··on An aspirin a day keeps many cancers away, study suggests
>If taking aspirin were without side-effects and completely risk free, it might make sense for everyone with heart disease, or just worried about it, to take it. But aspirin does have risks. Reducing blood's clotting potential can lead to hemorrhagic stroke (bleeding inside the brain). In the stomach, aspirin can cause everything from a feeling of mild heartburn to bleeding ulcers. Severe gastrointestinal bleeding can be deadly.

mishkovski··on Uncle Bob and Silver Bullets
>if you have no automated testing then that should be the first priority for a dev shop

This is the key point.

mishkovski··on Uncle Bob and Silver Bullets
I meant automated testing(any kind) vs no automated testing. Most of us don't do any kind of automated testing.
mishkovski··on Uncle Bob and Silver Bullets
Static typing or functional programming can protect you only from some types of problems. With automated tests you have the flexibility to define the problem you are verifying your code against.
mishkovski··on Uncle Bob and Silver Bullets
I think that automated testing is superior to any other tool/technique that we can use to avoid mistakes in programming. Can anyone argue with this? What is the alternative?
mishkovski··on Show HN: 1 KB JavaScript framework for building front-end applications
It is not a library. It is a framework. The distinction is important and whatever you choose influences how you test, develop and maintain your software. Libraries are slaves of your code. When you use libraries you have control. When you use a framework it is the opposite, you depend on the magic provided by it and ultimately you lose part of that control. The choice is clear for me.
