Ansible rocks
I'm glad I used Ansible for deploying my servers a few years ago. This allowed me to move my current setup to a new Digital Ocean droplet with minimal effort. Just a few changes due to new system versions. 🎉

It's fascinating to see how Rammstein still manages to create controversy and attention
It's fascinating to see how Rammstein still manages to create controversy and attention, even though they are in the business that long. First there „Deutschland“ video, where a lot of mainstream media weren't able to see the criticism on German history and called fascism. And now „Radio,“ a homage to the German band „Kraftwerk,“ a nostalgic view back on DDR history and, again, criticism on German history. And again all media is reporting.
Well done, Rammstein! 👍

TypeScript: how to declare that you expect the class object, not an object of the class
Currently I am working on a TypeScript project. During this project I wanted to give the TypeScript compiler the hint that I expect a class object as a parameter. I couldn't find something in the documentation. But since you can use expressions as type declaration I tried to use
typeof:class Bar {} function foo(val: typeof Bar) {} foo(Bar)Surprisingly this works. Now after I knew what I had to look for I could find a hint in the documentation as well:
Next, we then use the class directly. Here we create a new variable called greeterMaker. This variable will hold the class itself, or said another way its constructor function. Here we use typeof Greeter, that is “give me the type of the Greeter class itself” rather than the instance type.
Maybe this saves you a few headaches.

„I do not get why don’t we all just write Erlang programs. You can write them, walk away for 20 years and they will be still up and running. Pure joy.“
From What I have learned working 1 year full-time using Elixir:
I do not get why don’t we all just write Erlang programs. You can write them, walk away for 20 years and they will be still up and running. Pure joy.
I can relate 😁

EmacsCast: A journey into Emacs
EmacsCast: A journey into Emacs is a podcast of a programmer diving into Emacs. While I didn't listen to it, yet, I thought I should share it because there is not very much Emacs content out there. In the first episode he introduces hilself and explains why he, as a SublimeText user, dives into Emacs.
Enjoy!

I hate running in the winter. The first 15 minutes it‘s fucking cold. Then up until about 10km its warm enough. Then for the rest of the run it is cold again. ❄️

I have started to work with React during the last few months. I have to say, I am really impressed how well everything works and how easy it is to create good, working UIs with it.

I understand now why so many users hate Windows 10... doing some support for relatives, fuck, this is unbearable. Windows seems to get worse every release.
