In software development, it is common to use remote and provisioned workers to execute code and run tasks. These workers can be located in remote data centers or cloud environments, and they can be accessed through a local integrated development environment (IDE) that connects to them over the internet. Using remote and provisioned workers can be beneficial because it allows developers to access powerful hardware and infrastructure without having to set it up locally. It can also be useful for teams that are distributed across different locations and need to collaborate on a project. Local IDEs can be used to write, debug, and deploy code to the remote workers, making it easy to work with and manage the codebase from a single interface. In this post, I will talk about setting up Jetbrains’ new IDE, Fleet, to work with a remote Linux machine.

How To Unzip Files In Linux Terminal
Linux offers a variety of ways to extract files from archives, including zip archives. Compression is truly a lifesaver when you have to send multiple files over, but you want it to be a single one. It can also save you up to 50% of storage. In this article, I will explain different ways how you can extract archives on Linux systems.

The number and variety of npm packages were always a topic for irony and ridicule. If you are not getting what I am talking about, check out the is-odd npm package with 76 million downloads, is-positive/is-negative packages, literally a package to bless your code and many others. While this seems funny, this poses a serious problem, which may lead to negative consequences. But this time, the community pushed even further and introduced NodeOS, an “operating system powered by node.js and npm”. I am going to explain why this is not true and what it says about the JS community.

The desktop operation systems market is split between 3 major players: the monopolistic behemoth Microsoft with its Windows, pricy Apple with macOS and a myriad of Linux distributions, both community-run and commercially supported. In this article, I will try to convince you to try Linux if you are an active Windows user by giving you very good reasons and busting some myths.

Many developers have struggled to work on Windows systems with tools that either perform better on Linux or are not available on Windows at all. Solutions often involved installing a Linux distributive on a virtual machine, on a separate hard drive and configuring dual boot, or using tools like Cygwin. However, this is about to change as Microsoft introduced Windows Subsystem for Linux.
