Its the same thing. Versioning and backwards compatibility costs a ton of money and blocks your innovation. Legacy hell comes often enough also from dependencies you can't get rid of anymore...

People have to realize, that software is not done when written. Software makes the fabric between everything in our lifes. It brought us tones of innovation; It is one of the biggest enabler, innovation drivers and tool we have. It is one o

This will happen once and then there will be a test for it. My automated system will only get more resiliant over time. This is a benefit for the system itself. Of course when you do it manually, you will learn and gain experience but thats

Yeah 'ethical engineers'. They exists don't get me wrong but you know plenty of engineers don't care or bother with more simple things like recycling, keeping themselfs in shape, working on their own mental health etc. e

I had a time in my life where the price of a motherboard mattered. But you can't tell me, that most comments here on HN are from poor students which will not be able to afford a new CPU+Mainboard after 4 years or so. I have not had thi

When i read comments here i'm wondering how and why people are either for or against intel? IF i need to upgrade, i will check the current situation and will buy the best cpu in comparison to my needs and price. If it means that i need

What is your rough setup then?

by Wandfarbe 6y ago
That sounds like a very small setup you run with very limited requirements if you run this successful. The benefits they are mentioning are theoretical for you and i personally have not worked in a professional env where VPSs and rsync woul

I'm not sure if you have seen a proper build and maintained automated e2e lifecycle. You write code, you push it, 5 Minutes later it is rolling out, tested, with health checks and health metrics. Your infrastructure itself is keeping i

I stoped 2 webshops which basically sell expensive stuff 20% off by wire transfer (bank transfer?!) which then never send the goods of course! I did the following: - I found out where it was hosted and send them an email explaining them why

I got slight issues with my trackpad. I have not figured out a proper pattern though. It is still rare.

I'm not sure what your background is but your analysis sounds quite strong opiniated. There are examples in law that 'work' can be protected; Just because you don't have the copyright doesn't mean that someone else

Just because someone says 'you will get RST when you do x' doesn't mean its true. I'm touch typing now for over 18 years, quite fast, basically started with touch typing and i don't have issues. There are plenty of

Highly depends on the skill level and experience of your overall team. There are plenty of people writing code in small companies who just never seen or heard it or never experienced the advantage of doing it good/better. They get a ta

I'm not a big fan of people just doing what the ticket states. Quality doesn't start when a customer comes up with a simple fix/enhancement. Quality comes from people with experience who knows exactly what needs to be done ev

yes and i'm always looking at HN Entries which show the next file upload etc. and think 'puh holy shit they are fearless' because thats why i'm not building something like this. I would create a company to have legal sep

I do see my comment in context of using SQL for your Queries while your main focus as a Developer (like for java etc.) is not writing SQLs as your main priority. Also it does state 'we can do better than sql' and i do have a certa

by Wandfarbe 6y ago
I'm not doing SQL every day but i have rarely any issues with it. Do we really need to do better than SQL? I don't think so and i also don't think that the chosen new syntax is better. At the end of the day, most critical is

I'm struggling today as well with this shit: I just wanna write a few small lines of a shell script which downloads stuff; It is very very stupid through what loops you hvae to jump to do this with curl and bash script in a good way in

I'm not sure if i missed it but you did mention physical keyboard; Without this physical keyboard, you have phones like https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/#overview Also there are plenty of non google service

I assume so; I would not replace my proper well working phone with a makeshift device like this at all. And there are plenty of options out there already; No need to wait for this setup.

I would love to hear from you in 1-3 years again to see how your journey continues; Its always interesting to see that a lot of people see things different :)

Sure it will but if you earn already 200k a year, your potential includes an increase over the next 5 years; And sure thats probably slightly easy calculated but personally for me, living 5 years very frugual and then buying a house and the

I'm curious and would like to understand it a little bit better: You had a well paying job which would allowed you, in only 5-10 years to basically buy a house for half a million and then retire with the other half million. What motiva

Whatever you do, make sure to get the basics right: - Good UI - Fast UI - Good performance and if this is not possible, keep the UI responsive and give Feedback to the user

I think the art is in actually finding yin/yang. At the end you oscillate in-between. I don't think you can really get away from it.
