It has its uses in enterprise environments but it takes a special kind of business-y person to setup, configure and maintain. I worked at a small startup with at its peak 30 people (of which 10 in sales/marketing) and we implemented Ne

I believe it is. The big thing that made IntelliJ completely click for me is when you buy the Ultimate edition and you download some plugins for Ruby,Node,Python or whatever languages you use you have a full IDE that works for pretty much a

I’ll check out the projections as they seem interesting and I don’t know them very well.

One of the main takeaways is that it’s still running on a very old version of Rails and JQuery. Maybe not great from a security standpoint but it shows that you do not need a Kubernetes cluster and a big HA setup and a modern language/

It's not about hardline blocking javascript and never running a single line of code. I run NoScript (probably similar to the parent) and block all javascript by default because I don't want anyone else executing code on my machine

I prefer to code one level deeper and I mostly use plain Spring MVC controllers. That way I can still have spring security for the endpoints but it keeps the endpoints more decoupled from the repositories. I typically have a repository gene

I like IntelliJ's "Quick Definition" shortcut for this. It allows me to see the definition of a function in a popup window so I can quickly glance at what a certain function does without the full context switch.

This is interesting. After recently learning Mutt and falling in love with its macros and tag handling I was thinking about implementing a GTD flow based on a local email server and use mutt as the client. This project might serve well for

Check out the control panel on a BMW X3. There are dedicated buttons for navigation, media, menu etc next to the big scrollwheel. Navigation even has two buttons. One for showing the map, one for launching a new location. The screen is touc

It allows bloggers that want to keep control over their own platform and content (read: not use Medium) to be part of a bigger network of selfhosted blogs. Like in the good old days. I for one hope it catches on

So many people in this thread complain about AMP being forced on them as an end user. Nobody forces you to use Google... Just use another search engine like DuckDuckGo. It is sufficient for over 90% of my searches and I haven’t seen an amp

I would like to see a post like this comparing services like RDS or Mongodb Atlas on different instance sizes. For example: what is a typical writes|reads/second I can achieve on a Postgres RDS db.m4.large instance.

The gateway was running on a linux box in a closet somewhere in the building so I was able to go there physically to resolve the issue.

This reminds me of the time I wanted to test packet loss for a VoIP app and used `tc` to introduce 95% packet loss on the office gateway and because of the packet loss I could not ssh into the box to turn it off... on Google scale.

I also browse with noscript all the time and I get them quite often. Mostly on product landing pages and Show HN demos.

I’m thinking about doing this for my optionally self hosted SaaS. I plan to provide docker images, jar files and maybe some OS packages for common distros but I am still undecided on where to host them as the core jar files are closed sourc

Nginx is an amazing workhorse and can help out with logging/monitoring/metrics. Some tools I like to use to improve the experience: * Fluentular [1] - A tool for matching Fluentd log parsing to your customized nginx log format * N

I try to encode all constraints in the database using constraints and triggers. This way your data is always consistent regardless of which app/language is interacting with it. Sometimes I add the same or similar constraints in the app

Yes, 500 bytes extra but it's not only for the developer discovering the API in a browser. If the client developer is exploring the API and then manually implementing an API client something is not right. Hal clients for this use case

What really convinced me about HATEOAS and links was the first time I used a HAL browser and started clicking around to discover an API using only its entry point and navigating from there. From that point on I try to use it as much as poss

This is very interesting. Would this also support hosting artifacts for closed source projects without having to add every user to my Github org? For example, I am working on a SaaS product that can be optionally self hosted. I want to prov

Very Nice! Congrats on launching. I'm definitely checking this out soon for support in my freelance gigs. I like the pricing model, I'm intending to do something similar with my next product. Selfhosted, pay once, use forever, opt

And there is more: * you don't have to use HQL, if you pass `nativeQuery=true` in the @Query annotations you can write standard SQL instead of HQL. * You can add an AccountRepositoryImpl Bean so you have a class in which you can inject

Both... I prefer a hybrid approach when it comes to ORM's. In most projects I will use an ORM to avoid boilerplate for simple entity queries (save, findByid, findByX, delete) and converting a database row to a class instance but I avoi

Deals happen in lots of bike races, both in pro and amateur/youth categories. But word gets around fast in the peloton if you make a deal and do not honor it. If you pull a stunt like this especially in a big race like a national champ

Is there a good repository or aggregation for tech-related anki decks? I was thinking about creating new decks for books I'm reading to keep the contents in my memory but for some common topics someone might have already done the work

I get that, that is why I ask. I'm interested in becoming a full member of the team and fully integrate but I would like to keep my company setup just for the legal side of things & payment. I don't mind having a longer term c
