anaolykarpov··on Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?
With the last commit in master in late 2018, SemanticUI seems a bit deserted.

Anyway, in order to change it, you should discard everything non-nextjs and non-docker related from the client/ folder, like client/common/, client/components/, client/helpers (except client/helpers/configureGraphQL.ts), client/icons, client/layouts, client/theme, client/pages/{login.tsx|signup.tsx|dashboard/}, remove the material-ui related stuff from package.json and then proceed installing the SemanticUI.

anaolykarpov··on Build Software from Front-to-Back
Linus Torvalds said "Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.".

Here's a really interesting discussion about this quote and the idea behind the above: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/1631...

As a backend dev myself, I totally agree with it, but I think when we're developing full blown apps we should have the end user in mind and focus on their experience using our app more than on adopting data-driven UI design.

anaolykarpov··on Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?
The main components I used, are: NestJS with Express as an app server, KnexJS as a query builder (because people seem to not like TypeORM that much, it lacks migrations and you have to go pretty fast to custom SQL queries), NextJS for the UI.

Yeah, I totally feel you with falling behind regarding the full-stack web dev with node/react, the pace is incredible.

anaolykarpov··on Ask HN: What's your quarantine side project?
I couldn't find a satisfying NodeJS full-stack for web app development that would be have: TypeScript, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, ReactJS, Material-UI, docker containers where the same backend image used for development would get deployed on production, while the UI production machine would be an nginx image with the assets generated at build time.

So I created such a stack - the Knests stack (https://github.com/tudorconstantin/knests).

I actually started to work on this in December, but I published it a few days ago.

Please beware that in order to use it for your projects right now you'd have to be quite comfortable with the nodejs ecosystem because the whole stack is not quite tidied up.

I love your /jobs page :)
anaolykarpov··on Bitcoin’s race to outrun the quantum computer
That bounty is currently at 185 billion USD. Of course, it would be pretty difficult to sell all the bitcoins without slippage, but I guess one could cash in at least several tens of millions.
anaolykarpov··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (May 2019)
interesting...have you got any inquiries based on your past posts here?
anaolykarpov··on Why I quit a $500K job at Amazon to work for myself
Would you, if you were him?

How much would you consider it to be your "fair share" out of those money?

anaolykarpov··on Why I quit a $500K job at Amazon to work for myself
I love these kind of articles where people are transparent about their salaries. I don't quite understand the envy and the backlash the author receives. With such a negative reaction, I doubt we'll see too many articles like this in the future (who needs all the negativity?).

I'm a software developer myself for +10 years and haven't made $500k in my whole career and for some reason I don't feel any envy for him. On the contrary, I am glad that we're in an industry where people can earn this big.

anaolykarpov··on Companies Manipulate Glassdoor by Inflating Rankings and Pressuring Employees
Wouldn't it have worked to say "I'll be here no later than 11:00 AM"?
anaolykarpov··on [dead]
"works on my machine"

although, http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ reports it as down

Edit: I'm from Romania

anaolykarpov··on Ask HN: Why hasn't Perl 6 taken off yet?
I'm a (very happy) Perl (5) dev and although I've attended lots of Perl 6 cool presentations, I haven't took the time to learn it yet. My reasons are related to the fact that there are not that many commercial opportunities with it just yet. That is a thing which I expect to change in a relatively short time. I've already seen a few job posts looking for Perl 6 developers, which, given the language is declared 'production ready' for less than a year is a pretty amazing stuff.

Also, there aren't hat many libraries in its ecosystem yet, a thing which can be a plus for devs who want to create a name for themselves in the open source world by implementing/translating libraries with a large user base potential.

anaolykarpov··on Ask HN: What stacks dominate in remote jobs?
I work remotely for a US company from Romania. I do web development in Perl. And some jQuery for the frontend, but 90% backend dev using Perl.
anaolykarpov··on Show HN: TrueJob 1.0 – Pandora for jobs and data for everyone
Looks interesting. Some possible improvements:

* add salary info (where that's available) * offer the possibility to search for remote jobs

anaolykarpov··on Blockchain-Based Gold Settlement Is Coming to London
It means that I'll be able to buy gold just like I'm able to buy bitcoin? and instead of physically storing gold I'll have the tokens and will be able to get physical gold for them whenever I want?

Does this means that the demand for gold (and implicitly its price) will soon increase?

anaolykarpov··on It Costs $30 to Make a DIY EpiPen
Can this be a side effect of the "free healthcare" goal that the state is trying to achieve?

When people don't have to pay for something straight from their pocket, they're not feeling the ripoff so strongly, so they don't revolt.

That's why I personally think that the systems where people vote with their wallets are much more efficient.

anaolykarpov··on It Costs $30 to Make a DIY EpiPen
The title could be rephrased as "Cheap guys risk the lives of thousands of people by promising savings of a few bucks".

The problem is not with the "greedy corporations", but with the poorly dedigned legislation regarding intellectual property rights.

The state created the protectionist environment in which companies can become bullies and be sure that they won't be exposed to any economic competition.

Of course, the complete lack of IP laws would deter companies from investing in research, but the same effect have too strong IP laws. Why would a company risk their money and do research once they found a cash cow which can be milked for a long time, having the state guarantee it?

anaolykarpov··on Machine Learning and Ketosis
I'd like to also contribute with my data from fitbit: heart rate and resting hr evolution, sleep time, exercises, a few months of tracked food eaten and water drank, weight and body fat percentage, daily burned calories, etc. Where do I sign up?
anaolykarpov··on We'll guess your brain's political ideology
It most probably said he's a liberal while he identifies as a conservator.
anaolykarpov··on Recalibrate Your Productivity Sensors
I'm a Perl dev and at my previous job my PM was an ex java dev, while the department manager didn't even had technical background (he was an economist). This meant that the management had to completely trust us regarding the tech part of the project (estimations, technical solutions, overcoming obstacles, etc) while we trusted them with regards to the non technical issues of the project - mainly the non tech interactions with the customer. The relationship between developers and managers was one of collegiality instead of a boss-subalterns one where everybody knew their role. They were our facilitators and enablers, not our bosses, while we were doing our best to put them in the best position possible to the client.

If facebook, google, twitter and others are able to run their world scale software on OSS solutions without being hacked, I am sure that OSS can power some national scale software as well.
anaolykarpov··on Using Multi-Byte Characters to Nullify SQL Injection Sanitizing
I wonder, does that 0x5c byte has to be the last one in the character or can it also be the first, or the second one, followed by the hex value of ;, the end of instruction in mysql?
anaolykarpov··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2016)
I wouldn't hire a dev who's still a junior after 5 years of using a technology
anaolykarpov··on Did I just win?
He could market himself and his site in order to increase his self branding.

Even if it is a marketing stunt, it is a nice one.

anaolykarpov··on Did I just win?
Would you pay 100 usd to get on the front page of HN and who knows what other popular sites?

Maybe it's just a marketing stunt

anaolykarpov··on Facebook Rights Manager
Is it time for another video hosting platform to use this strategy and become big? Sounds like a winning tactic
anaolykarpov··on Show HN: Booleans as a Service (BaaS)
How will such a solution store the adress of the byte?
anaolykarpov··on Show HN: Booleans as a Service (BaaS)
It would need authentication and authorization for this. At least for the delete operation
