barhum··on Show HN: Nettu Scheduler – A self-hosted calendar and scheduler server
Well, I was thinking of saving the booking slots presented to the customers for data purposes. Also, I was thinking that it might help to store the presented slots in case someone else books it before the person decides to reserve. This way eliminating the option in realtime might be easier and without having to recalculate all the remaining available slots again? But maybe there is a better solution to this....
barhum··on Show HN: Nettu Scheduler – A self-hosted calendar and scheduler server
I am trying to build a SAAS service for booking services. One of the engineering issues I ask myself is if the following will become an issue in the future: do I save all the options of slots available I show each customer in the database or do I just calculate the slots virtually and save only the confirmed bookings?
barhum··on We Don’t Use Docker
Have you tried Dokku? Very similar to Heroku. I run it on a DO server without any issues.
barhum··on Who wants to live for ever? Ageing can be cured–and, in part, it soon will be
For myself I would prefer a solution were I would still die but can retain all my functions until that day (mental performance, muscle mass, strong bones, bodily functions, etc).
barhum··on Google One is coming soon
It would be great if Google drive wouldn't use up my MacBook's battery so fast. All the time my cpu usage is at 100% when using Google Backup and sync. Something that other competitors have managed to do better than Google. Using dropbox at the moment.
barhum··on Health dangers of sleep deprivation
Dr. Walker has actually stated that very few people can operate with 5 hours of sleep due to genetics. Most of us need between 7 to 9 hours of sleep.
barhum··on Ask HN: After working 70+ hrs a week my manager says no for promotion
Most people just act irrational and maybe can't really see how much you actually contribute to the organization. We humans are really biased when it comes to choices.

I would read these two books:

She said the following a while back:

"I think that the minute that you have a backup plan, you've admitted that you're not going to succeed."

I bet she wishes she had a backup plan now...

barhum··on Ask HN: Starting a web project in 2015. What stack to use?
Why don't you try out Meteor? I found it really easy to work with. You could probably go through the whole book tutorial (discovermeteor.com) in 20 hours. If you don't end up using it on production; it might help you with faster prototyping.

barhum··on Toshiba says they made a mistake but they still cannot help me
I have actually bought many Toshibas from abroad and took them to certified Toshiba centers here in Guatemala. It seems that they recently changed which countries it covers but forgot to change the documentation on the box and the warranty card.

So if other companies are worse does that excuse another of doing wrong?
barhum··on Toshiba says they made a mistake but they still cannot help me
Most brands are made in Foxcon anyways. I think it is the support and service that makes the brand.
