bauerd··on “When it comes to broadband, America is the original shithole country”
I live in a German state capital, one stop away from central station. Best I can get is 50 Mbit/s.
bauerd··on Ory Hydra 1.9: Open-source Golang OAuth2 provider
I'm working on a Keycloak deployment and also had a look at Ory What pushed me away from it:

* Harder to evaluate quickly locally

* Documentation split across multiple services

* Was looking for a more turnkey solution instead of having to assemble and configure multiple parts

* Red Hat as a user

I dont mind Keycloak's monolithic architecture at all so far

Ory does look interesting but I would recommend to market this as a suite, not the sum of its parts

bauerd··on The Plague Year
It is not about fatality rates. It is about health systems getting overwhelmed
bauerd··on Lets talk about changelogs (how I loathe 'bugfixes and performance improvements)
This is about app store changelogs, not commit messages
bauerd··on Subuser: Docker as Desktop Programs
Yes, because you get the performance overhead of a VM

Containers are good old userspace processes in comparison scheduled by the kernel you already run

Yeah with utmost certainty not gonna happen for the vast, vast majority of jobs.

bauerd··on SaaS Needs a Single Point of Purchase
>One turn-off for us for machine learning products was going to the website, wanting to try the software, and then finding a button that says "Schedule a demo" or "Schedule a sales call".

Share the sentiment but both of us are likely not the target audience for these kinds of funnels then. Decision-makers who go down the "talk to our sales team" route are more likely to sign big enterprise-y contracts in the end I guess

bauerd··on Overmind.js – Frictionless State Management
Just because you can doesn't mean you should. A CS degree doesn't mean you won't reinvent the wheel poorly.

The major incentive here is a free tshirt
bauerd··on On Old Age
I remember this post very well. The thought about ageing being a privilege stuck with me too. If I recall correctly, the post was titled "Leukemia has won" … It immediately comes to mind now when I hear people in their 40s or even 30s complaining about their age.
bauerd··on Wireflow – an open-source flowchart real-time collaboration tool
The project website autoplays a terrible sound on page load and gave me half a heart attack. You should remove it
bauerd··on How to Get Promoted
>it's up to each person to choose whether they want to chase the promotion and higher pay or whether they want to focus on just doing meaningful work

There's also something in between: Work as a means to other ends, not seeking personal fulfilment in one's day job.

All these discussions and articles I read here about career advancement and what not seem so incredibly foreign to me.

bauerd··on MacOS-like Fonts on Manjaro/Arch Linux
>trying to get universal shortcuts that work nicely across the whole system

Did you succeed? For me that was the point where I gave up and just went back to OSX

bauerd··on No script is too simple
Have a function similiar to this, reruns the last test command

  function retest
      set --local cmd (history | grep -v history | grep -Em1 "((bundle exec)?rspec|go test|jest)")
      echo "Rerunning `$cmd`"
      eval $cmd
  end

TruffleRuby cannot run real-world Rails yet. JRuby does not always yield the perf improvements one would expect

bauerd··on How can we, as web professionals, help to make the web more energy efficient?
Clearly the (blindingly obvious) answer is that this industry is run by clowns. With the mere exception of some enlightened guys on HN. Incredible what high horse some people here ride on.
bauerd··on Jamstack Handbook – All things Jamstack with 3 step-by-step tutorials
The invention of the "JAM stack" is one of the greatest marketing stunts I know of. Kudos to Netlify for rebranding HTML+AJAX
bauerd··on Ask HN: I'm a terrible developer, what now?
You have to learn on the job, which demands a different skill set than getting the job. You sound humble and willing to learn, which makes you perfectly qualified for junior positions. Don't be so hard on yourself, your primary focus should be to pass coding interviews. The rest will sort itself out, you will do fine. You'd be surprised how many people in this indutry get by without having much of a clue what they're doing, lol. It's human

bauerd··on Motivation – Keli Language
>The other reason is that many FP users are too enthusiastic about creating abstractions.

Elm lacks typeclasses, yet I've found this lack is what keeps a lot of libraries at bay that would have otherwise turned out overly abstract (see any mainstream Haskell library, really). It's the same reasoning behind Go: With great power comes great responsibility. At large, programmers shoot their own feet with powerful languages. Therefore, take away their guns, ie make languages less powerful. I still wish there was something like Elm, but tailored for backend/network programming: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21909087

bauerd··on Why we decided against GraphQL for local state management
If you gave actual technical arguments instead of just attacking the credentials of a person you'd actually contribute to the discussion at hand. As is, you seem to have a pretty bad day …
bauerd··on Pinebook Pro longer term usage report
It's obviously a question of preference but Linux trackpad drivers (eg libinput) are less capable than Apple's in terms of gesture/palm detection etc.
bauerd··on Mozilla sending political ads via Firefox push notification
What you quote is not a stance, merely an observation. One can agree there's lots of socially undesirable speech (call it whatever you want) on Facebook, yet at the same time disagree Facebook ought to take their desired actions [0].

Besides, why my browser should send me a push notification for this particular campaign is beyond me. Even if I agree with the political contents this time, should I expect more push notifications of this kind in the future?

bauerd··on Common mistakes writing React components with hooks
>If you have you're app setup as a SPA, with react router, redux, react forms, maybe you started the app with createReactApp, etc, then you are using React the framework

react-router, redux etc. are all different libraries. Point still stands: You have to pick and assemble these different parts yourself. And then still all those libraries don't call into your code, but your code includes and wires them up.
