C# winforms. There is nothing better if you ask me
blodkorv··on Anonymous leaks gigabytes of data from alt-right web host Epik
Get your own servers. Sometimes it feels like people have forgotten how much traffic a medium performant computer can deal with. You often dont need a full cloud or a bunch of vms and serverless functions etc etc to run most services.

Duolingo can be a good compliment for regular language study.
blodkorv··on Facebook knows Instagram is toxic for teen girls, company documents show
I fully agree to this. I do also beleive that beauty outside of instagram has become much more common. More people than ever knows about how to work out and eat correct than before. Cosmetic and knowledge about them is also much more widespread.
blodkorv··on Usage statistics of server-side programming languages for websites
I use php for pretty much everything. Php has a lot going for it, there are tonnes of developers who knows the ecosystem. It works on every OS/plattform there is. The performance is decent. Any systadmin out there knows how to admin an php application. The tooling is mature and you are not bound to any specific editor or ide.

For me its the perfect language.

blodkorv··on Ask HN: I love coding, but I hate web development. How can I “jump ship”?
There is still lots of windows software being made with WPF or winforms. You could learn that and maybe find some work in that.

Am i the only one who thinks modern dating has the same sort of problem?
blodkorv··on Ask HN: How's your dating experience been as a startup founder? Are you single?
Having a startup and now a stable company has not affected my dating experience at all. Its pretty much the same as before aka non exsistance.

I haven matched on tinder for 2years and offline dating has always been rejection or just wanting a friendship.

But i will keep working on my personality and apperance as i do have to work on those, but it constantly feels like an huge battle to find someone.

blodkorv··on Ask HN: Do you self-host your database?
We do simply because its cheaper and there is not much to take care of with our workload.

We are running mariadb on a debian vm in azure and using both vm backups and mariabackup.

Works fine.

blodkorv··on Ask HN: How to learn how to sell?
The hard thing about selling in my opinion is not the sell it self.

Its the things that sourounds it.

You need to be very organized and keeping track of multiple leads and their info.

Be able to remember dates and numbers in your heard in situations where you cant take notes.

Remeber names and places.

Not to be afriad of dealing with angry people or disapointed people.

Always be happy and social even when you have a bad day.

Knowing where you can reach leads and where to find contacts.

Knowing where to "start" when you have no customer base to go off.

Always always always follow up, no matter what. Dont let things slip from your fingers.

blodkorv··on IBM creates 2nm chip
As of now Intel/AMD will always be cheaper for the performance you get. So it guess legacy is the only logical reason.

In some benchmarks power is faster but instead of spending the extra money on power you can just buy more intel/AMD cpus and not bother with making sure your software work on power.

blodkorv··on IBM creates 2nm chip
How big is IBMs chip manufacturing?

Power seems to be more and more out of fashion and other chips seems to preform way better. They cant be making much of those?

blodkorv··on Initial preview of GUI app support for the Windows Subsystem for Linux
Soon linux will be very much illrelevant on workstations. Very nice
blodkorv··on IBM employee forced to stop kernel work under personal email address
It should be legal. I dont see the problem with having terms like this. There are plenty of other companies to choose from if you are a developer. From a company perspective it makes 100% sense to have terms that restricts when a developer is allowed to work on a project.
blodkorv··on You Are Not ‘Behind’ (2016)
Most people are behind. If you compare yourself to a 26yo tech guy who made you are for sure behind him and no article or reasoning can undo that.
blodkorv··on PHP in 2021
I use php for my startup and all new things are made in php for these reasons.

the ecosystem is very much complete. There is nothing that has not been done and tested in php.

Plenty of developers know php and if you have done C#/Java/C++ etc its super easy to learn.

Its easy to setup and well documented and the LAMP/LEMP stack is battle tested and people know it well.

There is great Editor/IDE support with plenty of options to choose from.

You can run it on any kind of developer-os and do you development there then just deploy it to a linux server. Altho docker solves this now with any lang its still nice if you dont want to use solutions like this. I have devs developing on windows, linux and mac with no issues getting the whole development stack running and then deploy the app on linux with no issue. This has been a challange in ruby on rails last time i tired it (back in 2010).

The laravel framework is great.

blodkorv··on Visceral fat shows strongest association with ICU need in patients with Covid-19
> People are able to stay fit, lean, and healthy without becoming some robotic fool who survives on water and protein powder.

Yes those are often those people who dont have that big of a problem to start with. You have a lot of forces working against you when you have an weight problem especially when you are obese.

> Tracking your TDEE and macros is very simple, and not restrictive at all. One can drink beer, eat pizza and candy, and retain a great physique with ease. It requires only that you don't go overboard when indulging. One doesn't have to be in a caloric deficit every single day. As long as one is in cal-def a majority of the time, it's fine. As long as they don't shovel enough food into their mouth on their 'bad' days, to undo all the hard work from the 'good' days, it works out fine.

You are forgetting why people get overwieght from the beginning. Weight problems are mostly an psycological problem and if it where as simple as not shoveling food in their mouth on their bad days there this would not be an issue at all.

Am not trying to convince people they cannot suceed, but I think its important to tell people how hard it can be and it get harder the more weight you have to loose.

Try to loose weight when you have two/three lunch bussiness meetings where the client has payed for the lunch/dinner and then have a social life with alcohool and food during the weekend when you have a weight problem. Its a hard task and requires a decent amount of dicipline.

Am not saying its impossible to loose wieht and that you should not do it. But its important to know the challange ahead and what it will take.

its more complicated than that depending on your life.

You will never look like a model by just lifting weights and running. You need a propper diet plan and a life that supports it.

Going on dinner with your friend? that will be a no for a year.

Having a bussiness lunch meeting with clients or bosses? Thats a no for a year.

Skipping a week or more of lifing because of unexpected life reasons? Thats a no for a year.

Guarantee a majority of your sleep to be of good quality for a whole year? Very few can do that.

Being on a caloric deficit and maintaining a high protein intake every day for a whole year? That is really hard and requires you to have no unplanned events for a whole year.

Getting in a situation where you have no real good options for your diet plan, you need to make sure never to get there for a year.

If your goal is "just" to loose weight its a bit easier but still a lot of hard work with no compromises for a year, and if you want to look like a model then you need hard work and good genetics to support that.

The time investment depends a whole lot on external factors and its never minimal.

blodkorv··on Ask HN: What tech job would let me get away with the least real work possible?
It guy at a highschool. Only downside is the salary.

blodkorv··on Architecture of the Playstation 2
Despite its advanced and complicated design it was outpreformed pretty easily by more general purpose cpus that where not nessicarily much newer.
blodkorv··on Why did I leave Google or, why did I stay so long?
He is right on almost all of what he is saying regarding work life balance and such.

But if you have the oportunity to not have to work under a guy like that. Why would you? At most you will get a salary raise but ultimatley you would be working very hard under his wip to realize his dreams and goals.

The mind set he has can be really benefitial for certain companies and it is really helpful for start-ups to work like this because you establish an base line of dicipline in the company culture that is valuable.

But he obviously is not capable to reflect back on himself and see who he are. These sort of people rarely are capable of that and if they do they dont really care.
