Shit are you the "saurik"? Oh man, thanks for all the work you put into Cydia and all that. Seriously you are awesome.

This is why HN is special!

Yes, familywise it's great, I just came back from a 1h lunch break on the beach digging sand castles for a good 30 minutes of it with them all, something impossible with any other setup.

I've worked from home for 3 years, than office for 2 and now back to home because of COVID and I moved to another continent.

I have some points on the not good column

- If you have kids, it is hard to focus sometimes, specially small ones.

- Sometimes your SO forgets you are not "Home" and this also can be bad, as it can create stress between you 2.

- I miss software design sessions with my team, we would go thru issues 2x faster being together.

- Onboarding new team members is a lot harder and they feel less part of the "team"

Last one is building culture remotely is a skill a handful of people have, until now at least. So this also becomes a mess...

For me the perfect balance is to be at the office once a week.

Wow, that is indeed a great find.

This looks great, I need to build a customer request management system for our construction company, it's basically a CRUD and this looks like a perfect fit.

Thanks for sharing.

This is huge news.

Kafka is awesome, but using it in local envs is a pain in the ass, if this is never becomes PROD ready it is already an immense achievement to be able to run Kafka locally with less complexity and overhead.

Try Amsterdam, for example. €1000 is your rent.

Exatcly volatility is the name of the game. They do not care about the direction as long as it moves and if it moves a lot twice as good.

Market makers always win.

try funding a startup in europe and you will understand why.

It’s Ayrton, he also knew as much about mechanics as his mechanics

What is salt free chickpeas? they are all salt free aren’t them?

The amount of salt, sugar and other preservatives in that water is probably not good.

Try to cook your own chickpeas, it's super easy, fast if you know the tricks and a hell of a lot cheaper, and I am no vegan, just love them, you also generate less waste.

It actually does with |Exactly-once Semantics| in fact I've been using as the single source of truth in a cash management system for almost 2 years without a single issue related to transactions.

As a former IBMer you missed nothing.

IBM is a terrible work place if you are technically inclined, if you are a slime ball of a manager it’s perfect for you.

So I guess since there is no commision all taxes, fees and inevitable maintainance and renovation costs are already priced in, which is not bad but interesting.

It's similiar to Real Estate Development Funds we have in my country but out of tha stock exchange.

I've been there as a mosque and it was fine, I am agnostic but from a super Catholic family, didn't bother me or the rest of the group at all, it was quite cool.

The smell thought, was super funky, I guess that is what carpets and 1000's of feets do :)

You will be missing out, Turkey is a super cool country, awesome food, super very proud people.

Haia Sofia is not even in the TOP 10 of my list of cool stuff to do in Istambul. I really hope to go back some day and spend a at least 2 weeks in the region next time.

I also did, Ant Design is pretty good, I was sure it was some major company but that explains it...

The problem is that Google Photos is so good, there is nothing out there for free with the same offering. ICloud is extremely limited compared to it without paying ( remember not every one lives in the US and $5 can be a lot of money )

JDBC Template would be way better or something simple like SpringData

I am currently using it for a pesonal project and so far it's been great.

Expect from a few quirks here and there with new integrations and the fact that I hate hibernate and there is no other option for persistance, it's great.

Super fast reload, easy to implement, good developer tools.

You forgot about white sharks, Super venous spiders and snakes, salt water crocodiles, wild dog packs, big oil filled forests (great for mega fires), the desert and the worst of all Drop Bears.

But jokes aside, it's not that bad. Lived there at the most remote big city in the country and it was not a problem at all.

Syndicate is the 3rd one on my list.

Those were some great games.

Same for me, as soon as I deleted Apollo ( to cure my addiction too) I use it less and less because the web UI makes me want to stop using it as soon as I open it.

I have this problem too, uninstalling apollo right now.

I also hate the mobile UI, I think this will work.

Fair comment! English is not my first language, and I absolutely didn't want to offend.

At least in my headI still think it's nothing close to " I hate you for buying this" what I wanted was " I don't understand why this thing sells. "

Good to know! Fair point!

I am among those people, 2 programming jobs, 12 hours a day typing non stop, for 15 years so far. I am probably super lucky but have never had an issue on my wrists and have used every single shitty keyboard you can think of.

I love an ergonomic keyboard, but it costs 50 dollars maybe? This is not that, this is something else.

I swear I don't mean to offend anyone, but it's insane that people pay this much for a keyboard, mouse, headphone, an so on. You can literally feed a family for a whole year in some countries with this money.

Good ergonomics are awesome, macros are cool, but this is like a Channel Bag for nerds, if you like it awesome but don't deceive yourself into needing it.

I love tech as everyone in here, I like my gizmos as well (Oculus quest being the most beloved one) so I understand, I just hate the consumerism that this type of item needs to survive, phones being the prime example of this, but a good keyboard ($100 range maybe) is probably marginally worst at it's task than this thing is.

Again, don't take it as a personal offence.

Oculus Quest has been a major hit, do you have any info on facebook walking away from VR?

I just don't think they are with the amount of work they are doing on the Oculus ecosystem atm.

"Stuck on a problem? Check Hacker News or Reddit for a short-term dopamine trigger"

This sucks and it is absolutely true, but to me it's more about boredom, you know that monkey job you absolutely need to do but is terribly boring to the sleep inducing level?

That immediately makes me search for some other thing to focys, fighting it is very hard, I don't smoke but I think this is the closest that comes to my mind when I feel the "rush".
