craftoman··on Running Docker on Windows Without Hyper-V
Your title is completely irrelevant. You must change the title to "Running Docker on Windows with Centos using VirtualBox".
craftoman··on Show HN: I made a resume generator for developers
You made an email "feeder", ready to suck every mail from any developer and sell the data back to some marketing company.
craftoman··on Static TypeScript: A Static Compiler for the TypeScript Language
Yes! I was waiting for this so long, Typescript is the most flexible typed OOP language and it's way more than just a JS successor.
craftoman··on Why Const Doesn't Make C Code Faster
We're talking about billions of calls that have milliseconds in difference. That's irrelevant when building a basic app that sits on a 10K worth of hardware machine with hundreds of CPUs.
craftoman··on Ask HN: What are the first things you do on a new Windows 10 PC? Any checklists?
1: Windows Firewall Control

2: Chrome/Firefox

3: Git/Webstorm

4: Putty

5: Spotify

craftoman··on I Remove Google Analytics and Use AWStats
Why don't you use custom server side analytics? I wrote mine in like less than a day.
craftoman··on Need help finding a decent book about electronics
Ok thanks for the resources, I know some basic theory about voltage, current, ohm's law and how most of the basic components work and what their purpose, like capacitors or mosfets etc. I want to know more practical things and how house devices work without scrapping every single one of them.
craftoman··on Show HN: Stackkup – Don't let tabs slow the browser down
Make it open source so I can host it on my own server. Why should I ever send you my browsing data? That's the most valuable thing to marketing companies and don't underestimate your greediness levels. I would probably sell then myself and get a new car.
craftoman··on Entrepreneurs don’t have a gene for risk–they come from families with money
What do mean it's not hot topic and who told you that anarchist/communist groups are considered wise choice or something positive? Wanna know what is happening with communist groups in Eastern Europe where most of the communist people that have businesses there are underpaying their employees? Wanna know about the drugs in anarchist groups and how they depend on hierarchy? Wanna know about their rotten utopia? I have a Communist friend, the guy is giving money to the communist group every month and they are forcing him to bring people in and sell their manifesto (what they call "newspaper")
craftoman··on Jai Programming Language
I have lost count of how many new programming languages appear on HN per month. (I'm sorry, I had to say this I hope I didn't offend anyone)
craftoman··on ProgCop, open source application firewall for Windows
That's cool similar to Windows Firewall Control, really great software, recently acquired by Malwarebytes.
craftoman··on Can TypeScript be a compiled language one day?
Wow, I didn't know about these 2 projects. StaticScript looks very promising but it has no complete docs. I will give them a try.
craftoman··on ‘In my nightmares I'm always in the sea’: a year on from the Greek fires
You told you that? Buying a Mercedes and start flexing around considered a Turkish thing in Germany. North Europeans are mostly saving money essentially for buying a house and then start some other various investments.
craftoman··on ‘In my nightmares I'm always in the sea’: a year on from the Greek fires
I'm from Greece. Here you can build anywhere you like without a permit or any kind of paperwork. Almost 2/3 of Greek cottages are illegal properties. Things went more crazy since the solar panel boom cause electricity was the main reason that people were building the legal way and not like igloos. I know a couple of people from my family and friends that were getting electricity using cables from the neighbors and paying them every month but that's another story. What's the most disturbing of all is that few years ago government decided to legalize those properties just by paying a fee. In other words, they tried to legalize properties in the middle of the jungle that haven't been engineered in any aspect.
craftoman··on ‘In my nightmares I'm always in the sea’: a year on from the Greek fires
What are you talking about? That's even worst excuse than blaming Romans for conquering Greece 2000 years ago. Greece had some great opportunities since the 60s but they never settled down some things up. Half of Greeks were spending fortunes at night clubs and bars. If you said anything about saving money back then they would probably laugh at you. Have you ever met a real Greek?
craftoman··on ‘In my nightmares I'm always in the sea’: a year on from the Greek fires
I'm from Greece and I'm the only person who slightly agrees with you here. Half of Greeks are crooks and everyone's scamming everyone. I wish one day, I start a new life in a decent European country cause Greece is a shithole. I'm watching Greek news almost half an hour (sometimes more) for many years and have a big social circle were we share everyday stories. Everything is a mess everywhere, not only in the public sector but even the private has some major problems too. Greece has lost the game years now but you must NEVER ever forget one thing: "GREECE IS ONE OF EUROPE'S BEST COSTUMER". Greeks buy European cars, electronics, industrial equipment, military equipment, agricultural tools, everything comes from Europe but one day European fellows decided to blame the Greeks for cooking the books just to get away with the murder. Everyone knew what was going on like they did with the Brexit years and months before it happened. Politics are way more complicated than you think my friend.
craftoman··on Show HN: Osgood – A secure, fast, and simple JavaScript server platform
What's the differences between a platform and a framework?
craftoman··on The Intelligence Myth – Why I cringe when someone tells me my child is smart
There's NOT a single parent on earth that doesn't comfort and encourage it's kid unless he/she is some kind of a toxic psycho. Every parent think the best of their kid, either it's beauty or smartness.
craftoman··on Perks of Being a Sociopath
I never understood the meaning of not being a sociopath when most of successful people, achieved great things based on that. I'm not a sociopath and never will be but sometimes I envy those people.
craftoman··on How I encrypt my data in the cloud
Last time checked it's better to avoid fixed encrypted partitions. I didn't look into it any further but uploading a 100mb partition file every time for a 5mb doc file it's not practical.
craftoman··on Why Python is so much fragile?
So you have to be Senior Python Dev to address every issue right away without spending a night on a basic simple module. Why isn't Python more dev-friendly in our days, it's like it stuck in the 90s. I know building something without knowing what's under the hood is not the perfect example but sometimes I need swift solutions for a script that will basically run once and for all.
craftoman··on i386 architecture will be dropped starting with Ubuntu 19.10
Am I the only one who gets emotional here? I remember when I installed Linux Ubuntu 7.x on my first laptop (which it's still working in perfect condition). Truth is, I don't use this laptop anymore but I always wanted to install the latest Ubuntu just for the flash backs.
craftoman··on Ask HN: Do you trust/install Docker in your personal computer?
Container isolation based on a kernel that wasn't prepared for this never happened. It's like jails for BSD or cgroup for Linux IMHO. I have found one exploit valuable at $10K, capable of host escaping (RCE) that's still active based on the seller. You may be sceptical but don't forget this one: https://github.com/Frichetten/CVE-2019-5736-PoC?files=1
craftoman··on What Is GridDB? In-Memory Database for Time Series Data
6 times faster than Influxdb? I think it's time to say goodbye to it and welcome the new king of the jungle.
craftoman··on What is a coder's worst nightmare?
>What is a coder's worst nightmare?

Hired by a company and realize afterwards that you must work on a project that's designed and built on potatoes using potato languages and potato tools

craftoman··on Absolute truths I unlearned as junior developer
How can you define seniors as pros? I know some senior devs that suck at programming, still coding in Perl using Notepad++ and their systems are full of bugs.
craftoman··on Apple Selling a Mac Monitor Stand for $999
Not to mention the PC at $6K with 256GB SSD. Still consider the most innovative company. Those guys one day will sell smart coffee cups for 500 dollars.
craftoman··on Why I hate TypeScript (2016)
Typescript is the best flexible typed object oriented programming language ever existed. There's not comparison with any language in that field where flexibility and typed OOP play well together.
craftoman··on Replacing JavaScript: How eBay made a web app 50x faster
Benchmarks are way too wrong. They were using a Javascript library called BarcodeReader and switched to their native that was already written in C++ using webassemly. How can you be 100% surr that BarcodeReader library doesn't step down and messing up your results? It's like saying "I'm using Angular for displaying hello messages to users and switched to native C++ using webassemly. Now my app is 100 times faster".
craftoman··on Facebook: Another three billion fake profiles culled
Greatest AI ever, we should award Facebook engineers and name them "Gods of programming". I created an account few months ago and Facebook algorithms banned it. I never used VPN, never created multiple accounts from the same IP and I used my personal Gmail address. I also never joined any groups or sent multiple friend request.
