eicnix··on Ask HN: CV Feedback
Sorry, the sharing settings were wrong. Now it can be viewed without an Google account.
eicnix··on Ask HN: Open source local equivalent for Heroku
Openshift is moving from a PaaS system to a CaaS(Container as a Service) system.

It might not be the best solution if you want a PaaS but it is certainly a good CaaS platform.

eicnix··on Ask HN: Simple tool to record file history and revert at any time
JetBrains IDEs have a "Local History" feature which does basically what you want.

- Saves files automatically and saves revisions

- Allows diffs between version

- Allows rollback or patches

- Include event information like unit test results or git actions at each version

I don't think this is available as a CLI tool but when you are using an IDE anyway this might me a solution for you.

eicnix··on Ask HN: How much free time do you get per day?
You can at least try to minimize your sleep by using polyphasic sleep.
eicnix··on Ask HN: Consultants, how do you handle commissions?
I have worked for a company where you got "points" for everything you did and provided a value for the company like doing client work, recruiting people, writing publications or holding internal trainings.

The value of each action and the current overview of everyone's points was visible for everyone.

After each fiscal year part of the company's profits would be distributed proportionally to the employees based on their points.

eicnix··on Ask HN: What should I learn right now to keep my programming skills current?
Functional Programming.

The language does't matter but learning the concepts challenges you to think in different terms.

eicnix··on Ask HN: Best (Tech) talks from 2015
As somebody who hasn't worked with react before I find this talk very interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsSnOQynTHs

He talks about improving the development workflow by hot reloading parts of the application during runtime. Slow workflows affect every developer and the idea from this talk can be used to build tools for other stacks or languages.

eicnix··on Ask HN: How is the President protected from drones?
There are drone jammers that block radio frequencies and GPS signals in a area making the used drone inoperable. (https://crab.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/how-to-down-a-drone/)

These devices are used at film sets and important buildings which makes it probable that they are a measure to protect the president.

eicnix··on Ask HN: How do you regularly upgrade java libraries in huge code bases?
Try to avoid huge upgrades but update regularly. Create an automated process that checks at least daily if there are updates and integrate them as fast as possible. Keeping your frameworks up-to-date is important security wise.

If you use maven take a look at http://www.mojohaus.org/versions-maven-plugin . This can be integrated into a maven build and it checks if there are any new versions to your dependencies.

eicnix··on Ask HN: Why is there no modern package manager for Java?
Pretty much everything of the Java ecosystem is open source and I don't think there are organizations that wont use any open source code written by other people.
eicnix··on Ask HN: Best language for micro services for a startup
IMHO: Scala by far

- You can use pretty much any JVM library

- You can execute Scala applications in a JVM which is a pretty common platform for other tools. Think CI, deployment on servers, etc.

- Akka Cluster out of the box. On other systems you have to build your custom communication pipelines for messaging between your multiple instances of the services
