haffla··on Taking PHP Seriously (2016)
The argument that you don't have to restart the server after editing a file? I mean I've used a couple of web dev environments and I know for a fact that Rails, Django and Express all come with some sort of automatic reloading in development - provided by the framework itself or by a library. Quite sure there is a solution for most environments.
haffla··on Radiooooo – The Music Time Machine
I don't get it. No matter where I click I get: "This area /decade is empty". https://radiooooo.app works though.
haffla··on Downloading Large Heroku Postgres Backups
It looks like this https://xfrtu.s3.amazonaws.com/29577c2f-fd6c-4794-b7c5-4390u...

I believe it expires after 1 hour (X-Amz-Expires=3600).

or just `heroku pg:backups:download -a [app]` :)
haffla··on Ruby’s Rack Push: Decoupling the real-time web application from the web
I'm on third place in Google for "rails iodine" now, lol
haffla··on Ruby’s Rack Push: Decoupling the real-time web application from the web
First time I hear about them, too. Googling Rails + Iodine doesn't yield much information. I'm going to try replacing Puma in one of my Rails apps. The benchmarks suggest that this could be a real win.
haffla··on Zulip 1.8: Free software Slack alternative with email-style threading
Yes I guess with the right hardware everything is possible. The question is if you can get away with smaller hardware when using non-relational databases. Well one would have to test this.
haffla··on Zulip 1.8: Free software Slack alternative with email-style threading
Interesting thread, thanks
haffla··on Zulip 1.8: Free software Slack alternative with email-style threading
I said concurrent users as in users that are online at the same time, each of them probably connected via WebSocket streaming and sending messages.... Thanks for the downvote...

Regarding Postgresql, are you denying that relational DBs are less suited for write intensive tasks than say a NoSQL DB like MongoDB is? And couldn't a chat with thousands of users be a more than average write intensive scenario?

haffla··on Zulip 1.8: Free software Slack alternative with email-style threading
Zulip is using Python and Postgresql. Is this a great choice of stack for a chat app? I'd love to know how Zulip performs with hundreds of concurrent users.

I am currently looking into Rocket.Chat which is based on Meteor (NodeJS) and MongoDB, a stack which, for me, seems better suited for this kind of app. But hey, I don't know, I haven't done performance tests or anything.

Does anyone know about any hard limits with either Zulip or Rocket.Chat?

haffla··on Training exercise boosts brain power, Johns Hopkins researchers say
Interesting! I think I'd rather be dumb than boring, so this game is not for me.
haffla··on Top ES6 features by example
"New cool helper functions appeared..."
haffla··on Untangling the Complicated, Controversial Legacy of Sigmund Freud
"And yet, although Freudian theories are no longer a part of mainstream science, Freud is still incredibly well-known..."

This is just plain wrong.. the author does not have any sources, no evidence.. just a bold claim, opinion.

haffla··on Top ES6 features by example
What? The mentioned Array methods (map, reduce, filter, etc..) are not new ES6 features
haffla··on Maybe We All Need a Little Less Balance
It is the same - maybe to a lesser extend - in Europe. People should really stop telling others how to be happy
haffla··on Maybe We All Need a Little Less Balance
Exactly, you can have these extreme moments in your life and still be balanced. The behavior the author is advocating is reactionary.. overly negative, relax please!
haffla··on I fell in love with an assassin (2008)
"With their story set to become a major Hollywood film..."

Has anybody heared of that major Hollywood film?

haffla··on Show HN: Sourcetrail – Get productive on unfamiliar source code
I didn't see it either. Was about to ask if it'll work for Rails projects haha
haffla··on Ask HN: How much ad revenue you make from your side project?
A shame it crashes on both Chrome and Safari (iOS 10.3.2, iPhone 5)
haffla··on #c0ffee is the color
Why did you even open the tab? It says English Dictionary...
haffla··on Show HN: Monica, an open-source CRM to manage friends and family
I get the exact same feeling mixed with some pity for people who need to be reminded to meet a friend. Moreover, hell, if you don't know the names of your brothers children, there is something wrong with you and this app won't change that.
haffla··on Operating Systems: From 0 to 1
It not only seems, it says it is incomplete which is not unusual for something that is a work in progress
haffla··on Vuetify - Material Component Framework for VueJS 2
Hmm I thought I could use this and add a few Material elements to my project here and there. But only including the CSS completely changes the styling of everything on my page (buttons, inputs, etc..). I mean not even Bootstrap changes the appearance of <button> until you add 'btn' class.
haffla··on German Cities Are Solving the Age-Old Public Toilet Problem
As if homeless people had a choice to become homeless or not.
haffla··on Switching from macOS: The Basics
I find Apricity OS (Arch Linux) much better suited for developers. In fact at work I switched from Ubuntu to Apricity. Through yaourt (paceman frontend) and AUR (Arch User Repository) it's a breeze to install the latest versions of literally everything you need be it Docker, Java or IntelliJ. I think it's comparable with brew. Plus Apricity looks so much better than Elementary in my opinion and almost manages to give you that macOS feeling.
haffla··on Free for students: Professional developer tools from JetBrains
Since at least two years ago I'm doing exactly that. Sorry that you only found out now ;D
haffla··on Show HN: Hapibelly, Rotten Tomatoes for Restaurants
That's the fifth time this month that I just want to try a simple app but can't as iOS 9 is required. Why?
haffla··on California surpasses France as world's 6th largest economy
Being a non native in English I'm really grateful for this comment. I've never really understood this BTQ expression.
haffla··on Learn Docker by building a Microservice
For me one of the great things about Docker is that there doesn't necessarily have to be a great difference between dev and production. Both in dev and prod we simply use docker-compose up. Of course with slightly different docker-compose.yml files and Dockerfiles, no HaProxy in dev, no mailcatcher in prod (It's all so wonderfully plugable). Admittedly, I cannot speak for high scale projects with thousands of containers across a cluster of nodes. I guess there you need to have some more elaborate deployment scheme.
haffla··on Thinking in React
Yea when I started reading the introduction I was like 'wait, that sounds familiar'...
