htamas··on Reddit’s disrespectful design
So what do you do when you don't really feel like thinking about anything, like after a long meeting or while drinking your coffe after lunch, or waiting for a build to finish?

I feel like this is my main problem. Sometimes I just want to turn off my brain a bit or I have to do something boring and then I pick up my phone but get stuck on it for too long.

For me, switching to bike route mode froze my phone. Not going to use this I guess.
htamas··on Poor in Tech
Exactly my thoughts. This person just wants to make herself feel good about victimizing herself. Justifying unhealthy behaviour and habits by being poor earlier in her life? Come on. Yes, some of her colleagues seem to be on the other extremes, but many of her examples are just ridicolous. Eg: adult soccer leagues are one of the cheapest activities I can think of, besides running (which is also done by "rich" people).

I'm also coming from a poor family and area, and I also had a few revelations, but nothing like this. My very first of these experiences was at a company paid dinner, where the waiters rolled out a trolley of beverages next to our a table and went away for a couple of minutes. I joked to my colleagues at the table that we could just steal that trolley and nobody would notice it. Nobody laughed, of course and I realised that at that point in my life I could buy a truck of those beverages on my hourly wage. That was nearly 3 months into my career and I just moved on right away.

What framework do you use? I guess not Spring.
htamas··on Vue.js v3 released (pre alpha)
I'm mostly a backend dev, but I have sort of an app idea that I'd like to work on the side. It would be a website on top of Firebase.

I was looking at Vue the other day but it seem to have the same issue for me as the other major frameworks: they need a lot of ceremony to start working with it and has a quite steep learning curve at the beginning.

Since I don't plan to scale my app to a global level, can anyone recommend Vue to pick up or should I look elsewhere?

htamas··on Ask HN: What does your ML pipeline look like?
Excuse my ignorance, but why is an NFS better than S3? Both are loading from disk to memory of the Tensorflow Serving container, aren't they?
htamas··on Hacker facing an 8-year jail term for exposing vulnerabilities in Magyar Telekom
The public prosecutor actually has a unusually high conviction rate (can't cite a source right now for this), but there was a very similar scandal last year where a similarly young security enthusiast figured out he could buy public transport tickets for any price in the then recently launched web interface of the Budapest public transport company (BKK). He did this simply by editing the form post URL on the order page.

BKK then tried to prosecute him but quickly dropped the case since there was a huge public outrage. The website and the related services has been down ever since the incident.

So this is why people suspect they will drop the case soon again, but as an other commenter already said, they are incompetent and corrupt to the bones, so who knows?
