Amazing news! Thank you!

lexx··on Two kinds of error
Nice article. I agree with the differentiation. You could also classify them as errors that should be fixed and errors that should exist. Some would argue that validation errors are not really errors on a system level. They are only errors on the user level. On the system level they are a feature
lexx··on The Gleam Programming Language
Since when not being an asshole is a political agenda?

Nomic vibes indeed

Indeed
lexx··on Tinnitus Neuromodulator
Have tinnitus 20 years now. Very loud. Can hear it in cinema while watching action movies. First year was depressing. I couldn't believe I will never enjoy silence again. Now I don't care. It's my little friend. Really. Life can be amazing even with extreme tinnitus
lexx··on I built physical album cards with NFC tags to teach my son music discovery
You are in my mind and in my heart. This is a constant thought that I have. I grew up in a house where books, vinyls, cds, slides, tapes and other media were everywhere. Some on display, others archived in boxes. Large part of my childhood was spent with me exploring through that stuff and creating custom mixtapes with songs that I really liked. I still have a lot of them.

I also remember my 10 yo self, designing in Corel draw my own labels and printing them to fit the tape case.

I always ask my self "what is my kid going to explore? My Spotify account?" It's one of the reasons I still collect vinyls and books. Even if I don't really listen or read them from the physical format.

lexx··on Cloudflare Email Service: private beta
All web protocols and traffic through one company! Hm, how this could go wrong?
lexx··on A cryptography expert on how Web3 started, and how it’s going
Is it possible for any tech to become mainstream without monetization being the fuel? Especially social media
lexx··on Build full “product skills” and you'll probably be fine
Software development demands a very deep understanding of a company's business model and effective communication between a lot of people to get the final result right. Not only in terms of coding, but also in terms of strategy and architecture. AI can definitely help for quick prototyping, solution comparison, boring maintenance and stuff like that.

But how can AI help build something that not a single person has the answer to what that is?

lexx··on The i3-gaps project has been merged with i3
Installed i3 8 years ago. Still can't use anything else. I enjoy it so much.

Thank you guys

lexx··on Ok, Cloudflare I am leaving
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it
lexx··on Ok, Cloudflare I am leaving
I agree with your comment
lexx··on Ok, Cloudflare I am leaving
Ironically this did happen but it was a coincidence. They banned us one day later. They did not mention in their tickets anything related to that.
lexx··on Ok, Cloudflare I am leaving
That's exactly what I do in pools. On my case though I haven't read the TOS. And I would really appreciate a warning. Also, as I have already said, it's not clear when and how you are considered an image proxy. There is no way to know or monitor it. Do you consider any website with images breaking the TOS, or because we have a separate subdomain with images makes this a problem.
lexx··on Ok, Cloudflare I am leaving
We are a really small business. We have a headless CMS. We just use media for Content purposes. Nothing out of the ordinary.
lexx··on Ok, Cloudflare I am leaving
I am not saying I am right. I did break the TOS. They have the right to do what they did. It's just not nice and I don't like them anymore :)
lexx··on Songtell
I like that. Something similar that I am thinking is that I don't really listen to genres. I listen to artists. I listen to a song and the start to explore the artist's world.
lexx··on Ask HN: Software architects – what’s your typical day look like?
Here are some of my current material:

- I have a great time listening to "Software Unscripted" podcast.

- On youtube the channel "code opinion". Although I don't like or use DDD and C#, I think that it has high quality and rewarding content.

- I am currently finishing "A Philosophy of Software Design" by John Ousterhout.

- Regarding articles, I read stuff related to my day's obsession or problem. I can't point you out to one. I mean, what do you need to evaluate/learn?

If you need something more specific topic-wise I am glad to share with you

lexx··on Ask HN: Software architects – what’s your typical day look like?
Also, I agree with you about over-complicating with all those patterns. But before I am able to dismiss a solution, I have to understand it. Trying to keep it simple is hard
lexx··on Ask HN: Software architects – what’s your typical day look like?
Apart from those best seller books, the are great podcasts and articles that people discuss their experiences in depth. It helps me a lot, to compose a more holistic thinking.

Technical debt does not increase only for technological reasons but also from business expectations. You can't just "build" a new garden and leave it be. You have to maintain it also. Keeping the system clean and well oiled before building more is important. But these concepts need to be reminded everyday to survive

lexx··on Ask HN: Software architects – what’s your typical day look like?
- Always on a state of mind of redesigning and simplifying everything

- Spending a lot of time trying to figure out the business better

- Studying a lot of books, articles, codebases and discussions on software architecture

- Inspire the team and younger devs to avoid complex tools and solutions and stick to the basics

- Balancing everyday and urgent business needs while leading towards a more simple, boring and maintainable system.

- Trying to persuade people to avoid technical debt at all costs

lexx··on What’s so great about functional programming anyway?
Beautiful website. The transitions between the code blocks are a very nice touch
lexx··on DontBuyDell.com
The past 15 years I had 4 different Dell laptops. Linux was always compatible. I had zero problems.

My current one is a Latitude and I have it since 2018. Still works great.

A long time ago, one of them had a problem with the monitor. They came to my office and fixed it on the spot!

On the other hand, my macbook experience was never good. I guess it's luck

lexx··on Ask HN: Help me summon the strength to finish my project
Maybe your self is protesting for some reason. What does finishing this particular project means to you? Maybe you should take a small break and create a mental distance. Try to forget your ideas about software and business and listen to your personal specific needs
lexx··on React I love you, but you're bringing me down
Amen
