llIIllIIllIIl··on Get in zoomer, we're saving React
React now is as mature as PHP4. Wake me up when it gets to PHP7 at least.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Show HN: WakaQ - a Python distributed task queue
Is there any communication between workers? Say I start two identical workers that have the same schedules set up. Will it run the scheduled tasks twice?
llIIllIIllIIl··on Show HN: WakaQ - a Python distributed task queue
Thanks for honest answer. I hope you enjoyed the development of this software. I will use it the next time I need a queue.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Show HN: WakaQ - a Python distributed task queue
Very nice and ambitious project. Did you compare vs Dramatiq? It was created to overcome same shortcomings of Celery.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Ask HN: What is the best config file documentation you have seen?
php.ini

Seriously, that is usually the easiest configuration i had to deal with. Although there are hundreds of configurable options, each one is thoroughly documented in the same file.

Yaml config, although being better structured, rarely have any comments with explanation, and I’m still waiting to see one documented at 30% of php.ini.

llIIllIIllIIl··on Physical buttons outperform touchscreens in new cars, test finds
Touchscreen for media system and navigation in the car is ok. I always find it distracting to go through the menus to change air conditioning.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Who is collecting data from your car?
Because that’s not their problem. They want all their customers pay more, because people can change their driving habits. It shall never be the reason for profits to fall through.
llIIllIIllIIl··on What I don’t like about working at a remote job
The very same article could be titled "What I don't like about being not determined in life"

It looks like people don't know what to do with their life and find work as a meaningful baseline that is acceptable in social gatherings.

llIIllIIllIIl··on As weed gets more potent, teens are getting sick
This is messed up. Non-tolerant person dose for “stoned” would be like 20-30mg. I take 5 or 10 on a day i need to chill and i can feel it already.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Teach your kids bridge, not poker
Teach your kids starcraft 2 wings of liberty specifically. What a bs.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Gov.uk drops jQuery from their front end
Can someone ELI5 what's wrong with jQuery? People complain about 30 kilobytes jQuery consumes. But at the same time their 5mb minified react babellized gulped uglified webpacked blob is alright to load. Is there anything else that is missing?
llIIllIIllIIl··on Can we make a black hole? And if we could, what could we do with it?
Send trash in it.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Ask HN: What’s a good laptop for software development at around $2k?
I've got ThinkPad X1 Carbon (gen 6) since it showed up at Costco (2018 maybe? idk) years ago and didn't have any real issues with it. The only thing that is not working is a fingerprint scanning, but I don't care. The battery never let me down.

I develop on the laptop with vscode and docker. This is intensive computing for me, but I don't do npm installs. Can you unpack what's intensive computing for you?

llIIllIIllIIl··on Ask HN: Hybrid/Remote software team rituals
We have an optional daily 30 minute meeting (happens during my morning, different for others in different time zones) where we chat about everything sipping coffee. Absolutely non-formal, work items come up for discussion usually once per week.

This works quite well for people to better know each other. The best thing is that it's optional.

llIIllIIllIIl··on Russians are trying to flee – data from Google Trends
Nobody said it would be easy.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Russians are trying to flee – data from Google Trends
Go fight against Russian zombies in Ukraine to win your right to have a bank account.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Yandex Provides Update on Impact of Current Developments
So they are choosing bankruptcy over jail. What an honorable way. Let them do it with glory.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Skip: A programming language to skip the things you have already computed
Different arguments would provide a different result, wouldn’t it?
llIIllIIllIIl··on Impacts of lack of sleep
Congratulations!

Your newborn has a distinct smell at the back of their head. You can smell it when you’re feeling tired and it will give you energy compared to a shot of espresso. Goes away around 6-7 months.

Fully empirical knowledge, I cannot explain the science behind it.

llIIllIIllIIl··on Work/life balance should be difficult
You're right, that was coming from the statement that the father was a SV engineer.

My parents didn't have any exciting projects either, in fact, children's lives depend on my mother who is a pediatric cardiologist in 3rd world country. Nevertheless, she came back from work and read the book with me before bed. I couldn't ask for more.

But when people pull long shifts to get the next version of the browser that makes marginal improvements instead of spending time with friends/family/doing a hobby (essentially living, not working) and take it as a medal of honor, they are missing a lot in life. People working late hours to put the food on the table and people deliberately working late and then using it as an excuse are different. If they're the latter, please don't tell that they're having hard time balancing work/life.

llIIllIIllIIl··on Work/life balance should be difficult
Your work should revolve around your life, not your life around your work. There's always going to be another exciting project after this one. There's not going to be another exciting life after this one.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Ask HN: Great tools for solo SaaS founders?
I would like to add [Sentry](https://sentry.io/) to the list. Helps identify the issues your customers have with SaaS and produce better code with a piece of mind.
llIIllIIllIIl··on “Click to subscribe, call to cancel” is illegal, FTC says
privacy.com
llIIllIIllIIl··on Show HN: We built an end-to-end encrypted alternative to Google Photos
Exactly my point. I’m getting close to 200gb, but it’s gonna be a while I reach 1000gb. So essentially i’ll be paying for the space I don’t use for years.
llIIllIIllIIl··on Show HN: We built an end-to-end encrypted alternative to Google Photos
Awesome work. Although the price is 5x of google’s, the privacy is worth it.

Is there a family plan? We currently have 200gb google photos plan with my wife, but to migrate we have to take 1000gb plan (which we fill maybe in 8 years at current pace of adding content). Maybe something in between 100gb and 1000gb would find it’s audience.

llIIllIIllIIl··on Django Unicorn – A full-stack framework for Django
Just yesterday started exploring sockpuppet[1] and was impressed with the speed. Websockets made any change feel instant. Also liked how it uses data attributes to specify dynamic behavior. It should be powerful enough to build simple interactions but has clear way to extend for complexity. Will try today how sockpuppet works with django-tenants[2], if it does it will become my go-to toolset for web development.

llIIllIIllIIl··on iOS 14 tracking changes sees big ad spending drop, tumbling prices
Excellent
llIIllIIllIIl··on How Our Slack App Got to 200K Users with No Marketing Whatsoever
Telegram has exactly that.
llIIllIIllIIl··on We've been running a bootstrapped startup for a year
I got confused. They mention it’s a bootstrapped business but then they recommend to prepare the pitch deck for investors. If you take investment from VC you’re not bootstrapped company any more, are you?
llIIllIIllIIl··on Tips for immersive video calls
Gave up and use phone exclusively for video calls. I do not need my coworkers’ face on 27” screen to see what he thinks about what i say. Also works extremely well will airpods and video quality is great. Spent exactly $30 to get generic holder for the phone and that’s it
