nocubicles··on Ask HN: What temperature are your mountains?
I think the rule of thumb is that every 100 meters lowers the temperature by 1C. So if you know that on the ground the temperature is 10C and you know the mountain is 600 meters then on top of that mountain the temperature would be around 4C. But maybe this rule of thumb doesn't apply everywhere and everytime.
nocubicles··on What's SAP, and why's it worth $163B? (2020)
I've worked as SAP consultant and Developer for around 10 years. Past couple of years Ive moved to Microsoft ERP's and enjoy them better since theres more SMB's using Microsoft products which makes work more variable.

But I've written my thoughts about what ERP is:

https://www.integrated.ee/posts/the-erp-software/

nocubicles··on Ask HN: What all programming languages does your company use?
C/AL, AL, Javascript, SQL, C#, Go, Rust, Python, DAX, Powershell.
nocubicles··on Ask HN: If you had to start a business, what would it be?
I would start ERP development and consulting business. First I would try to get some work from larger consultancies while also looking for some direct customers for myself.
nocubicles··on Ask HN: What career would you do if it was the 1960's, versus what you do now?
Always thought I would be a blacksmith if I lived in more ancient times then now.
nocubicles··on The Rise and Fall of the Manufactured Home – Part I
Passive house atleast here means a house that generates more energy then it consumes. E.g very well insulated house with solar power, ventilation that gives back energy etc.
nocubicles··on Ask HN: Does Microsoft use Teams for internal comm?
Just a tip for making Teams useable. Every time it doesnt work/wont allow you to join a call/ you cannot answer call etc which happens multiple times a day just run this powershell Taskkill /IM Teams.exe /F and start Teams again. And here you go, you can again answer calls and join meetings:)

I have this script saved on my Desktop under name useteams.ps1 and I have to run it sometimes multiple times a day.

nocubicles··on Show HN: I built a website to find nearby cafes to work remotely from
Cool idea but it shows me Amsterdam cafes but I am located in Tallinn.
nocubicles··on Ask HN: Share your personal site
Mines https://integrated.ee I blog there about the niche tech stuff that I work on. (ERP software)
nocubicles··on Findings on route optimization in practice
Very cool. I just impemented routing optimization software into a customers ERP system and it went live last week. Basically we will ask for route optimization of approx 15-25 destinations and then pick and pack the goods into the truck in that order from the warehouse. Then the driver will follow phone application and start delivering the goods. It took around 100h of development to get this integrated into the ERP but now its work very well.

I will look into this solution as well since I have a feeling that in the future there will be more similar requests.

nocubicles··on Ask HN: Best Way to Contact YouTube
Don't know the answer but thanks for the information. I have also user in youtube where I have uploaded some random recorded videos with my brother and other memories that I have no local copy of. Will make that ASAP!
nocubicles··on Ask HN: Why is everything changing too fast?
I always run Taskkill /IM Teams.exe /F command on my machine when I switch organizations in Teams and back. Without killing the Teams task I will not get any updates.
nocubicles··on Ask HN: What software integration is best for an Android accounting app?
why would you integrate accounting app to accounting software? Accounting software such as Xero or Quickbooks already can do accounting. Whats the point?
nocubicles··on Ask HN: A US programmer makes 3 times that of a EU programmer. Why?
As a former SAP consultant now Microsoft ERP consultant Id argue on the point "You don't have to actually implement anything, only advise." I remember installing SAP on Linux servers, writing ABAP and Javascript, holding workshops to discuss business processes and then implement these business processes in SAP.

To be honest I haven't seen any SAP or ERP consultant who only advises and doesn't implement or write code and I have been doing this for 10+ years. I think its very interesting job because you will get access and understanding to the most granual levels of very different businesses. I mean you work with from general ledger entries to manufacturing to e-commerce while also understanding all the business context.

nocubicles··on Ask HN: Has Anyone Monetized a Microsoft Teams App
Same here. We do have groups for different projects and customers but I never checked them because no notifications are sent when somebody posts something there. I know they store some project related files in these chats but to me it feels similar as Sharepoint - you know there must be somthing there but impossible to find when needed.
nocubicles··on Ask HN: What math equations and properties should engineers be more aware of?
Same for me plus I use:

1. Weighted average 2. Percentage calculations 3. Absolute number

Thats it I can think of for doing financial software development for the past 10+ years.

nocubicles··on Ask HN: Is there service for creating loan schedules?
Whats that got to do with my question?
nocubicles··on Ask HN: What are some good strategy games?
I think for beginner V would suite the best.
nocubicles··on Ask HN: What are some good strategy games?
Civilization series. I've been playing them since last century mid 90s and still enjoing them. I play mainly Civilization IV but V is also good. Don't like VI though.
nocubicles··on 26 Years of Delphi
I am using Pascal like language daily at work. Its modern version of Pascal powering modern ERP ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-centra... )

I have background in Javascript, Golang, Typescript and all other modern web technologies but I have to say I enjoy working with it and its very highly productive for me.

nocubicles··on Ask HN: What language would you code if you didn't need to make money?
I would code in Go.
nocubicles··on Ask HN: Remote workers in a non-tech city, what's your experience?
Vaasa in Western Finland is quite nice.
nocubicles··on Ask HN: Which technology for creating internal desktop application?
C#/Winforms for sure. Use the Visual Studio template and go from there. When I first tried it it took like 10 minutes to figure out how to add some button, attach event to that click, display text etc. Just go from there.
nocubicles··on Ask HN: Who's looking for a co-founder?
I'm working on https://develytica.com its a tool for analytics based on Github data. Some MVP features are completed at the moment. If anybody is interested in this kind of products then hit me up.
nocubicles··on A distributed key value store in under 1000 lines
Few months ago I had issue where I needed to transfer lots of files very quickly between two drives on windows server. All the available tools were slow or had some other issues. So I wrote go program which was about 50 lines or so. I know that I didn't cover like 99% of the edge cases that there are with file transfers but for my use case it was perfect. Still running strong to this date.
nocubicles··on Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses in 2021?
I'm running https://develytica.com by myself. Its a tool for teams to generate team member skill matrixes by using Github issues and labels.

Its one single Golang monorepo and is quite cheap to run because of that. Altough is not providing majority of my income then I hope the % of income its creating will only increase this year:)

Home Alone and Die Hard

nocubicles··on Ask HN: UX of Password Login vs. Magic Link Login?
I am developing currently one hobby project and about to implement auth using magic link. I have never used magic links before but want to try it with this project. My project is kind of marketplace where user is supposed to place an ad and come back maybe next next few days or a week and close the ad. Then he might not come back in months or years.

So I think for this kind of project where the user needs to authenticate himself one off and then maybe come back months later to log in again magic link suites well.
