you’re mocking his weak references but you’re not offering one yourself

pablasso··on Gandi loses data, customers told to use their own backups
Even if it is a bad practice not to have your own backups, no one is at fault here but Gandi
pablasso··on The wisdom of never leaving your hotel room
Where can I read more about this Carmack?
pablasso··on Mexico becomes the deadliest country for journalists in 2019
Of course they care. Every tourist killed brings more attention to them than needed, if the person was high profile enough it can bring enough international pressure for the government to take them down.
pablasso··on Hermes – A message broker built on top of Kafka
Event sourcing was one of LinkedIn use cases when they created it, Kafka is fine for all logging needs.

pablasso··on Procrastination and Stress: Exploring the Role of Self-Compassion
Is there any alternative way to access these papers? I'm interested but $43 seems too steep.

Can you share a link to your steam?
pablasso··on Why I hate the weekends (2017)
I get your point, but if there's no space for critique we wouldn't have any improvements ever.

That someone else has it worse doesn't make it invalid.

pablasso··on Matz: We are mere mortals
If you don't mind the feedback, I get the point of your post but you came out pretty aggressive very often. "This is horrible", "wtf is this", "this is awful" are not useful.
pablasso··on Show HN: Chelodina – A Logo-to-Python Transpiler
Here's a link to the repository: https://github.com/pablasso/chelodina
pablasso··on Code Rush – The Beginnings of Netscape and Mozilla (2000) [video]
If you like this kind of content I heavily recommend Halt and Catch Fire. It's fiction on the personal computing business of the 80s, online gaming/communities and the race for search engines and browsers in the 90s . It makes a lot of nudges to current industry leaders.
pablasso··on AirConsole – Play multiplayer games together
That library reminded me of Newgrounds. Back in the day, it was a treat to go through all the games to discover gems but I don't have the patience anymore.

You will be losing the audience though
pablasso··on How to Procrastinate Productively
I tend to do that but is super draining. I could spend hours and then look back at it and get depressed because I didn't do as much as I expected.

And at the end I'm still as tired as if I worked 100% focused on something, I try to avoid this as much as possible.

pablasso··on Instagram building standalone shopping app
So now that Amazon is a bigger threat in the ads space, Facebook enters e-commerce. It's going to be an uphill battle if they want to catch up anytime soon.
pablasso··on Ask HN: Why is MacOS so popular among developers?
My preference is for Unix and its ecosystem. I was a long time user of Gentoo, then Debian, then Ubuntu. On Gentoo I was more than happy to install everything from source and to optimize to my hardware where possible. I moved eventually to more user-friendly solutions (hence Ubuntu) as my work obligations grew because I couldn't afford anymore to waste half a day just fixing up an update in xorg/pulseaudio/whatever.

MacOS is pretty much the ultimate Unix environment where everything just works. You may not get as good package managers like Portage, but MacOS usually has a good enough solution like MacPorts back then or Homebrew now.

OS Updates while sometimes may have hiccups here and there (like the migration from GCC to Clang) it's usually painless with me only having to tweak a couple of settings here and there in my day to day tooling, like tmux. In Linux I expected it to break something major and actually scheduled at least a day to fix it.

In summary, I like Unix and I just want to focus on work.

pablasso··on Laravel 5.7 Released
Does anyone have an opinion on how Laravel compares to Django or Rails?
pablasso··on iPhone X
I hate cases, is like people covering their car seats.

I like using them the way they were designed.

pablasso··on Git from the inside out
This is about how Git works internally, not a usage tutorial.
pablasso··on Fossil: A decentralized version control, bug tracking, and wiki software
How is `git init` or `hg init` harder than maintaining different versions of your code in separate folders?
pablasso··on Vim 8.0 released
You still didn't explained why it wasn't a good practice. This just sounds impractical.
pablasso··on iPhone 7
I get where you're going. But I can't just recall any travel or situation where iPhone cables were not available.

At least they succeeded in being popular enough to be practical.

pablasso··on Legendary Apple Engineer Gets Rejected for Genius Bar Job
Oh, I can play this game too: Why don't we make software without bugs? if you do software in an intelligent way there's no need to create bugs.

Of course everyone strives for better processes —at the end of the day, that means more revenue— is just that those problems seem easier to solve from the outside.

pablasso··on Apple File System
That's why you encrypt sensitive stuff before saving it on dropbox.
pablasso··on Horizon 1.0: a realtime, open-source JavaScript back end from RethinkDB
I'm from a developing country too and that is such an exaggeration. Maybe your career has been focused on mobile, but no way there's overall more native development than web.
pablasso··on Facebook is the new Excel
It used to work with Jabber, it doesn't work now.
pablasso··on Proselint
How is standardization a bad thing in programming? in prose I can see the argument, but in programming you should always aim for standardization for code maintenance.
