sisve··on Fast self-hostable open-source workflow engine
Searching for "Vfx pipeline" just gave me visual effects stuff. Quite sure that was not what you talked about. Could you explain a bit more what ypu mean by it and point to a resource. Keen to learn more.

I think windmill could have helped with several of the task and automated some. Its very easy to create dashboard and table with statuses. But its def not a process tool, if that was what he was after.

sisve··on Fast self-hostable open-source workflow engine
It can not. (It does support go)

Also they are using postgres for everything. I think that is a good example of picking one thing that you know very well and using that to the limits.

But i do agree that windmill is doing so many things that the elevator pitch need some work. But a lot of companies are trying to do the same. So i do not think people will think of workflow engine + online ide + app builder as a natural grouping in 5 years

sisve··on Fast self-hostable open-source workflow engine
I think the workflow engine is the _best_ part of it, but together with the script editor (online code editor with LSP support) and a drag-n-drop app builder, that is for developers, so you "drop down" to code much of the logic and connect it to script or workflow, it's a really nice combo. (you see a lot of other companies trying to span out to workflow + script + appbuilder).

It's really made for developers or at least people that want code as a "first class citizen" of the platform. So i has a cli to sync to/from a VCS, VS code extention. But at the same time I have gotten a tech savvy person on the customer success team to create a workflow where they connect to our API and actually create meaningful services way faster then the enterprise developer team would have done.

The script and flows get automatically endpoints to connect to, but all request is saved to db, and picked up by a worker that has to save the result to disk, before the server again pick up the result and send it to a client. So I would not use it to customer. I have used it for a lot of internal tools to employees. Meaning they can wait 1-2 sec, because you can teach them that it works and you provide a lot of value.

sisve··on Swedish dockworkers are refusing to unload Teslas at ports in broad boycott move
Sorry, but I think you are way of here.

I live in Norway, and as far as I know the reason for the immigration problems in sweden is mostly related to taking in a lot of immgrants, much more then other countries did (compared to swedens population) over a long period and then failing to integrated them. Basically creating ghettos. In addition to this the government was to slow with providing additional resources when needed (like severally years ago)

If it was duo to unions you should see the same in Norway.

Both the right and the left in the Scandinavian countries largely agree that unions are a good thing. But we also have a sosial safety net to help people.

sisve··on Swedish dockworkers are refusing to unload Teslas at ports in broad boycott move
Interesting. How is this in Norway? I assume tesla fights union's there also. The culture and value system where union employers and the government is working together is standing really strong in Norway. Could this spread to the Norwegian Market? How big is the Norwegian Market for tesla now? Some years ago it was significant, but I assume the rest of the world is catching up and that its not that important anymore?
sisve··on Microservices aren't the problem. Incompetent people are
A microservice architecture is a good way to solve the problem with the monolith. The problem is the word mikro. It should have a better name. If it was called "boundary architecture" or similar it would make people stop creating to small pieces. One team should not manage 15 services.

Well this is mostly for developers and not researchers. Its about using their system.
sisve··on Ask HN: PG's 'Do Things That Don't Scale' manual examples?
Is that not the biggest problems for software developers? Believing that users come if they have the right product?

You need feedback to create the product and you get feedback by having customers - so go out and sell your product

(Its prop not right for all cases but in general )

sisve··on Ask HN: PG's 'Do Things That Don't Scale' manual examples?
I like your vibe. Execution > Idea.

It's def true for so many startups that they are really really slow in execution.

You need to find developes that execute and not talk about 2 hours in a retrospective about clean code.

sisve··on Cloudflare Sippy: Incrementally Migrate Data from AWS S3 to Reduce Egress Fees
Yes. They called a company i worked for, we used a lot of data. They gave us a few weeks to move off (what we needed).

Do not think its free for all usage.

sisve··on Write code like you just learned how to program (2010)
100% agree. And the context is not only what you build but also who you are working with. A team with high turnover to it and a founder with 2-3 engineer should prop have diffrent ways of doing things, and there is a lot of business context that people are missing. A lot of code do not need to scale or be extended and may be thrown away or stopped worker on in just a few years. And we we as a industry's has gone to far in many places thinking about good code. Its highly dependent on the context
sisve··on Write code like you just learned how to program (2010)
I think you are both right and wrong at the same time. Even in a business context its not sure you want reliable over feature. And I think a lot of developers are focusing way to much on good code. And with that they think a lot on how it can be extended in the future. But they fail to see that from a business perspective this code is properly not living for many years. I have seen so many projects with good code beeing shutdown. Its of course another side here, where you code is in production for 10 years+ with 100 developers making changes to the files... But a great developer / architect are able to really understand the business context they are working on and understand how that influence what you consider good code and good architecture

sisve··on The Workflow Pattern
Maybe before, but i feel that is not a problem anymore. Windmill.dev solves this with easee. Very good UI on top of the workflow engine.
sisve··on 2023 DevOps Is Terrible
Im not sure how former sysadmins feel about it, but from a dev standpoint, DevOps worked great for us. Making a clean cut on a plattform. Was my app down, I got message/called. If the platform was down it was the Infrastructure team / PaaS provider that needed to fix it.

In the old days we had so few deploys and a hotfix was something that was extraordinary. I actually had a board of something in another country approving that we where allowed to deploy. They knew nothing about the application..

sisve··on Java 21 makes me like Java again
Great to hear. I used to program java in 2010 and inheritance was still beeing heavily used back then. But things change, if both the lang and the main community has change to focus more on simplicity its def worth looking at again. Coroutines and pattern matching is really good features
sisve··on Java 21 makes me like Java again
Sorry, what? Is not java toghether with Ruby maybe the most hardcore OOP enthusiasts that uses inheritance for "most stuff".

Has the java culture move so far the last decade ?

sisve··on n8n.io - A powerful workflow automation tool
Check out windmill.dev they have auth including sso in their open source version. Used it to replace zapier for a lot of stuff and quite happy
sisve··on Learn AutoHotKey by stealing my scripts
Did not know about `Alt + Escape` - thank you!
sisve··on Add an AI Code Copilot to your product using GPT-4
Seems like only a editor. Do that host and run your code also? Windmills "Fix error", looks so nice. But you need a tight Integration between the editor / code and the execution platform.
sisve··on Add an AI Code Copilot to your product using GPT-4
Windmill is such a great product and having the code editor and the execution layer in the same product gives a lot of power.

The only similar product i know that has this approche is darklang.

Do we as a industry have a good name for this yet?

(Im not talking about other low code platforms where code is secondary. Both darklang and windmill is code first. Giving them a huge advantage when doing thinks like AI since they can test on real data really fast. Making the turnaround speed and time to production potentially really low)

sisve··on Add an AI Code Copilot to your product using GPT-4
To be able to click a button and send in script, Context and error message. I belive is a huge changes not a small change. Speeding ut the turnaround time a lot.

I will fins out the next 2 weeks at least. I hopw this will change how i program

sisve··on Add an AI Code Copilot to your product using GPT-4
Source code as in current script yes.

But not your entire codebase.

Depending on your company thay may or may not be a showstopper.

sisve··on Paperlike Color: Color E-Ink Monitor
Thanks. Will try that. It's not that much stress to switch. But def a shortcut will be even lower barrier to use.
sisve··on Paperlike Color: Color E-Ink Monitor
Just wanted to point out as a alternative datapoint thay i havr both 13: and 25" greyscale. And 25 is a much better experience. 13" is just to small. Im happy with 25" and will buy this new with color. I do not have flicker, at least not like you. but you need strong lighting on the screen.
sisve··on Paperlike Color: Color E-Ink Monitor
Yes, i have the gray-scale version of this. Its really really good. You do not want to watch a movie on it.but if you need to see a 30 sec movie to understand something it ok. The biggest problem with the greyscale is how much color has to say on everything. Its so hard to see terminal errors etc. Yes you can customize a lot. And I do have use custom vs code themes and terminal themes. Buti need to switch each day when i work. Because of some website where darkmode is default or similar. Darkmode is a disaster for a greyscale eink monitor.

Im def going to buy this device. Have a rm2 and the 13" dasung screen also. I would def recommend the manufacturer

sisve··on Token revocation
If your access token is compromised, you would normally need your refresh token to get a new access token? So it would increase security, but if you lose your refresh token, you def have the same problem.

Or am I missing some context?

sisve··on Outlook now ignores Windows' Default Browser and opens links in Edge by default
I would expect the EU to have something to say to this. For people more into the legal side, why do MS think that EU will not think about this as abusing its monopoly?
