snypox··on A QUIC look at HTTP/3
Not an option.
snypox··on A QUIC look at HTTP/3
Man, I’m just waiting for AWS load balancers to support HTTP2. Last time I checked they still convert HTTP2 into HTTP1 for downstream endpoints.
snypox··on Microsoft plots the end of Visual Basic
You can load a .NET dll in a Powershell script and invoke it. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft...
snypox··on Websites have evolved back to static HTML/CSS/JS files
Plus shifting processing from backend servers to end user browsers can be a huge plus of you have a decent amount of visitors. Also, just simply pushing my code S3 is so much easier for me than building a Docker image and putting it into a container orchestrator.
snypox··on Apple AirPods: iPhone accessory or the next big thing?
If you are in public you can hear anything through EarPods or AirPods they don’t cancel any noise. If I’m on the subway I can’t even hear the music haha. Interestingly, that’s a primary reason why I like it - I can roll with my e-scooter and hear bikers and cars at the same time.
snypox··on Apple AirPods: iPhone accessory or the next big thing?
Of course you don’t need to reach that far, my fingers are not even that long. Grab the middle of the photo with one finger and swipe down. Most (all?) navigations on iOS are swipe based. On another note, if I’m being honest I still miss the “main” button of iPhone after using iPhone 11 since it came out (3months).

Damn Watch really unlocks macbook? I already sold mine (didn’t have a MacBook at the time) but I’ll consider purchasing one again, haha. Edit: shit, just realized how easy it is to fall into Apple’s trap.

And on a long term, more profitable probably. We won’t see Spotify disappearing for a while.
snypox··on German expressions that don’t exist in English
Interesting. I didn’t even know public water tap is a common thing in other countries.
snypox··on Switching from Chrome to Firefox
Whenever I get to ~8 I start to feel nervous and most probably close every tab I have except for the current one. My boss also likes to have 20+ tabs, it’s just insane to me.
snypox··on Go + Services = One Goliath Project
Never heard about this concept, I really like it.
snypox··on Tips for being the family holiday sysadmin
Interesting approach. I don’t like to take the blame either, but I’d never tell my mom and dad to screw themselves. I usually fix whatever is up with their laptops, fortunately they don’t call me up too often. I usually try to go for long term solutions and explain everything carefully.
snypox··on Santa hat removed from VS Code after complaint
I feel like this was really intended to be harmless (it's really not pushed into your face also), people need to be able to let things go. edit: wait, multiple people is saying he's a troll, is that true?
snypox··on JetBrains: $270M revenue, 405K paying users, $0 raised
Switched to Fork from SourceTree, never looked back.
snypox··on Moving to Germany as an Australian (2016)
As a hungarian, I use a US keyboard with hungarian layout for months. It's not a problem, just don't look at the keyboard.
snypox··on Dynamo vs. Cassandra: Systems Design of NoSQL Databases (2018)
Hmm, looks like Dynamo is a storage system. Interesting, never heard about it before.

snypox··on If this project is dead, just tell us
Well, I'd say it makes it so much smoother, almost 'not a pain' anymore.
snypox··on If this project is dead, just tell us
Everything you just wrote basically.
snypox··on Retailers Don’t Like Paying the Fees for Apple Card
Yeah, here in Europe you'll never see anyone (European) using chip.
snypox··on Retailers Don’t Like Paying the Fees for Apple Card
When I was in the US (Nevada and Cali) I was so surprised how many places don’t accept contactless payment. Here in Hungary, even the smallest convenience stores accept it.
snypox··on Serverless Development with Serverless Framework
Cool fact: this was created by the creator of Express and Koa! https://github.com/tj
snypox··on Serverless Development with Serverless Framework
You need to store state somehow - either Terraform or Cloudformation, you don’t have that many options. And CDK hides the Cloudformation layer from you.
snypox··on Serverless Development with Serverless Framework
As the fellow commenter said: I mainly like the power of a programming language (loops, variables, organizing file and directory structure).
snypox··on Serverless Development with Serverless Framework
Since I got to know CDK[0], I prefer it over serverless. It's supported by AWS, too. It can deploy your lambda, or it an just generate a Cloudformation template - these 2 covers the most important features of serverless that our team uses.

snypox··on Ask HN: Quitting Big Tech, what is it like?
Sure! I've built a site that are used by internal sales people where they record customer purchases. Around 10 people per day would use it. Found it boring after a while. Luckily my ex-manager referred me to the company which he joined, I'm happy now.
snypox··on Ask HN: Quitting Big Tech, what is it like?
Same reason I left my previous company. Working on internal tooling for 2 years are not for me.
snypox··on jQuery Core: Migrate from AMD to ES modules
I do understand it and I’m sure it will stay. I just think it’s not a good practise to use it anymore.
snypox··on jQuery Core: Migrate from AMD to ES modules
That's fine, I'll take that my point stands still though.
snypox··on jQuery Core: Migrate from AMD to ES modules
I might sound offensive but I would rather save the TypeScript ‘greenfield’ ecosystem from jQuery. And I used jQ a lot in the past but I think the glory days are gone.
snypox··on My Python Development Environment, 2020 Edition
But how about replacing all of these commands with two words? poetry install
