Re:LaBanquePostale payments request bank password on Monday March 21, 2022 @08:58AM (#30753568)
Almost every french bank does the same and ask you for a confirmation code that you can find inside the Android/Apple Application (I guess it's an OTP kind of thing), Since I didn't want to install the application I asked my bank a code they sent me a fixed code by postal mail. So you have 1 code by SMS then this code.
Windows 10 with Visual studio, Vim and Visual Studio Code (that can now connect to WSL). I have WSL2, so I can use a mostly POSIX compliant OS at the same time (and use app like grep/sed/uniq/wc etc...).

I want to run on the same environment as my users.

Re:Ask HN: Do you contribute to open source? Why? Why not? on Friday December 13, 2019 @05:39AM (#21780561)
I do not, mostly because I work with proprietary software at work. On my free time I submit bugs on GitHub for the projects I use (mostly small projects), with the technical solution inside, but not with PR (as i feel like the owner may have a broader view, and fix it in a better way).

Are you talking about the cosmetic for the Lina second spell ? Doesn't the cursor show the Stun range when you're about to cast it ? (the only broken cosmetic is the one that make Nyx Assassin look like Sand King)

IMHO, Calorie is an awfull unit when it comes to nutritions.
I'm no expert in roads, airplanes, etc but a car weight 1/2 tons but i would not land an airplane (between 300 and 500 tons)onto something like a solar panels road, and for safety measure i think it's not optimal (fire, etc...) ?
Re:Google Cloud Healthcare API on Monday April 08, 2019 @10:36AM (#19605579)
I wrote a HL7 ADT parser (version 1/2 with the horrible MSH header) with some fields removed/obfuscated to meet legislation in my country, yes HL7 is a mess, it looks awful, but it works.
It's true that it didn't matter who gave them the news, but a lot of what we call "communication" is non verbal, so I think the screen did not help. You can forgive someone for something if he's in front of you, i doubt you would forgive him the same way by SMS/Phone call.

Re:A portmanteau of every word in English (2015) on Monday December 03, 2018 @12:22PM (#18590566)
The funniest thing is that Portmanteau is not a french word in the first place. it's a large travelling case wich open like a book (in old english).

Porte-Manteau used to be the guy carrying the coat of the King and is not a Portmanteau. We translate portmanteau as "Mot-Valise" in french which means "Case(as in luggage)-Word".

I had to deal with theses processors this weekend (Allwinner H3) for a side project (Pandora Box5 Jamma, an arcade system), the documentation is awful, i was unable to find the "real" SDK, the boot0 is a proprietary blob, but i found this awesome project https://linux-sunxi.org if you want to work with these kinds of processors.
Re:Should I Learn Java in 2018 on Friday July 13, 2018 @09:02AM (#17522546)
>I think that its time that the enterprise switches to full stack Typescript as a much better solution for developing enterprise software.

We use TypeScript for our frontend (Angular 5), I find it better than plain JS but the language has some weird paradigms, NPM is driving me crazy. Our backoffice is in C#, and i will never trade the safety of C# for TypeScript.

>The Java ecosystem did not manage to produce a good frontend development solution, and that was its downfall.

Agree. (haven't done Java since ages, but the support of java EE in GlassFish/Jboss/Tomcat was a mess too)

At Work : TFS 2017 (On Premise), most of the communication is done at the coffee break.

At Home : Used to work with Gitlab CE on a Raspberry Pi, sometime Github. but most of the time a local git repository is enough (so nothing). We used Gitlab / Slack for a project with a group of friends, but moved to Telegram.

I bought a dish washer too, but i stopped using it. Don't get me wrong, I hate the doing the dishes by hand, but this is so brainless that my mind wander and I often find myself solving problem (work related) while doing it.
I still use Foobar2000 on Windows (cmus on Linux), but i wonder why everyone want a Custom UI (Skins) in media player, Is it an old WinAmp feature everyone is nostalgic for ?
My longest and latest job interview lasted 3 hours but we talked about the goals and the visions of the company (that part doesn't bother me), the technical part (code with a pen + questions) lasted about 15 mins. But to set a threshold, generally i ask if the test requires more than 1 hour, if yes, I decline politely.
> Even a short phone screen where I just ask someone to code a simple question takes 20-30 minutes of my time (plus however much time I need to get back in the zone), so HackerRank is appealing if only to weed out the very worst candidates.

But you took 20-30 Minutes of their time too, the only difference is that you get a compensation at the end of theses 20-30 min, they don't. If someone told me, "OK , i m gonna waste 3 hours of your time in exchange of a mere promise of a job", i will simply decline the job.I work 9hr/day , I have better things to do with my free time...

Re:Ask HN: Learning new programming languages in 2018 on Tuesday February 20, 2018 @07:04AM (#16419713)
I suggest that you pick a project first (that you love, that could help a friend or an association), then pick the right (new ?) language that does the job. I tried too many time to learn a new language without a project and ended dropping it,(I lost interest doing stuff that doesn't matters like basic algorithmic, exercises that i already knew).
This looks promising, i will look forward to the windows version, but the MacOSX as a first supported platform seems a bit odd, I used to think most DBA worked under Windows/Linux.
a .plan file for my todo list, and some Markdown files synced on github.
Re:How I Shipped Six Side Projects in 2017 on Monday January 15, 2018 @06:59AM (#16149981)
I'm in the same boat, and I have made the mistake of writing my own engine, you get no quick satisfaction versus the time you spent, it requires a lot of background knowledge, and some functionality needs too much work to be a Hobby (and the fact that coding at home is not fun when you spent 9 hours coding at work)
Re:Other ways to read Hacker News on Friday September 22, 2017 @10:15AM (#15312335)
The best way to read HN for me is no browser, 2 mails, one in the morning, one in the afternoon I use a custom version of this python script. (since I have a big tendency to procrastinate)
