News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Interesting.

I have almost the same workflow with https://getdrafts.com/ where I only take short notes and I have custom action which sets the creation date+time of the note as its first line. But, having a separate entry for each line is the next level of this approach.

i know it might be too much to ask, but can you record one of your coding session and share it on youtube? like, one hour session using aider to implement some features for aider.
I believe interpreting statistics from those surveys in this way isn't fair. There are so many developers around the world but the pattern of value/money generation by them is not uniform; in other words, a small percentage of developers work for companies that pay the largest share of server bills and penetration rate of macOS devices among developers of top companies is probably higher than average. (I'm not implying that developers who work on non-macOS devices, make less value because your device doesn't have - nearly - anything to do with your impact. I'm just talking about a trend and possible misinterpretation of data)
Re:Prisma – ORM for Node.js and TypeScript on Wednesday April 21, 2021 @12:26PM (#26891776)
Exactly. ORMs, especially powerful and mature ones like DjangoORM or Active Record, can help with productivity and maintainability and for more complex use cases you have the chance to switch to raw SQL; However, it’s important for developers to know what’s happening under the hood and to know what will happen if they use a certain feature of an ORM. I can’t even count the number of times that when one of my coworkers and I tried to fix a performance issue, and after digging deep into queries and mechanics of the ORM, we’ve realized how ORM heed so much complexity from them and, how a certain data structure design and coding in a certain way can result in an inefficient data flow.
Re:Help users in Iran reconnect to Signal on Friday February 05, 2021 @09:10AM (#26036457)
Not the OP but, I can confirm that iMessage works perfectly in Iran; However, because of both economical situation (inflation and the higher price of iPhone comparing to average Android phones) and the fact that local companies cannot release their apps on the AppStore, only a small portion of people use iPhone or in this case iMessage.
Re:Craft – A fresh take on documents on Friday December 25, 2020 @06:23AM (#25535835)
Craft also supports easy bi-directional linking to blocks, which I assume Notion doesn’t support at this point.
Re:TimescaleDB 2.0 released, now distributed multi-node on Thursday October 29, 2020 @04:12PM (#24935180)
Yes. We’ve used Timescale with SQLAlchemy and overall everything works.
Re:YouTube-dl has received a DMCA takedown from RIAA on Saturday October 24, 2020 @11:27AM (#24879765)
I had the same thought so I checked the git history and it seems, if I’ve checked the right lines, they were added somewhere between 4-7 years ago.
Well, this sounds bad.

A few months ago GitHub banned access of Iranian developers (and devs who live in a few other countries) to private repositories and gists and now, with actions like this, even if it's by accident, they are threatening our chance of collaboration to public open-source repos because maintainers would be afraid that if they accept our contribution they may face consequences.

Re:Ask HN: How do you currently solve authentication? on Tuesday January 28, 2020 @08:28AM (#22169118)
Well, the URL is missing www so you see the bad certificate error; Although, I agree that they should have handled automatic redirection from non-www to www.

> I also think that a salaried engineer who thinks that a piece of code he or she (but almost always he) wrote is "his" or "hers" is totally wrong

This. If some developer get offended when there is some issue in their code or the way it got implemented either they are not mature enough or there is a cultural issue in the team.

Re:Ask HN: Do You Email Yourself? on Friday November 08, 2019 @06:15AM (#21481296)
I haven’t mailed myself in over 3 years. I mostly try to rely on Things for reminders and tasks.

You can even make your deployment easier by using a static site generator like Hugo.
Re:Ask HN: What software do you pay for personally? on Monday September 02, 2019 @07:12PM (#20862397)
- 1Password

- Ulysses

- iCloud storage

- BetterTouchTool (Single purchase but best software purchase of my life)

I’ve used 1Password for the last 3 years and it works like a charm.
I second that.
Maybe by replacing Electron based apps with native versions /s
Re:Ask HN: Why aren't you using a public cloud? on Sunday May 20, 2018 @02:50PM (#17114215)
At least for us there is a simple reason: We live in Iran and every major public cloud company would immediately blocks any Iranian account, without previous notice.
