Re:OpenBSD: Why and How (2016) on Wednesday November 13, 2019 @07:07AM (#21523164)
I wouldn't even agree that it's not for beginners. The spirit behind openbsd and it's wonderful man pages makes it simply one of the best platform to learn about anything I'd like to do on a computer, it's correct and consistant. Be it sys admin or other. My main problem is that docker is not easily available on it : /

In a sense you are building an algorithm but with different means from the usual ones. It is built trough compilation of a large amount of data using the well known machine learning algorithms. Tbh and especially in this case these are vocabulary terminations we should not but stuck on.
That's what I call success ;

Thanks a lot

"superior" us what you call forced Prime subscription and tonight's server over-pricing ? Or is it when a company obviously in position or power is still asking for monetary help ?

I'm not sure I agree with your définition of superior.

Re:Ask HN: Did your AWS bill literally double from last night? on Monday September 23, 2019 @02:53AM (#21046516)
This is absolutly not related, but on a funny note, I got subribed to prime forcefully last month.

I'm highly suspicious toward Amazon behaviour now. This kind or news only flurish the idea that Amazon has taken it's first steps toward being a total a company.

Re:JavaScript Is the CO2 of the Web [audio] on Saturday June 15, 2019 @07:31AM (#20189498)
Google recently updated their crawlers to understand "full Javascript websites" ; I don't like the term spa as one could build one with pure css and html and still have a single page.

Now onto the js frameworks, it depends on which one is used. One could build a website watching web.dev and use a budget to make sure it's app is lightweight. There are numerous tools to make sure an app is properly made. But tbh, I like my js framework because the community is so great, I know the framework is good even tough there are arguments there and there.

I guess it all depends on the tool you choose and how you build your end product. Now having a website that loads in 30s is a joke I haven't experienced in the modern web, and my js framework actually provides a powerful caching system that makes the website available even tough I could bring down my dns. To this point I presume we are just in a odd point in web evolution where we have discovered a new paradigm and rushed into it's usage without maturity.

These things will change but I think it is important to know that some JS front framework are not incompatible with a lightweight web.

Woaw, nice subject ! Always wanted to digg into signals and antenas, but not being from electrical background it was always kind of difficult to follow along. Can't wait to hear from your cast ^_^
Re:How do I notify users that my PWA is installable? on Wednesday June 05, 2019 @03:21AM (#20102187)
I build PWAs,

I can install them on android, os x, windows, haven't tested I OS.

It requires a manifest file just like any (android at least) app.

I'm very happy they have allowed to do this, fews weeks ago I believe we couldn't trigger such things.

My current concern is about how the manifest file can be updated without uninstalling the pwa and then reinstalling it.

Also, how one switches the app theme according to dark & light mode?

Love to see PWAs grow!

I bet there are some subtleties in other countries as well !
I'd note that under GDPR, we'd be "free" to do anything we want with data belonging to dead people.

(source : I recall that from memory from reading the GDPR document, there are some website that will source the same intel)

HOWEVER, France and Germany Data Protections law, individuals can give to data controllers general or specific indications about the retention, erasure, and communication of their personal data after their decease.

Re:What are the differences between OpenBSD and Linux? on Tuesday May 28, 2019 @09:29AM (#20029778)
It would be nice to add that OpenBSD has no support of Docker, but geez, if it had I'd be probably using it 98% of my time
Re:Why I'm still using jQuery on Monday May 27, 2019 @02:09PM (#20024105)
Why stop now when we got so much out of it? Maybe we will have even better solutions coming now that we have learnt so much.

It's like "Please stop enhancing stuff it's good enough" - I like to enhance stuff, yeah it has costs but you can master them. That's definitely not the end of it. I hope we will do better. Maybe your "problems" will be resolved as well!

Re:Netflix is not the future of TV on Wednesday May 22, 2019 @05:28AM (#19979393)
I don't necessarily disagree with the statement that Netflix is not the new TV. However I clearly see them in a position alike to a big TV channel. Disney would just be another player as it's content would simply be different.

Still, I hope Netflix keeps Disney off their ground as I would prefer them competing against one another rather than seeing it replaced or bought up.

Netflix has been doing grandiose work be it in their shows or even their open-source work.

Hi m8,

Long story short : if you are on the mission, you will find a way to get these 50$ every month until you find out a way to get those from a client.

How are you implementing REST using Faclon if I might ask ? fully custom ? or is there anything like DRF hanging around ?
Re:Material Design Guidelines for Dark Mode on Wednesday May 15, 2019 @08:50AM (#19918852)
Sorry but being clear here only provides an answer to who might be right to an internet argument. Nobody is really right, I understood what he meant and I might not agree with all of it but still take valueable feedback. You could do as well by avoiding the troll discussion. It's not because someone is literally crying in pain because of his team's cursy bad work that you got to end his opinion on the least interesting part.. It's only an opinion.
Re:Material Design Guidelines for Dark Mode on Wednesday May 15, 2019 @05:28AM (#19917704)
Full stack dev : he didn't say they are inferior but that in his point of views most designers don't understand their design should conceived as a tool. Now that's discussable as it changes from project to project. A promotional website shouldn't be forcefully seen as a tool but cool be seen as a augmented poster. Now I understand his point of view when he says that designer use too much icons language, without any text Intel on it. I'd add to it that web.dev asks to use and display label on every input. Even tough they might have placeholders.

And no HN people are nice, it's just a matter of understanding the subtilities we might all disagree on.

Ps : a bas php.

Re:What would a EvE online Internet look like? on Wednesday February 06, 2019 @10:05AM (#19095586)
Hi,

Eve is really hard to play alone, it's mesmerizing and it's a great experience to try.

But once you get addicted to some feeling it creates, I urge to join a corporation with well experienced and active people which will be able to let you earn more in a shorter and more social way.

My Eve reality is that I mostly tchat on Discord with my friends while killing some stuff to buy ships / licence / whatever and watch to fight for other people.

There are plenty of activity to do and it's a very unique and awesome piece of experience I never was able to really leave for good.

Re:Instead of Learn to Code, Learn to Hack Sh** Together on Sunday February 03, 2019 @12:54PM (#19071056)
Then it's all throw away because noting makes sense, nobody understood what he has been doing, and a proper company that would have to host, manage and maintain the said software would simply ask to re-build the said soft from scratch because it would be cheaper.

These people would have better time building up sweet and clean prototypes ; at least they would have a professional competency at the end.

Because yes, hacking shit together is not a job. Those little hackers that existed 10 years ago all went on to college to learn architecture and what not and are now recruited either for data job, management, or devops / security.

I get the point, I passed trough this "phase" ; but let me be clear : everybody told me it was pure bullshit and shitty software.

Iterate on architecture rather than feature. At some point you gotta be lucid about what you are doing, and hacking sh*t together doesn't help you master the service you are going to expose.

ps : Hacking stuff together is still a lot of fun for newbs or "fun" prototype ; nothing professional or client worthy can get out of this kind of mess.

Re:Things nobody told me about being a software engineer on Wednesday November 14, 2018 @03:15AM (#18448360)
There is something in the middle actually. Just write test for the hard tasks or the algos that you implemented your self. (Some stuff that I don't undertand end up much easier to write once I've created some tests to help me iterate faster)

Testing basic class re-use (I'm thinking about serializers, or ViewSets like in django) doesn't make much sense to me, and in fact was 100% automatised.

Those "simple" test end-up being useful when you start hitting your app with the hammer to change a lot of stuff in it. I havn't had any use for these otherwhise.
