wow this is hitting hacker news front page ? if we can change the hosts file - I want to propose you can have any domain name for local services.

I agree and feel likewise the author's comments on the above about memorization, but I realized - A higher framework

You want to be smart to gather attention, you need to be kind to sustain attention and transform it into meaningful relationships !

RIP - He was a role model to upcoming social engineering folks,
I have to agree to this as I feel likewise.

VCs and investors are perceiving they would want to copy and layoff during this season and try to bring people back to the office.

They are considering a company as healthier if they can layoff extra fat from COVID season.

Looking forward to the code and the model,
I don't know why but I do feel there is a gap here to empower backend developers to take over the full stack. ( I am one of the developers looking out for a good maintained, component rich, completely supported JVM java based FE framework )

One of my reasons not to pick Vaadin was that it was backed by a company rather than a open source community. ( this seems better now in terms of support )

I do see other JVM languages like Kotlin seeing some success here.

Did you guys see dart and flutter ? I am pretty sure Java can do a comeback in terms of compiling to JS and taking the power from react/typescript guys !

Ask HN: Best Front end generation framework for Backend Developers?

Hi Everyone,I am a pure backend developer who has spent time with languages like Java/C/C#/Node/Python. In the recent times where all frontend is being created using React/Typescript - Do you still believe backend languages are fit to create best frontend websites, themes, dashboards and panels ?If so, do they have established component frameworks that can be used from Day 1 ?If so which...

I think you should check out Nette, if you cherish and love codeigniter, Nette is even way too simpler and gets things done.

https://nette.org/en/

yes, i do love their forms. It supports bootstrap and is way too simple to just get things done.
PHP - I found new love for

1) Nette https://nette.org/en/

2) Phalcon https://phalcon.io/en-us

If you agree, we should talk :)

Google docs is way better seemingly for now,

does hetzner have servers in US ? if not - if your app ok to be hosted in the EU ?
Re:Ask HN: Which VM orchestrator do you use? on Saturday January 29, 2022 @02:16PM (#30129444)
thanks for the apt response aligning with the lingo, yes - nomad usually orchestrates containers. ( and not vms was my belief too, i thought it can replace kubernetes )
Re:Ask HN: Which VM orchestrator do you use? on Saturday January 29, 2022 @02:15PM (#30129421)
hi queue29, what are the minimum production requirements for nomad ? what is the cheapest machine i could use from digitalocean for a production task ?
Re:Ask HN: Which VM orchestrator do you use? on Saturday January 29, 2022 @02:13PM (#30129406)
thank you for sharing this - let me try from my end. My comment and denial towards using nomad was based on their hardware requirements - https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/install/production/requirem...

For raspberry pis - I would go with the following, https://k0sproject.io https://k3s.io

Re:Ask HN: Which VM orchestrator do you use? on Saturday January 29, 2022 @01:43PM (#30129064)
I am looking into something likewise, I liked caprover from this list, https://github.com/guettli/open-source-paas

I feel nomad is a bit resource intensive for my use case,

Re:Leetcode has taught me that I'm a bad engineer on Wednesday January 05, 2022 @08:44AM (#29808762)
I am pretty sure Leetcode would not produce engineers like Fabrice bellard - https://bellard.org

Pros - I believe memorizing does help - If you do understand how things work - memorizing does make you fast - Leetcode did help me understand and appreciate pithy code - when I browse other's solutions - Leetcode did help me get inspired to learn new coding techniques - Leetcode did make me a better engineer who is quick to implement solutions which are already implemented - Leetcode did help me to learn libraries, functions, apis which i previously did not learn - Leetcode does bring needed positive peer pressure - sometimes helpful to get up and running and keep running

Cons - I believe it makes you run the rat race, you end up in another mill - running for someone else. - It doesn't foster creativity for the joy of programming - but rather it is motivated to clear interviews ( I wouldn't judge my skills based on leetcode alone | the gym is useful but it doesn't define me ) - I always adore super programmers like Fabrice Bellard - In programming, If I would want my skills to parallel someone, if not go beyond - it would be him. I am sure Leetcode wouldn't produce people like him. ( where would you have the time to dream and create if you use all the free time you have to leetcode ? )

even after getting so many apps, the old school ways are still awesome - mine are paper, - cards, - text file using vscode
I think yes, web scraping can give a viable product. Now with the ability to scrape react/js pages and availability of 24GB cloud free tier machines and transformer models - i think atleast for the next 5 years, should be possible !
Yeah as a developer/programmer - I always have this feeling that I should go into all native code like using c++, d, f, rust, crystal, nim, v, zig ( this is my choice as of now ) - just to get that last drop of hardware juice. I was also looking into luajit as it can have easy ffi and near native performance.

I still think Java has a lot of value to bring or to learn and use for any programmer.

The ecosystem of libraries, software, tooling, cross platform nature and with the advent of GraalVM - Java is still very alive and capable !

As for JVM guys - Kotlin seems be an easy migration.

BTW - what do you think about dart ?

yes i agree - its comparatively easy to create software that is optimal as long as it runs in a single machine.

The distributed systems and related constraints and guarantees is what takes the resources !

( I would assume he would use a system based on raft to offer the above, or using something like Infinispan, helix or hazelcast kinda )

I am staunch supporter of software which runs on minimal hardware or resources. Seems like an interesting project, looking forward towards distributed features !
