10+ years experienced engineer with past experience in building web apps and REST APIs on the JVM. In my current role I'm working with some Ruby on Rails apps and Serverless apps with Ruby running on AWS Lambda, in addition to some DevOps responsibilities.

I'm open to both backend and DevOps roles (I recently read The DevOps Handbook and it was awesome). I'd be game to do fullstack as well, but I'm a little rusty on frontend outside of some light React work.

They just announced a bunch of additions to the stdlib (including I/O) at KotlinConf in order to better support multiplatform

Yeah this was a problem for 6 & 7, but I've run plenty of code in production on OpenJDK 8 without issue. I think Java 8 was the first version where OpenJDK was the reference implementation so that likely helped a great deal.

Heroku is part of Salesforce, doesn't seem like much risk of them going out of business.

This is an ultrabook so chances are the memory modules are soldered on.

You can actually install OpenSSH natively now: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administrati...

They have a premium subscription detailed here: https://hiyahelp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000872947-...

Should probably note that this is from April 2017

I love Boostnote too. It seems like they had a mobile app but the maintainer left a while ago https://github.com/BoostIO/boostnote-mobile

I've had good luck running OpenWRT on this TP-Link model: https://www.tp-link.com/us/products/details/cat-9_Archer-C26.... I believe there's only one hardware version so no gamble there.

Google Photos would be the most difficult thing for me to leave behind. Nothing to my knowledge even comes close in terms of functionality. A year or two ago I tried Microsoft's equivalent in OneDrive and it was absolutely abysmal, the web interface barely functioned with a few thousand photos.

Not to mention the search works so well, I don't know how I'd replace it for finding things. I would take an eternity to go back and tag all of my photos.

I was a little bummed to see this was not using Kotlin and TornadoFX, I've used them together a little and they're much more pleasant than using plain Java + JavaFX.

I've been using these for a while now and they seem to be pretty reliable so far.

Besides ripping owned physical media, I've also used Kodi to watch OTA broadcast TV that I've recorded via software from a HDHomerun tuner.

I'm using 10.13.1 and it did work for me. You have to first fail a login in one of these dialogs (did it with my current user and no password) before doing root with no password.

CottonBureau runs a bit more expensive, but the quality is top notch: https://cottonbureau.com/

Yeah I noticed that as well, looks like it's from a LAN party or something.

Does this not work standalone? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amazon.dee...

What about Chrome Remote Desktop?

I used Raphael in the past and am just starting to learn D3 now. D3 seems to make it a lot easier to take a data set and represent it visually. It has lots of very useful helpers for scaling axes and such (even when the units are time). I know I've only really scratched the surface so far, but those are things that stand out the most.

Raphael is still very capable, but it took me a lot more effort to create a graph than with D3. I think Raphael is better at general purpose drawing.

Bottom line: D3 is best if you're taking data and want to represent it visually in a chart/graph. Raphael can do general-purpose drawing without explicitly needing any data to back it.

I don't think he actually meant this was true. I think he was saying it just for that fact that it is true for many other people (at least that's what I gathered from the note in that section of the article).

Honestly I think it's mainly due to the fact that git and github have a greater mindshare than hg and bitbucket.

That said I think either choice is great, they are solid and mature implementations of the DVCS paradigm and are miles ahead of older systems like SVN. I use a mix of both personally, hg at work and git/github for personal projects.
