The post says that that data is barebones whereas the tool can get much more.

Re:Ask HN: What is your spiritual practice? on Monday December 27, 2021 @10:50AM (#29703442)
Sudarshan kriya - essentially breathing exercises taught by the Art of Living (AoL). It's simple and has a good effect on keeping the mind stable. Further, I also practise meditation taught by the same AoL foundation. Just closing my eyes and being there and observing my breath and surroundings. I go tho the temple (I'm raised as a Jain) for the peaceful environment it offers.
Re:Changes to LastPass Free on Tuesday February 16, 2021 @11:46AM (#26155828)
I'm a bit concerned that Bitwarden might also follow a similar path later on, if we keep using the free version. Any thoughts on that?

Yeah I've also tried to understand this. Tried looking for blog posts on what VS Code is doing but couldn't find one. Can someone point out if there's any?

Electron is recent. What are good and widely used cross platform application frameworks other than electron?

I think that's because it's trying to connect to your phone since that's where the messages etc are stored.

One of the features I really like about VS Code is the source control, which is super simple and easy to use and understand. Especially the diff view and resolving of merge conflicts using UI. I find Intellij to be somewhat more complex in this regard.

How does this compare to non-software industries? Such as construction.

Totally agree! I'm in a similar position, albeit not 20 years, but 3-4 years. I have realized that I have to connect with creative side of myself and do things for the enjoyment of them.

What's your take on a side business? What kind of thing could it be? And would it be legal?

Congrats!

I had briefly worked and contributed to the SDC compiler. Wonder how that's doing.

Re:Moving from Azure to Google Cloud Platform on Monday June 25, 2018 @04:47PM (#17395665)
Can someone explain how exactly does MS acquiring GitHub forces GitLab to move out from Azure? Like is it some kind of fear that Microsoft will meddle with the data or something?
Hi. Sorry for the late reply.

Well the system had Postgres -> Debezium -> Kafka -> CustomApp -> Client. If data stopped flowing through the system, I would have to examine each component to figure the issue out. They'd mostly turn out to be Kubernetes network issues such as Kafka brokers not being able to talk to each other, or Debezium not being able to contact Kafka. This was too painful to run when all we wanted was notifications of changes on Postgres.

If you drop me a note with your email, I'll make sure to get in touch with you when our solution using Postgres LR exposed over WebSockets (and more) is out :)

Hi

I did use Debezium in a Kubernetes cluster to stream Postgres changes into Kafka and then through a custom application that can send them to clients via HTTP or WebSockets. But the entire system had multiple points of failure. So we then decided to write our own thing that connects to the LR slot and sends over WebSockets. Working on open sourcing that too!

Re:Another programming interview I blew on Monday January 30, 2017 @01:16AM (#13519065)
>> Gameable systems are won by people who focus on the game. They are not necessarily going to do well if the job requires something different >> The current interview process is a GAME.

Exactly what I've been thinking about recently.

Isn't this true for a variety of things? The education system judging on the outcome of exam scores, elections, making money, marketing etc.

I wonder whether all this can be really be 'fixed'.
