Re:Plane: Open-Source Alternative to Atlassian's Jira on Thursday June 01, 2023 @05:46AM (#36149116)
Performance is vastly improved in last few years. Until 2020, Jira Cloud was really slow.

Atlassian changed their strategic focus from on-premise to cloud, and they are making lots of improvements, including performance.

Creating small task lists seem to be the way to go.

Does anyone know what app the author is using to create nested tasks for 'lightweight sprint'?

Excellent article. I think `poetry` is future as it seems to take fresh approach to Python packaging hell.

However, I am currently still sticking to pipenv as it seems to be closer to pip/venv and lot easier to migrate to. I also found UX quite nice. However, I keep hitting into bugs from time to time.

Re:Most popular Python packages now support Python 3 on Saturday December 02, 2017 @03:43PM (#15833962)
Yup, grass is getting greener :)

On the side note, glad to know that my small effort (I operate that site) is useful for people I highly respect.

I was very surprised when I saw it on HN front page today.

Re:Most popular Python packages now support Python 3 on Saturday December 02, 2017 @03:21PM (#15833841)
In last few years, Python 3 has got momentum. Frankly, for me it feels great to follow this progress.
Re:A Berlin Borough Buying Out Private Landlords on Sunday September 10, 2017 @01:42PM (#15213287)
I am quite not sure how it would be expensive for existing residents even after sale to so called foreign investor. As far as I understand, in Germany, rents are fixed for existing residents and landlord can not evict them (few exception exists, probably won't work for investors).

That 10% increase rule is only for new tenants.

Re:The slow demise of Wikipedia Zero on the subcontinent on Wednesday April 19, 2017 @04:33PM (#14151489)
Also it's not that Nepal shut it down.

It's one of the telecom companies which was offering free access to Wikipedia and Twitter ended it citing low spending customers.

Re:Python Versions Used in Commercial Projects, 2016 Edition on Friday November 11, 2016 @03:27PM (#12934017)
well, you can install ansible outside local virtualenv. It's a single program like Firefox, so probably you won't need different versions and could be installed as such.

Well, have a look here http://py3readiness.org without having to figure where 9 of those come from ;)
In fact most of South Asian cities are in same dire state.

I was in Kathmandu in April and you can hardly breathe not because of smoke but mostly because of dust (as construction for road and water supply is going for a while.)

I lived in India and been to Mumbai many times. Man, the whole city stinks.

Re:Ask HN: Who is firing? on Thursday November 03, 2016 @05:02PM (#12867926)
> dealing with German bureaucracy

This is too much exaggeration. If you can find another job, dealing with bureaucracy is piece of cake. You just go to Foreign Registration Office and change company name.

Re:Ask HN: Who is firing? on Thursday November 03, 2016 @04:58PM (#12867894)
I just had to wonder what you meant by 'non-existent countries'.

According to this meaning here, these countries don't exist?

Not really for Berlin. It's more than average pay, see http://www.nuberlin.com/2016/01/average-salary-in-berlin/

Also note, 38K is for person with science/engineering background. Otherwise, lower limit for EU Bluecard is around 48K

Re:Vim for Humans on Monday October 17, 2016 @02:43PM (#12727937)
This is exactly what I feel too.

After watching Bret Victor's talk https://vimeo.com/67076984, I feel like Vim way of using computers is backward. I am probably wrong because I never got proficient with Vim. Using it only when I SSH to remote server.

Re:An Open Source, Self-Hosted Heroku on Thursday October 13, 2016 @04:13PM (#12703667)
Looks like this is great project.

We are using powerful dedicated server to host multiple sites/apps like the way shared hosting providers do. Maintenance and upgrade is so painful, I am trying to move to something else.

I looked into Docker but seems things are still not stable. Another approach I am looking into is KVM virtualization.

Aactually, all I want is something like Heroku (but self hosted or German providers cause our clients are German and that's important) where we can host each app on it's own container.

So far, this meets all the requirements.

Re:Paper Planes on Monday October 03, 2016 @06:08PM (#12631773)
It seems "Join on your phone at paperplanes.world" actually means 'Join on your phone with Chrome browser at paterplanes.world'

Firefox is my primary browser even on Android. It didn't work and I suspected and tried it on Chrome. It works there.

Re:Making Django CMS as easy to install as WordPress on Thursday August 04, 2016 @05:34AM (#12224402)
I really want Aldryn to succeed. I have tried to test it out, and my major issue is documentation and not so clear UI.

For example, it's not clear to me how can I clone project I created on Aldryn and work on local. It's been about 10 minutes I am clicking around, still can't figure it out. Do I have to use Mac app? Can I work on as usual Django project on command line and just do git push when ready? Even docs here isn't clear to me http://support.divio.com/hc/en-us/categories/200815715-Local...

Btw, that django cms demo with Aldryn boilerplate is kick ass.

Edit: After lots of clicking, I found how to install aldryn client.

pip install aldryn-client

If you understand German, this video is not fun at all.

I can't follow what's written in subtitle. I really tried hard, but no - my mind doesn't follow subtitle. What's the point of doing so with audible audio?
