Just use rust

You should always use the native file picker and not shipping your own. That’s a good thing.
Nah, it’s ok for browsing the internet and for „slow“ games but for anything else it sucks
Re:Tilt: dev environment as code on Saturday April 26, 2025 @05:42PM (#43807456)
How does Tilt compare to “skaffold dev“? We use skaffold exactly for that purpose. To develop within a the cluster.
Re:Ask HN: What do you use to backup your VMs? on Saturday September 28, 2024 @06:55AM (#41679401)
duplicacy :)

cd <whatever root you want to be backup)

duplicacy init -e <storage-name> <storage-url>

# set password for storage if neccessary

duplicacy set -key password -value <storage-password>

# edit .duplicacy/filters to ignore/add files to backup

vim .duplicacy/filter

# check which files will be backed up

duplicacy -d -log backup --enum-only

# run your first backup

duplicacy backup -stats

# add the following command to your crontab

duplicacy -log backup -stats

Yeah TV is not something everyone wants to play around with. Not even nerds. Especially if you have a partner which just want to watch tv. You just want to relax and watch tv without any issues.
Just never connect them to the internet. I just use them as a display for my apple tv.
I got 2 projects through my personal website. I can tell that because the email on my website is unique and not mentioned anywhere else. patwoz.dev :)

My vaultwarden server is behind a vpn, so I just don't need any security measurements at all :)
Re:It's not just you, Next.js is getting harder to use on Saturday June 29, 2024 @09:36AM (#40830409)
Just use remix. It’s so much easier and less painful.
Re:Why Swift's type checker is so slow on Saturday June 22, 2024 @07:03AM (#40758057)
I started using swift after the last wwdc and really fell in love with the language. It's really elegant and powerful at the same time.

I just tried the compiler flags, but the slowest expression is only 3 ms in my 1014loc project. Still very helpful to see where my slowest expressions are. I think I will set the threshold to 1ms and avoid slow expressions at all.

My first split keyboard, where I could also easily change the angle. That was an ergonomic game changer for me. I can really recommend a split keyboard to anyone. In my case, it's a Dygma keyboard. I use vim as my primary editor and I've never been able to type so fast and for so long without interruption
I installed these apps on my mother's smartphone (Motorola) after the existing apps became unusable because they slowed down or displayed large banner ads.

Thank you for these great apps. I just donated to you :)

Re:Ask HN: German company didn't pay me for two months on Monday September 04, 2023 @12:10PM (#37381830)
I had the same problem long time ago and I contacted a lawyer. He suggested that I write a letter in which I give the company 2 weeks to transfer the money with the threat of calling a lawyer if it is not transferred. And only then get an lawyer. The company transferred the money and the problem was solved in my case.
This looks awesome! Keep sharing. I think many newbies are looking exactly for something like that including me to get startet with AI :)

Yes, It's much faster. Not just in rush hours. But apart from that I like to pay for products that make me more productive :)

Uh sorry. Yes, I meant mailbox.org
Re:Ask HN: Do You Host Your Own Email? on Saturday December 24, 2022 @11:40AM (#34118444)
Did it for 5 years with mailinabox hosted on a cheap 3€/month vps on OVH with a custom .de domain. But I had severals issues in this time e.g. with mails coming from Office 365 Mails. So I switched 3 months ago to mailinabox.org along with my custom domain. Also paying just 3€/month.
Hey, I just started my Freelance career last September. I have the exact same years of experience and also located in Germany. You should take a look at Freelance.de and freelancermap.de. I'm getting 2-5 projects requests each day. I just finished my first project successfully and will start my second project next week. As a web developer I can earn 70-100€/h. That’s 2.5x more than I got as a full time employee. You should have at least 2 months of earnings as a backup due the payment deadlines. The only thing I regret is that I didn't start much sooner :)

The biggest complain for me about nextjs is the testing part. Did you ever tried to create a Monorepo which includes nextjs and want to run integration tests like any other react app with react-testing-library? Good luck. The integrated routing solution makes it really hard. There is a Community solution to named „next-page-tester“, but nothing official. That’s much better with gatsby and it’s built-in usage of reach-router. I hope it’s the same with remix.
Re:Tricks I wish I knew when I learned TypeScript on Tuesday October 12, 2021 @03:42PM (#28844161)
Yes, of course. But that’s the case for all new languages. You need to learn it. After some time you will be much faster in programming with a typed language as in a untyped.
Can someone explain the difference of redux to elm? I don’t see a difference on the first look. I‘m a React/Redux Developer.
I'm using "Genius Scan". Seems it has the same functionality but costs only 7,99€ once.
Whimsical
Re:Comparing Svelte and React on Thursday March 25, 2021 @03:27AM (#26577342)
You can do that, but you don't have to.

See my example here at line 26: https://codesandbox.io/s/clever-neumann-89tnx?file=/src/App....

Typescript will inherit the type automatically.
