Re:Git CLI tool for intelligently creating branch names
on Friday October 31, 2025 @10:56AM (#45772653)
I think people worry too much about branch names. Feature branches are usually ephemeral. Prefix your branch with your personal identifier so I know who is primary on it and worry more about the commit message which will live on indefinitely.
Re:Event Sourcing, CQRS and Micro Services: Real FinTech Example

The argument I've always heard for this was issues with code, not the event. If for a period of time you have a bug in your code, with event sourcing, you can fix the bug and replay all the events to correct current projections of state.

I've found referring to them as implicit vs explicit contracts conveys the idea and is more well received than proclaiming someone's ignorance.

You aren't missing anything. It's just marketing so GitHub/Gitlab stay in the main conversation when DevOps comes up.

DuckDB targets analytical workloads. Your question sounds like your workload is transactional to me, so I'd recommend sticking with SQLite.

Re:Using extra Firefox profiles to make my life better
on Friday October 20, 2023 @07:10AM (#37954618)
You are basically saying "Don't use any native apps, ever". With chrome profiles, links are just opened in whatever profile window was last active (this is on Mac OS, but I think others are the same). It's the one thing keeping me with chrome (brave).

Re:Tell HN: Firefox Is an awesome browser right now
on Friday February 03, 2023 @05:38PM (#34648798)
My problem is opening links from apps. Sometimes I want a link in Slack (or other desktop apps) to open in my personal profile and sometimes I want it to use my work profile. With Brave/Chrome, the link will open in whatever profile window is active. I can't find a way to make this work with Firefox.

Re:Duplicati: Free backup software to store encrypted backups online

Could you provide your reasoning for the switch? I've had good enough luck with duplicacy but I'm curious about it vs restic now that restic supports compression.
Re:Heroku alternatives with a free tier listed in a GitHub repo
on Sunday October 23, 2022 @05:03PM (#33310236)
Heroku was the original gold standard for git based app deploys, but never for scheduling tasks. Here's a link to the documentation of Heroku's supposed "cron alternative" : https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/scheduler
It only supports hourly, daily, or every 10 minutes and it isn't even guaranteed to run. I would see it skip jobs more often than I expected, maybe 1 in 20 at times.
Supporting actual cron is way better than anything Heroku offered.

I believe you may be mixing the concept of currying with partial application.

Sounds like your docker was pulling latest instead of a versioned tag. I'd update that and be happy this only cost you a few hours.

Any chance to get review apps for GitLab and/or Bitbucket? I'd love to see that happen, but I don't believe it is high on your roadmap currently.
