Omnius··on A Critique of “Clean Architecture” by Robert C. Martin
Can you elaborate what you mean by this. What would an example of the bad practice look like verse if it had been done correctly?

If i understand you basically any time a developer uses an orm he would be mixing the DB interactions with business logic but i want to be sure what you mean.

Thanks!

Omnius··on 73% of developers who don't use AI plan to learn how in 2018
It would be but if 90% of you are coding is website frontends or CRUD like back ends then your skill set is fairly limited and you wouldn't be thinking about learning AI.
Omnius··on Why does man print “gimme gimme gimme” at 00:30?
Year's ago i was coding a warehouse management system and in this edge case, that required a moon full and blood sacrifice to even have it occur i stuck some debug code/message that was only ever meant for me to try and figure out how it was happening.

5 years later i get a call. "We have a weird error message it says ... How did i even get here! This error is bad and you should feel bad."

Omnius··on Charles Manson dies at age 83
I used to be pro death penalty but now they just need to sit and rot. With the caveat that now backwards legislation can ever get them out.
Omnius··on XFS for Linux 4.15 Brings “Great Scads of New Stuff”
Can someone give me an "explain like i'm five" high level view of why i would want to use XFS over Ext4 or the pros and cons between the two?
Omnius··on Hexen 2.0
Same i was super excited for a modern take on Hexen.
Omnius··on Dell’s gamble on Linux laptops has paid off
YMMV - I have the Dell Precision 7510 and i have installed linux and then back to windows 10 about 20 times because i WANT linux to workout but it ends up being to much work to get everything working. This is including the latest ubuntu release. Each attempt i try a different distro. I recently tried again and throw manjaro gnome on the machine and everything just worked.

Like zero effort on my part and its awesome.

Omnius··on Teenage schoolgirl 'electrocuted after rolling on to iPhone cable in her sleep'
WOW what the hell is wrong with that site it's cancer. Then i remember i am trying out the new firefox and don't have an ad blocker installed.

Scrolling videos, entire half screen ads between or in the middle of paragraphs of text.

Is this the internet norm now and ad block has just been hiding it from me?

Omnius··on Budweiser's ex-marketing chief: Weed is the new craft beer
I am not in a legal state and it seems only the most potent stuff flows out of legal states to us.
Omnius··on Budweiser's ex-marketing chief: Weed is the new craft beer
You have to get stoner culture separated from weed the product. I like cannabis occasionally i do not like being stoned and non-functioning all day.

Forever now its the strongest weed is the best and to your point its just juvenile.

Let me chill out to a cool movie or some friends outside on the porch i don't want to be drooling in my lap.

Omnius··on A Beginner´s Guide to Getting Things Done
GTD is bottom up. You have to collect everything you have already committed to and know your commitments and actions. Then you keep moving up the idea is to get to a place where your goals and life choices are driving all the decisions on what you commit to in the future.

If you implemented GTD you only captured and identified what you were already agreeing to do.

This is where the 50K foot view stuff comes in.

http://gettingthingsdone.com/2011/01/the-6-horizons-of-focus...

BTW i don't follow GTD strictly any more because it lacks a proper way to manage projects in my mind BUT it was designed around committing to the things you have to and the things that align with you.

Omnius··on Alcohol and tobacco kill far more people than opioids
We should make them illigal like illegal drugs that fixed everything.
Omnius··on One of the Biggest Bitcoin Exchanges Just Added 100,000 Users in a Single Day
I am all for bitcoin but you think about it as it is right now. People turn their cash into ether then extract more cash then they put in later only because a bunch of other people are doing it too. This has to pop and when it does i buying a shit ton of it for the next rally.

--edit extra should have been extract.

Omnius··on One of the Biggest Bitcoin Exchanges Just Added 100,000 Users in a Single Day
Yeah but your a small minority compared to the people using it as a means to speculate and trade. For the vast majority of buyers its pruelly investment into something they will never use beyond trading it back into cash.
Omnius··on Facebook Shouldn’t Be Allowed to Buy Tbh
You say that like it's a bad thing.

I couldn't read the article because of the ad with the guys tongue.
Omnius··on The most essential list of resources for Front-End beginners
It just indicates that its English with the proper spelling of words. Color, Grey, Coffee (tea <-- doesn't even look like the correct word).
Omnius··on The Depression Thing
Honest question, you attribute all of that to simply removing gluten for your diet?

edit: typo's

Omnius··on The Depression Thing
Thank you for the links. As to laziness on searching for gluten sensitivity" i wasn't the one making the claim that it cures depression.

Have an upvote anyways for your efforts.

Omnius··on The Depression Thing
1 hour hold account 1 hour old comment. I am not trying to be negative but i have seen no science to state that cutting gluten is going to do anything at all for anyone unless they have Celiac disease.

You want to back that up with study or something? Its just WOO if i am wrong i will be happy to eat some crow.

Further more the comment near this one about some imaginary threshold of MEME count gives something legitimacy. REALLY?

WHERE AM I!!

Science doesn't work the way you think it works.
Omnius··on How Science Makes “Rick and Morty” Great
If we had to label him he would definitely be a hedonist.
Omnius··on Windows Subsystem for Linux is out of beta
As a web developer why would this be useful to me. I know Linux and run it for years and now at this job i am on windows. My stack is usually python flask, postgres, vuejs/react, ...

All of these things run natively on windows is there another advantage to moving to the WSL?

I know there are advantages but specifically for my tool chain is there something i am missing?

TIA

Omnius··on Ask HN: What language/framework do you plan to use in your next project?
Couldn't agree more.
Omnius··on Ask HN: What language/framework do you plan to use in your next project?
Not OP but django is huge and the dependency chain is crazy for me its just way more than i need and doesn't solve a problem that i can already solve with more light weight frameworks.

I have know django developers who were great in django but never got their heads around python beyond the framework.

Maybe things have changed since the last time i poked at it.

Omnius··on Ask HN: What language/framework do you plan to use in your next project?
Web - Flask / Postgresql / Vuejs (i can't stand complicated js build chains when 99% of the work i do is sever rendered with only small parts needs js).

Standard Small Business apps - python / pyside

Automations and sysadmin - python

Fun/Learning - everything. I am constantly playing with java, c#, go, whatever made me feel tingly most recently but i rarely move from learning/fun to using it in production as the above stacks just work and i am very proficient in them. Something to be said about getting a problem solved fast and easy.

Omnius··on Ask HN: What language/framework do you plan to use in your next project?
This is exactly how i feel about flask and prior to flask turbogears. Stick with what you know until it doesn't solve the problems in satisfactory way.
Omnius··on First Human Embryos Edited in U.S
This would imply that you had to choose a specialization when the "designed" human could just be best suited for all of those things. Physical and mental perfection.
Omnius··on Why Brilliant Girls Tend to Favor Non-STEM Careers
I know you hear these crazy stories about these tech companies and they are so so so far outside anything i have ever experience at place of business and i am 41. Granted i am a guy but these things just don't happen where i worked when things even get mildly outside the box HR steps in and people fix their behavior or they terminated depending on the offense.
