agnivade··on Zero downtime migrations at petabyte scale (2024)
This idea sounds nice, but there's a high maintenance cost to this.

- How will you maintain multiple deployments across multiple regions in the world? Backups, security patches will start to take a toll. - How granular is the right split? Not every country has a cloud provider. Then you need to start thinking about regions and office timings and then it starts to get all blurry.

Curious to know what other alternatives have you found better.
agnivade··on Florida man eats diet of butter, cheese, beef; cholesterol oozes from his body
> At the end of the day, it's all about calories.

No it's not. Calories is just a unit of energy. And there are good energy sources, and bad ones as well. It's not just one single factor that rules everything. Quality and variety of food matters a lot.

agnivade··on A video tour of the Standard Model (2021)
> All well and good, and if you had no previous exposure to the standard model, you'd learn a lot.

That is exactly what this video is about. If you want something to be more in-depth, this video is not going to help you. But that's okay.

agnivade··on A video tour of the Standard Model (2021)
As clearly stated in the video, you need to have prerequisite knowledge of quantum physics and special relativity. The quanta video can be understood by someone out of high school. Different audiences. Different goals. Just because something is all charts and animations, doesn't mean that it's bad.

You make it sound so simple. What if your kid simply doesn't listen? They are smart, so they know that if they keep nagging, they will eventually get what they want.

> Patch out the phone-home Segment spyware and selfhost a Mattermost,

Just to clarify, by patching out, all you need is to disable a config setting: https://docs.mattermost.com/manage/telemetry.html. It's not like you have to modify the code or anything more intrusive.

agnivade··on Companies hiring remote software engineers anywhere in the world
Not OP, but I also work in a remote company. Our company uses deel.com. You only need to set up a corporate entity when the number of employees exceed a certain limit IIRC. When that happens, yes it's a bit of a hassle.
agnivade··on Ask HN: What is your default font for coding and terminal?
Hack (https://sourcefoundry.org/hack/) in editor, and Monospace Regular in terminal.
agnivade··on Mattermost – open-source platform for secure collaboration
> web UI websocket is going to behave badly, requiring frequent refreshes to not miss any messages, or it still doesn't scroll to bottom sometimes on new messages, this has been the case since v.4.x and we're now on v.7;

That shouldn't be the case with 7.0. We recently released a feature called "reliable websockets" that makes a connection reliable across websocket disconnects. If you have any repro steps, please feel free to create an issue and we will take a look.

> what I think is different from Slack is that threaded responses are shown in the main channel as well, and if there are many threads it is the same mess as if there were no threads at all :D

With 7.0, our Collapsed Reply Threads feature is now in GA: https://mattermost.com/blog/collapsed-reply-threads-generall.... Feel free to enable it to get a better threading experience.

agnivade··on Mattermost – open-source platform for secure collaboration
Search in SQL databases is a tough beast to get it right. And given that we support MySQL and Postgres both, it gets even harder to support quirks of both of them.

In enterprise editions, the only addition is Elasticsearch. But in our open-source version, we do have support for https://github.com/blevesearch/bleve. Although, it's in beta, we have a lot of customers using it.

I am wondering if you have tried using it and didn't like it?

Reminder that there is a whole page which mentions _exactly_ what items are tracked and how to disable the feature: https://docs.mattermost.com/manage/telemetry.html

Every config setting has an equivalent env var option.

You can either use an env var, or change the setting via system console, or directly change your config.json file - LogSettings.EnableDiagnostics = false.

>it never gained much traction among the regular Gmail users,

Do you have any metrics to support that? I haven't met a single person who disliked Inbox.

agnivade··on We Switched to Mattermost
You only need custom builds if you want to use your custom push notification server. Since push notifications are handled by GCM (Android) / APNS (IOS), for some customers, they fail compliance regulations.

If you just want to self-host mattermost, push notifications should work out of box.

agnivade··on Why Jira Sucks
Sprint planning takes 30 minutes for our team too. And exactly like OP, backlog grooming is done during 1-1s with leads.

I am sorry if you find it that much hard to believe.
