codewithcheese··on The IKEA Effect – Why managers fall in love with their own ideas
What does "Spike rough prototypes" mean?

I presume this is an Americanism.

codewithcheese··on Passenger fined $2664 for landing in Australia with McDonald's items in his bag
> If the passenger had declared it, they probably would have avoided the fine entirely

They definitely would not have been fined. Declaring you have something is essentially saying "Look I have this, is it allowed?" if its not allowed they can safely destroy it.

Usually they wont give a fine like this unless there is very wilful attempt to lie and conceal the item, or this is not the first time.

Are you going to share your big idea?

codewithcheese··on Ultra-minimal JSON schemas with TypeScript inference
Swagger uses JSON Schema to describe the data formats.

https://swagger.io/docs/specification/data-models/keywords/

This is a easier write, easier to read, compatible with JSON Schema alternative. Spartan Schema could be used instead of JSON Schema to make the document easier for humans to work with.

codewithcheese··on Ask HN: Leaving Germany – where to find quality of life as experienced engineer?
This is over hyping Bali.

Yes you can get a place for $300-$600 a month but it won't be so easy to find anything more than a single room at that price, you may get a kitchen but it takes a bit more looking depending on the area. The kitchen will be outdoors, not like a western kitchen.

If you want a real "villa" with a living room then you should at least double that price, and it will be an outdoor living room, with bugs and heat. A villa with an indoor living room is quite rare.

Taxi's are cheap, 30 min taxi ride is more like $3, using an app, but if you use a local taxi then $10, and it will take 30 min just to go a few kms because the traffic is so bad.

The roads in Bali were not planned and many were just paths between rice fields that have been turned into a narrow two lane road. In many cases a car will have to pull over just to let through passing car past.

The air quality is poor by western standards https://www.iqair.com/au/indonesia/bali

The beaches and not good, especially around Canggu, with black stand and trash and dog shit. The beaches down south are much better but that part of Bali is very over developed.

codewithcheese··on Ubuntu Core 22 is now available – optimised for IoT and embedded devices
First 10 devices on balena are free, its used by many thousands of hobbyists.

For example balenaSound is very popular, for multi-room audio with rapsberry pi's https://sound.balenalabs.io/

There is also balenaHub, which hosts many community projects and introduces the concept of "open fleets", bring your device and join the fleet, instead of managing it yourself https://hub.balena.io/fleets

Disclosure: I am an engineer at balena.

codewithcheese··on What Is BalenaHub?
disclosure I work for balena as an engineer.

There are many ways to evaluate if a company is trust worthy, that's up to you to judge, but ill provide some background info.

balena is a venture backed company, the team is about 100 people and we have some notable investors and advisors see https://www.balena.io/team

balena's revenue generating product is balenaCloud, which is a sass cloud offering for companies to manage their IoT devices. https://www.balena.io/cloud

If you don't want to use the sass offering we also have an open core version openBalena, anything you can run on balenaCloud you can run on your own machines using openBalena, but you will not have features like the dashboard or VPN. https://github.com/balena-io/open-balena

codewithcheese··on The worst part of working from home is now haunting reopened offices
Many companies already do location based salaries for remote workers, meaning you will be paid less if you live in Bali than San Francisco. Essentially, the company is performing location arbitrage rather than the employee.

Next companies create more attractive work places in cheaper areas and lures employees there.

codewithcheese··on The Lonely Work of Moderating Hacker News (2019)
I think it's quite different now, the gap between HN and lobste.rs content is growing wider and wider, lobste.rs to me represents more closely what "old" HN was like

You have been treated unethically in the past, now you have zero qualms acting unethically? That's not cool, its very easy NOT to ghost people it basically costs you nothing, you might want to seek some therapy.

Good point, i'll keep that in mind. It seems then, this feature is best for throwaway type accounts, where one could just create another new accoint if they want to migrate.

codewithcheese··on DigitalOcean has the worst reviews I've ever seen
Some providers feature in scammer tutorials much more than others; for being cheap, offering free credit, easy to use, powerful and susceptible to multiple accounts per credit card or supporting unusual payment providers that scammers like.

DO ticks many of those boxes or did in the past.

codewithcheese··on Benefits of Not Using an IDE
Yes this. Distributed tracing is making these concepts more popular but in many cases it requires manual instrumentation of every function call and state one wants to track. I would love to see more auto-instrumentation but seems this should be implemented at the interpreter or compiler level.
codewithcheese··on Benefits of Not Using an IDE
I'm surprised how many of my colleagues don't use the debugging features of their IDE. Being able to step through code line by line and see all the variables states at any time and evaluate arbitrary expressions given those states seems far superior to print/console based guesstimation. However, somehow my colleagues still do great work!
