dshacker··on Faster CI with Selective Testing
Hah, funnily enough this is exactly what I was working on this year :)
dshacker··on Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?
My blog, tech and productivity! https://danielsada.tech/
dshacker··on Civic honesty around the globe (2019)
Amazing study, was really interesting to read. How do you get to do this studies? How does someone get into social science like this? How did you pay for all the tickets for all the cities?
dshacker··on Free Organ
What's the thing that breaks the most in organs?
dshacker··on 1,626 Books Were Banned Across America Last Year We Reviewed All of Them
This is really interesting, I really like that the dataset is embedded in the page. Is there a general place where banned books are reported?
dshacker··on Ask HN: Why the Linux Kernel doesn't have unit tests?
I recently took a class on linux kernel development, and this is indeed correct, you can always expect when developing for the linux kernel to get your bugs from external sources. If your code has a bug or breaks something, you get a nice email from them telling you what errors you have.
dshacker··on Programs that have saved Hacker News 100+ hours by automating repetitive tasks
I have tried ShareX, but I still feel like it is really easy to share a screenshot of something you are working on and share to the internet way too easily. How do you avoid those situations? Feels like having a loaded gun at all times.
dshacker··on Programs that have saved Hacker News 100+ hours by automating repetitive tasks
Agreed, but I'd argue that any good scripting language would do it.
dshacker··on Programs that have saved Hacker News 100+ hours by automating repetitive tasks
Agreed, there is a lot of power to Selenium or Chrome Headless, but it does require a bit more investment than your normal tool.

Thank you HN for being so valuable <3 It is truly a gold mine what I find in this website every day.
dshacker··on CSS Tips
Seems that Microsoft is sunsetting IE11 [1], I wonder if that would nudge the world towards less IE.

dshacker··on Initial preview of GUI app support for the Windows Subsystem for Linux
I think WSL2 has that, WSL1 used to be super slow disk wise, but I've seen near-native disk speeds on NVME drives on WSL2 (Specially useful for node_modules)
dshacker··on Kelly Criterion
Hey, this is really cool! What's the optimal strategy? Would love to learn more

dshacker··on How to sleep at night having a cloud service: common architecture do's
Updated, Thanks!
dshacker··on How to sleep at night having a cloud service: common architecture do's
Yeah, in reality I was weary about adding the links, these solutions are often created after a problem arose in the system. But I wanted to provide a few places to see what's the initial paths for a beginner to find out more. I can't count the times when I wasn't as knowledgeable approached a conversation about Chef and Puppet that didn't make sense to me, even after I read what Chef and Puppet did.

It could be, in the other side, that you really don't grasp the need for these technologies until you've had to manually implement one. Things like the UUIDs are basic to hook up to anything.

I can often relate this feeling with nutritional advice. "If you want to be more healthy, eat more advocados", if you only eat advocados, but don't understand what's behind it, or the premise behind it, you'll probably get fat. But if someone tells you "Advocados are a good way to supplement your fats without blah blah blah" and you understand that there isn't a unique solution, then you'll probably be healthier.

Hey thanks Vishaal! Having fun everyday :) We miss you over here.

I think the first step is having CI but not reacting to it. For a while I shared your view, but after just "enabling it in the background" nowadays it's really useful. Even if it's just an "it compiles" check.

I wanted to lay down some of the common things in the app tier, I think data stores get complex really fast really quickly, it's not easy replicating and sharding quickly unless you've got some experience with it under your belt or you use a tool.
