eloycoto··on Life in the Spanish city that banned cars
Not really true this one :-)

The last 10 years there are no longer rains, and the sun is here from late May to October, last year we have big wildfires in the last weekend of October, water restrictions from Sept due to the drought.

I remember when I was 10 years old rain a lot, nowadays no more than London ( I lived in London for a year).

>Forcing all deliveries to happen in the early morning sounds like a massive pain in the butt.

>For example: Forcing a lunch/dinner restaurant to have people there early to deal with inventory or delivering inventory to a diner during breakfast rush are both far from idea

TBH,restaurants the most happier with this changes. More people in the streets means more customers. If the van can get into the door, there is an entry zones, where delivery can be done with less than 5 min walk.

Disclaimer, my father is a deliveryman for restaurants.

> Any industry that routinely has to get materials (e.g. skilled trades) delivered will be inconvenienced by not being able to take delivery during mid-morning or after lunch, this can unnecessarily stretch out jobs (and cost more $$).

Nope, those industries are not in the pedestrian zone, in Galicia, there is a lot of industrial areas for that matter.

For white-collar, these entry areas, allow delivers to walk less than 5 min, so it's ok.

Is not walk/no-walk, the city did awesome to allow entry zones and make the walking culture for all of us.

1) There are a few types: - Working in the city center --> Walking mainly. - Working outside of the city --> Cars/bus

The city that has banned the cars is the city centre, but is a round island, so in 10-25 min walk, there are parking slots, where you can drive from.

2) Shopping trolley, instead of buying a lot one day, you ended that each day you pick up a few things. (And this is great, 15 min day walking)

3) All the emergency services can go to the city centre, so cars are banned, but if you have an event or emergency cars can get into, here is the common sense rule.

And there is a benefit here, kids are in the street, and due a lot of kids in the street, that moves the street from unsafe, to full of #know people, that make things super safe.

Hi,

Van and trucks can enter the city the first time in the morning, so things are ok, and there are no problems for that.

The city itself is a "round island", so cars can go close to the estuary and be close to the city, so get into city center takes less than 15 minutes.

eloycoto··on Ask HN: Work from home (WFH) setup
Hi!

Here, working remotely for six years. I think that it's all about home-office, if you have a unique space, called office all changed a lot if not is still your house and you feel like extra-hours.

For this six years, for one year I didn't have a spare bedroom for the office, and that was bad, I was working from the dining room and a lot of problems. (As you have now)

Now working from a spare bedroom-office, with nice desk, large 4K screen, a good chair, etc.. Highly recommend. Around network problems, I have two internet connections, one for failover with another company, all wired, so I don't need to worry about the wifi.

Around kids, I don't have it yet, but a lot of my friends said that it's about that they should understand that you're working, and for that, you should have an "office".

eloycoto··on A real world guide to WebRTC
On IOS 11 is going to be supported, in other browsers works fine.

Here about IOS 11: https://www.quobis.com/2017/06/08/webrtc-ios11/

And if you want to test the WebRTC solution, I think that Jitsi is one of the best solutions, and it's open-source.

eloycoto··on Why You Should Hire an Old Programmer
Be old dev doesn't mean that you know how to write code. I worked with devs with twenty years of experience, and I love it, and I learnt A LOT from them.

On the other hand, I worked with old devs too, and they did a lot of spaghetti code, they didn't make a module and a lot of things are weird for them. Like async/await/yield.

I think that it's not an old programmer, it's about the attitude that they had during his professional career and the attitude that they have now. With a lot of experience and the right attitude, I agree, it's a perk in the team!

eloycoto··on Ask HN: How was your experience with AWS Lambda in production?
I'm using it for a year in a half, and I'm more than happy, The cost increments when you have much load, but I am a happy user to use it for these small applications that need to be always up.

Need to say, that you should use gordon<https://github.com/jorgebastida/gordon> to manage it, Gordon makes the process easier.

eloycoto··on Ask HN: Which companies have the best blogs written by their engineering team?
OpenCredo is a good blog to read:

https://opencredo.com/blog/

On the other hand, Cloudflare, Stripe and Netflix have some awesome articles too.

eloycoto··on Post-Olympic Abandonment
I fully agree with this. Barcelona is one of the best examples as for how the Olympic games can help.

London is a great example, but in London is easy to use the large venues. Barcelona was more challenging and they made well.

you should create a new node. Less than 3 is a bit dangerous ;-)
eloycoto··on Bi-Directional Replication for PostgreSQL v1.0
No, I didn't try. So I can't compare. I saw the contributors/support from postgres, and I chose BDR.

We used it for a few months now, it works. we have 3 datacenters with ~10ms of delay between them and no problems.

Over WAN will work, but not sure how reliable will be. Regards.

eloycoto··on How to Pick Your Battles on a Software Team
Hey,

Not I'm not project manager, I'm single remote dev. My manager try to the other devs write test, but they said to him that is impossible or too complex. So at that time I spend 2 days and I wrote the test and I wrote a long email with links, howtos, benefits, etc.. Nowadays they still say that it's too complex and no value added. My manager can't say test in all places: they complain about it and I tried the #2 but it didn't work.

#2 worked well with the vagrant box, at first days was too complex, now they loved.. but with test and pep8 code style is a long battle. I think that I'm trying to change how they use to work, and they don't want to change how they work.

I always use to explain that, as a friend, is good for all, but I can't get it.

#1 Yes, me too, but when you reviewed 18 PR in 2 days without good code indention, half of them didn't work and 70% was mark as resolved in the task-manager I need to run a marathon every morning to keep away my frustration. Maybe was that last week I was on holidays and these days I only fixed problems.

eloycoto··on How to Pick Your Battles on a Software Team
I'm in the middle of this problem and not sure If I'm doing something wrong.

In the next month we are going to launch a new product, I'm full stack dev and I'm bit frustrated with my colleagues. I did all the devops and all developers(5) has his vagrant per branch, each vagrant box is deployed in one box so they can show to another colleague without trouble (I built a server with the subdomain with the $TASK-ID.subdomain) and the workflow is correct for all of them and they are happy. To deploy to staging/prod we have a full terraform + consul so we're in a happy place.

In terms of code this is painful, they didn't make any test, I made around 50 test 1 month ago to show to them how to make test, but in one month, only one test was added in the project. In terms of the code-review they complain about good indention, and each time that they made a Pull-Request (pep8 and pyflakes) is not passed, and they use to complain about it. They use to mark task as resolved before code got merged, things to weird that I can't explain.

I tried to explain why things need to change, I made a workflow in plantuml and they are complaining that it's too difficult. I'm the only one that made commits in the docs folder.

Nowadays I'm thinking to switch to another company, but I'm happy with my manager (He is too honest), but the team is killing me, and I don't feel comfortable with them, I rarely learn from them and they don't want to do things better, they only want to work to raise money.

This is a dead battle? Or can I fix this?

eloycoto··on Docker was unavailable in Ubuntu/Debian repos
I can't fully understand why people complain about that TBH. Free service and shit happens.

If you're running in production without having a APT mirror[0] in your local network something is wrong with you, no with docker apt repos.
