juandazapata··on Why Most Unit Testing Is Waste [pdf]
It'll be fun to refactor a codebase without unit tests </sarcasm>
juandazapata··on Write tests. Not too many. Mostly integration
Unit tests force you to think about good design. Integration tests don't. If you only use integration tests, you'll end up with a big ball of mud.

Certainly I wouldn't want to touch a codebase by the author of this post.

juandazapata··on Netflix: Removing client-side React.js improved performance by 50%
Yes, the ember core team is behind Glimmer you can use it today in Ember.
juandazapata··on Why Trello failed to build a $1B business
I'd like to know how many $1B businesses has the author built.
juandazapata··on GitHub Desktop 1.0
Leave it open for a couple of hours and you'll see those 4GB coming up quickly.
juandazapata··on GitHub Desktop 1.0
I think you missed the additional "Github Desktop Helper" processes that every Electron app spins up. In my case, the app eats 190MB just being there...without even adding a repo or authenticating a user.
juandazapata··on Show HN: Generate high-res images of code samples with Chrome Headless
Nice work, I certainly think this is a nice pet project where the author learned a ton, however this looks too convoluted for my personal taste.

In my case, I use an Alfred workflow that formats the code snippet and then I can just paste the formatted code into Keynote/Powerpoint. It supports several color themes and it's super fast https://github.com/importre/alfred-hl

juandazapata··on Oni: An IDE powered by Neovim
I'm glad Atom works fine for you. I was forced to use it for about 2 weeks (company machine with no installation privileges) and it broke about 5 times. For reference, I've only seen vim dying once in 10 years (seg fault).
juandazapata··on Oni: An IDE powered by Neovim
I like this idea. This could help novice developers to get to know a true vim implementation instead of the half-baked vim modes available for other editors.

Sadly, this is still an Electron app in the background. For comparison, my nvim install only needs 9.7MB to open a Ruby file with all my plugins loaded, while Oni requires 165MB just to open a blank file with no custom plugins.

juandazapata··on BTC-e and its founder charged in 21-count indictment over hack of Mt. Gox
He used the US banking system to launder money. That's exactly the same reason why European FIFA executives and Brazilian Odebretch executives were arrested as well.
juandazapata··on Atom 1.18 released
A theme is your main reason to pick an editor? Wow
juandazapata··on If you can’t explain something in simple terms, you don’t understand it
What is a monad?
juandazapata··on Is the keyboard faster than the mouse?
I'm not sure if that applies to a 32" 4k display that is positioned about 10" away from the user in a typical desktop setting. I can't only imagine the pain in my shoulders.
juandazapata··on E-cigarettes ‘Potentially as Harmful as Tobacco Cigarettes’
I would like to know who put the money to conduct this study.
juandazapata··on A day without JavaScript
I really envy the industry where you work on. In my industry you can't just ignore half a billion of outdated Android phones and Government seats.
juandazapata··on A day without JavaScript
Good luck supporting old android browsers, IE and dealing with the inconsistencies between browsers. It only takes one look at the jQuery source code to understand why it's not a good idea to "roll your own jQuery".
juandazapata··on Google could face a $9B EU fine for rigging search results in its favour
"It's the largest search engine, but I never use it, so it must not be a monopoly" :slow-clap:

30s => 30 seconds.
juandazapata··on Show HN: Real-time notes app built with Vue.js, inspired by Notational Velocity
Also a little company called Alibaba uses vue in production.

juandazapata··on Show HN: Real-time notes app built with Vue.js, inspired by Notational Velocity
I agree. It's just an uninformed comment. Literally "Vue" means "view" in French.
juandazapata··on Self-Hosted “SQL-Not-required” Data Analytics and BI Tool. Inspired by Looker
Hey, this is cool. Thanks for making it available for free to the world.

Note apart, I feel like knowing SQL is something that every developer should be comfortable with. The amount of magic that an ORM does, will tend to zero the more SQL you know. It's weird that we as developers don't know how to query our main data repository, don't you think so?

Once again, thanks for making this available, I feel like this would be useful for a lot of people.

juandazapata··on US teen died after drinking caffeine too quickly, coroner says
You have to stop the caffeine intake for 2 weeks every 2 months, otherwise the adenosine receptors adapt and you won't feel the same effects.

Thanks, didn't think about Shazam. Enjoying the artist right now.

Thank you Internet stranger!

Anybody knows what's the genre of the music used in the videos?
juandazapata··on Ask HN: Should I create a clone of a popular SaaS with rock-bottom pricing?
My.02. If your selling point is "I'm cheaper than X", then it doesn't worth it IMO. Think about how you can deliver added value to the solution and maybe you can steal some customers.

This photos look heavily photoshopped.
juandazapata··on Inbox Zero for Life
I've been using this strategy for the last 3 years, and I've found it super effective. It completely removed the need of "advanced" mail apps with features like "snooze", "reminders", etc.
juandazapata··on Tmux and Vim – better together
I guess I must be doing something terribly wrong, because I can't relate to that at all.
juandazapata··on Tmux and Vim – better together
My point is that after the initial investment in the setup, it takes almost no time to maintain them. In my particular case, I invested about 2 weeks tweaking settings here and there until I felt comfortable with it. After that initial setup, it just gets out of your way.
