lma21··on Docker October 2022 Pricing Change FAQ
If i may ask, why do you keep using Docker for Teams/Business? what stopped you from moving to any of the alternatives?
lma21··on iPad Pro M2
The iPad Pro is one of the expensive products that I never regret paying 800$ for. Incredible speed, smooth UX, long lasting battery, really doesn't even come close to the previous (Intel-powered) iPads.
lma21··on Tell HN: I'm nervous and don't know where else to go
Lots of nice comments here.

If I may add, when your peers (or managers) take some time off and hand over work to you, write a hand-over document. Always. It's crucial for smooth handovers.

- Task to handover

- Description

- Actions at stake

- Target / Desired Outcome

- Timelines

If you missed an action / task that isn't in that document, then it's really not your fault.

lma21··on Ask HN: For a job in tech, are you only interested in remote only jobs?
A hackerspace to socialize with workers of other companies is actually a fun idea. Socializing with "non-colleagues": no work-related talks, no office gossip, talk about anything without any fear of judgement (by your peers), ... Reminds me of college.

What would the downsides be?

lma21··on iPhone 14: Cheapest Country to Buy in 37 Countries
Because of the ongoing inflation of the Turkish Lira, there's a huge margin added to imported products
lma21··on Show HN: Convert English to Cron Expressions
Hey, awesome work! What are the steps I need to take to build something similar, let's say to generate awk or sed processors/filters using plain english?
lma21··on TikTok’s Poison Pill
I installed it for one day, then I removed it. Came back a few days later, then I removed it again, And I've been in this (vicious) cycle for a while now. Whenever boredom hits, something in me thinks of TikTok. It's impressive. Never had that feeling with other platforms, not even Reddit. To fight TikTok, i'm trying a different approach, getting to know what my bored self really wants and feed it something else.
lma21··on TIFU by using Stripe as a payment processor for my small business
For potentially 120 (+30) days? That's 5 months. Some people have to survive paycheck to paycheck!

A delayed payment must not exceed 2-3 weeks tops.

lma21··on TIFU by using Stripe as a payment processor for my small business
And they didn't help whatsoever
lma21··on TIFU by using Stripe as a payment processor for my small business
Yet another story of Stripe holding big sums (yes 3k can be huge for small businesses) with no proper support structure. Consumers must rely on social networks to get some form of reaction.A $74 billion company has no proper support structure. Just wow.
lma21··on Twenty years of Valgrind
When we moved to Linux, Valgrind was THE tool that saved our as*s day after day after day. An issue in production? rollback, valgrind, fix, push, repeat. Thank you for all the hard work, in fact i don't i can thank you enough.
lma21··on Hetzner to Offer First Arm-Based Dedicated Servers in Europe
They should up the network to 10 GBit/s. Given the price and specs of those servers, one can build a powerful bare-metal cluster there...
lma21··on Nearly half of Gen Z is using TikTok and Instagram for search instead of Google
I have tried TikTok and honestly it's perfect to find cool places to eat at or even when visiting a new city.
lma21··on Tell HN: HN Moved from M5 to AWS
it's cool to go slow and steady ! :-)
lma21··on Go generics are not bad
It's been a while since i've went through any Java code. Why wouldn't the Java code sample compile?
lma21··on It's quite hard to lose a Duolingo streak
Not sure it’s a flex. Long time Duolingo user here, that streak-building addiction is real. It’s like i’m on the platform to hit my streak and much less to learn.
lma21··on It's quite hard to lose a Duolingo streak
How is it possible for you to buy / restore that many freezes? Are you paying for them?
lma21··on Ask HN: How does HN manage to be always online?
is reddit really a complex application (regardless of how they build, scale, or deploy it)? Although that makes me wonder, what makes an application complex?
lma21··on Ask HN: I am losing hope in humanity. What should I do?
That reminds me of my runescape days 15 years ago. The number of friends I made from that game was a huge help! Not only we became friends in game, but i got to know these friends IRL, i’m still in contact with a few of them. I even met them in person. Some have kids now, others still play the game and invite me to go PKing (raiding). Gaming communities are great really.
lma21··on Ask HN: I am losing hope in humanity. What should I do?
I want to thank everyone for their contribution. Thank you so much for your guidance and helpful advice.
lma21··on Ask HN: I'm changing my job after a 15-year tenure. How should I proceed?
Never thought that Anki could be used here. Thank you for that reminder. I will definitely try it! Building an Anki deck after an onboarding will certainly help with future newcomers too!
lma21··on Ask HN: I'm changing my job after a 15-year tenure. How should I proceed?
Over the past 3 years, I've really put myself out there. At first, interviewing was a bit difficult. It had been a looong time since i've done any. It got easier with time. After a while, I stopped preparing for interviews and I started getting good at it (asking questions, finding out if that company is really good for you, answering questions about yourself, and of course passing the technical assessment (whether coding / algorithm interviews or even large-scale system design).

The only advice I can give (i've received a lot of good advice here) is to always interview. Always be up-to-date on the job market, with respect to skills, technologies, coding savviness, etc. Interviewing in the beginning may take a lot of your time, but if you do it consistently, it'll only helping you in future interviews. Don't be afraid of rejections, hell, even embrace rejections as a mean to get better in the future.

I was always afraid of having my skills eroded or even becoming obsolete as it got to a point where I was no longer learning new things on the job, so I had to push myself and make myself learn (most times on my own personal time). That's what pushed me to get out of my comfort zone, and do something that I know will be annoying and heck even make me scared.

It's also because most ship from aliexpress directly to your address. We stopped noticing that all of the mundane gadgets out there cost in the range of 12.99 to 19.99, whereas you buy 50 for 200 on Aliexpress
lma21··on Show HN: Distributed Tracing Using OpenTelemetry and ClickHouse
For tail-based sampling, does it mean that every process in a trace will keep its spans in memory until the initial process 'ends' the trace? How does the flushing happen (e.g. all processes 'commit' their buffer spans)? Many thanks for the explanations!
lma21··on Ask HN: How can a non-techie mom regain access to her FB account?
Why (or how) is it trivial to bypass text messaging 2FA ?
lma21··on Reading NFS at 25GB/s using FIO and libnfs
What he said was not wrong. Why do better? I also wasted my time and learned nothing about how they achieved 25 GB/s with NFS. What were the bottlenecks? What did they fine tune? Was a plug-and-play type of benchmark?
lma21··on Ask HN: What are your 2022 predictions?
- tensions will rise between EU, the US (along with the UK and Australia), and China leading to more supply chain issues.

- crypto crash of 2022. Ethereum will switch to PoS, leading to a global wide sale of GPUs and miners are no longer a thing.

- maybe the stock market will crash similarly to 2022.

lma21··on Goodbye, Staples Center. Hello, Crypto.com Arena
Is 700M a bit too much for just an ad placement? How will the Singaporean exchange benefit from this?
lma21··on Ask HN: Looking for a book on algorithms and data structures
It's unfortunate that it costs 77$ :(

Edit: unfortunate for me ofc.

lma21··on Ask HN: Best Alternative to Homebrew in 2021?
The same thing happened to me when I upgraded vim ! I thought why the heck would postgres requires an upgrade if I was upgrading vim's minor version ! It took ages...

EDIT: for me this is a minor issue. i'll continue using `brew` as it does the job quite well
