mkranjec··on Ask HN: Mac developers, how do you secure your environment?
I'd use Pareto security for starters if I had a Mac https://paretosecurity.com/
mkranjec··on Catalog of Design Patterns (2017)
Same here. I come back over and over again and always notice something new.
mkranjec··on FoundationDB: A distributed unbundled transactional key value store
Care to comment a bit further about losing data? There are two different persistence methods offered by Redis at the moment. https://redis.io/topics/persistence
mkranjec··on Ask HN: How did you overcome perfectionism?
Being on-call shifted my perspective. Good enough right now is always better than perfect next week.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: Equivalent of Docker-compose for managing team knowledge services?
Obsidian + git plugin.
mkranjec··on We check our node_modules folder into source control
Wanted to suggest the same thing. Used Yarn 2 PnP with zero installs in the past company and it worked great. Whenever I switched to projects not using it install seemed to take ages. Used that only on backend, YMMV.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: Have you seen any Web3 products with broad adoption?
What makes you think that solutions for problems you mentioned don't exist yet or are not in adoption mode right now? How do you define "broad"?
mkranjec··on Ask HN: Do you have some well written resources on how to learn K8s as a dev?
Author's name is Marko. Nevertheless, I suggest the same. He published second edition of it this year.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: What are you doing about climate change?
Working remotely last couple of years. Other than that, similar to what person above me wrote.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: How do you do notes for a project?
Just put it under docs directory and share it with the rest of the team. At least that's what I do, nobody complained until now, quite the opposite.
mkranjec··on The Canadian province Ontario proposes right to disconnect law for employees

mkranjec··on Ask HN: JMeter Alternative?
I suppose the end goal is to replicate production traffic patterns as close as possible. Why not just use production traffic? Of course omitting PII is mandatory.

Take a look at goreplay. https://github.com/buger/goreplay/wiki

mkranjec··on Ask HN: My lack of dating prospects is severly impacting my career. What to do?
Sorry to read that.

You sound like someone I might know. I hope I'm wrong, if I'm not please reach out.

Trick is, you have to be satisfied with yourself first and be happy living alone without setting any expectations upon yourself. Only then you can start searching for a partner who will further improve your life. There is no silver bullet, because this is a process and every person has to find solution by him/herself.

Have you tried multiple different activities even if you had no prior experience?

For example: animal shelters are really happy if someone comes by and offers to walk the dogs. You get to experience new things and possibly meet new people during the walks.

Try to search for activities where you are forced to spend some time with other people without any romantic agenda. Like sports activities, impro theater, Toastmasters communities etc.

mkranjec··on Ask HN: What email service provider are you using for your custom domain?
Gmail / GSuite.

Because I use rest of their services as well. I understand privacy wise it's not most the optimal solution and I might consider using alternatives in the future.

mkranjec··on Ask HN: Care to share your personal site?
Sharing mine as well. http://mariokranjec.dev

Due to personal reasons had to pause publishing for quite some time. Had really encouraging talk this week with one of the more visible members of my local tech community who shared some really actionable blogging tips with me.

If you are looking for an accountability buddy blogging wise feel free to ping me.

mkranjec··on Ask HN: DNS Outage?
According to pingdom about 30k sites affected at the peak.
mkranjec··on The Deno Company
Exactly. Not to mention installs being insanely fast.
mkranjec··on REST vs GraphQL vs gRPC
Proxy caching / leveraging caching to external service makes sense when you have a LOT of users scattered around the globe - let Akamai/Cloudflare take care of edge node caching and maintenance. In the end it saves you a lot of engineering time and infrastructure costs not mentioning user experience. YMMV but it pays off in our current setup.
mkranjec··on Problems in existing API Testing Tools. Are these problems real?
Each tool has its upsides and downsides. There's no one to rule them all. For me setup with Postman and k6 works good enough. Still not perfect but good enough.

For real load tests you should replicate real traffic with something like wrk.

mkranjec··on Ask HN: How to keep daily habit routine interesting?
This is something I heard on a podcast not long ago, just passing it forward: start with a routine for just a minute a day. Do it so for few days. Then start increasing amount of time you spend doing that routine.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: Favorite Music to Program To?
Have you tried IDM? Works wonders for me. Here's one artist from my home country that was also featured in Guardian few years ago: Kleemar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_g9wW8iR3E
mkranjec··on Ask HN: What is important in life but not urgent?
You can also look at that from opposite point of view - kids can add immense meaning to your life. I can tell from first hand experience that I became more productive since I got a kid and started cherishing every single moment with my loved ones even more. Money can be earned and replaced in so many ways it's not worth discussing.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: Blog Platform of Choice?
Same. I find it extremely difficult to find any meaningful content there, most of the content seems to be just to attract views/clicks.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: What Skills/Skill Upgrades You're Getting in 2021?
I think I got pretty decent numbers - around 30% of post tax income goes directly into savings for future real estate purchase, 15% to emergency fund and 10% into child's savings account. Not sure I can stretch those numbers much further, probably would need to start looking around for better paying job or double down on side gigs. Side gig income stays on business account and I divide it between savings and education every now and then.

I've been questioning myself if that real estate fund is worth investing into something like index funds for short-term (3-5 years) or is it better to be safe than sorry and just leave it in savings account.

mkranjec··on How are Docker images built? A look into overlay file-systems
Thanks! Didn't know that, I usually just use incognito.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: What Skills/Skill Upgrades You're Getting in 2021?
Blog more, at least one quality post per month to improve my writing skills. Learn more about investing and taxes. Not sure on how to quantify latter.
mkranjec··on Ask HN: Predictions for 2021?
Care to explain?
mkranjec··on Ask HN: How many hours per day do you work?
What qualifies ad routine coding and hard problem solving in your book?
mkranjec··on Ask HN: What was your best passive income in 2020?
Surprised to see you here. I really enjoyed your videos and they got me back into Python. Thank you.
mkranjec··on K6: Like unit testing, for performance
This thread is finest example of why I like this community so much. Been using this tool for quite some time and I thought I figured out most of the stuff. Then I noticed this thread and saw there's even more useful options and functionalities. Thank you HN.
