nocture··on Microsoft accidentally revealed a UI design prototype for the next Windows
Because new batch of PMs are joining and they all have promotion cycles they want to do well at
nocture··on Ask HN: Is it still worth learning Kubernetes in 2022?
On the contrary, as companies rely more and more on the cloud, they chase the mirage of avoiding lock-in even more and k8s plays a big role in this
nocture··on Event Sourcing Is Hard (2019)
Lots of hype about event sourcing and CQRS, usually in combination. 99% won't need it. Has the potential to ruin your team and even company unless you have a well-above-average engineering team.
nocture··on Domain-Driven Design
DDD strikes me the software version of Agile sometimes. The ideas and philosophy behind are good, but ends up being taken as a silver bullet. If you do this you will have a good architecture and your software will be well architected. Especially in the .NET world i've seen DDD being branded together with CQRS as "Clean Architecture" which in reality turns out to be a mess of layers and separations.
nocture··on My MacBook Pro had over 10k USD in repairs
I map it the same way to caps lock and experience exactly the same you describe. I noticed after the last patch a few weeks ago it went away for now. Been driving me nuts until.
nocture··on Call centre staff to be monitored via webcam for home-working ‘infractions’
Plenty of these systems have caught some focus the past year. A different question might be - why do developers not say no to work on this type of software?
nocture··on Ask HN: Mobile devs who added Apple Sign In, what conversion changes?
Our iOS team added it late last year to the KAYAK app. Don’t know the percentage of users who used it, but tried it myself and was an instant fan.
nocture··on Nvidia calling gaming PC owners to put their systems to work fighting Covid-19
how do you find the correct index values? My 2080 Ti receives no work.
nocture··on Firefox 70 released for Firefox Quantum: Developer Edition
Worth noting, this landed a patch that moves some of the UI work to Core Animation on MacOS[1]. More work will happen that builds on top of this, but some reports in that ticket are promising already.

nocture··on The Horror of Microsoft Teams
I don't use Teams but would assume so. My Pi hole captures a lot of other Microsoft telemetry, including VS Code related (though that seems to handle it fine).
nocture··on How I encrypt my data in the cloud
I recently did a small setup on my Synology consisting of a simple script that:

- Tars folders I want to backup

- Encrypts using GnuPG

- Uploads encrypted files to S3 (Glacier).

Simple and cheap cloud backup for me + nothing had to be installed on my NAS except for docker to run GnuPG and AWS CLI in containers.

nocture··on uBlock Origin 1.20
I send a small mental thanks to Raymond almost every day - his impact is stunning when you think of it
nocture··on Boeing 737 Max pilots complained to feds for months about suspected safety flaw
wait until the mounting pressure makes FAA ground the plane, then buy shortly after
nocture··on The New Brave Is 22% Faster
Been really happy with the new Brave so far. Made me able to drop my the last Google application on my computer.

Only thing that bugs me is still having to resort to either Firefox or Safari on mac when on battery, since Brave keeps the dedicated GPU in use after navigating to anything that activates it (a Brave Helper process seems to keep it active in the background).

nocture··on SourceTree for Windows 2.0
I still prefer Tower as my daily driver, but SoureTree has great interactive rebase support which Tower, unfortunately, does not
nocture··on Russia's leading expert on criminal tattoos
Really interesting article - one thing that caught my eye though, was the Looney Tunes wallpaper in their kitchen. That seems like an odd thing to find deep inside Russia.
