pachico··on FrankenPHP: Modern PHP App Server
I enjoy seeing this in the front page of HN.

My feeling is that FPM and its share nothing arquitecture has been both the key of PHPs success many years ago but also its condemnation.

pachico··on Google Meet rolls out multi-device adaptive audio merging
GitLab offers a nice course about transitioning to remote work. One of the items in their guidelines about online meeting is not having hybrid meetings. This is, all those attending must attend from their own device rather than the meeting room one (see Jabra) precisely for the reasons this feature tries to address.

Am I the only one surprised that they keep using this blog style as it was 2005?
pachico··on Medieval Bologna was full of tall towers
You chose a good season too, as plain summer or winter a a bit extreme.

Glad you liked it, BTW. For some reason I feel I belong there, at least partially. Probably because those were really happy years for me.

pachico··on Medieval Bologna was full of tall towers
Allow me to say that if you can, please, go visit Bologna. It's still one of the few places where tourism won't affect much your own experience.

I had the tremendous luck of studying there 25 years ago when you could still bump into Umberto Eco having a coffee at the Students' Bar, when walking via Zamboni agglutinated most of the university life.

jeez, that model really speaks a lot! I hope there's a way to make it more straight to the point rather than radio-like.
pachico··on The Making of Django Reinhardt
Although I was already very familiar with jazz, I wasn't aware of Django and the Gypsy Swing / Swing Manouche.

One day, probably being 16, I discovered it and it changed my experience with music forever.

While my friends fantasized with motorcycles, I was dreaming to attend the Samois Sur Senne festival. This passion drove me to fly to Rome, Paris, Berlin, etc just to see Angelo Debarre or Rosenberg, to fanatically collect records that never made it to the digital era like Waso's, and what not.

For those that weren't exposed yet to it, please, let yourself be tempted. Allow Django's music touch you with its brutal delicacy and self-mocking irony.

Now, after 30 years, I still love it.

pachico··on Hügelkultur
Interesting to read how in English it says "advocates claim that the technique helps to improve soil fertility, water retention, and soil warming" while in Spanish, instead, it gives it for granted ("Este proceso mejora la retención de agua del suelo, aumenta su temperatura y su fertilidad...").
pachico··on Show HN: Sonauto – A more controllable AI music creator
Good luck! I just tried it and the interface was a bit confusing. It allowed me to only fill the last input in the form, which is usually a bit counterintuitive.

I presentes this prompt "Noir detective music from the 60s. Low tempo, trumpet and walking bass" and got back a one-note only song that has nothing to do with the prompt if not for some lyrics that were a bit ridiculous.

This is just feedback, I'm passionately expecting something like this to surprise me but I know it's really hard!

Happy to share the song/project/account, if you tell me how to :)

pachico··on Preview of Explore Logs, a new way to browse your logs without writing LogQL
I am a happy customer of Grafana Cloud, yet, I can't use their backends for logs and metrics as they are terribly expensive and slow.

Somehow, VictoriaMetrics manages to provide much better results.

pachico··on I no longer maintain my Emacs projects on Sourcehut
I am puzzled by the fact that he provides private lessons about life in general...
pachico··on DBeaver – open-source database client
I'm ignorant about this all. Can't you use something like Qt in Java?
pachico··on DBeaver – open-source database client
Ugliness is something I found to be quite common in Java based apps. I never understood why, though.
pachico··on Icelandic Approved Names – Nordic Names
Well done, Aquamann parents. He'll always be called Aquamann in our hearts.
pachico··on The CAP theorem. The Bad, the Bad, & the Ugly
If your decision between Consistency and Availability has business implications, you definitely aren't making this "really complicated" but rather a business logic to adhere to.

Failing to understand the implications of one over the other is often sign of immature architecture.

pachico··on Radicle: Open-Source, Peer-to-Peer, GitHub Alternative
What are the most common use cases this provides a solution for?
pachico··on Serverless Horrors
I think the biggest Cloud horror, probably not serverless, is that we have accepted to pay for inter-AZs traffic just in case the Cloud provider fails. In other words, they charge (and a lot) for a mitigation for the problems they might have.
pachico··on Neanderthals' use of complex adhesives shows high cognitive abilities
Considering how we have treated diversity across history, I'm not sure it would have been a pleasant coexistence.
pachico··on Apache Superset
The fundamental difference is that Grafana isn't great at cross referencing data in different data sources. (I love Grafana and I pay for the Cloud version.)
pachico··on Orgzly Revived: a community-maintained version of Orgzly
Honest question, how does this compare to Google Keep?
pachico··on Oink: An API for PHP in a single file
I just honestly hope this doesn't turn into another rant against PHP, as it usually happens.
pachico··on Deno in 2023
For starters Deno is much, much faster in both installation and runtime.

I am not sure if I'll have the chance to exploit other features it has (besides the built-in dotenv support).

Not so many years ago, even installing npm wasn't straight forward.

pachico··on Deno in 2023
I'm not a big fan of JavaScript but I admit I stayed away from it because I dislike nodejs and npm terribly.

I was forced to start coding again in JS some weeks ago and I wanted to try Deno. I must say it's been a very smooth and fast experience so far. Very well done!

pachico··on Waterway Map
I live in Spain, mate, I know a thing or two about this.
pachico··on Waterway Map
Wow, all this escalated rather quickly...
pachico··on Data leak contains 26B records from numerous previous breaches
What is the real impact on companies that suffer breaches like the ones in that list?

Does it really hurt them? Does even the reputation produce any hit on them?

pachico··on Framework Laptop 16 Review
I am really happy with my fw13. I love everything of it.

I even made the simulation of upgrading to 64gb of ram just after I bought it to prove myself that it was the right choice.

I cannot think of going back to buying something I know I'll most likely have to replace entirely after some time because it cannot be upgraded.

pachico··on Framework Laptop 16 Review
I personally never experienced a keyboard as comfortable as my fw13. I am coming from XPS ones and never tried ThinkPads, thought.
pachico··on Why are we templating YAML? (2019)
I keep coming back to tanka (https://tanka.dev/) and hoping it had more traction in the industry.
pachico··on The music player you wish you had in the early 2000s
Reminds me of my old and loved ARCHOS GMINI 220.
