patwoz··on Go is an ideal language for AI-assisted software engineering
Just use rust
patwoz··on Rust cross-platform GPUI components
You should always use the native file picker and not shipping your own. That’s a good thing.
patwoz··on Framework Laptop 12 review
Nah, it’s ok for browsing the internet and for „slow“ games but for anything else it sucks
patwoz··on Tilt: dev environment as code
How does Tilt compare to “skaffold dev“? We use skaffold exactly for that purpose. To develop within a the cluster.
patwoz··on Ask HN: What do you use to backup your VMs?
duplicacy :)

cd <whatever root you want to be backup)

duplicacy init -e <storage-name> <storage-url>

# set password for storage if neccessary

duplicacy set -key password -value <storage-password>

# edit .duplicacy/filters to ignore/add files to backup

vim .duplicacy/filter

# check which files will be backed up

duplicacy -d -log backup --enum-only

# run your first backup

duplicacy backup -stats

# add the following command to your crontab

duplicacy -log backup -stats

patwoz··on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second
Yeah TV is not something everyone wants to play around with. Not even nerds. Especially if you have a partner which just want to watch tv. You just want to relax and watch tv without any issues.
patwoz··on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second
Just never connect them to the internet. I just use them as a display for my apple tv.
patwoz··on Ask HN: Did you personal website help you get hired? Tell about it
I got 2 projects through my personal website. I can tell that because the email on my website is unique and not mentioned anywhere else. patwoz.dev :)
patwoz··on JPEG XL: Industry-leading image compression and fidelity
3 image example on small/med-low: jpeg looks better than jpeg-xl? but overall really impressive!
patwoz··on Vaultwarden: Unofficial Bitwarden compatible server written in Rust
My vaultwarden server is behind a vpn, so I just don't need any security measurements at all :)
patwoz··on It's not just you, Next.js is getting harder to use
Just use remix. It’s so much easier and less painful.
patwoz··on Why Swift's type checker is so slow
I started using swift after the last wwdc and really fell in love with the language. It's really elegant and powerful at the same time.

I just tried the compiler flags, but the slowest expression is only 3 ms in my 1014loc project. Still very helpful to see where my slowest expressions are. I think I will set the threshold to 1ms and avoid slow expressions at all.

patwoz··on Show HN: I created an app for you to be a more unpredictable romantic partner
Please remove the need to create an account
patwoz··on Ask HN: What work/office purchase transformed your life?
My first split keyboard, where I could also easily change the angle. That was an ergonomic game changer for me. I can really recommend a split keyboard to anyone. In my case, it's a Dygma keyboard. I use vim as my primary editor and I've never been able to type so fast and for so long without interruption
patwoz··on A group of open source Android apps without ads and unnecessary permissions
I installed these apps on my mother's smartphone (Motorola) after the existing apps became unusable because they slowed down or displayed large banner ads.

Thank you for these great apps. I just donated to you :)

patwoz··on Ask HN: German company didn't pay me for two months
I had the same problem long time ago and I contacted a lawyer. He suggested that I write a letter in which I give the company 2 weeks to transfer the money with the threat of calling a lawyer if it is not transferred. And only then get an lawyer. The company transferred the money and the problem was solved in my case.
patwoz··on Ask HN: Tell us about your project that's not done yet but you want feedback on

patwoz··on Ask HN: Do You Host Your Own Email?
Uh sorry. Yes, I meant mailbox.org
patwoz··on Ask HN: Do You Host Your Own Email?
Did it for 5 years with mailinabox hosted on a cheap 3€/month vps on OVH with a custom .de domain. But I had severals issues in this time e.g. with mails coming from Office 365 Mails. So I switched 3 months ago to mailinabox.org along with my custom domain. Also paying just 3€/month.
patwoz··on Ask HN: How to migrate from employee to freelancer as a SW engineer?
Hey, I just started my Freelance career last September. I have the exact same years of experience and also located in Germany. You should take a look at Freelance.de and freelancermap.de. I'm getting 2-5 projects requests each day. I just finished my first project successfully and will start my second project next week. As a web developer I can earn 70-100€/h. That’s 2.5x more than I got as a full time employee. You should have at least 2 months of earnings as a backup due the payment deadlines. The only thing I regret is that I didn't start much sooner :)
patwoz··on Ask HN: Is it time for a home network TLD with TLS?
I'm using Tailscale HTTPS for that

patwoz··on Remix – A framework focused on web fundamentals and modern UX
The biggest complain for me about nextjs is the testing part. Did you ever tried to create a Monorepo which includes nextjs and want to run integration tests like any other react app with react-testing-library? Good luck. The integrated routing solution makes it really hard. There is a Community solution to named „next-page-tester“, but nothing official. That’s much better with gatsby and it’s built-in usage of reach-router. I hope it’s the same with remix.
patwoz··on Tricks I wish I knew when I learned TypeScript
Yes, of course. But that’s the case for all new languages. You need to learn it. After some time you will be much faster in programming with a typed language as in a untyped.
patwoz··on Iced: A cross-platform GUI library for Rust, inspired by Elm
Can someone explain the difference of redux to elm? I don’t see a difference on the first look. I‘m a React/Redux Developer.
patwoz··on Ask HN: What tiny purchases have disproportionately improved your life?
I'm using "Genius Scan". Seems it has the same functionality but costs only 7,99€ once.
patwoz··on Ask HN: Best tool for software architecture diagrams?
Whimsical
patwoz··on Comparing Svelte and React
You can do that, but you don't have to.

See my example here at line 26: https://codesandbox.io/s/clever-neumann-89tnx?file=/src/App....

Typescript will inherit the type automatically.
