sancha_··on 1-person agency: lessons on negotiation after 6 years
Thanks a lot, this comes at the perfect time, as I am currently doing steps to become a solo dev agency. Looking forward to more chapters.
sancha_··on Intel's CIP wants to collect the “categories of websites you visit”
Why does Intel need this information at all?
sancha_··on Gitlab More Than Doubles Valuation to $2.75B Ahead of Planned 2020 IPO
I believe self-hosting is a pretty new option. Gitlab always had it afaik.
sancha_··on Show HN: I created Postwoman, an online, open-source API request builder
This is also what I use. Others mention insomnia, but it does not support testing responses (validating them) with a script. With the Http Client in IntelliJ you can do that, as well as with Postman. But with Postman you need to import/export everything and put it into you projects, so you can check it in with your source code. Using IntelliJ you don't need to do that anymore too.

Having used Postman, Insomnia and the IntelliJ Http Client, the last one is the best out of them all.

sancha_··on Productivity and the Workweek (2000)
My previous company allowed people to work 4 days for 80% pay. Out of 60 people, 3 people took advantage of that.
sancha_··on Show HN: IOU – Split shared expenses
Feature wise Splitwise offers more, I also never thought Splitwise to be complicated at all.
sancha_··on Apple Engineers Its Own Downfall with the Macbook Pro Keyboard
I was about to buy a new MBP this year but held back because I already have 16GB of RAM and want more, actually need more. I often have the problem that my current MBP runs out of memory and when this happends it costs me like 30 to 60 minutes to get back to the point where I was when it ran out of it. So yeah, there are some of us that need more RAM.
sancha_··on Norwegian Consumer Council report on how tech companies use dark patterns [pdf]
Couldn't find where I can change my GDPR settings in Facebook. Can someone send me a link?
sancha_··on Facebook Container for Firefox
How would you ever know it exists then. No, they should give you the option to be reminded again, or be done with it. But since we are talking about deleting all cookies, where do you think this information would be added?
sancha_··on Ketamine has 'fast-acting benefits' for depression
It depends on the drug and it's usage, but "because of their size and comparatively long duration, Phase III trials are the most expensive, time-consuming and difficult trials to design and run" [1].

sancha_··on Ask HN: Raw SQL vs. ORM?
The main reason I prefer Liquibase over Flyway does not exist anymore, that was being able to downgrade my DB schema. It really is a new feature in Flyway and they were against it for a godly long time: https://github.com/flyway/flyway/issues/109

And there is nothing in Flyway that Liquibase can't do and there is no reason to change back.

sancha_··on Dapps
Can someone explain to me why I should pay to use the dapp Twitter clone?
sancha_··on Designing better file organization around tags, not hierarchies (2017)
I would need to dig it up from my old harddrive, if it still exists. To be honest not sure it still exists, as I said it was a long time ago.
sancha_··on Ask HN: Raw SQL vs. ORM?
Yeah there is learning curve for ORM too. Never blindly use ORM without checking the queries it does to your DB. Enable the logs to see what it does, evaluate them, enhance the slow queries, if you don't know how, change those to raw sql.

I would never give up the development speed that using ORM gives me. And from experience there are at most half a dozen queries that I convert to raw sql in a huge project.

sancha_··on Ask HN: Raw SQL vs. ORM?
Having used both Liquibase and Flyway, I prefer Liquibase. For what it's worth, Liquibase does support raw sql migration too: http://www.liquibase.org/documentation/index.html
sancha_··on Designing better file organization around tags, not hierarchies (2017)
I wrote a paper about the same topic while in Uni about 15 years ago, and also developed a proof of concept 'filesystem' with an file explorer that uses tags. Too bad it isn't the standard in any OS yet.
sancha_··on Huawei’s P20 Pro is a hugely promising phone that will upset Americans
There is no guarantee for you to receive the headphones, it's limited to the first 4k claimers, and it seems to be not limited to just the UK as this promotion runs also in Germany: https://consumer.huawei.com/de/promotions/
sancha_··on Ask HN: Best companies to work for in Europe?
The big car manufacturers in Germany are great to work for. Albeit most of them are not in big cities if that is where you want to live.
sancha_··on How Pocket Hit 20M Users with 20 People
How many of those users were forced by updating Firefox?
sancha_··on Walkmod: Open-source tool to automatically apply code conventions
What happens with the private method and the sysout in your example?
sancha_··on 'Suicides' over Ashley Madison hack
That is quite some money they're offering for a hack that didn't happen. Or did they acknowledge in the meantime, I haven't really followed these news.
sancha_··on Spotify apologizes for new terms and conditions roll-out

sancha_··on Kim Dotcom Answers Questions
I'd deny also everything, true or not, it's bad press.
sancha_··on 8Tracks – Technology stack
I clicked around and suddenly had multiple tracks playing. No way to stop them all anymore, other than closing the tab.
sancha_··on React.js Introduction for People Who Know Just Enough JQuery
Firefox on OSX, version 39.
sancha_··on React.js Introduction for People Who Know Just Enough JQuery
Thank you, great intro to react. Easy for me as a backend dev to follow and get a grasp of React.

One thing, the page loaded constantly itself, after reading half through the tutorial (3-4 minutes), I had about a hundred entries for the same page in the tab history. This makes the website aweful.

sancha_··on Material Design Lite Components in HTML/CSS/JS
Haven't you heard, Safari is the new IE.
sancha_··on “Fashion Is Hard. PostgreSQL Is Easy” [video]
Apache Jackrabbit is not a content management tool. It is an implementation of JCR, a content repository. But yes I agree that it might suit some usecases better than a relational db. That being said, you still need something like postgres for data storage, even if you use JCR.
sancha_··on Africa Dwarfs China, Europe and the U.S
Africa doesn't dwarf Russia necessarily, depending on the definition, but it's size is still almost twice as big as Russias.
