> I took a shit

I just completed a high-impact, end-to-end internal optimization process. It’s all about streamlining the system, letting go of what no longer serves the mission, and making room for the next big deliverable. Grateful for the opportunity to decompress and refocus on the core objectives. #Efficiency #ProcessImprovement #GrowthMindset

santialbo··on We outsmarted CSGO cheaters with IdentityLogger
Banning new Steam IDs on banned IPs seems too strict to me. Some ISP use CG-NAT or rotate IPs, meaning a single bad actor could harm many innocent players.
santialbo··on Squatting in Spain: Understanding Spain's "okupas" problem
I see a lot of people here justifying the occupation of bank-owned homes as if that is okay. I hope you never have to experience living next to squatters, as among other things, you might end up paying for their exaggeratedly high utilities.
santialbo··on Squatting in Spain: Understanding Spain's "okupas" problem
Occupation of bank-owned homes also causes a lot of trouble. I hope you never have to experience living next to squatters, as among other things, you might end up paying for their exaggeratedly high utilities.
santialbo··on Zigbee and Z-Wave are the best part of my smart home
Try having more that 40-50 devices connected to your home router and you will see devices disconnecting randomly because your router can't keep up with them.

Add to wifi that if you plan on having a lot of devices your router might commit seppuku.

Zigbee can hold hundreds of devices (as long a you have zb routers in your mesh)

santialbo··on Zigbee and Z-Wave are the best part of my smart home
I tried that and gave up. Get ready to spend a lot of moeny, sensors and devices are still very expensive compared to the ZB counterparts. Most Matter devices go with Wifi rather than Thread which makes your wifi network implode if you plan on installing a large number of them. For that reason I decided to go with what's cheap and works today, which is Zigbee.

Another silly reason is that unlike ZHA, Z2M doesn't restart everytime you restart HA.

I'm running Zigbee2Mqtt on my Homeassistant and so far it's been a very pleasant experience buying devices from different brands without having to use each vendors app. The compatibility list is gigantic https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/
santialbo··on Show HN: Open-source Postman alternative with type safety
I've used it a lot whenever I've needed to integrate with a third party through a REST api. Postman for me is the playground where I build the queries and play with iteratively as I develop the integration.
santialbo··on Launch HN: Resend (YC W23) – Email API for developers using React
I built something using react-mjml and storybook (storybook-server). It takes a bit of plumbing but the devx is very nice.
santialbo··on Why do recipe writers lie about how long it takes to caramelize onions? (2012)
Prepping everything can take a lot of time if you are not experienced. Time for things like chopping an onion can vary from 1 minute to 5 very easily.
santialbo··on Netflix loses 1M users in Spain over password policing
I'm one of those users. Went back to Plex and private files.
santialbo··on Show HN: iWF – A new “workflow as code” execution engine
If I wanted to build some sort of Zapier-like workflows within my application for my customers to create and run, would I be better using one of these libraries as backend?
santialbo··on CTEs as lookup tables
To me the advantanges comes when you use some sort of query builder. You can pass your list in code rather than having to write the SQL.
santialbo··on JSX Mail: Ending All Your Problems When Creating Email Templates
I'm using mjml-react which gives me:

- proper i18n with any react i18n library

- js to create complicated emails

- nicer component reuse story.

- syntax highlighting and completion when used with Typescript

- can be integrated with other nice js tools like Storybook for seeing all emails in one place and play with their props.

How is that useless?

santialbo··on Ask HN: Whose Fault, Apple or Spotify?
When I got my Apple Watch I was really disappointed at Spotify for not having streaming, then I learned that Apple kept the APIs private and only Apple Music allowed streaming.

When finally Apple relased the feature for third parties, Spotify was really slow at implementing it. What should have been a couple months max took like a year or so...

I would really like to know who is responsible here.

santialbo··on I spent a year designing a low profile, minimal mechanical keyboard
What's the point of the rotary control? How am I supossed to put it in my backpack with my laptops and books? It will end up breaking.

santialbo··on Azores – Evacuations Begin as Seismic Crisis Unfolds in Atlantic
Noone died in La Palma, but thousands of families lost their lifelong belongings.
santialbo··on Azores – Evacuations Begin as Seismic Crisis Unfolds in Atlantic
I hope it's not like what happened in La Palma in the Canary islands last year. But it brings to the attention that maybe building your life on a volcanic area is not the best move over the long term. Chances that something happens in a 100 year lifespan are not negligible.

santialbo··on Why routing alogrithms from different maps don't always give the same route
This December I used Google maps for a ~2hour car drive. The selected route sent me through mountain pass with lots of curves. Being below -10 degrees I didn't think it was the best alternative so I decided to look at the map myself.

There was an alternative that used mostly highways and decent roads that only took 10 more minutes.

I still don't understand why the curvy road was the default option.

santialbo··on Does ES6 make JavaScript frameworks obsolete?
I was expecting a blog post from 2015, but no it's from a week ago. It makes no sense.

santialbo··on Founder of Spanish social network Tuenti tortured to steal millions in crypto
It's the only source I found in English. Sources in Spanish mention being hit with a bat, cuts on the chest and being tasered.
santialbo··on MacBook Pro 14-inch and MacBook Pro 16-inch
Finally a decent camera
santialbo··on Spotify Box
Why should we? You can do that if that's what you want. I prefer using Spotify because I can listen new and random artists without knowing their names and explicitly buying their music. Spotify provides me with a service I'm happy to pay for and I'm happy they take a cut from.
santialbo··on A Tunguska size burst destroyed Tall el-Hammam, Bronze Age city in Jordan Valley
In a way, there are. It's theorized to be the ancient city of Sodom which was nuked by an "alien".
santialbo··on Greek Delivery Giant Efood Faces Major Backlash over Worker’s Rights
> The new breed of delivery services (Uber Eats, Glovo, etc.) don't give a damn about preferences - they'll offer delivery services for your restaurant whether you want them or not; they won't even ask you for permission.

This is no longer true with Glovo. I've seen restaurants in the Glovo app that do their own delivery. The app shows it to explain why there's no tracking of the riders for example. Or why they can't give you an accurate estimate.
