TheSmoke | 1 year ago | on: One year after switching from Java to Go

I wonder how a migration to for example Micronaut from Spring would look like in their case. It is optimised for startup time, performs the dependency injection and annotation processing in compile time as well.

I definitely suggest using vite and the vite ruby gem. Create your Rails app, Create your TS + React app with vite, add the vite gem and done. It does not get better than that. Super fantastic.

TheSmoke | 1 year ago | on: Napster sparked a file-sharing revolution 25 years ago

so it's the year 2000, right. you got home from school, you're at 6th grade. saw your sweetheart and got fired up all day. summer's around the corner, it's been a pretty good day. a friend at school told you about napster, you download it and install it. you are amazed. you login to icq and wait for her to come online. in the meanwhile you search for some metallica and limp bizkit. it's insane! everything you search is there. you just have to be patient. you download nothing else matters, start playing it. she logs in and says hi, already missed you. and nothing else matters..

sure, take some scala 2 library and make it work with scala 3 / dotty with an effort similar to this one. or java 1.8 and 17. we'll wait.

TheSmoke | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What'd you do while HN was down?

I visited San Francisco in June 2013 and worked at an office for a month. I had a habit of browsing HN and Twitter during the working hours and from the work computer. I was also very productive. Always got things done. Days go by and I observe people working. I realized that many people would spend time on social media only when they were having lunch and were extremely productive the rest of the day. I thought to myself “If I am working then what these people are doing and if they are working then what is it that I am doing?”

I seriously questioned myself and made a decision. No more social media on the work computer and during the working hours. Ever since then I am only reading HN and Twitter when I am on my phone when I am on a break. I haven’t even realized HN was down.

TheSmoke | 4 years ago | on: Online Payment Processing

You need a couple of generic stuff:

- A non-sanctioned country

- Partnering up with existing banks so you can actually process payments and manage fees

- Regulatory license for payment processing - if applicable

- PCIDSS compliance if you will process cards (can come later on, card schemes will knock your door)

- A really secure infrastructure and application (or you are in trouble)

- Some of the founding people actually knowing the domain

- Well-thought API

If you get past the first one then the rest is actually all about the investment.
