I remember creating a web query form for an employee search or something like that using CA Clipper and reading stdin an spitting our HTML on stdout. Worked like a charm, was fast and made that data available to whoever needed it.

Do USA schools teach that America is one continent divided in north, central and south America? Or is it America=USA ? I'm from South America and we learn it's one continent

marianov | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: What are some “10x” software product innovations you have experienced?

last time it was: install tcpdump on java server doing nasty things. save pcap. Analyze with Wireshark, find out the JAVA app was doing insane things against the Oracle DB even after vendo said they had "optimized" database access. Th good thing is the same technique applies to REST apis, sockets, load balancer problems, other databases. You probably can do a better job using each specific stack debug facilities, but a .pcap and wireshark is the swiss army of debugging.

Also: strace for reading what anything in Linux is trying to do when failing.

Wireshark. I've saved countless enterprise problems that nobody could debug by intercepting traffic and guessing, or looking at the raw data nobody knew was there.

Python list comprehensions + ipython: it changed how I approach all compley python code. I iterate over the data until I get it right, then use that as the basis of the program/script.

Youtube: I can learn anything now. It's the real world The Matrix

related: is there some resource to know what a game/social network concerns may be?

My small kids requested: Minecraft, Roblox, Among Us, tik tok , Hogwarts Mystery and the list goes on. My due diligence process is overbooked.

This are PKI tokens, like smartcards. I would like something tied to a certificate and private key on the device. That would be unforgeable

marianov | 5 years ago | on: Do Adults Really Not Remember School Sucked?

I asked mine. School sucks, friends not. And it's too long. We switched to 2 hours work, outside activities and you can meet with as many friends as you want. I'll tell you te outcome in one year, but TBH they see it as the same as last year, plus the outside activity and without the dreaded Google Hangouts classes, which were frustrating. They got to grades last year and we have the time to devote to home schooling

Not getting any richer. It's just there is inflation, but the exchange rate for exporting services is fixed by the gov at a low valuation (90) vs the actual dollar on the street (160)

Do people deploy using kubernetes or has it passed as a fad? Self-hosting k8s looks like a nightmare

marianov | 5 years ago | on: “Accentism” is real, but impossible to end

I've heard people from India say they don't have accent, but so do newyorkers. Being native Spanish speaking, I find easier to harder english accents:

- Russian, Italians

- English RP (BBC)

- "Educated" American English (politicians, etc.)

- rural accents from the US

- India

- Ireland

- Australia

- UK popular accents
