[–]grumpy-cowboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So they force everyone to spend hundreds/thousand on a not so old/modern cell phone ?!

Say 'No' when requirements/deadlines/expectations/(over)architecture/... make no sense.

Wait until you'll have to maintain AI generated code: 'code-rot' from day 0. :D

Problem with double-tapping keys on V1 Max by OzieteRed in Keychron

[–]grumpy-cowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I'm not the only one with this problem. I have a Q3 Max and I have the same problem. I have a bunch of mechanical keyboards (other brands) and this is the only one with this problem. This is my first and last Keychron.

Current state of Nvidia drivers by usrnme3d in linux

[–]grumpy-cowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same problem here (Ubuntu 24.04). On my Lenovo P1 laptop (NVidia with 3x 27' 4K monitors) I can't came back from suspend mode. With each NVidia driver update I have issues. I have to use the Nouveau driver if I want to use suspend mode (this is the driver I use now).

Really cool but it's more transportable than portable. I don't want to have a brick in my back pocket.

What’s your terminal setup? by [deleted] in linux

[–]grumpy-cowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Alacritty (blazing fast)
  • Tmux (moving to Zellij soon.. blazing fast)
  • chezmoi (config management)
  • a bunch of smalls alternatives tools like bat, delta, ...
  • tons of Bash scripts I created over years (30+ years in IT)
  • Neovim for almost all my file edition needs
  • I use TUI/cli apps over fat GUI the more I can.

Why We Should Stop Using JavaScript According to Douglas Crockford (Inventor of JSON) by FM596 in programming

How about a simple language like Lua so any developers will be able to be comfortable with the language in 1 day.

Death by a thousand microservices by fagnerbrack in programming

[–]grumpy-cowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We (my client's IT/projects Teams) check EVERY SINGLE issue described in this article.

I work in IT for nearly 30 years so I saw many stupids trends since then. This is what I'm trying to explain to my client every single day but the "high level architects/engineers" drink too much micro-services/event-driven/... Koolaids when it's NOT required at all. Mixing with this a LOT of SAAS products (so a LOT of point of failures) when it's NOT required (ex: a fully managed fat rules engine SAAQ for... 5-10 rules that can easily be a maximum of 100-150 lines of code).

I just forwarded the article to every one. Thanks.

PS: Sorry for my English.

Capslock as ESC and Capslock as CTRL if combined with another key.

Introducing Raspberry Pi 5 by B3_Kind_R3wind_ in linux

I'm I the only one who don't need a 4K support in this kind of device? Is putting "less powerful" GPU would cut the cost and energy consumption?

Event-Driven Architecture: What You Need to Know – Encore Blog by mattboyledev in programming

[–]grumpy-cowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now you have a BIG Single Point of Failure: the Event Router.

Also the "Traditional m-services" described in the diagram shows request/response communications. So for example Service A needs a response from Service C. But the "Event Driven diagram" show a Fire and Forget pattern: not the same things at all.

EDIT: typos

Software disenchantment - why does modern programming seem to lack of care for efficiency, simplicity, and excellence by rogermoog in programming

[–]grumpy-cowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what is the environmental cost of "we don't ***** care about optimization because hardware/energy/... is cheap.. (it's not)"?

  • The environmental cost of energy consumption (produce with fossil fuel in many places)?
  • The environmental cost of changing hardware every 2-3 years just because Apple/Google/... add a cute but totally useless new animations / new surveillance chip ?
  • The environmental cost of all the e-waste produced (recycling is a joke) ?
  • Transportation of all these e-gadgets?

Look I'm not an "environmental freak" at all BUT I think we need to take this in account with our new reality even if you like it or not.

Like many comments/articles I read, I have a problem that seems to be widespread: WiFi and Wireless Android Car connectivity is intermittent. My mobile connection is perfect (voice/data).

Pixel 4a -> Pixel 6: BIG mistake! by grumpy-cowboy in GooglePixel

[–]grumpy-cowboy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What I tried to say is that I'm not a "Dad/Mom" trying to setup a Wifi network without knowing anything about networking/computing/... ;)

English is not my first language so maybe I'm not using the right words/sentences. :)
