That’s a lot of walks!

Is there an app that will generate walking routes, so you visit different streets each time?

If I wanted to develop something like this, where would I start?

For me, this sounds like a developer with a lot of potential. You realized your weaknesses and want to improve. That's a big step forward.

To improve, you need to work on projects with more senior developers.

Few things that work for me well:

1. Talk with a senior person about everything you are going to do. How are you going to architect and implement stuff. You will learn a lot just by talking with smart people.

2. Have all your code reviewed by a senior person. It's good practice to do code reviews anyway.

3. Iterate quickly. Preferably, submit your code for review every day. This way you will get immediate feedback and can improve rapidly. I'm even often submitting empty classes and methods just to outline data flow and overall design.

Is it really true?

A lot of companies are focusing on hiring "short fat" engineers. Especially companies having "dev ops" engineering model, where engineers must be able to work on all stages of the product lifecycle - from design, development, testing, to deployment and operations.

As for a practical advice:

Just use PostgreSQL. You can get really really far with just an SQL database and few indexes. It's enough for 99% of projects.

This has two big advantages:

1. PostgreSQL is a reliable, high performant database, which has been proven over time. So you are not going to deal with weird issues and can focus on your project.

2. You will learn SQL which you are going to use throughout your whole career.

Why do Java programmers wear glasses? Because they don't C#.

However, this is not enforced at all for software engineers.

So in lot of companies the official title is software engineer even without any accreditation.

As mentioned before, work on your Leetcode skills. Be sure you can talk while solving them on whiteboard.

From books I like "Elements of Programming Interviews" and also "Cracking the coding interview", even though it's little lightweight.

Then make your LinkedIn profile nice and shiny and contact the recruiters.

Made an update and now the expiration time of all certificates in the certificate chain is checked.

Thanks!

robertbalent

Thank you for the feedback. You are right, checking the whole chain is important.

I'm already partially supporting this but need to do few changes.

The intermediate certificates returned when making the request are checked. The system will use the earliest expiration time.

However, the root certificate (which is stored locally) is not checked.

I'll add the feature and update the documentation.

Thanks.

Hi,

My name is Robert and I'm the creator of Monitoria.

I've submitted Show HN around 2 months ago but it didn't get any traction [1].

Since then I introduced a free plan and SSL certificate monitoring.

Please check it out and let me know what you think. I'll be happy to hear any feedback.

Thank you very much!

Robert

If you are on linux, you can try this equalizer setting by installing PulseEffects and selecting ziyad-perfecteq from the equalizer presets.

I switched to linux about a year ago (after 4 years with Mac and 10 years with linux before).

However, transition was anything but smooth. I have Thinkpad X1 Carbon 7th Gen and there was plenty of issues, especially with audio/hardware support. For example:

- Laptop has 4 speakers and it took months until they started working properly

- There is weird cracking when using headphones (need to run command to fix it)

- Attaching/detaching headphones will reset volume (created acpi hook which will change volume for me)

- Fingerprint sensor not working (fixed now)

- CPU throttling (need to use throttled fix)

- Sleep/Suspend issues (fixed now)

- Of course some minor scaling issues

But in general, I'm very happy with my setup. I know about every service running and every package installed. This way I can keep my system lean and super fast.

Also, big thanks to people updating Arch Wiki, otherwise I would be completely screwed.

I believe all of these fonts can be used without ligatures.

If I want to use ligatures, I have to explicitly enable it in my code editor.

I have X1 Carbon 7th and need to use throttled to get full power.

Try to run performance test with s-tui if you see a difference.

On Arch the command to enable the fix is:

sudo systemctl enable --now lenovo_fix.service

What is the 'open' command? Is it alias for the 'xdg-open'?

Edit: Just noticed they are using MacOS. That makes it clear.

Seems like it's not working without the internet connection. I wanted to be sure that PDFs are not uploaded and disconnected network just before selecting them. The error in the console was:

GET https://pdfwrench.com/_nuxt/pdf.worker.498fee0.worker.js net::ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED

Thank you very much for your comment.

You are right, Uptime Robot is very similar and it's free.

Currently Monitoria supports only 5-minute monitoring frequency. But it would be pretty easy to allow 1-minute intervals.

You said you are getting only adequate service from Uptime Robot. What features are you missing? Is there anything groundbreaking which would make you switch?

Thanks, Robert
