April 2021

@spazierendenken I'm really sorry for your loss. It's the worst to not be able
to come together as s family for this.

@ktrajchevska I found my last job on
LinkedIn, because I was looking for a position in a specific city, where I knew
no-one. The next time I would reach out to friends and see if there is a job for
me, where they work. Because that's the best that can happen: work with friends
every day.

Which tools are you using to track your personal/individual retirement savings?

@SigurdSeteklev No, I've been writing my
own spending tracker for years, and need to extend it for tracking retirement
savings progress. I'm wondering what's out there that maybe solves this already.

@m4nl5r Where do you get your formulas from?

@alfthomas Where do you get your formulas from?

@borderless_dev Kinda unlikely. What's
your alternative?

@jocrossick Where do you get your formulas
from?

@Niklas_L
@MoneyMoneyApp Ok, so you see your
spendings in the app and then transfer them to a spreadsheet? What formulas are
you using to track progress?

@SWTestEnabler It could also be the time
where you decide that you no longer want to work? Sounds like a bleak view to be
working until death.

@slingstar Where do you get your formulas from?
Is the time you are spending worth more than YNAB's fee?

@rolandclaussen Where do you get your
formulas from?

@JRo_FinLab Where do you keep track, though? Just in your head? What's the math
you are using to calculate that you are on track?

@therealjfrost
@finanzguru_de Thanks, I'll check it out!
Does it allow you to track different kinds of retirement incomes, like life
insurance, ETFs, or how does it calculate your retirement goal?

@m4nl5r If it's just those three, you are lucky!
Makes it easy to get an overview.

Our setup is much more complicated...

@rolandclaussen Do you factor in other
sources aside from state pension, like one time payments, private life
insurance, stock investments?

@borderless_dev Norway has pretty comfy
couches, for skilled workers ...

@jocrossick I think this is pretty great that
you have a pot that you are aiming for. Different assets flow into this pot, and
for us the challenge right now is to get a good overview of the different
streams we have that flow into the one goal. So we can decide where we need to
improve.

@alfthomas How do you then decide where to
invest, e.g. from your monthly surplus and how much? Assuming that you have
multiple investments with different risk classes?

@therealjfrost
@finanzguru_de Doesn't sound promising ...

@vicbergquist I am in a private slack
channel with my favourite group of people where I can vent safely and be there
for others do the same. It's divine.

@SigurdSeteklev ... and it seems there
isn't, so I think there is actually a niche forming, since late Gen
X+Millennials are now entering an age where they should make good decisions on
their retirement, because they are the first ones to need significant supplement
to state pension.

Talk to Wouter: https://twitter.com/RidingWolf/status/1378013761555021824

@alfthomas Yeah, agree. It's not so much about
projecting the outcome but tracking all different assets we have, so we have a
good overview, and so we can make decisions where we should ideally invest more.

@IvanTheTester Where do you get your
formulas from?

@rolandclaussen @JRo_FinLab On track to
closing the gap between what you will get in pension from the state, and what
you need monthly for living when you retire.

@RayPaseur For monetary accounts, or also for
insurances, real estate, and your government pension?

@nelisboucke Having a buddy is great! We work
with an independent consultant (paid hourly) who doesn't get kickbacks from
insurance companies. However this (and buddy) is good for checking that all
areas are covered, but having a good overview in one place, tracking is what I
am researching.

@alexboly Yes ... I mean we are definitely an
edge case today (having lived in two countries, working self-employed and on
salary), which makes it harder to get a good overview.

@spazierendenken Yes. Many people learn coding using their mother language, and
only that. We shouldn't dismiss a software developer's ability based on their
English skill.

@Maggysche Oh no, sending best wishes. I hope
you get good news soon.

I'm here to tell you that writing software is mostly shoveling shit with a
hammer. https://twitter.com/Dixie3Flatline/status/1378798663623868417

@pati_gallardo I guess we have more
respirators now?

I'm struggling with some GQL queries to AppSync, where the server rejects the
request, because of a signature mismatch. However, the only mismatch is the body
hash, which is calculated in aws-appsync-auth-link
(https://github.com/awslabs/aws-mobile-appsync-sdk-js/blob/fc173bfe3ce262b1dba422021fc57097c4926b7b/packages/aws-appsync-auth-link/src/signer/signer.ts#L87)
@AWSAmplify #cloudnative

It does not work for one specific mutation, other queries and mutations work
fine, so I wonder how the server-side calculates the body hash...

Setup code for the Apollo client is here:
https://github.com/ausgaben/web/blob/2483bba552ab4f04f2402d0fbfb5687a950db306/src/Apollo/createClient.ts

Oh, nice, my bank @sparebank1smn has an API:

@tommyvedvik
@SpareBank1SMN Du begynner med å registrere
en personlig klient: https://developersparebank1.no/personlig-klient

@m4nl5r
@SpareBank1SMN I guess that's the point,
the representation in NOK is easier for most use cases. I haven't checked their
PSD2 implementation.

I confirmed this with calculating the body checksum on the shell using

openssl dgst -binary -sha256 | od -An -vtx1 | sed 's/[ \n]//g' | sed 'N;s/\n//'

Which will calculate the correct checksum, that the server expected.

I found the issue: my query included a variable definition, that was not part of
the mutation, and server side, this variable is removed when calculating the
body hash. So AppSync actually parses the request body and manipulates it before
calculating the hash.

@bitbauer
@AWSAmplify Yeah, I am using the SDK, however,
I found the problem:
/status/1379032759604248578

@spazierendenken @ianrohdebell I learned
programming in German, with German books, and some online resources in German,
and even in 2009 when I studied CS in Germany, all course material was in
German. This form of local education is still true for many universities around
the world.

#Azure pros: do you have separate subscriptions per project for better cost
control?

Azure kinda punishes that because support plans are linked to only one
subscription...

Do people know that cheese is not made from slices?
https://twitter.com/OzolinsJanis/status/1378381046169935873

So in #Azure, a Subscriptions is also called an Account, and you log in with
your Microsoft Account and can access multiple Directories which can have
multiple Subscriptions AKA Accounts.

Easy!

@malk_zameth Right, if the eating part is the
project, yes.

@malk_zameth I think this is a very good
waterfall metaphor: you have planned out the whole thing from start to finish,
only to realize half way through that it takes too long to eat an entire wheel
of cheese because it starts rotting as soon as you cut the first slice.

@micromag84 Yeah but then I have to tag
everything. Subscriptions are solving this automatically.

I still haven't found a suitable candidate for
/status/1353707881250623488 ... but I've
started a long-term solution and added a summer student to my team, hoping to
inspire them to learn more about the cloud side of cellular #IoT.

I'm also trying to reach out more to the local university and make us more
visible for computer science students ... right now we are only on the radar of
electrical engineering students. In the end we need strong knowledge on both
ends of the spectrum to deliver great solutions.

When interviewing candidates with carefully selected online challenges on sites
like @codility: ANY time limit, even if very
generous creates pressure and can put some candidates in fight-or-flight mode.
So after they had submitted their solution, I gave them a second chance. >

I transferred their solution into a GitHub repository with an extensive test
suite, and they could finish the tasks on their time.

This also provided an additional test for them to show how they work with GitHub
and in an existing TypeScript codebase.

@codility I've seen this first-hand. Students
perform significantly better in these coding challenges than experienced

@lauralindal
@sumitgrrg I agree. Imagine what would happen
if Bezos had used the innovation machine her created to do something other than
finding ways to make more money.

Many "smart building" solutions use human behaviour to optimize energy
consumption of buildings (e.g. turn off lights automatically if no one is in the
room). But when deploying sensors like shown here, make sure you can't connect
sensor data to individuals.

I've generated an architecture diagram of one of my AWS solutions, and this
again shows that

1. auto-generating diagrams is pretty useless
2. a lot of the "magic" of AWS solutions is in the configurations and typical
   architecture diagrams are bad at visualizing this.
   

Especially if using AWS CDK, which allows to structure AWS resources much
better, i find these resource-level diagrams pretty useless. What do you think?

@evolvable Well, I am a person that can read
CloudFormation YAML, and with CDK it's easy for me to quickly find the things
that I am interested in.

@evolvable I think for some it might be easier
to have a C4 model container diagram which maps to CDK constructs, but I'd
prefer a well structured source over that.

@evolvable I was exploring the solution
proposed here
(https://betterprogramming.pub/how-and-why-you-should-start-generating-your-serverless-infrastructure-diagrams-49cfd4568935)
... mostly because I think it does not provide value to me, but wanted to know
what others think.

I'd say my preferred way is creating a C4 model System Context diagram
(https://c4model.com/#SystemContextDiagram) manually for a high-level
explanation of what the solution does, and then jump directly into the
infrastructure code.

@evolvable Yes, I've done the manual way for a
more complicated system in https://c4model.com/, it's a lot of work and hard
to maintain, so while initially it might be good, it's hard to preserve it's
value, especially from level 3.

@evolvable I know that
https://structurizr.com/ exists, but I haven't seen good examples of useful
Level 3 diagrams, yet, where automation would make the most sense.

@evolvable Interesting, the best visualization
I have seen so far was @epsagon, because they
visualize based on requests, which is very helpful to understand how a solution
works.

However I know that understanding how "features" are implemented would also be
amazing.

@sergsoares
@simonbrown "event" is not really a concept in
this diagram. An IoT rule that triggers a lambda will have one connection (based
on the execution permission), however what kind of event triggers the lambda is
not documented in the diagram. You get both of that from looking at the source.

@StOnSoftware Grouping resources by
features, showing configuration like IoT rules, permissions.

@StOnSoftware Well, for me it works (i write
CDK), but I am trying to understand what would be useful for "outsiders".

Effort to do this manually (on C4 level 3) is huge, so it must be automated, but
the presented solution above is just useless.

What do you use?

@evolvable Do you have an example of a
feature-based diagram for an AWS solution with
@archium_io?

@AzureStaticApps Is there a guide on how
to configure a static app through an ARM template? I only found GUI based
tutorials on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/static-web-apps/

@manekinekko
@AzureStaticApps Use case is that I
provide an end-to-end example of an IoT product to our customers, and they
should be able to install it to their Azure account with as few steps as
possible. I also need to test this continuously.

@manekinekko
@AzureStaticApps On AWS using CDK I can
set up a CloudFront distribution (CDN), S3 (static site hosting), and
CodeBuild+CodeDeploy pipeline that publishes changes to a GitHub repo fully from
code in one command. I'd like to replicate that for Azure.

The error message was completely misleading. The actual cause was that an
@Azure Function App can be configured in a way that
does not work, here it would select a Node.js 0.6 runtime. The fix is the

humans bias for forming tribes. The US Army has researched this:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/amp-amp0000259.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjJk-SkyIXwAhVPlYsKHcnxAxMQFjAAegQIAxAC&usg=AOvVaw39jWKao02dp8gfcLmrjV7R

@Niklas_L Humans perceive only a small group
(~30 ppl) as their "tribe", AKA the "we". The rest is "them". That makes it hard
to build relationships in big organizations.

@wodarhospur
@Niklas_L I'd say you stick around the people
that you work mostly with, and most companies still arrange people horizontally
(by function) instead of vertically (by product).

The other day I thought that it would be great to have
@DistributeAid issue NFTs on the shipping
process around our palettes, because it's also a purely digital item, and it
would be great to give donors a more tangible way to see the impact they are
making. But then I remember:

https://qz.com/1987590/the-carbon-footprint-of-creating-and-selling-an-nft-artwork/

... and that it's unlikely that people want to trade their certificates of
donation.

@DistributeAid You don't need a blockchain
for that.

@DefinitelyTyped
https://github.com/nestjs/nest and https://github.com/angular/angular come
to mind.

So, since I am on fiber now, it's time to migrate my photos from flickr to
something that I better control (in case flickr goes away).

I really like to have photos somewhere raw + metadata, have them sync to S3 or
@Contentful and serve them from there.

@dw_culture Content für
@FranziskaNaja.

@Morl99 Yes I do mind, serverless is cheaper and
less hassle. Also the way I design it now is that I still own the data in a
format that's portable, but combine it with powerful cloud features.

@Morl99 An example is my blog: images are in the
source repo, content is Markdown, but content gets served from a CDN (Netlify)
and I get a powerful image manipulation API through Contentful (images are
cached there via the API on deploy).

@Morl99 I am moving public flickr content, so I
don't need sharing. I don't plan to offer search (only navigation by album, a
map, and tags), this is pretty straightforward to implement statically (I only
have 16000 photos, so tagging data can be a smallish JSON file).

@Morl99 However, if I need more advanced search
(note that I don't have it for my blog ether, Google search is usually
sufficient), I use @algolia, where you basically
dump a JSON and get a super fast full text search.

@Morl99 @algolia
I've used that in the past for content-heavy static sites like

Any resource you found helpful when starting?

@BjornTikkanen Klassikeren: FizzBuzz

@BjornTikkanen Jeg anbefaler å gjør det i
ping-pong: Person A skriver første testen, Person B implementerer til testen er
grønt. Etterpå veklser rollener.

@Niklas_L I believe so, but "inefficiency" in my
experience is in most cases "perceived inefficiency", and actually the fear of
lack of control. Bigger organizations are impossible to fully grasp, so
"processes" are introduced by managers to exert control in absence.

@Niklas_L Sure, but for totally different
reasons. IME most demands for clear processes from non-managers are caused by
the wish to fulfill managers' needs.

@Niklas_L So, there are healthy and unhealthy
ways to define processes in larger organizations. They absolutely serve a
purpose. But it's important to realize who is driving them and for what reason.

@Niklas_L Here is a great exampled of a healthy
way to define processes:
https://hbr.org/2011/12/first-lets-fire-all-the-managers

The album view is working already:

@Niklas_L People typically ask for processes
because they relieve them from responsibilities, and very often only need this
because its a manager that demands some form of "insight" or "control".

@g33konaut :-}

@pohjalabeer I think you've created a
trend...

So, paid @AzureSupport is ... interesting, I
now have a bunch of emails from support which are not tracked on the portal, a
chat in teams, and a scheduled meeting.

Feels much more messy, but more like interacting with humans than what I am used
to from AWS.

Looks like I am a heavy @signalapp user...

I respect @dhh for being very well informed and
outspoken about social issues, so I read it with the best intentions: keep the
work communication channels focused on work, yet everyone is encouraged to
keep the discussion about political topics going.
https://world.hey.com/dhh/basecamp-s-new-etiquette-regarding-societal-politics-at-work-b44bef69

If I were to make a decision like that however, I would explain what efforts the
company commits to that make up for the communication channels they just took
away. Otherwise people will feel that they no longer come to a safe place, where
others care about them.

@Der_Pesse I can understand your point of view.

@arnarfjodur Exactly, that's why it's a good
thing to ask people to take these discussions to safer places, where the company
has no privileged access. I didn't mean that they should provide hosting for
these discussions in other tools.

@Niklas_L I find this very disappointing.
Everything is political, and saying that it doesn't, and also concentrating
power, enforcing hierarchies sounds like there is no guidance and clarity in the
organization. If they struggle with focus, I'd put effort on improving that.

@Niklas_L I wouldn't count on something
official, but there will most likely be some journalists working on getting the
inside story right now.

@Der_Pesse However, it does not say how Andrea
has to come to this decision, as any manager, they could (and hopefully will)
work with everyone in the organization to come to decisions. I totally see the
benefit of having one person who has the final say.

@wittyelk
@ZephyrIoT
@NordicTweets
@jwgrenning Yes, that's the first one that
comes to mind.

@Der_Pesse I don't know Andrea, but in a
majoral cis-white-male organization, committees can easily become blocked or
subverted by nay-sayers and hidden power play, for me this re-affirmation of the
person that is hired for DEI work is actually a good thing.

@Der_Pesse I would assume exchange related to
DEI efforts are clearly work related and thus allowed. But you are right, that
conflicts with the ban of all non-pleasant discussion about politics. This
blocks effective DEI work.

"every discussion remotely related to politics, advocacy, or society at large
quickly spins away from pleasant" --

I write down what doesn't not work, and suddenly I am ... why can't I, really?!

Oslo (2,5 Millionen Einwohner) hat übrigens so wenig Mietwohnung, weil Norwegen
Eigentum sehr stark fördert. Hier bekommen Absolventen mit dem ersten Vertrag
Kredit um sich Eigentum zu kaufen, und Schulden reduzieren deutlich die
Einkommenssteuer. https://twitter.com/plateauton/status/1387257512546639873

Der Staat hat erkannt, dass Eigentum zum allgemeinen Sicherheitsempfinden der
Bevölkerung beiträgt UND effektiv die Preissteigerung der Wohnkosten mindert.

@EdyBolos Nice!

@EdyBolos Who would think that photographing a

@lilemykarikatur Ja, ich wollte auch
nicht sagen, dass Wohnen in Norwegen billig ist.

@lilemykarikatur Ja, ich kenne
Absolventen die mit erstem Vertrag vor Arbeitsantritt schon einen Kredit für
eine Wohnung in Oslo bekommen haben.

@lilemykarikatur Wobei man sagen könnt,
dass hier leichter mit Immobilien spekuliert werden kann (kurze Bindungsfrist,
keine Steuer auf Gewinn).

Do yourself and other a favor when writing an issue: explain the why.

Too often I see issues that go in detail about "what" needs to be done, but
leave out the reason why it has to be done this way.

This removes any opportunity for others to reason about the proposed solution.

IoT Hubs are allowed per subscription. Doesn't make sense.
