seriously, I'd like to see in 5-10 years how the current sold car will behave in the reseller market.
And the report should consider the performance over winter, not just at 20°C as car vendors are doing

You can look at Nagios for example (https://www.nagios.org/) or something like OSQuery (https://www.osquery.io/)
on myself
mister_hn commented on Dropbox to cut 11% of its global workforce cnbc.com/2021/01/13/dropb... · Posted by u/champagnepapi
For individuals Dropbox is quite expensive compared to services like OneDrive. Microsoft 365 Personal is 70$/year and gives you 1TB on OneDrive and full access to the Office offering. Dropbox for individuals is 200$/year for 3TB. And nothing else.
Unless you're hoarding data or want to avoid Microsoft, the choice is simple. And I'm sure you have even cheaper services.
a self-hosted NextCloud is way cheaper
I got my higher education for free. I expect to save nothing for my children or their education. I expect to have to put aside very little for retirement.
The thing is, I just can’t find an argument why I should be able to get very rich doing my job. It’s a comfortable job. It pays a good salary. I got here by taking no risk at all. I wouldn’t want to switch jobs just to drive up my pay even if I could. I have other things to think about. I have worked 20 years in the same job and so have my colleagues. This is a cultural difference I feel.
It all boils down to what you want in your life.
I've seen people (including myself) trying to change the lifestyle, thus money is a vehicle to do so and to build something with. Not everybody has got rich parents or sugar daddies, some people start from nearly zero and try to climb the social ladder.
A higher salary can unlock multiple benefits, in terms of long-term economical security (e. g. in case of market crash and companies go bankrupt / berserk mode, laying people off) and maybe buy yourself a house/apartment.
Plus, saving for children's future is one of the best gift a parent can do.
Coming to an end: having a salary which is similar to what in SF are offered would be really good
mister_hn commented on Ask HN: What are the expectations of a principal engineer in your company? · Posted by u/dhab
At my company, the PE is simply the Team Leader, who does:
* communicate with clients * does the architecture design * does the API stub implementation * does code reviews * provides technical leadership / last word on a choice

Rocket Chat or NextCloud
mister_hn commented on Does your codebase feel easier to sustain each year? marcel.is/sustain/... · Posted by u/jugjug
No, at my last work, it was such a pain even doing a minimal change: codebase without unit tests, team lead doing gatekeeping and keeping it old school (some JavaEE 5) and with old servers (there are a lot of CVEs in dependencies and in the servlet server we were using (could not update to latest, since the Java version being used is ancient as well).
A pure "throw away" would be much cheaper
mister_hn commented on Ask HN: What is the one thing you find odd about any programming language · Posted by u/wizardofmysore
In Java, the "write once, run everywhere" is true only if you are in some boundaries.
Java Preferences API are a classic example of this false myth, since e.g. on MacOS it behaves differently than in Windows/Linux.
And ever heard of Native Runtime? If you want to create a native runtime, you just need to do this on the target platform.
So this is very odd to me. GoLang went much further, doing true cross compilation
SonarQube is one of the most famous quality checkers.
Another good measure is the number of dependencies used: if too much, the quality might be poor (= poor maintainability).
Is the application vulnerable? Check OWASP for this.
