Do you have by any chance a proper spectrometer? After all you developed f.lux?

Would you be able to share images on what the real difference is with and without f.lux? And also the ophthalmic lenses? I just got some so i'm quite curious :)

Whenever i hear something about Trump and see all those people following him and playing / taging along, i get very frustrated and unhappy.

We all should be able to fix climate change while in parallel Trump is President and we don't care about that?

How does that work?

I'm 32, i might just not create children, accept our faith and will enjoy what still exists.

It's not hard to see what are disruptive models in fintech.

I have 5 bank accounts and you can see, based on the login method, how modern a banking software is.

There is a ton of potential just not be used at all.

Even without much change at the original banking software layer, putting a modern analysis tool upfront would make a huge difference. Just imagine having a secured mobile app which has limited permissions but allows you to perform a few basic things like checking your balance or transfering small amounts of money.

Or just a web ui which doesn't suck. If it doesn't suck, how about income analysis?

I left Wells Fargo for a credit union. The online banking experience the credit union provides is not as nice.

It doesn't matter. I don't need all those features. The product is commodified.

And I'm happy to be gone from a horrible company that actively victimizes its customer base. I don't have to watch my back, and I don't have to regret that my deposits help Wells to build systems which extract maximum wealth from its most defenseless users and funnel that wealth to its executives and shareholders.

Crazy fintech innovation idea: how about just actually serving the customer's interests?

Most retail banking "customers" are more akin to a Facebook user. They're nothing more than an input that can be packaged up and sold to the real customer.

I have had the opposite experience. 5 years ago I moved away from my local area to another state that didn't have a branch and signed up for an account at Wells Fargo. It was painful, the UI sucked and the phone app was terrible compared to my credit union.

I'm still with them today and almost never have to go to a branch. They have a great mint-style money manager, mobile deposit, and bill pay. They obviously spent a lot of time working it out. Plus, you don't have to deal with all the BS you do at for profit Wells, Chase, etc

Note: this is for Mountain America Credit Union in Utah

>It doesn't matter. I don't need all those features. The product is commodified.

I've encountered a case when it does matter. I tried applying for a bank online through multiple browsers, OSes, VMs, but never managed to get the form to work. Eventually I called them to apply - there was a valuable perk for me - but most customers just won't bother. A good software team would have spotted the drop in conversions instantly.

I told them about it, using the terrible online form. They weren't interested.

Heh, I was doing an online payment for a government agency. While my credit union’s form asked for my account number for the gov, they really wanted a different sub-account number and kept giving errors.

When I called them to bring it up, they thought I wanted them to change the form just for me. They seemed even more surprised when I said “No, you should make this change for everyone, not just me”.

> “I left Wells Fargo for a credit union.”

congrats! yes, basic banking is a commodity and everyone should switch to credit unions so that the big banks offer competitive, customer-oriented products. the good service provided by credit unions and small banks should be the norm, not the exception. no one should ever pay for banking services (banks already profit on the investment side), especially not their crazy, convoluted fees concocted to extract money from us.

Yes there are not that many good people in CS. Nothing new here.

But still we can't find enough good people in munich at all. And it is not just munich.

Is that you, Tableau Munich office? :-)

Seattle can't find enough programmers either.

But the reason might be ... Munich? I certainly wouldn't want to move there.

What is bad about Munich? (For those of us off the continent)

Cost of living too high.

I've currently plenty of space and a half hour commute. That wouldn't be possible in Munich even if I got paid much more than now.

Good question. High salaries, clean air, very save (one of the savest cities in europe), etc.

Not that much going on party wise and not that easy to find flats.

It's the same as Berlin. So...

People are not creating that stuff for others, they are creating it for themselves.

I don't need a social circle which creates content for me.

I'm quite happy that evolution and the masses created tv shows like GoT or other professional high quality content.

I don't know common sense? Honor? Respect perhaps?

What is he actually 'tuning'?

I mean i don't understand it. He puts some wire into custard and then a device is 'tuning' and then the reception is better after?

There's nothing surprising here.

The custard will present a certain impedance (resistance and reactance, normally represented as a complex number) at a frequency. A radio transceiver normally expects 50ohms (real) at the antenna port for maximum energy transfer (and smallest standing wave voltage ratio). Using a network of capacitors and inductors (the tuner) the custard's impedance can be transformed to 50 ohms. But it's still not an efficient antenna, in the sense that it won't radiate more.

You are using the ubiquitous jargon of radio engineering. But for those on this site who are not radio engineers: of course the impedance of the custard does not change. The impedance of the system including the custard and the antenna tuner is different – and better for the radio to work with — than the custard alone.

Don't act like you want to act and be proactive.

People will use you as you act. If you are someone who is always quite, never has time for team events, never interact much but works on tickets in good quality, your team lead or manager will learn to use this for them.

I like to have a team with everyone engaged but if i have someone on my team i can give a ticket and they just do it in good quality or don't mind if i tell them how they have to rework it, great.

Make sure you are not in a start up. There is stress and direct communication needed. Look for something less edgy, less modern. Something which works but is not that interesting and good defined.

It sounds like a joke but you probably mean it.

Why it sounds like a joke?

I like gitlab very much and i see that they improve there autodevops feature. That looks promising that i now can include single steps.

I'm playing around with autodevops and currently it sucks. I cloned there script and the helm chart otherwise it is not possible to just use it.

And quite frankly if you promote it as auto and enable it on default and it is not able to build a standard spring boot application or a angular frontend, i'm a little bit disappointed.

there is also a bug open for frontend builds: It is able to detect and build the anguluar project but is not able to execute karma tests because the image doesn't contain chromium. And for the backend there is another bug: autodevops builds the spring boot application and enables/enforces postgresql ssl but the image from gitlab for postgresql doesn't support it.

Hi @sigi45, GitLam PM here. Thanks, I'm glad you like GitLab and have noticed the improvements we've been working on for Auto DevOps. I'm sorry things didn't work out of the box for you, we've worked to cover many use cases but we recognize we don't yet cover them all. If the particular stage in question is not supported you have a couple of options: 1) you can disable the particular job in question with the use of environment variables (see https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#environment-va...) or you can use composable Auto DevOps to only pull in the parts that are relevant to your project and use a customized CI script that fits your application better. More info on composable Auto DevOps here https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/#using-componen.... Is your project public by chance? Would like to take a look and make sure we do what we can to support it. Thanks.

Hey,

nope its not public. But for example the ssl bug you can find here:

https://forum.gitlab.com/t/auto-devops-postgres-database-ssl...

I personally have asumed that when you introduce autodevops, you would make sure that the top x default stacks are working fine. Spring Boot and Angular are very popular (i believe) but they don't work out of the box but not much is missing.
