Anyone out there that can't focus when writing code in Dark Mode? 13 by vucetica | 13 comments< Seeing fellow programmers left and right switching to dark mode and everyone seems very happy. I gave it a try a few times but it just doesn't work. I can't focus. It is not the time that I need to get used to a different syntax highlighting scheme because I switch between editors all the time. I'm perfectly fine as long as the background is lighter than the foreground, so it has to do something with the dark mode itself. Is it that I have to give it more time (so I can stop noticing that "something is wrong"), or simply it doesn't work for some people? And if so, what am I losing (reduced eye fatigue, better sleep...)?

[EU] Any job boards and age-friendly companies for older SW Developers? 4 by nonines | 1 comments< I've spent last year interviewing only to find out that I'm considered too old (I'm 45) for most shops around. They won't spit it out directly of course but people talk and what they say is that I need to be stellar or young to be hired. Companies won't invest in me the slightest bit, so the moment I miss a question in the long interview process I'm out of the door without second thought. So... 1. I might be banging the wrong doors. E.g. FAANGs don't seem to be right. Any companies that don't drink/sell the youth cool-aid? 2. I might be searching at the wrong job boards. Any suggestions welcome. 3. Finally I might be better doing sth else altogether (but what?) rather than fighting a loosing battle against preconceptions that run so deep. Anyway. Thanks for any non-insulting answers in advance. PS: I'm based in EU and I'm a SW Dev working mainly...

Ask HN: Has anybody shipped a web app at scale with 1 DB per account? 31 by bradgessler | 35 comments< A common way of deploying a web application database at scale is to setup a MySQL or Postgres server, create one table for all customers, and have an account_id or owner_if field and let the application code handle security. This makes it easier to run database migrations and upgrade code per customer all at once. I’m curious if anybody has taken the approach of provisioning one database per account? This means you’d have to run migrations per account and keep track of all the migration versions and statuses somewhere. Additionally, if an application has custom fields or columns, the differences would have to be tracked somehow and name space collisions managed. Has anybody done this? Particularly with Rails? What kinda of tools or processes did you learn when you did it? Would you do it again? What are some interesting trade offs between the two approaches?
