Re: How to upgrade to an SSD with minimal effort

I have to admit I have no idea :/
You might have to look for another partition tool if Gparted does not support it.

Re: DecimalTextbox for Windows Forms

Daniel Hölbling — Thu, 26 Apr 2018 06:22:27 -0000

This is very old code. This could be condensed to if (IsDecimal() && !IsDecimalZero()) { return; }

As I said - old code so not 100% sure but I think the idea here was to reset the TextBox when it gains focus to zero..

Re: Configuring Kong health-checks in Kubernetes

Daniel Hölbling — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 09:56:52 -0000

Yes exactly and that's what I have to test before I'd suggest switching to a http based health check again :)

Re: Configuring Kong health-checks in Kubernetes

Yes that makes total sense - I just mean that this is a mixture of responsibilities. A failed health check for me means i'll kill the instance and replace it with a new one (automatically and within seconds).

If the instance is running without problems but the database is dead I'd be killing instances left and right until the DB is back up (needlessly introducing CPU load - adversely affecting other systems). Even though I could just keep them running and they do the best they can..
(A database downtime is a catastrophic event in any case - but killing my applications only introduces load - I expect the apps to reconnect)

Hi Thibault - thanks for the info. I'll update the Blogpost once I have tested this.

But out of curiousity - Kong can work with in-mem data only (see their update procedure). Why whould I report unhealthy if the database connection is down? That's a great way to down the whole service just for some connectivity issues.

Thanks a lot - yes you are right it works in chrome canary!

Daniel Hölbling — Mon, 25 Dec 2017 06:36:07 -0000

Had the issue in Chrome and tried Firefox..
Firefox for me has something like Mouse acceleration (and I don't have it on in Windows) - there is juttery and jumping movement.. Which makes this really hard..
Still -great work. Can't wait for v2!

Glad it helped!

Hi, thanks for the kind words.
Yes I found that out about monitoring dd too but felt like it's not really that relevant to the whole process and people will freak out about the sudo kill anyways ;)

Whats missing from this list seems to be your Tripod. Out of curiosity I want to ask what you are using since you travel so much.

Re: And back to iOS - zerokspot.com

Daniel Hölbling — Mon, 12 Oct 2015 04:51:08 -0000

Same here. I switched from my iPhone 5 to the Nexus 5 more than a year ago and this time around I decided to go for the 6s too since the new Nexus 5x just looks like more of the same to the N5.
And the camera and battery life on the N5 are just abysmal.

Re: BMW i8 vs. Tesla P85D Insane Mode

Daniel Hölbling — Wed, 05 Aug 2015 03:16:40 -0000

Eigentlich ist der i8 die Konsequente weiterentwicklung des Sportwagens - da geht es nicht um Emissionen (ok netter Nebeneffekt) oder Verbrauch - das sind Leute die sonst einen v8 Saugmotor fahren würden mit 20L Super-Plus verbrauch weil das einfach das beste Fahrerlebnis ist. Und das ist die stärke des i8 - er ist ein grandioser Sportwagen der die Hybrid Technologie nutzt um eben ein besserer Sportwagen zu sein.

Deshalb find ich den vergleich hier auch irgendwie sinnfrei - der BMW tritt nicht an um irgendwas zu ersetzen - sondern einfach um ein moderner Sportwagen zu sein.

Re: jQuery.validate and Microsofts unobtrusive validation don’t play well together

Daniel Hölbling — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 16:13:26 -0000

I am really amazed that this is still an issue. I wrote this post 4 years ago when the validator was brand new and they still haven't fixed this? Crazy..

Have you thought about buying a filter-system like the Lee Filter holder? That way you at least don't have to buy the filter glass multiple times. I have one square ND 1000 + 2-3 adapter rings that go all conveniently into one bag and am pretty happy with the system.

Re: Using git from Powershell just got easier: Posh-git

Daniel Hölbling — Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:11:27 -0000

Hi David,
Posh-GIt is just a shell extension to making your life easier working with git on the commandline. You are still using msysgit - so typing gitk will bring up gitk just as usual.
Posh-git only makes auto-completion and other stuff work with git.

I frequently use SourceTree, gitk and the commandline git together because most of the time it's easier to do from the commandline, but visualizing the trees is simpler with a gui.

Glad it helped! I just hope I find a way to create mappings like these for Windows - because so far I haven't found a way to do so.

Re: Writer’s Favorite Lens – The Canon 24-105mm f/4

Daniel Hölbling — Sun, 21 Dec 2014 20:01:34 -0000

The step up and down filters are really annoying to me. I never seem to get them off the filter when using the low-profile filters or worse a Circular-Polarizer.. Terrible. I ended up going with a filter-holder System that just takes 100x100mm filters and has different adapter rings (Lee and Cokin make these)

Re: Rails .to_json nested includes and methods

Daniel Hölbling — Fri, 05 Dec 2014 07:00:45 -0000

Glad it helped! Yes information in Rails tends to outdate quite fast. I would also suggest you use the ActiveModel::Serializer Project if you do a lot of custom json serialization.

I already backed them when they announced slide and clutch... Never had much use for the capture.. But straps are a whole other thing B-)

Please keep in mind that this post is now more than 3 years old and I do sincerely hope Microsoft has since fixed this issue in their validations. :)

Re: CanCan: Beware of symbol conditions

Daniel Hölbling — Tue, 27 May 2014 03:44:19 -0000

Thanks a lot.. I somehow didn't think about this as a bug, but you are absolutely right - there is no real useful scenario where you'd want this behavior.

Re: How to Use Balance in Your Landscape Photography Composition

Daniel Hölbling — Thu, 22 May 2014 03:46:12 -0000

Can't agree more with the "go handheld" idea.. First thing I always try to do when I don't have a clear composition in mind is setting the ISO to a high setting on my camera and running around taking test shots from various angles to find something I like.. Then I go back and get the tripod to that location and do the shot..
