About helloguillecl

Currently Based in Germany. Software Engineer. I started programming in BASIC on an Atari 800XL when I was 6, then I developed my own dial-up BBS and I launched my first website at 16 in 1998. I speak Spanish, English and German.

Currently doing mostly RoR and PHP. Experience in server and network management, using mostly Apache, Ubuntu, Kubernetes and GCP.

I'm currently developing a PMS and a Product Search engine, but I'm available for hire. You can reach me at guillermog (at) netnotion (dot) com.

    Airtag is the reason of why I stil have my favourite hand luggage. I had just sat down on the train from Zurich to Basel. Suddenly, someone sat down in front of me. He looked suspi…

    Something similar happened to me between Essen and Dortmund while trying to get to the airport. The train stoped around 50 minutes between stations without a chance of getting off …

    Funny that I could not load Twitter to see if Cloudflare was down. I rushed to Hacker News, but it was too early. Clicking on “new” did the job to find this post before making it t…

    I agree. But Google has gone in that direction long ago: ads are now harder to distinguish from genuine search results. In many cases, the organic results are buried so deep that t…

    Chat offers a far better experience than using Google—no more searching through spam-filled results, clicking between sponsored links, accepting endless cookie banners, and trying …

    In Germany, calling someone by a crime they have been sentenced of, constitutes defamation.

    A clearer title for this would be: Battery-electric "Infinity Train" will charge itself using potential energy . (Potential energy being stored in the position of the mined ore)

    The problem is that getting those things right is 4x more difficult in a SPA app than a legacy, server rendered, app. - No native back and forward button implementation. Now you mu…

    I love Rails, its been my to-go framework for reference. But I could never get as confortable with Ruby as writing JS or PHP. I do not know the reason.

    I know this exists, but while the implementation in iOs is excellent, I see that a very awkward-looking datepicker shows up in Chrome. Some things that one can think of as missing:…

    I highly support this initiative. One of the many reasons of why frameworks like React are used so extensively is because they provide a bridge for the lack of modern HTML implemen…

    OCR, VLM or LLM for such important use cases seems like a a problem we should not have in 2025. The real solution would be to have machine readable data embedded in those PDFs, and…

    Most of the time, if I want to rely on reviews for a restaurant or hotel choice, I go straight to the 1 to 3 star reviews. If those are complains like "waiter was not nice", "they …

    I used Sublime for coding before switching to VS Code for coding, but I could never leave Sublime text for some use cases. For example: The possibility to edit large SQL dump files…

    I love git and I find no reason to look for anything else. Most of the complains I hear from git is from people that could not learn its logic. I think a lot of things could be bui…

    Actually this sounds like common law to me. But yes, this should be enough to me. However, if I consent to a User Agreement, do you really think they keep a copy of the specific ve…

    Question: How do I prove to the authorities that a subscriber has given consent? I imagine that an attribute on my "users" table is not enough?

    The CLI interface of git is very good at enforcing you to be aware of the underlying model (local state and the repo’s history). This allows for the user to draw an accurate user-m…
