Lost in Hamburg - Part 1

Autor: -
V Hamburku jsem byl už asi posedmé. Není to moc útulné ani zajímavé město. Většinou teda trávím čas u mé tety a strýce v nedaleké vesnici v okrsku Rellingen. Dělám babysitting bratrance, uklízím, jezdím nakupovat a spoustu dalších zábavných věcí, co se běžně dělají o prázdninách.

Do centra to trvá asi 40 minut vlakem a navíc to stojí 6.20 eur, takže tam za jedu většinou jenom jednou. Mám ale (asi po čtvrté iteraci) už takovou tradiční cestu.

Nejprve navštívím Alster, což je přítok Labe.
Odtamtud jdu na Jungfernstieg, takovou pěknou promenádu. Pak novorenesanční radnice a hned poté mám sraz s mou starou partou.

Tedy Petrem,
 Katharinou,
 Nikolaiem (ten byl ale trošku mimo)
  a nakonec i Michalem.

V Sankt Michaeliskirche jsem dokonce vyšel na 123m vysokou věž, chtělo to přes 460 schodů. Nahoře byl strašně silný vítr, až jsem se bál držet mobil v ruce.
Tahle uh, žádný jméno nemá.

Normálně bych potom šel do Reeperbahn, historické (ale vlastně i současné) ulice prostitutek, kde poprvé hráli Beatles, ale dneska jsem musel na popud tety jet se podívat na technickou univerzitu do Harburgu, abych jí mohl říct, že tam skutečně nechci studovat.
 Harburg je ale poměrně hezký.

Co jsem ale stihl, byla moje obchůzka knihkupectví. Otázka je teda proč chodím do knihkupectví, když na twitteru stejnak sleduju všechna nakladatelství, ale občas mě něco (příjemně i nepříjemně) překvapí.
Zabil jsem také hodinu v Saturnu, šestipatrovém obchodu s elektronikou, co měl mimo jiné i asijské filmy.

Microsoftí surface book s neskutečným 3:2 poměrem stran, fakt bych to chtěl mít s linuxem.
Úplně nakonec radnice. Byl jsem na cestách asi 9 hodin v kuse. Nejhorší je, že dům tety je asi půl hodiny od zastávky, takže jsem se tam musel doplazit v osm večer.

Creating my own Point of Sale system, Part 0: Start

I had several topics I wanted to write about (both from my dabblings in machine learning and travel stories), but a more urgent thing came up. With a change in Czech legislature, all shopkeepers are now required to authorize all transactions at the Ministry of Finances' servers. They call it EET - Elektronicka Evidence Trzeb. (electronic records of sales) Sadly, POS  just reminds me of part-of-speech tags. To deal with the ambiguity, I'll just refer to it as EET system, even though it contains more. So what exactly is EET? From march on, every time we make a sale, we have to contact their servers and send them the amount with our hashed ID we got from them by registering. Afterwards, they send an unique receipt ID back, which we have to print and give to the customer. The customer can then at any point check the receipt on their website. The specifications are all published and the state doesn't require any license to use it. It's rather annoying and requires c

Creating my own Point of Sale system, Part 1: Design

This took some time, I'm (mostly) back on track. When I chatted with my SI friends, the first thing I noticed was they asked a fuckton of questions. They grilled me about specifications, use cases, reliability or scalability. They also gave insane price quotes but I'll skip over that. The reason is simple: Specifications save time. I am definitely not used to that. I'm used to quickly hacking together a sqlite database for a chatbot in python and iterating bugfixes/feature additions as I go. So I thought, "Why not do it properly for once?" Well, that was also a mistake. The first thing one notices when starting a programming project is the sheer number of decisions. From the programming language to data types, databases and used design patterns, each choice has several impacts and you don't even know the right use case if you don't work with them for some time. So let's start with the language. I am quite fluent with Python (as in, I can solve mo

One of the things I always had problems with was getting along with fellow Vietnamese. At some point I actually hated them. It's hard to name the main reason, so I'll try to talk around it instead. We start with the context. Many Vietnamese (at least the ones I know) came to the Czech Republic from Russia after the split of Czechoslovakia, because it was relatively easy to slip though the borders. They mostly had a similar background - not particularly educated, but with a ruthless (they are fucking brutal  and will stop at nothing to succeed) business sense and a desire for financial security. The main income was selling fake  brand clothes at the market, smuggling other Vietnamese and tax evasion. My parents sold vegetables and fruit, which was at the time kinda good (after 10 years, we had our own flat, even though we came with 1000$), but could not compare to clothes. As a comparison, there was a family who lives next to us that arrived at the same time with the same amount
