I've got a late 2013 15" MBP with a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB of ram, 512GB SSD, and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M, and have been using it for 5 years now it and it is a great laptop. Can run chrome, mysql server, web servers, and personal programs without breaking a sweat. The only thing it cannot run are new video games or if you are deep into ML but old games still work great (I played GTA V on it ok when that came out).

Only downside that happened is part of the trackpad stopped clicking and one of the fans starting running crazy loud. Took it in to the apple store and they diagnosed it as a swelling battery (seems like a problem for macs so if it looks like your case is fat, get it checked out). Ended up getting the battery, keyboard, trackpad, case, fans, and potentially the monitor (it looked new or was cleaned extremely well) for $300 which isn't too bad to make it feel like new. I'm probably going to keep this computer for another 5+ years unless it dies.

Would totally recommend and I would definitely not sell it for $600.
I personally find it unnecessarily large. My thumbs/palms are constantly touching the corners.

The 2015 touchpad is plenty large enough to accomodate my needs.
I'm curious, this space is one that interests me and I'd like to see a new spin on it. Do you have a mailing list?
I don't think it's going to happen. The "Rust way" is to simply live with the fact that it's not "batteries included". Cargo means that Rust comes with "batteries reliably delivered" kind of service, and I think that has been more beneficial for the community in the long run.

async / .await are going to turn functions into Futures, and they by themselves don't necessitate an executor any more than the Future trait itself.

Are we doing semantics now? Java is also compiled into bytecode, executed by the JVM. Do you consider Java an interpreted language also?
Things do have intrinsic value based on their utility. Would you say food has value because it keeps you alive, or does your life also have no value? Could it be that you’re willing to trade USD for a quantity of food because the food is more useful?
The gas going into the engine ideally is broken down to hydrogen and carbon monoxide, with some methane. This is also scrubbed of all tars and ash for the safety of your engine. Within the pistons of your generator's engine it is combusted to water and carbon dioxide. Unlike gasoline and diesel which needs to pyrolysis within the engine's cylinders or fuel rail, the syngas has already been broken down to its bare combustable components...so emissions are usually much lower.

That being said, there is a variety in the solid fuels used, and operational and engineering problems to overcome for some waste streams. There are backyard versions that use water to scrub the woodgas, leaving behind large ponds of toxic waste full of PAHs (Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons) and other carcinogens. But the exhaust from the motors is generally better than that of a gas or diesel engine. (Source, I used to work for All Power Labs, where we did a variety of tests on our fuel, exhaust and ash production)
Another thing is that 'System Volume Information' created on removable drives. And Android too creates its directory structure on every mounted drive..
I believe it has to do with namespaces for naming functions vs variables. A lisp-1 has one namespace that encompasses variables and functions. In a lisp-2 they are separate and so it is possible to have a variable with the same name as a function.
Lisp-1 has one namespace for both function and variables. Lisp-2 has separate namespaces

Nice. I was thinking on the same line.

Like UX Pin, Dribble, there should be for backend/front end software architecture.

I liked the site. What's plan on adding more resources?
You said it had value. That’s literally what you wrote. The reason is irrelevant. Value is value.

If you could think of a way to show BTC has value, I’d accept that as a selling point of BTC.
Looks nice! I am a huge fan of https://noteplan.co. They do many things right such as using iCloud for syncing with iOS and markdown seems like a natural choice to me. What I am missing is just what you offer. A focused task with a pomodoro timer... Maybe you should work together?
Please don't do ideological flamewar on HN. I realize you probably didn't intend to, but "conservative populations abstain from birth control, so they hold a tight grip of this country by the power of the womb" is the kind of slur that takes a thread several circles deeper into hell. It's like a snake in snakes and ladders. Please don't do that here.

Building a MMO was my dream for a long time and it's what kept me learning for several years. I haven't accomplished the goal but I will, one day.

H1B is the dumbest worker permit. It's stupid for the holder, stupid for American workers, and stupid in design. If people are needed enough to come here from another country, then they are needed enough to come here without being sponsored by some company. Regardless of who they are, if they were good enough to import, then there will be a business that needs them. Give the power of the permit to the worker and not the company and nearly all problems with the H1B go away. I've had the privilege of working with some amazing H1B workers and some truly terrible ones. It's very obvious which companies are using H1Bs to lower wages and which ones are bringing in workers you truly can't find here. If you can replace an entire department with H1Bs then you're not using H1B as intended.
Do you want a literal list of things you can do with BTC? I feel like your trying to draw me into an argument I never made. I don't think BTC is going to replace USD, I never said it's going to replace USD. But you're in an alternate reality if you don't think people are doing anything with it. What do you think people are doing with BTC? Just buying it and putting it into cold storage forever?

And again, your second question is just baiting for an argument I never made. Of course I mean relative to fiat currency, what else would I have meant?
It is but, when I use your library I also want to make sure that future devs on my team, likely apprentice/junior level, I don't want them to be surprised/distracted. Also, future me, who may review code while drinking.

There is no single true 'human nature'. It depends on social circles. Different environments attract people with different values and characteristics.

It's easy to get caught up in your own social environment and to confuse the nature of the people around you as being representative of human nature in general.

Same experience here, it truly is an absolute joy. In the front-end, we are using TypeScript with vue-property-decorator [1], it made me like Vue even more. I wasn't much of a fan of developing frontends before, but I actually have been having fun using TypeScript + Vue + Tailwind CSS. I'd also like to try out Svelte in the future.

I'm also doing an startup -- we've been working on the product for only two weeks and we just released access for our first pilot customer, with an initial feature set we are very happy with. Apart from the productivity, it's been a long time since I loved programming. Keep in mind I was doing embedded C development for a few years, so my web-fu is a bit rusty lately.

The only thing I miss sometimes is types, especially when refactoring. Java with IntelliJ will spoil you, I guess. I was thinking about going with Kotlin because of this, but I was really digging the Phoenix project structure and I love Ecto.

All in all, a great experience.

China considers Taiwan a breakaway province (historically true one must admit) so it would be more like a civil war. They wouldn't call it conquest since its already Chinese.

It would certainly make for a diplomatic conundrum. Almost nobody recognizes Taiwan as an independent nation.
Since stepping into a new role in the world of full-time Clojure earlier this year I have been almost entirely focussed on launching an ambitious new open source graph database that uses Kafka as the "unbundled" transaction log and provides bitemporal Datalog queries: https://github.com/juxt/crux

Before I made this move, tinkering with Clojure and thinking about databases was just a hobby.

I wasn't around when Crux was initially designed and built, but my primary job so far as the product manager for Crux has been to figure out how we make the most of all the ingenuity and effort that's already gone into it. I also wear many additional hats at the moment: leading the development team, managing community interactions, speaking at events/conferences, creating the marketing, and working on sales & strategic partnerships.

This all keeps me incredibly busy but it is fun and it feels like the right thing for me to be working on and thinking about at this point in my life. I think of it like the perfect side-project that I am very fortunate to be able to work on all day long (and surrounded by excellent & talented people!).
No permanent laundry lines is a very common restriction. Some probably restrict hang-drying clothes at all. Landscaping restrictions like that are common. Fence material/style/height restrictions guaranteed, and unless you're in a damn rich neighborhood with large lots you probably can't even do the full-on 50s dream white picket fence up to the sidewalk, since you aren't allowed to fence your front lawn. And the rich neighborhoods like that probably require brick or metal anyway. Exterior paint options usually restricted. No outbuildings or various restrictions on them very common. Shingle colors and/or material. Everything, really.

It's driven by a turtles-all-the-way-down thing where we're afraid that some future potential buyer of our houses or or neighbors houses will be turned off if they see those things, not necessarily because they care about them per se, but because they either see them as signaling a neighborhood in decline (so, a bad investment) or they're afraid other buyers will see it that way in the future (when they want to sell). As you may notice it's possible to end up in this weird state even when most people don't actually give a damn if you put up a clothes line, but at the same time a lot of them will support restrictions on your doing so, for the above Iocane-powder-scene reasoning.

This all applies in newer neighborhoods, and by newer I mean built after 1985 or so, certainly since 1995. HOAs[1], which are a kind of private hyper-local quasi-governmental thing, are ubiquitous now. Developer buys a big chunk of farmland, runs some squiggly roads through it, builds a bunch of houses (or has them built by other people and companies to whom they sell the lots), maybe a pool and a park (HOA maintained, not city, those are dying with the rise of HOAs—why would I want to pay into a city parks and pools system when I also pay, separately, for the ones provided by my HOA, which are the ones I use the most anyway?), perhaps a golf club and kinda bargain-basement country club thingy if it's a ritzy neighborhood, then sets up an HOA with a bunch of rules that will cover all the houses and their owners, acting effectively as dictator of it until some percentage of the lots are inhabited by owners (HOA members) at which point they take over, to some degree or another.

Further, the HOAs tend to delegate a bunch of stuff to management companies—I mean, even the kinds of busybodies who usually run the HOAs don't have time to do everything. There are fortunes built in those companies—there's real money going around. All this is funded by annual fees charged to the homeowners. Failure to pay will result in liens against your house (can't sell it without paying them off) and even foreclosure, as in the HOA will take your house because you didn't pay your $500/yr or whatever.

Condo associations are similar but with elevators and such to maintain, too, and no lawns to worry about. HOA's basically a condo association for detached housing.

Personally I find embedded (actual embedded as in having 20-100kb to work with, not 4gb Pi’s) far less dumpster fire than web dev; it is constrained and there are only so many options once you studied the specsheets and assembled your circuit. It is often like codegolf but for a lot of money and you cannot have bugs because you cannot (easily) send updates. At least I like that kind of thing.

I hope to find time and tech to advance for me to help the dumpster fire: if you see projects like GuiLite it definitely is possible to make things efficient and solid. So that is me hoping for enough advances in webassembly.

For now, embedded I find a lot more fun.

Insurers often issue reinsurance for/with each other.

Both insurers and general reinsurance firms will some times sell their risk to investors (in the capital markets) through vehicles such as Insurance Linked Securities. An ILS provides one form of risk transfer. There are others.

In both cases, if the risk is tied to say, catastrophe insurance, then this offers (investors) returns uncorrelated with the stock market.
I've built a thing called the Tech Events Network: https://techeventsnetwork.com/cities/ which aggregates and publishes tech events - meetups, conferences, workshops, hackathons, etc - across 50+ cities in the US.

After being an evangelist at Twilio and running a number of my own meetups, I realized that that the biggest problem most groups had was getting the word out. This pulls data from Meetup, Eventbrite, and other places, uses some light ML to choose hashtags, company names, etc, and then tweets the day before and about a week before a given event. There's also a weekly pre-cap email that goes out.

If you're running a tech event in a major city in the US, we help you get the word out.

If you're near a major city in the US - or even just visiting - you can find out what's going on.

As a solution architect visiting clients in Europe and North America, I struggled to capture names and roles of people in meetings and workshops. That led to lots of awkwardness and missed opportunities.

All meeting management apps I found assume participants always get calendar invites, which I found to just not be the case.

So I wrote a small web app that uses qr codes to allow participants in meetings and workshops to introduce themselves, using their phones, on the spot and in a way that persists: https://quickintro.app

I thought I’d be laughed out of the room first time I asked a room full of people to “check in” by scanning a qr code and filling out a form, but no. It worked. So now I’m releasing it for others who might need it.
My anecdotal issue is I did use Taste of the Wild for a year or so before switching to Victors but not long after my male dog developed all sorts of issue, yet can I truly attribute them to the food or his age (14?).

I think the general consensus is that you'd be better using your money to get a construction loan to brace and bolt your home to resist earthquakes. I was quoted $175/month for earthquake insurance. That translates into a $25-30k loan. You can do a lot of structural improvement for that.

I'll admit I'm a little confused by the "pure-Go userland" aspect.

At first I thought this meant a userland consisting of common utilities (ls, grep, the usual GNU suspects) written in Go, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Instead, it seems to be, if you can compile your Go program for AMD64, and it can build without glibc (or any c runtime), then it can be hosted by Gokrazy? Is that right?
Ok, what legitimate, legal use does BTC have where it has an actual advantage over USD, then? If there is none, then that’s what I mean by “BTC is useless.”

My second question was getting at precisely the same point: that fiat currency is strictly superior to BTC.

If you can’t provide a single legitimate use for it other than as a magical money machine, I would take that as evidence that it’s useless.
