I hope they migrate some of the design from mini to the normal version. The mini version looks good with better use of space.

There is at least one report in this HN thread, and some in the forum. 16" is less popular, so fewer reports, I guess. I'm somewhat afraid for it because there is no AppleCare+ in …

I reinstall every time I feel there is too much bloat on my machine. At least 2 times a year. I have everything I need in an installation script (a seperate script for NixOS, Windo…

These days I prefer NixOS, but I use ubuntu most of the time for VMs. NixOS requires a high initial investment, but is so reliable and convenient afterwards. Installing multiple ve…

This is the best answer I've seen. Not going to school gives you more freedom to explore your interests and choose a unique, idiosyncratic path. If you are driven and focused, you …

I had a 1500 euro chair that I hated. I replaced it with a 200 euro chair from Ikea that I now use the most. What is important to me is variation. I have a swopper, a light stool, …

For me, it was not lacking time, but lack of energy. After the first one, it took 3 years before I had enough energy to pick up side projects again, and then the 2nd one came and w…

here is a DIY video with 2 more gentle sound options. It should be standard in cars imho. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv8wqnk_TsA

Backup and Sync is not so great. I wish the Photos backup client was still available, and I'd use that together with InSync. InSync is great and works on most platforms. I've been …

I had a 2017 MBP and the USB speakers I had caused issues. I sold them thinking it was an issue with the speakers, but the next set of USB speakers had the same problem. Eventually…

https://jonaswouters.com Personal blog that I usually don’t promote because it’s about myself and some of my reasoning. Older posts are not even valid anymore and I will revisit th…

The physical phone thing is also my best experience while working remotely. Like you said we would call each other up and leave the line open for hours. We never used a camera, but…

Very relatable. I laughed with number 5 because I'm a leg shaker, but I can't break that habit. Those things are minor and maybe not even something to complain about. For the other…

I'd love to see that. Care to share a photo?

Almost the same story, with some different dates, but I ditched my macs and am fully on NixOS. I loved OSX and the stylish apps, but I noticed I was only using IntelliJ, iTerm and …

I never got nvm working for me, so after a few years on fish, I switched back to ZSH just for nvm. Any tips on how to get it working? I think it had to do bass not working though, …

I liked that one the most, but development seems to have come to a halt. I've seen complaints about payment renewals etc so I'm not taking the risk. It does seem like browser bookm…

I loved your service when it was released. It does need a little modernization and I'm looking forward to when you get there! The feature I miss most from pinboard is tag suggestio…

I've been evaluating different services and for now, I'm liking https://larder.io/ It's not perfect, and no archiving yet, but it's in active development

If only my kids would sleep to 7 am every day... Our youngest (2y) is awake between 5-6am every day. Both go to bed between 7-8pm. Not much time before and after unfortunately.

I can agree that php might not be the nicest or the fastest language, and I like to say choose the right tool for the job, but writing it off just because it's php is stupid. A cou…

If you jump on a new language early enough and are proficient enough to be productive in it, you have a chance to actually land some jobs with it without having to take a pay cut. …

The components are now no longer or less intertwined with others and are therefor more easily used by other projects. Basically like the symfony components are used everywhere. A l…

Is this also the case for crashplan business or PROe? (ceejay in europe).
