> It's natural to feel that way sometimes, but the perception that everything and everyone looks the same is likely more a result of the ubiquity of certain trends and designs, rather than an actual lack of diversity. We live in a g

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 our country, and I had to pay up to 700 euro for t

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, Windows & Mac) that I just need to run after reinstall to get

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 versions of software for development is convenient without ha

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 can get farther down a road than most others will beca

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, an Ikea chair, a walking treadmill and sit/standing des

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 we were even more exhausted. Now 3 years later (6 years total

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 using it since dropbox lost a bunch of my importa

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, I just used AUX to connect them.

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 I went to the office at least once every other week. I stil

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 cases, like 2. It's hard to deal with peopl

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 the browser most of the time. r/unixporn made me wishin

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, so the plugin didn't work. Now that I'm on NixOS I

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 bookmarks is the safest bet.

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 suggestions in the extension/bookmarklet, and perhaps a lit

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 couple of months back there was this php sucks article abo

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. Letting people know and engaging in the community is a requi

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 little competition or alternatives is always good.

There is some difference in mentality between dads. Especially "work is just work"-father and actually caring about your career. Caring about your career doesn't make you a bad father. I've always preferred to be with my

It's easier when most of the employees are remote. If you've got an office where most of the action happens, the remote employees might start feeling like outsiders. I think that is one of the hardest things to overcome.
