Ask the mods. They have flagged my account so that new comments in some threads begin with 0 points. Agree on the upvotes thing; it is a health sign of skepticism.

I'm surprised to see your comment in good health. Everytime I link to Georgia Ede or meatheals I get downvoted to oblivion lol, just as this comment too will (as if there is a vegan bot on HN targeting my comments?).

The upcoming X1 Extreme Gen 2 is what I'd get. If you do Haskell, and venture into FRP land (reflex), then having 32GB of RAM is recommended. (I own the P71)
