I've seen a F150 once in my life, and that's pretty much the only pickup truck I've ever seen (Bordeaux, France).

What happened to the last day of Office 365?

99% of the time, Slack is nothing more but a glorified, shitty messaging client. And most people I know don't even know why they're using slack, it's just that it's the tool they think everybody uses, and they don't really see why they should look elsewhere.

Notch released a video of the Minecraft development history, that's when I first heard of Gource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRjTyRly5WA

It's been tested already, and proven to be working really well.

Here's a similar experiment from last year: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/19/world/asia/four-day-workw...

But then it's not as crisp looking :(

More importantly, Android's pattern draw allows the user to pass on an already traced line. That way you can't guess the pattern just by looking at the screen smudges.

I've pondered quite a great deal about this very same question. I'm the owner of a 2015 MacBook Air, and I'll probably won't buy another MacBook when mine dies.

What I'll definitely do is get a Thinkpad Carbon X1 and put elementary OS on it. The Thinkpad line has been around for ages and are praised upon. It's fairly linux-friendly, and elementary OS is a great distro, stable enough to work on, and its polish and attention to detail resonates with a MacOS user.

I've been using elementary OS on a VM in my gaming PC and it's been working flawlessly. Really like this distro.

I also love bitmap fonts, but when you're switching screen sizes it's annoying to have to change your config each time.

Have you managed to handle multilingual sites? I've browsed through Gridsome's documentation but couldn't find any info on that.

Laravel's documentation is also great to read. It's well done, concise enough and presented in a pleasant manner.

Unrelated, are you keyle from the old demoscene days? If so nice to see you here, we haven't talked in 15 years.

Rockbox + Sansa Clip+ is absolutely amazing. I wish mine was still alive :(

Browser integration is great. There a a few sites in which it can't autocomplete, and I wish I had the ability to "program" it like you can do on KeePassXC. In KeePassXC, you can specify a chain of commands in a string, with hardcoded elements, like "{USERNAME}{TAB}1979-05-22{TAB}{PASSWORD}", and it's really good. The Android app work really well too.

Apart from that, it's been audited, and praised on HN multiple times.

I've switched from KeePassXC, stored on my Google Drive with an offline key file, to BitWarden last month. I previously was a customer of LastPass and switched to KeePassXC after being tired of LastPass' UI mess.

Anyways, BitWarden works absolutely flawlessly. There are a few things here and there that I'd wish it had, like the ability to create templates for custom categories, but apart from that, it does an amazing job. The websites autocomplete works really well, and I was pleased to see that I can unlock my vault on my phone with my fingerprint reader.

Migrating data from KeePassXC to BitWarden went smoothly. I took a moment to clean my database and reorganize a few stuff. The database takes a bit of time to load, but nothing that's a real bother.

The only thing I don't store in BitWarden is the 2FA TOTP I use (mainly Google Authenticator) as I feel it breaks the entire concept for 2FA. I've seen people on HN do it, but to me it just feels wrong.

I was eager to test it as I always like a new monospaced font, but it feels "bold" on MacOS (VS Code).

IBM Plex Mono has been my font of choice for the past 2 years, after many years of using Ubuntu Mono.

Notable is amazing. I spent weeks trying to find a good note taking app until I stumbled upon Notable. It works really well.

Before that, I was using a bunch of .md files stored in a Github repo. ;)

Same here. I've been a LastPass user for years before switching to KeepassXC. Actually, one of the things that made me switch is the browser extension. As a web developer, I had a hard time keeping all my sessions open (I had a rather strict policy at the time) between my browser sessions.

So I switched to KeepassXC, which allows me to have a cross-platform app, and the database is stored inside my Google Drive. I also use a security file that's kept out of the Google Drive as another security layer.

Oh, and the auto-type feature of KeepassXC is amazing. Some sites have a weird username/password combo scheme, so I can program KeepassXC to enter the correct keystrokes for a given website. Works perfectly.

Not feeling pain can have some really disabiliting effect on one's life. A rather famous player in the Counter-Strike community suffers from a rare genetic disease that make him feel much less pain than normal. He started to scratch his nose out of habit when he was a kid, and eventually it came off over the course of years of scratching. His name is lo0p__ : https://www.twitch.tv/lo0p__

Edit: You can see him explain the effects of not feeling pain in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XalQkahQbpE

DF seems amazing but the learning curve is so steep it's discouraging.

I've yet to find a base building game that feels fair and does not put so much pressure on the player. Tried Prison Architect but my prison got burnt to the ground because guards were on strike (and they announced it 3 hours before while it takes 5 hours to be able to offer them a raise). Tried Oxygen Not Included but the water behaves SO erratically that my whole base got flooded because one of my minions stepped on the wrong tile (and it seems like the water keeps on expanding like a gaz, not like a fluid) and they were all frozen. Tried Don't Starve and Banished, and these felt so unfair (I hate dying because I didn't plan for something I couldn't guess 140 turns before).

Base Building Games are hard to program, I agree, but I don't feel they should be hard to play and enjoy.

I'm a web developer and lately I've been using less and less Photoshop, which was the sole reason I kept using a mac as my main dev platform.

I'm really wondering if my next machine is going to be a mac. I'm pretty sure I could be as productive with a beefy IBM Thinkpad or a Dell XPS running Ubuntu.

I'm a web developer / gamer. My guilty pleasure is leatherworking. :)

Could you give us a few pointer on how you prefer working with Spacemacs rather than with VS Code?

I've tried Vim a few times but got turned off by the slow process of learning the multiple keyboard shortcuts to do a simple task.

Jason Fung is Canadian nephrologist. He's been working with obese and type 2 diabetes patients for years. He's been advocating fasting and time-restricted eating for years to fight obesity and diabetes. He's mostly known for this book "The Obesity Code" in which he details how modern eating habits are wrong and the main cause for the obesity epidemic.

I hope I summed it up well. You might want to look him up on Youtube, he has some really interesting talks.

I use Netlify for website (https://www.primative.net), which is generated thanks to Hugo.

The ability to be able to publish using a simple `git push` and let them do all the work (including assets minification and bundling) is nothing short but amazing. Their dashboard is also really cool. Having the possibility to test a merge request without disrupting the live site, lock a deploy to a specific commit, or see the deployment live. It's simply amazing.

And their customer support is also great. Just yesterday I had a problem with Hugo not compiling my SCSS on their hand and I had two people trying to help me super quickly.

Netlify is a service I can't stop praising because they're just great on all fronts.

I've quickly played with it just now and I can't see how you could use Vapid to create new blog posts. It seems to be a simple dashboard for existing content, but I couldn't figure out how to create new content.

Same here. The fact that you can request for a closed beta access suggest that it's not something you could host yourself, but at the end of the page it shows how to test it yourself. Pretty confusing.

Edit: It says on the medium post: "This is a great way to get familiar with the app, and prep your site(s) for deploying on the Vapid hosted service." So yeah looks like it's going to be a SaSS.

Kirby is really good. I've tried it a few weeks ago for a simple website (for which I would have used Wordpress) and it did the job perfectly. It's fast, efficient, has a great documentation and is really easy to set up. I have nothing bad to say about this.

Discord is MUCH better than Slack. But since it's primarily aimed at the gaming community it doesn't get the same audience.

I personally use Hugo with Forestry. It's not perfect but it does the job. I'm waiting on the next major version of NetlifyCMS which should handle multi-lingual websites.
