kmorgh··on Two million checkboxes (written in Elixir)
Is this going to be a thing now where someone releases a doubled version every week?

I would like that.

kmorgh··on Open-Sourcing our Firmware
Except Belgian "Dutch" is called Flemish. And is different enough from the other Dutch to warrant its own i18n.

Belgium is an exceptional case but I'm sure you can find more.

kmorgh··on MIVD boss: Meet without a smartphone, risk of espionage too great

I agree, the question is unfortunately in many of these cases. Will the lawsuits actually cost us billions, or will we get a slap on the wrist and actually be better off in the end if we take that hit. Because we can grow faster now. See Google or Microsoft anti-trust.

Could get close to a full day of work on the X1 Carbon Yoga Gen2. T480s not so much, but also packs a lot more punch. x1s seem to have best portability
kmorgh··on Show HN: SpacedTime – Remember the important things in your life
How about 3rd party storage through the users own dropbox, gdrive, 1drive. Then it's still sort of self hosted

Also easy to use same data across devices.

Not sure on the syncing strategy/performance

kmorgh··on What I Wish I Knew When Learning Haskell
I like this reference style of documentation, it tries to give a full overview of everything there is. Which is usually what I'm looking for. The sections are also concise.
