mpcannabravaon Rust 1.65.0

Doesn't rust feel a bit too heavy weight? It feels like the language packs too much firepower, can there be downsides to that? C long life seems to be, in part, because of its simplicity.

mpcannabravaon 'Soleus pushup' fuels metabolism for hours while sitting

May I suggest an alternative (more accurate) headline?

"Sedentary people who do calf raises while sitting for 2 to 4 hours show 50% less blood glucose than those who just sit. "

That's terrible science, a waste of brainpower and clickbait.

mpcannabravaon Ask HN: Is there a developer laptop that does not suck and is not a Mac in 2022?

Quite honestly I don't know what people are doing to their laptops to say anything bad about the Dell XPS. Statistically, it seems the overwhelming majority agrees they're great though.

I've never even had to call customer support, I've been running PopOS on a specced out XPS15 for years which I installed myself, overriding the factory-installed Windows with no issues whatsoever (honestly just one minor firmware detail that was easily solved).

mpcannabravaon Why Is the Web So Monotonous? Google

What are your best links to the dark, beautiful corners of the internet?

mpcannabravaon Tell HN: I used the same computer since 2007 (with minor upgrades)

Also Brazilian, I remember each and every time I was able to upgrade my computer. So much bliss. Living in the US now things are so much easier that you lose appreciation for what you're talking about. Keep the hustle going but allow yourself to improve your setup the second you can. The computer is the sword of the modern worker. If you were a samurai would you be swinging around some decade-old weapon?

mpcannabravaon Tell HN: I used the same computer since 2007 (with minor upgrades)

A very honest answer. However each person's reality will dictate what they can do.

mpcannabravaon Apple Unveils M2

Fwiw, I have a nearly-maxed-out brand new mbpro m1 and can't stand OSx so it's collecting dust as my similar specs 1 year old XPS i9 with PopOS sees 12h of daily use.

Of course an m1's battery life is better. Everything else sucks in comparison imo but I admit this is very subjective.

mpcannabravaon Learnings from 5 years of tech startup code audits

Although I strongly agree with it in principle, I'm growing seriously tired of the "simpler is better" argument. It hides all the nuance, hard work and, guess what, complexity, that goes into making something simple.

Simplicity is different to each person. What seems like unnecessary abstractions with complex inner workings often exist to actually hide other complexity away.

Know the in and outs of Kubernetes? Maybe it's easier (simpler) for you than directly provisioning different pieces of infra.

Have a team of over 10 [1] working on the same monolithic codebase? Productivity while maintaining sane separation of concerns might increase going for a more domain-service-oriented architecture [2].

How can we teach what simplicity is instead of just calling it better or saying arrogant platitudes like KISS?

[1] yes, the number is that low, and often lower [2] yes, "micro" services does seem like a mistake in most cases

mpcannabravaon Switching from macOS to Pop_OS

I'm a very happy Pop OS user for the last year and other Linux flavors long before that. Windows as a kid because where I grew up the Apple ecosystem is just prohibitively expensive.

OSS is the future, please support it. Apple won't be around forever, OSS will.

The work System76 is doing is phenomenal.

mpcannabravaon Nuclear power is the best climate-change solution

So happy this is finally published as a WSJ headline. (hence, one assumes, starting to get public acceptance as a reasonable policy)

mpcannabravaon Why I don't like Tailwind CSS

I skipped to the "what should you do instead" and the code examples the guy gives are laughable. Would rather have that in your code or a few utility classes in your components?

mpcannabravaon Vitamin D insufficiency may account for almost 90% of Covid-19 deaths

Please don't upvote this. [with all due respect to the OP]

The one-page "paper" doesn't even mention stats for control group and what it does mention is completely inconclusive.

BTW most people in the world who are quarantining have Vit D insufficiency/deficiency right now.

PS.: just get your daily 15 min of sun to be safe.

mpcannabravaon TailwindCSS v2.0

Lol... Incompatibility with IE11 touted as a feature is really good.
