ukdeveloper··on Ask HN: What do you think will be “the next big thing”?
Decentralized peer to peer internet, powered by a network of cell phones and other devices. For this to work it likely needs to use middle-out compression.
ukdeveloper··on 2018 Mac Mini Review
In terms of the retail price. More like 30-35%.

The 1TB SSD is a $800 option on the 128GB base model, and a $600 option on the 256GB model.

The 2TB SSD is an even more eye-watering $1600 option from the base model.

ukdeveloper··on Mailchimp: Possible GDPR Related Dark Patterns
Trying to achieve this task via the API is also problematic, accessing the segment is equally slow.

It would be quicker to just go through the entire list - but the member records don't yet have access to the GDPR fields/flags.

I know some of this is mailchimp just not being ready for the regulations, but it does seem like with the development resources they have, they should be able to fix these issues quickly.

ukdeveloper··on Learn web development: Django Web Framework
The tutorial mentions server side rendering is easier using this approach, but doesn't mention how it is done.

Since the html output is minimal, presumably you require something like python-react that pipes the output through a nodejs server?

Presumably building the same in a React SPA using Django, that would also mean maintaining the routing system in two different frameworks at once?

Is this groundhog day? :)

The same page was linked last week with very similar comments:

I do agree with the sentiment that they can't get away with this for long.

I've got a similar Elitebook myself, though a i5 Ivy Bridge with 16GB RAM, and it is a nice machine albeit chunky and heavy.

I also run OS X on it, and it copes very well for a machine that cost ~£200 refurbed - I do sometimes find myself wanting a proper MacBook, but I really find it difficult to justify the cost of them, even used.
