- nottorp 3y agoMost average HNers should get 32 or 64 Gb. You can use a 16 Gb machine but you'll be limited. I bought a M2 Mac Mini with 16 Gb to test the platform. There's a Studio with 64 Gb in my future ;)
- scarface_74 3y agoYou assume that “most HNers” use their computers outside of work and a work provided laptop for anything processor or memory intensive. I use mine exclusively for a side contract and that’s the only reason I bought it. I’m either using VSCode with Python or Node and occasionally to build Lambdas in a Docker Amazon Linux 2 container. If I need more compute than that on my side project, I spin up a Cloud 9 instance on my client’s account.
- nottorp 3y agoIf you only do Facebook you don't need a computer at all? "Most HNers" mess with things I think.
- scarface_74 3y agoSo you think most “HNers” spend most of their waking time outside of work on computers outside of gaming? The last thing I want to do is look at a computer for free and do anything “productive” after spending all day at work.
