This is why I'm probably going to opt for a maxed out 2015 Macbook Pro. Yes, I know I'm paying for "old" hardware but I don't use VMs or compile anything heavy so it should last me a while. After selling my current

Hm. Might get a maxed out refurbished 2015 Macbook, seems like it's around $500 cheaper.

Do you know if refurbished Macs commonly have scuff marks or other wear?

Every time Soylent is on HN people say this. Why don't people understand? It's so simple: Soylent is for meals you don't care about but need. It's not a) the ONLY food you can eat or b) supposed to replace all meals. I o

Heh, my "upgrade" planned for this year is going to be a maxed out 2015 Macbook. Hope it lasts forever.

I think I'll bite the bullet and get the non-Touch Pro and a USB Hub.

The only problem with the non-Touch Pro is the lack of ports :/ Otherwise I'd get one right now.

That's not GitHub but the Atom maintainers' commit style.

The non-Touch Pro is perfect... except for the lack of ports. If it had 4 USB-C and/or USB/HDMI/etc posts it'd be awesome.

A sorta-maxed out non-Touch 13" Pro looks perfect except the lack of ports :/

I was either happy/neutral about everything but the price... not sure what to do now. I'm just too used to macOS and don't feel like making the switch to Windows or Linux.

How about trying to actually do it? I agree self-help books are mostly fluff that can be said in half the length, but I do think "Deep Work" is a useful technique. One problem I did have with the book was that Deep Work might not

There's sort of a silver bullet: Individual offices around an open area. Want to work alone? Close door. Want to work alone but be aware of things going on? Leave the door open. Can't stand working alone? Go to the open area.

I stand by the idea proposed by Cal Newport that the best way to do great work is to do "Deep Work"—large (but not all day) amounts of no-distraction, in-the-zone work. Harder to do than ever, but when I can do it I'm amazed.

Another thread where most commenters will advocate for remote work and/or private offices. I agree. Dan Luu recently said this about Peopleware, which advocates for offices and is highly regarded: > This book seemed convincing when

The lack of activity in the issue is sadly not rare for npm.

Because people who make "awesome X" and "curated" lists do it for the GitHub stars and just accept any suggestions/PRs without checking if they're good or not.

I'm really in need of a new Macbook and don't use Esc that much... but Karabiner/Seil don't support Sierra yet so I can't do Caps Lock -> Esc + Ctrl (please someone correct me if I'm wrong). That said, I hav

Read a lot, study history, and program whatever I wish existed when possible.

Of course Elixir is more welcoming—the language is "practically" functional, easy, and made for building stuff. Haskell's purity and academic background is definitely a big impact on its culture.

They're just another place to do homework or work now. Not sure where people discuss things in real life nowadays.

FWIW cal doesn't say you should schedule ever minute perfectly, just that you should have a flexible plan of what you wanna do every hour (can include just chilling)

And Ruby, and Python. Don't forget the guy that got fired from his job for making a "forking" joke at PyCon.

It's happened in Ruby and Python as well—so if you hate it stay away from dynamic web languages with low entry levels.
