Having the 24-core 2970x and can comfirm, it is very nice for Rust development.

How do you convert lossy music to another lossy format? I'm having my music encoded in 96kbps opus in my phone and it is much more convenient to encode them from flac than another lossy format. I have hundreds of albums bought and ripp

I really wish. At least the T490 and P-series are still available with replaceable RAM modules.

And I'll add the obligatory comment how us ThinkPad users enjoy our keyboard with the TrackPoint, experience no other manufacturer provide. I'd just remove the touchpad for more keys to the keyboard.

I've been using a desktop at work for the last ten years and hopefully to the foreseeable future. With a price of a MacBook pro you get 16-24 cores, good cooling facilities, 32-64 GB of RAM and excellent Linux support.

And get a refurbished T440p with a quad core CPU that's fast and costs you a couple of hundred of euros. Replace parts when they break. No need to pay the premium for the new models.

At least Lenovo just ditched their Touchbar after the disastrous 2nd generation of X1 Carbon, never to be seen again. Also did a mistake with the 2014 series of ThinkPad by removing the mouse buttons due to a bigger touchpad, just to give t

The company wants much lower resource usage per node and easy integration with other languages.

I've been trying a couple of approaches already, but first we're aiming correctness and after that async/await. Many libraries use tokio::spawn behind the scenes, so it seems we need compat from 0.1 to 0.3 and back to 0.1 to

We have the whole team waiting for this to land. We're probably going with nightly already due to the problems fitting Futures 0.1 model to our codebase. Very nice to hear.

We've been rewriting a big Scala code base to Rust now since January and the team is advancing in a nice pace. Our plan was: - Take one part of the system to rewrite over JNA - Run a massive amount of Scala tests against the new code -

Having a GC also kind of makes it nasty to write libraries to other GC'd languages. In Rust all of this is very easy, and you can get the speed bump to your Ruby/Python/JavaScript libraries using a modern and safe language.

Or if you find spacemacs to be too heavy and confusing, doom emacs is a good alternative with its beautiful Makefile system. https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs

My phone is an important part of my diabetes control. Travelling without or giving it away is not an option. I'll survive without it, but will lose the extra control of glucose in an already stressful situation.

The saddest thing is this will be the sole reason to not travel to US. Sad, because I have family there now and I do love the people and the culture.

I have the 9cell battery even with the X230 and always carrying it by grabbing from the battery. I really feel it's much nicer to travel with this than my slimmer T25, but of course it's subjective.

They are thick and sturdy. That's what I like about them. Thick, but with a 35W CPU that can do miracles. Utilitarian piece of hardware so far away of thin modern laptops, I just like them a lot.

P.S. Oh, and I found my information from `man ifconfig` and #openbsd IRC channel.

I have one of the supported cards[0], so it's quite straightforward: Check the APN from your operator's settings. - Try the card first in a phone. Preferably turn on the SIM lock and change the PIN code. - Insert the card to the l

Kind of funny, but you might consider getting a refurbished ThinkPad from a couple of years ago. If you're ready to replace some parts, a T440p will be fast and good for years to come. I got my X230 and it's so fast I really quest

Same here. Although for work I prefer a workstation with enough cores for compilation. Just bought an X230, put OpenBSD in it and it is just perfect in the summer house. Put a SIM card in it and connect to the internet from everywhere. Supe

In Germany we have four pumps available for looping with AndroidAPS: Roche Accu-Chek Combo and Insight Sooil Dana R and Dana RS From these Sooil is the only one who allows looping. Been using one for a month now and there is no going back.

For me it blocks most of the time. Sometimes I notice the advertisement coming directly from Youtube servers and passing through. This only seems to happen when using native YouTube clients...

I'm just a different crowd! I live in UNIX and for me editing a few text files is much simpler than having a bloated OS. And why I said the thing about Apple originally is that it seems to be almost a meme that every single thread abou

Make sure you have a supported chipset, e.g. an intel one. Some cards need extra firmware, which you'll get in the first boot, so until that a network cable is needed. One of the best things about OpenBSD is how connecting to the WiFi

I just got a ThinkPad X230 with an IPS screen and an i7 CPU for 180 euros. It's the last one with a non-ULV CPU, which means it's still quite fast. And it all works perfectly, except maybe the bluetooth and fingerprint reader. Wit

(P.S. why every OS thread in HN always turns into discussion about Apple?)
