Oh I completely missed "The Website That Hacker News Is Afraid to Discuss". I'm definitely not afraid to discuss John Gruber's blog Daring Fireball, I'm just not interested.

Which version? I have a X1 Carbon from, uhh, 2017? It supports S3 sleep. I'd think about an upgrade, if only I wasn't worried about sleep issues. I run Debian if that makes any difference. Actually now that I think about it, my vi

Ok, fine: ceramics. I used to go when I lived in Warsaw and there was a pay-monthly-and-stay-as-long-as-you-want. Now I've moved and all the ceramics places charge per hour, which, apart from being expensive, is much less fun. I hear t

Tell me more please: how does one use types in Python? Unfortunately I write Python professionally these days (it is the language that has all the libraries) and hate it with a passion.
