   There is this one, https://github.com/mvirkkunen/usb-device/blob/master/README.... which apparently works well enough to power a keyboard: https://github.com/TeXitoi/keyberon

   Thanks for reading. It’s a 2 CPU 4Gb RAM instance. It’s probably over specced...

   This is the CPU load on the server right now: https://imgur.com/a/nuM3CqX Being on HN front page has pushed it up from a baseline of 7.5% utilisation to about 12.5%.

   I gave this a look but the version of Rust is 1.9 from May 2016... There's been 20 releases (excluding patch releases) since then. For a language with such great backwards compatibility seems like it should be kept more up to date.

    This looks great. I love the strictness and improvements over JSON and also the goal of preserving comments. The absence of specified a date type feels like a back compared to TOML though. Without this they end up as strings in all manner o

    This looks like a novel use of Rust. As a Melbournian it's nice to see Scienceworks mentioned in the post.

    I looked at it. As far as I can tell it doesn’t do envelope budgeting with automatic flow. This is the key feature to me and why I went with MoneyWell back in 2008.

    Interesting. I was aware of the CLI but didn't know it worked on FreeBSD.

    This is pretty much what the elementary folks are trying to do https://elementary.io/

    Instabacked! Elementary is doing great work making Linux a viable mainstream alternative to macOS and Windows. It's a huge task but having funding to help them and open source developers is sure to help.

    I does indeed look good (to me) and they have hired a designer that I greatly respect to work on it ( https://dribbble.com/sdw ) but it's an Electron app (goodbye memory) and requires you to hand over your email account

    Interesting. I see it now and I was expecting this to be an issue with switching but I haven't really noticed it. Here are the same words rendered by macOS (9pt Open Sans): http://bitcannon.net/images/2017/ope

    Step one was the PC. For about 6 months I sshed to the PC from my MacBook and used iTerm's tmux integration to do development on that machine. This is phase 2 using that machine without the MacBook. Eventually I'd like to get a no

    It's more compact so makes better use of the space available. Subjectively it's pleasant to look at and if the software supports it there are ligatures to make code look better.

    > The base packages remain stable and supported Problem is they weren't stable. I ran into bugs in the old so called stable packages that were fixed in newer versions.

    You probably have a discrete GPU. The 13" 2013 era MacBook Pros like mine with only Intel graphics can't do 60Hz.
