Makes me really wish I could find that wallet I mined 50 bitcoin into from my laptop back in 2009 and then got bored of because they were essentially worthless.

Interesting. I bought a 13900 (non-k) in mid April this year for a new server build. It ran fine for a couple of weeks and then started randomly crashing. Having never had a cpu go bad on me before and not having another one laying around to test with, it took me a long time to figure out what the issue was. Finally, by the end of May, I had ruled everything else out and RMA’d it. The system has been running fine ever since.

I assumed I had just got a bad unit. Now I’m wondering if this might have been the cause.

I raised some money via angel list at my last startup. From my perspective, it is legit. We certainly received the money.

I’ve driven an ev for the last 3 years (over 100k kms) and find my tires last about half as long. So yes, it has a big impact.

I feel like this is location dependent. My wife and I are in our mid 30s with two kids (13 and 9). Most of our friends are in roughly the same situation. I’m the oldest of 6 (by quite a few years) and only the youngest (age 21) of my siblings is childless. My kids have 9 first cousins so far. But we all live in rural parts of eastern Canada. I can honestly say, I don’t know many couples without kids. However, being a family with kids attracts families with kids. So it’s hard to say.

I attempted to build this a number of years ago but quickly got frustrated with the inconsistency of how packages are laid out and the unreliability of the information in package.json. Good job if you sorted it out though.

My company has a budget for health and wellness that I use for my GoodLife gym membership. GoodLife doesn’t send receipts and instead makes you go to their website, fill in a bunch of information, and request the receipt be emailed to you. So I made a little app that simply fills in the form automatically every two weeks. I set it up on GitHub actions and now I don’t have this annoyance to deal with. It’s pretty small but made my life better.

Not much for instructions but it’s here is anyone is interested. https://github.com/jpatters/goodlife-receipts

Cool. I did the same thing for my office building except I had Twilio post to our work slack with buttons that we could click to let them in or not. It was a really fun little afternoon project one day.

Thank you for the offer. I wasn’t previously aware that it was open source. I’ll probably give that a try first.

> and since neither libgit2 or go-git supports it

libgit2 already supports filters and that’s all you need to build lfs support (actually, you don’t even really need to use them if you don’t want to). Lfs itself is not a feature of git. It’s a specification that defines a protocol for replacing large files with pointers (via the use of the smudge and clean filters) and uploading said large files to another location.

Source: I am the cofounder and former CTO of forestry.io, a git backed content management system, and I implemented lfs support in conjunction with libgit2 in that product about 4 years ago.

Thanks for the response. Maybe I’m remembering the features being moved incorrectly. Regardless, I did feel cheated because I had just paid money for the app and now it was asking me to pay more money for what I thought I had just bought. I didn’t realize this was open source (maybe it wasn’t 2 years ago?). Also, it was 2 years ago. There’s no way to get a refund from apple. I’ll be honest, I just wanted to caution people so that they knew it had to be paid for twice. However, I see that it is now free from the App Store with an in app pay to upgrade. That’s definitely better than the experience that I had. So good job changing that.

Edit: it isn’t free on the apple app store. I failed to realize that I t shows as free for me because I already purchased it of course.

I bought this for iOS a couple years ago and was happily using it until some of the features got moved behind a pay wall. To have an app that I paid money for suddenly start charging for features that I already bought was super annoying. Hopefully they have rethought that move by now but it was enough to turn me off of it.

I live on an island in eastern Canada. Never for than 10 miles from the ocean and they salt the heck out of the roads here too. I’ve never had a car go because of rust. Or even get close to that point. And my current car is the first one I’ve ever owned that is less than 10 years old.

We salt them in Canada too.

And with no kids.

Of course!

Tina is designed to give editors the live editing experience they want (similar to a site builder like squarespace) while developers maintain control over the project. NetlifyCMS is missing the former. They have their preview templates but it is not an exact representation and requires extra work from the developer.

Tina is also designed so that you can create the editing experience that your customers/clients/coworkers need. Instead of a one-size-fits-all solution, you can give them something that is tailored to their needs.

As well, at the moment Tina only works with git (similar to NetlifyCMS) but we are working on other data source plugins as well (think Contentful, Headless Wordpress, etc).

> I think that'd need to be sovled for small businesses, as the changes are local only

This is exactly why we created Tina Teams (https://tinacms.org/teams). We will start sending early access invites in 2 weeks.
