How is the trackpad? Been eyeballing the Extreme but I'm wary of the performance of the trackpad in comparison to the MBP.
Or for a more simple, easy to set up and lightweight alternative OP could use the micro framework made by Laravel: Lumen. This might be more suitable for this case. https://lumen.laravel.com/

L-tryptophan can be found in many types of food such as meat, nuts and eggs. The body converts it to 5-HTP, which in turn converts to serotonin (in the brain).

Bananas contain L-tryptophan. Your body converts L-tryptophan to melatonin (+ serotonin and vitamin B6).
The website says:

> Hold-to-record mode lets you string clips together so that you can collect your thoughts between recording.

You can probably hold-to-record multiple times in a single movie (don't have an iPhone to test). Seems like the easiest and most straightforward way to do it, just no re-ordering of recorded clips.

This is also true for any mechanical work on vehicles that you're not too familiar with. You will always underestimate how forgetful you'll get after even one day. When rebuilding or even performing small mechanical tasks on a motorcycle, I always photograph and label every new state of the motorcycle and link that photograph to the corresponding parts (nuts, bolts, gaskets etc) in chronological order. And even then somehow I find myself getting lazy in the process and think that I'll remember this little step or location of the part.
Re:Pictures from the Eastern Bloc in the 80s on Saturday December 15, 2018 @09:33AM (#18688502)
Love the gritty aesthetic of old photographs like this. Actually prefer it to modern, razor-sharp photography. Or maybe analogue just fits the image we have of the past better?

I wonder what kind of equipment was used for these photos.

Or MacPass for macOS, which was a very slick alternative to the KeePass application at the time.

Yes! The biggest scar on my body is a 3cm long cut in the shape of the eye of Sauron from the edge of an AT case. Dangerous stuff fiddling with computers back in the day.
I don't think it was serious, the post was referring to Trump's campaign speech.
I was scammed on Marktplaats a couple of years ago, along with about 20 victims who also got scammed by the same person. We gathered a lot of information about the scammer, down to all his personal information, ip addresses, email accounts, advertisement details, etc. After about 2 years we got a form in the mail if we would like to press charges and "sue" for damages. Everybody involved filled in the forms and about one year later this persons trial was canceled because of lack of evidence.

Not sure if it's truly hard to prove internet fraud, are understaffed or they just don't care enough. Anyway, seems like an easy way to make a quick buck or two for criminals. Even tho this person didn't look like a particularly intelligent individual or even a hardcore criminal, he got away with many scams and probably made quite a lot of money in a short period of time.
