What do you mean by "mission of self-service still hasn't yet been proven"?
Re:Ask HN: iPad Pro Instead of MacBook Air? 16GB RAM? on Sunday September 05, 2021 @12:14PM (#28425407)
I mostly use an M1 iPad Pro for personal use. I can get 90% of my personal work done on it, but not everything (e.g. I had to use my laptop for some tax filing work).

GitHub Codespaces works well enough to work on my blog but it’s not a replacement for the full dev environment I have on my laptop.

If you just had to pick one, I would go for the MacBook Air.

Looks like they migrated (at least partially) to Scylla: "Discord Chooses Scylla as Its Core Storage Layer" (2020)

Their jobs pages (e.g. [0]) mention "ScyllaDB/Cassandra".

They brought it back[0]. I remember getting discounts for lattes and mochas.

iPhone and iPad have replaced almost all of my personal computing needs. I still use a MacBook for a DAW to play guitar. I am traveling these days and the MacBook stayed home.

My work laptop is now an M1 MBP. It's working out fine (after a few Docker hiccups).

Re:Ask HN: Are you using Go for web development? on Friday March 26, 2021 @04:30PM (#26596567)
Yes, both for personal projects and at work. I write APIs in Go (and there's React on the UI side that talks to it). I use VS Code to develop and build as a Docker image.

At work the images are deployed on DC/OS, and for my personal projects I use Docker Compose.

The most difficult part (which isn't really that difficult) would probably be the actual deployment part, and that's not specific to Go.

I use Fastmail with a personal domain name.
Re:Transfer Stocks Out of Your Robinhood Account on Thursday January 28, 2021 @11:58PM (#25954141)
Here’s the email I got from Tastyworks:

> Apex Clearing, who acts as the custodian of all tastyworks accounts, has informed us that the following symbols (AMC, GME, & KOSS) will be set to closing only order status immediately. You will only be able to submit orders to close out any open positions that you have in these symbols.

> New opening orders will not be accepted at this time. We will update our clients should the clearing firm lift the Closing Only status in the near future.

Apex is the clearing firm for Tastyworks and Webull too. I got an email from Tastyworks about restrictions (which just got lifted).

I switched from Simple to Ally a few years ago and had 0 problems. I recommend them all the time.

Re:Ask HN: What is the best way to learn Lisp in 2020? on Sunday April 19, 2020 @01:10PM (#22917182)
Try writing an interpreter! “Make a Lisp“[0] and Norvig’s “(How to Write a (Lisp) Interpreter (in Python))”[1] really helped me understand the basics.

Separately. I haven't updated it to use the plugin. Thanks for Caddy, BTW!

Thanks! Yeah, will look into a CDN or just hosting it from an S3 bucket.

I’m using Hugo and Caddy. It’s running out of file handles.

Re:I Built a Lisp Compiler on Thursday March 28, 2019 @12:27AM (#19509245)
Great post! I started writing a Lisp interpreter in Go with the mal guide but switched to Norvig's (How to Write a (Lisp) Interpreter (in Python)) [0] since it was more approachable (IMO) as a Lisp beginner. I'm looking forward to writing a compiler next like the author.

A few people I follow have left SF for NYC. I’m curious if anyone on HN has done the same and why.
