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.


could you share your thoughts and experience on the process? what were the benefits of raising money via angellist as opposed to elsewhere?


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


I love stuff that makes life just a little bit more easier


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.


> 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.


I just found "git partial clone" which appears to aim to replace LFS ( https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/03/13/partial-clone-for-m... ) but I'm unsure of it's current state ( https://www.kdab.com/native-big-file-handling-in-git/ 2021 ). Are you familiar?


Thanks for providing the extra info. I'll look into it.


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.


Hi. I'm the author. I never moved any features behind a paywall. Only new features are paid.

Also, the entire source code (pro features as well) are completely open source.

Regardless, I'm not happy that you feel cheated. Is there someway to ask Apple for a refund?


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.


Understood.

Maybe it's cause I had earlier experimented with a subscription instead of paying once for the new features.

Shoot me an email please, I'll provide you with some coupon codes so you can get the pro features without paying, just in case you want to try it out again.


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


Presumably you can compile the old version from source and install the version you compiled, right? Or was it not yet licensed under the AGPL?
