You might find OrbStack useful here as a replacement for Docker Desktop. So much faster and uses way less resources: https://orbstack.dev/

Apple did actually introduce its own container framework in Tahoe, but it’s still early days. https://github.com/apple/container

Because it’s faster, easier, safer and cheaper to transfer large volumes of capital than say loading a plane with gold or sending a bag of cash.

to add, in the latest version of MacOS / iOS you can import / export as Markdown, which is quite nice.

Same. Yet being a generalist has always been the most interesting to me so I carried on that path. Ironically, now I can use an LLM for depth, I’m the one being asked how I manage to ship so much. It’s in part due to how I use LLMs for depth whilst relying on my natural breadth.

What I find disappointing about this revision is that the Air is portrayed as Apple's most portable machine, yet it still lacks the nano-texture option. I understand that this distinction between the Air and the Pro is intentional, but it seems somewhat counterintuitive.

New comment by CaRDiaK in "Ask HN: Books you plan to read in 2020?"

CaRDiaK — Mon, 16 Dec 2019 13:18:33 +0000

My fiancée is an avid reader of fiction and canonical literature, she averages around 40 books a year. I was looking for something interesting to get her one Birthday for a change and was recommended "The Master & Margarita" by some folks on reddit. She loved it. It's a very strange book apparently but it steered her into some other Russian authors since.

I've read "Why we sleep" on your list—I average about 20 non fiction a year. It made me think about my own sleeping habits, although I believe there is a blog post out there that claims there is little scientific evidence to back up some of the medical claims made in the book, I still found it beneficial and thought provoking. The history and theory around sleep and it's role in human evolution I found particularly interesting.

Currently about two thirds through this. I agree that it's a great read, quite fascinating actually. Interestingly, he's conducted similar tests measuring a whole range of properties including; response, recovery, memory, health on hundreds of people and he draws the same conclusion as the article. It's certainly made me more aware of my own sleep habits. Highly recommended reading.

I agree with what you say here. I would just like to address the point you make about interviews, after reading about this approach myself some years back.

Both my current and former gigs came from doing exactly this—going for interviews to keep fresh.

Just like the Office Space references in the article, for me "it's not because I'm lazy, it's because I just don't care". It wasn't like I needed the job, I was just seeing what other places were like, what other problems people had, what sort of questions I would get asked from place to place and what different people were looking for in someone of my position to solve those problems.

When inevitably asked "why do you want to work at X" If I liked what I saw I'd be straight up with a response along the lines of "well, I'm actually very happy where I am and not looking to move. But I am interested in seeing what kind of challenges you face and if my skillset and experience is mutually beneficial". Before hand, I would update my CV in a style to attract a conversation. Not a greatest hits of all my work and projects. That's how I _try_ to make it look different to others that I would see when on the hiring side of the table.

It's interesting that since doing interviews this way, (I start this process roughly after a couple of years in each place, probably every four to six months) each job has made me progressively happier and offered me more of what I'm looking for. Interesting work, renumeration, culture, autonomy and a better work/life balance.

Finally I should add that I live in the UK. And that my previous way of going about getting a new job were working until I felt burnt out, dejected or unfairly compensated. At which point, I would really want out.
