Why? They are useful to me and I appreciate the hypotheticals because it highlights the gaps between "they can access my data and I trust them to do the right thing" and "they literally can't access my data so trust doesn't matter."

I mean, you're not wrong, but this is going to trick a non-zero number of people and that's not okay. We should expect more out of companies like Coinbase and hold them to a high standard.

This is unacceptable and the amount offered in general is low. It feels like we can agree on this.

In Oakland, there are different vehicles that come by for different purposes. As I understand it there’s an agitator, sprayer, and sweeper. You have to know when the whole process is complete, so I understand it’s easier just to avoid for the whole window.

I use it primarily because of integration with the lock screen and integration with CarPlay.

Seems cool! Given the example talks about "redeploy," I assume this was built with longer running tasks in mind? Is there a way to see what hooks are processing and get output from them (or send that output somewhere)?

I quickly and hackily did `brew edit htop` and made these changes to install htop 2.0: https://gist.github.com/bmorton/231bc3d6b3aa6fbefd48

I've got it on my list to fully fix it up and submit a PR, but feel free to flesh out my changes and submit instead :D

It is very much the opposite. With this pattern, you're going to have lots of copies of your data in different transformations in potentially many different data stores. The idea is that you take the stream of changes from something like Postgres and use that stream to populate caches, indexes, denormalizations/representations, counts, etc.

Huge +1 for #3. Saves my ass all the time. I usually stage the changes I think I want to commit and use `git diff --staged` to confirm before I commit.

I think most (all?) of the commands can be performed over the API with JSON coming back, so the order of output shouldn't matter too much.

There really aren't many other monitors with "the same specs" as an ACD. The ones that do have the same specs (from Dell, NEC) are just as expensive, if not more. There are plenty of cheaper 24" monitors, but the resolutions do not compare.

Additionally, if you have an MBP, not having to use a mini-DP adapter and having a built in power adapter is pretty awesome.
