What do you mean by "mission of self-service still hasn't yet been proven"?

New comment by misframer in "Ask HN: iPad Pro Instead of MacBook Air? 16GB RAM?"

misframer — Sun, 05 Sep 2021 16:14:47 +0000

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.

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

New comment by misframer in "Questions to ask yourself if you’re considering an iPad over a MacBook"

misframer — Sun, 20 Jun 2021 14:05:22 +0000

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).

New comment by misframer in "Ask HN: Are you using Go for web development?"

misframer — Fri, 26 Mar 2021 20:30:58 +0000

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.

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.

I don't think they use Apex anymore.

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.

New comment by misframer in "Ask HN: What is the best way to learn Lisp in 2020?"

misframer — Sun, 19 Apr 2020 17:10:23 +0000

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.
