This is a fairly shameless Tot clone, you should at least credit the Iconfactory. https://tot.rocks/

> Google really hasn't launched a decent in-house product since Gmail

What about Chrome? And Chromebooks?

mmm, WebKit?
camflan commented on Ask HN: What printer do you recommend for rare printing?    · Posted by u/joshstrange

a ~$100 black and white laser printer.

I got a HP 1102w for this about 6 or 7 years ago and it's never failed. By getting laser, you can avoid the clogged print heads issues and other issues inkjets have with infrequent use.

Webster’s is a descriptive dictionary, which will include nonstandard words so that it can _describe_ them, and provide guidance on what should be used instead. Just like in that link - it suggests the use of “regardless”

Having worked for a major booking website several years ago, Sabre was a nightmare to work with. It felt more like I was in a beta program to integrate with them rather than a production system.

can confirm. Though the other gds aren't _that_ much better

Hey! Web dev/writer here that can relate — I've been writing about this after having gone through the same experience.

In the last year, I've written about the Razer Blade, Eve V and about to ship a review of the Dell XPS 15 today or tomorrow (will post in this comment), which I ultimately settled on. It's a killer machine! I use Windows and WSL to do my work, and it's just as good as my MacBook setup ever was — except I have 32 GB of RAM _and_ a bunch of ports.

Happy to answer any questions/offer advice, I've basically tried all of them — I am extremely curious about the new Surface Book 2 15", but it's been hard to get my hands on one.

Thanks for the write-up, I’ve been curious about that machine amid my Apple frustrations. However, you mention a lack of quad-core i7 cpus in the MBP but that’s not true. My 2013 is a quad core and they have been quad core in the 15” ever since.
camflan commented on Ask HN: Which headphones do you use while working?    · Posted by u/excitednumber

Etymotic er4p with a custom null audio cable and ACS custom eartips, this is not noise cancelling, it's total blockage, when you have music playing someone can stand in front of you shouting at full volume and you won't hear anything but your tunes

Although ACS no longer make custom eartips there are other places that do such as snugz, without doubt custom tips are the single best upgrade you can buy for your sound

camflan · 9 years ago
I agree, getting ACS molds for my ER4p is one of my favorite audio purchases. All day comfort + maximum isolation

Working at home lets me use speakers or open headphones most of the time, so Hifiman 400i, but when I need isolation I use either Oppo PM-3 or Etymotic ER4p
