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.
> EVs also tend to be heavier than their ICE counterparts.
As the parent comment said - but I was questioning about whether increased torque has an actual impact on tyre wear.
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.
Anecdata: I am 31 and have 3 young kids. They have 0 cousins and, on top of that, 0... second cousins? Cousins-once-removed? Whatever the one is for my cousin's kids. My kids are my grandma's only great-grandkids. And I have... 6 cousins.
On top of that, at my last job, on my team of 15, I was the only one with kids, and only 1 of those 15 engineers were under the age of 30. At my current job, my team is 8, and again we're all about 30, and nobody is even thinking about kids at all.
It baffles me. And it's also a bit inconvenient that nobody else at work has such pressing obligations, it makes me feel bad (though not too bad at this point) that I *have* to log off at quittin' time, sharp, to go relieve my wife of some childcare and make a family dinner.
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 created this because I found myself peeping inside type declaration files too often, and the only way to do that was by installing the package first.
tsdocs.dev helps you check the API surface of a good number of JS libraries and their past versions — usually a quick search away.
There's something powerful about speed and being able to answer questions in seconds that usually take minutes.

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

My townhome complex had one of those call boxes at the front gate. When Doordash/FedEx/the cleaners/the in-laws/etc arrived they would have to call me from the call box and I'd have to answer it and listen to garbled audio to figure out who it was and press 9 to open the gate. It was kind of a pain, so I made a Twilio app to answer calls from the call box.
I set up custom entry codes that I could hand out to anyone. Everyone got their own code, and it would text me whenever someone used a code so I'd instantly know who was coming. The text conversation was my timestamped access log. I also put time constraints on some codes so e.g. Doordash couldn't open the gate in the middle of the night, or I could set up a temporary access code for a party, and I rotated codes too, with text notifications if an outdated code was used.
I thought about making a paid app out of it, but it just didn't seem worthwhile. I didn't expect that many people would want to pay for it. For a while I was excited about a YC startup called Doorport that was going to make a hardware device that you'd install inside those dumb call boxes and make them smart with all sorts of cool features, better than my Twilio hack. But I think they pivoted to a much less interesting pure software thing and then got acquihired.
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.

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.

GitJournal doesn't yet support LFS, and since neither libgit2 or go-git supports it, it's unlikely that I'll implement it. (last I checked it wasn't supported, maybe things have changed).
I do, however, want to support partial clones and easier tools to cleanup the history and reduce the repo size.
> 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.
