Technically it feels the same to me. Content-wise netflix is kind of a dumpster buffet, with a tons of meh stuff and a couple of really nice things. Disney has less content, but almost no low quality fluff.

It's easy to do things slowly, by the book, taking all the time in the world, while the world is waiting. It's part of the skill and mastery to know which corners to cut and which things are essential and which can be fixed later, and judge the effort to result ratio accurately.

LN situation is not perfect, but improved greatly last year.

With wallets like Breeze & Phoenix initial onboarding of new users to LN is quite painless because they offer in-flight inbound channel creation (for a tiny fee). So you can install and accept payment right away. Strike mobile app allows to easily fund your LN wallets with smallish amounts of money ($1-$1000) very quickly - just plug in your debit card.

I have been kicking tires paying for my coffee in LN-accepting Palo Alto coffee shop before the lockdown and it worked OK. But in other situations LN payments did have some problems (usually lack of receiving liquidity on the receiver end).

Another road to Bitcoin scaling for payments is using sidechains like Liquid. I haven't tried it myself yet.

But generally I agree that payments on Bitcoin are not critical right now, as it is becoming a trust-less collateral and saving device for bigger institutions for who $10 tx fees are irrelevant. It might however force smaller investors to try out sidechains/LN for casual payments.

Seconded. Especially for Go, because it's mostly a lowest common denominator of language features it's not hard to write the code itself. The problem is that the module system is different and had plenty of changes along the years, What I would really like is an up to date "learn how to handle Go project in 30 minutes" tutorial (initialize new project with all best practices, add modules, publish, fork&clone&submit&pr including 3rd party submodules, test, CI, profile, debug).

Done that myself in the past. Can recommend. 20% cut, but feels like 50/50 weekend to workweek ratio indeed.

I'm not a Haskeler, but didn't they add affine/linear types recently that could help?

I would like to see this metric but where instead of substraction they should use division.

Oh, someone is fixing Go? Nice.

I'm a paid user, and I like the emphasis on the lightweight sites, but it's been years and it still misses some basic features like ... and index page.

Your laptop manufacturer doesn't care so it's buggy.

Buy a Thinkpad, Zenbook, Dell XPS, System76 laptop or some model known to have good Linux support next time.

Can't remember any problems like this in the last decade, but I always, always research Linux compatibility before buying any hardware.

Around 2 thousands people die every day from heart diseases in the US, every day (635k annually). Not in extreme temporary conditions. That's a standard baseline, year after year like that.

I wonder how many lives would been saved if we had mandatory 30 minutes jogging sessions, fastfood lockdowns and vegetable subsidies.
