> Every time we eat a snack or food that involves dairy, remember that it is completely unnecessary to include dairy.

You're preaching to the lactose-intolerant choir here, man.

> Time to start learning Mandarin

Mandarin has been on the curriculum at my son's school for the past few years. Prescient planning imho.

Absolutely hate numberpads on laptops - if you're sitting with the laptop directly in front of you it means your arms and hands are slightly offset to the left for normal typing.

I'm unconvinced but I'll ensure I do my homework before grammar-policing again :)

That M-W entry literally says they're different words with different meanings:

> They are in fact different words, but with sufficient overlap in meaning and form as to create uncertainty as to which should be used when.

> We define ensure as “to make sure, certain, or safe” and one sense of insure, “to make certain especially by taking necessary measures and precautions,” is quite similar. But insure has the additional meaning “to provide or obtain insurance on or for,” which is not shared by ensure.

> The New Yorker prefers insure to ensure. They have a unique house style.

That's not a stylistic choice, it's just incorrect use of English.

> Anyone else into what my high school biology teacher loved referring to as "pseudo-arachnomorphic diagrams" (Mind Maps[1] / Spider Diagrams)?

Yes! Nearly all my notes are mind-map-ish. I’m a visual thinker/planner with ADHD and mind-map style “spatial notes” are the only ones that make sense to me when writing and reviewing later. I’ve tried a few methods of moving this process to digital over the years but nothing sticks like pen & paper.

Can't view the pricing page without logging in (/app/pricing immediately redirects to a login box). Not going to get invested in a product until I know how much it'll cost in the long term.

I really don't want to be too much of a downer, but is this really just an HN post about someone putting something on a shelf?

> I don't agree about containers, they are a really handy tool to produce stable(-ish) deployments.

Agreed - at least so long as we're living with the current OS paradigms that have been around since the 70s. Redhat: bring us something modern that handles software distribution/dependencies/lifecycle management/partitioning/security boundaries in a nicer way and maybe we won't need containers.
