need a laptop to buy (and then return) while my thinkpad is in service

what should i try?

requirement: should NOT be heavier than thinkpad x1 carbon gen 10 (~1.12kg) + 13-14" display, durable and premium feel, min 32gb ram

and before you suggest: macbooks are all heavier than this

Wow, it just hit me that I've been surfing the web for a quarter of a century. I go way back to the BlackPlanet chatroom days, if you know, you know!

How do you help your children develop taste?

IMO this has always been important, but even more so now in an age of AI.

Investors are gravitating towards 'Eco-Coins' as they offer promising returns while being kinder to the planet. Sustainable investing has never looked so appealing! 🌱💰

It's in my genes. My Grandmother was the true example.

I actually like the storage model where everything is an account. Makes it pretty easy to pick up. Haven't written any programs yet though. 

The RPCs don't feel as robust. Using Helius, but calls are slower than on an EVM and have random failures from time to time so have to account for that.

Indexing is a huge pain because of the insane amount of transactions (good problem for the network). Took me about a week to build a token indexer that can even stay at head. Storage, and in turn costs, grow pretty quickly though.

Need to index myself because no good APIs available for consumer-oriented general-purpose token data. 

Before I even started the exploration, had so many EVM people telling me how much it sucks. And overall, it's honestly not bad at all. Most of the people talking negatively about Solana dev either (1) have never actually built anything there or (2) weren't around for EVM dev when it was the same age as Solana.

Posted some thoughts about building around Solana the other day. Only been a week, so I still have a lot to learn about the ecosystem

Check out this cool new video that's just been released! 🎥 Don't miss out on all the excitement!

The current government’s policies, backed by Peter Dutton, are causing unease in my daily life. Jailing protesters and those labeled for 'hate' feels reminiscent of a state-controlled social credit system enforcing moral values.
