I have a macbook pro at work since last year, OS X is slow as hell and iTerm2 (my main app usage) is very sluggy when you are used to Konsole (KDE terminal). But yes the laptop is pretty.

I'm impatient to be able to update my laptop for a X1 carbon and a speedy KDE.


That is strange but I heard about apple products and software getting worse every day. (users seem to become beta-testers)

I have an old MBP (the one that has all the ports you'd including a standard HDMI, don't know what year) and never upgraded beyond osx mavericks - it runs fine until today.

A friend told me they use new MBPs @work and they seem to break much too often. I also tried the keyboard on his working machine to find out how bad it is nowadays! I prefer the oldschool thinkpad keyboard but was surprised by the keyboard on the old MBP. The new one's on the other hand are just a tool for torturing users who like to write much.

iTerm2 was my favourite because of the features (like intuitive tmux usage without learning it's CLI-foo). I also like how it is integrated with the rest of the desktop (searching, copy&paste, url-clicking etc.) but can't really compare to the default terminal emulator as I haven't used it much after trying iTerm2 when it was recommended by the whole world.


Have you considered just using the OSX Terminal?

It's been very good since like at least OSX 10.5 (when they added tabs) or so.

I always wonder why people use other terminals (but don't seem to use any of it's special features).

I'd be curious to see if you think it performs better.


Kops 1.11 is still in beta


Yes, we're waiting till 1.11.6 lands - some important fixes for clouds in there. We've debated releasing at the same time as Kubernetes, but the feedback we've got is that users prefer that a kops release is ready to run, but we also need to do a better job of releasing alphas & betas earlier.

Obviously the current delay is not great - I'd much prefer for us to be on 1.12 (which actually has fixed the main issue already). I'm hoping we can catch up once we're (finally) done with the etcd3 migration.


I sleep way better since I'm following the keto diet, and surprisingly my sleep is "perfect" since I take Vitamin c just before going to bed, and I'm now super-motivated in the morning.

I followed this advice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbHnpdtQKUA


I'm doing very badly on ketogenic diets, it's definitely not for anyone. Hypoglycemic etc.


8 days of water only fasting stimulates hippocampal neurogenesis so you will sleep better than you are currently doing, besides also improving neuroplasticity and thus your future earning potential.


Or just sleep at the appropriate times and cut out screens hours before bed. You don't have to water fast for your circadian rhythm.


It helps, studies have shown it.


Can you link to some of these studies?
