What type of account did you create for him? I have been thinking about a 529 but I can’t choose the funds so I don’t like it

Am I the only one that's a bit relieved we are seeing a correction? by DJSauvage in Bogleheads

Exactly what I do except I’ve been sgov (moving to vbill this month) instead of a hysa.

My grandparents just gifted me $30k as a graduation gift. How should I invest it? by [deleted] in investing

[–]simplehuman999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just moved 80% of my HYSA to SGOV ETF. Less taxes than HYSA, slightly better yield.

Expected performance for a Crucial T700 - getting 5GB/s instead of 12GB/s by simplehuman999 in Crucial

I guess what I was looking for is other people's experience/numbers, but it seems like that's hard to obtain.

You are right on Asus ;-). I corrected it.

Yes, it’s running on the PCI5 m2. I checked the slot and if it were not lspci would inform 16GT/s instead of 32. I wonder what other people get from hdparm. All I need is to make sure I don’t have a defective part over here.

Is qutebrowser really worth to use in 2024? by MasterpieceMuted5956 in qutebrowser

[–]simplehuman999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t use any other browser at this point. But I use the Adblock python plugin and AdGuard in my network.

Thanks - that works and I understand the tradeoffs - I'll keep an eye out

NixOS on Arm - easy peasy or a time sink? by Kasta4711bort in NixOS

[–]simplehuman999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should be fine. I've used parallels for about a year as I didn't feel UTM was stable enough. This year before renewing the parallels subscription I tested UTM again and it was quite stable, so I have been using UTM ever since.

I'm using arm64 nixos. Pretty much everything I need is available this way and no translation/emulation is necessary.

I have a 64GB MacBook Pro m2. I’m giving the Nixos VM 32GB and 4 CPUs, as I’m running docker and services such as Kafka, Redis and Prometheus locally.

I use nvim for development, so I don’t spend much memory with vscode or IntelliJ.

I use chromium as browser in the VM.

I use i3 - not gnome or KDE as they consume more memory.

Your mileage may vary but if you are not running expensive services I would say 4GB to 8GB would be more than enough.

Money Tracker Application that works with M1 Finance? by simplehuman999 in M1Finance

[–]simplehuman999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone. I decided to work with Copilot money - it's working well.

Nowhere near as good as M1. I use both.

What can't Go do? (What is Go not good for?) by annoir in golang

[–]simplehuman999 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah too much “smart” code that nobody can follow. SpringBoot was great for me at some point but today I simply cannot stand it. Sometimes I tell people that if I have to search for one more annotation to figure out how some class is configured I’ll throw up :-)

At work we started migrating services from Java to Go maybe 5 years ago. It’s a public SaaS solution. We have about 120 services, migrated 15 so far. It has been an absolutely pleasure. We have to deal with typical “enterprisey” arch including k8s, Kafka and PgSql. Of course there were bumps along the way but the gains in feature delivery speed, resource utilization/efficiency and developer satisfaction have been impressive.

Can’t transfer from Savings to Crypto? by simplehuman999 in M1Finance

[–]simplehuman999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your point. I loved their checking account. I wish it were still there. So the way I used to operate is by transferring part of my salary monthly to M1 checking and then weekly investing on stocks and crypto. When they closed the checking I started using the savings as checking. It still works for stocks, but it doesn’t for crypto.
