Hello Recompilers,
The Recompiler is happy to be a community sponsor for Devopsdays Portland 2018 happening from September 11-13. This year we’ll be hearing from Recompiler contributor Heidi Waterhouse on Disaster Resilience The Waffle House Way: Flat-Tops, Feature Flags, And Finite State Machines — along with many other great talks. You can get 20% off your registration with the code RECOMPILERFRIENDS. We also have one ticket to give away to a reader. Enter by August 20.
If you missed our Kickstarter for Community Event Planning, Second Edition there’s still time to pre-order (and even get a sticker pack).
Reading:
The Plug has a list of Black-owned coworking spaces in the United States. There are more than fifty spaces listed, across the country, in case you want to support a Black-owned business while you work.
The latest and greatest MacBook Pro might be fundamentally broken and customers are pissed. The top of the line i9 processors run so hot that they throttle immediately to avoid overheating and perform worse than last year’s i7 models.
Antifascists have leaked the organizing conversations behind this year’s sequel to last year’s Unite the Right fascist rally. Radical journalist collective Unicorn Riot has the transcripts and analysis. The short version is: they’re planning more of the same, but with more internal conflict about whether or not it’s good optics to be violent and some discussion of how they can make white supremacist speakers more palatable.
Listening:
