Breakfast at home: TJ's pecan praline granola with soy milk. Rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. Along the way I continued studying Spanish on Duolingo. Sprint standup. OSACA staff meeting. Lunch at Palio: potato soup, half tuna sandwich, water from my water bottle. UCSF shuttle from Parnassus to Laurel Heights. Web updates: OEIS. Calendar management. Archived images. Worked 1-on-1 with Eric on a few issues including taxo synonyms and tweaking gatling rsync for vagrant to have a little more latency so that it doesn't fire twice for a single stylesheet change (once for the sass file then again after CodeKit compiles it to css). Bought eggs at Bryan's using Apple Pay. UCSF shuttle from Laurel Heights to Parnassus. Rode Muni home. Dinner at home with Patrick: spiced pork burgers with pickled beets and cone cabbage slaw; red wine. Watched a few movie trailers with Patrick. Recharge Medical work: November news build. New MacBook Pros were announced by Apple today, and I am so disappointed and frustrated. I need a new laptop for web development, so I want a reasonably powerful laptop in the lightest weight possible. All of these late 2016 MacBook Pro laptops are bested in performance (Geekbench 4) by some MacBook Pros from mid-2014 and mid-2015. Even a top-of-the-line MacBook Pro from late 2013 has better performance than nearly all of these new model configurations. Macbooks (the ones introduced in 2015) are very light but horrendously underpowered.
