I've seen a glut of developer note taking apps lately and every time I see them I wonder, why not just use something like org mode? That's one of the biggest things emacs has to offer and once you start to use it, all of these ma

It's interesting how this article points out that there's very little technically wrong with the laptop but the design is no longer leading the pack. The laptop market seems bifurcated by the Macbook and the thinkpad. Does a lapt

This is a great encapsulation of exactly why I put down snapchat a few years ago. It's rather scary how people can get pulled into this feedback loop and how hard social media users can work to keep of a facade of performance. Thanks

I've been running Ubuntu on my SP3 for years. The wireless drivers were a bitch and required patching the kernel before 4.4 but other than that everything worked nicely. It was just a matter of time getting the kinks fixed.
