Take a look at T14. It's the progression of the T4xx line. Lot's of ports. Good performance. Good Linux support. Still fairly upgradable.

Several years ago, I've seen an opening where a company was looking for someone to "lead their engineering effort". When I applied, they asked me to pass a hackerrank test. I said, thanks, but no thanks. It's obvious

Frankly speaking, $80K-120K of stock grant over 4 years sounds like a joke. Let's say you earn $200K a year. This is about 10% of your salary. If you get more than 10% pay raise by leaving Apple to join Meta, this bonus will not sto

I also like Svindler's et al. commentary better because they don't resort to computer analysis. They explore ideas on the chessboard from the human point of view and that makes their analysis much better than what you see on ches

I guess this means goodbye Typora. The price of $15, the limitation of only 3 activations and the requirement to be connected to the internet to check the activation status is the deal breaker for me. Typora is not the only markdown edito

We all know that companies use Leetcode problems for programming questions. But Facebook (and perhaps other big tech companies) also like to ask "system design and architecture" questions, which in my personal opinion don't

I love Clojure. As with Python, Clojure comes with batteries included. It's dynamic typing and REPL makes development really quick and the JVM runtime allows to achieve better performance than Python in many cases. You can even go a

The company is having trouble recruiting? Maybe Facebook should insist on their employees to be vaccinated.

I've updated, and now the font rendering in the Tor's interface is FU'ed. Good thing I don't rely on the Tor browser. Otherwise I'd be so pissed.

Free?! You can easily charge $15 for this. The notch is so fugly, people will readily pay to get rid of it.

I haven't used Perl in ages. Seeing all these new features in Perl 5, I want to use it again. I've looked at Raku and didn't like it. I think it went astray and it doesn't fit the spirit of Perl (being practical).

My advice to anybody who wants to use Git without making such stupid mistakes as this guy: do a 'git diff' before you commit. It's as simple as that. It's astounding how many people don't know what exactly they co

I'm not sure how "optimized" it is. I used it to create an Ubuntu VM and it was very laggy. Keyboard, mouse response and display update was slow.

Some of my co-workers use reduced blue light on their monitors, and when I need to work with them on something on their machines, I experience significant eye strain because of absence of the blue light. I just can't see as clearly as

It's not possible to disable the antivirus on Windows 11. It always resurrects itself. It's annoying AF. I'm staying with Windows 10 because Windows 11 takes away user control over the OS.

The funny thing is that the "modern standby" was supposed to improve the wakeup time from a couple of seconds to a faction of a second. But effectively it turned the wakeup into 10 seconds because you have to disable the modern s

I use Xpra to remote individual apps. It's not as good as RDP, but better than other remoting solutions like forwarding X11 over ssh, Nomachine or X2go.

The problem is that those UX designers only think about colors and rounded corners. This is what the "design" is for them. Making things usable is not part of their design.

All these commanders are just shit. Instead of making things simpler they make them more complicated by overloading UI to the limit. That's why I still use the default file manager.
