X250 can't do 16GB, sadly.

I made it that far into the article and waded straight into the HN comments, running an in-browser-search on "IBM". I despair that the tech world is being run by no-nothing teenagers credentialed solely by their family's bank

They're not competing, they're cooperatively building a potemkin village so that they have a cloud story to tell Wall Street and the tech press. AWS is steamrollering everyone, but most of them incorrectly imagine AWS to be a mash

I hope that rxvt-unicode has entered some people's lives since then, but that otherwise things still look the same. For me, 2002 was the GNOME wasteland between Windowmaker and Openbox. You could still right-click for a terminal, which

Who is asking for this? Foundational technologies best move a bit slower than average, that way everything built on top can go fast without wasting energy on changes beneath. Web browser development should go-slow so that web development ca
