I miss Perl. I love Perl still and would reach for it for any project I could. That said, I switched to Python because going into recent interviews and doing the white board or online assessment, Perl isn't necessarily an option. At le

I feel like I might be in the minority opinion on this, but I don't enjoy any of the Netflix originals they keep pumping out. At least not enough to spend time on them. I don't like the Marvel shows, Stranger Things was okay I gue

I don't limit my plugin usage on purpose. I will add a plugin if it adds a value I can make use of. Disregarding color schemes here is my list: * FZF * COC (it provides a lot of QoL, functionality of modern editors with it's plugi

I'm a self admitted chair-o-holic. I have personally owned an Aaron, Embody, Steelcase Leather Leap. In a nutshell, I found the Aeron the most uncomfortable chair of just about every office chair I've had the pleasure of sitting i

Agreed. To add to this, with my new 3DS I have a non-subscription Virtual Console library of NES, SNES, Genesis, Master System, GB/GBC, GBA, TG16 as well as the existing DS, 3DS, and new 3DS games. That's a huge unique library of

I won't think twice, I'll be jumping right in on the new one, I think at least. Assuming it only gets better from here on out. I'm still deathly scared of the battery becoming worthless as well as my keys stop working reliabl

I think I'm definitely in the minority here on this community, but I actually don't mind the keyboard and TouchBar. The keyboard, although not as good as my Thinkpad, is far superior to many still and not bad. The problem I have w

Probably not able to completed during a single 3 months unless you do it full time, but I picked up a copy of SICP [0] and started reading through and working through every-single-problem. I got stuck so far on one problem in the first chap

I've only imagined a Microsoft version of Linux (or BSD or ...). I figured it was the only way to get a polished consistent experience much like I have gotten (mostly, but not perfect) from Apple and macOS. The reason I left Linux on t

I kind of like the Touch Bar. It's hackable, programmable, and versatile. I have never used F keys and making Caps Lock the new Escape key works better for me anyway since I have small hands. How can you not like having Lemmings in you

Thinkpad users don't use trackpads. The second biggest draw besides the keyboard might be the Trackpoint. It's glorious! It's nothing like the same little nipple you might have tried on HP or Dell laptops of past. The Thinkpa

I'm currently in Minneapolis, downtown proper. I even own a condo in the middle of downtown. I don't even need a car and buses galore and multiple trains as well as a skyway for bad weather all within a block or less. I have Targe

I'm not 48, I'm younger, but in my 30's. I only started the LeetCode study grind about a year or so go, but not consistently. I just got back from my onsite at a Big-N and pretty much bombed it. I gut nervous and forgot the e

I selfishly hope that the Barnes and Noble at the entrance inside Mall of America stays (because I live downtown Minneapolis and take the Blue Line directly there for fun). It's always busy, it's large, it's glorious and stoc

I have similar struggles (double digit years in my career). I've always worked at smaller companies being the jack-of-all-trades. Given the work no one else could, would, or was entrusted to do. I get plagued by recruiters and companie

Not sure if this counts, but I have a couple Vanguard funds, the monthly interest and dividends is about $1000/month on average. I also don't own a car, but do own a parking spot in downtown Minneapolis that I lease out for $150-$

Personally, I won't feel the keyboard issue is resolved until the keyboard is a user replaceable part.

Downtown Minneapolis, Nicollet Mall doesn't allow cars. Only busses and pedestrians. Occasionally you see a car, but it's because it looks like it's someone who didn't know accidentally turn on to the road and get lost.

I walked into an Apple Store twice in the last month: 1. I walk up to an employee and said, "Want to make an easy sale? I want an iPad Pro 11" with the keyboard and Apple Care." As we were talking with in about 30 seconds aft

I wanted to come back and ask the same thing, only to guess there would be some snarky replies. Sure enough, there are, but sometimes we have to make the best of what we do have. I can't switch to PostgreSQL because some posters on Hac

Extending the warranty of the MacBook's with the keyboards that have issues isn't enough. They should be under warranty indefinitely or made affordable to replace, even if it's at a loss for AAPL.

Typical Thinkpad users don't even use the touchpad. They use the Trackpoint. If I had the option, I would configure my Thinkpad BTO without a Touchpad. The Thinkpad Trackpoint (not Dell, HP, or anyone else) is still superior in my opin

I live and work in downtown Minneapolis and it’s becoming rare not to see Apple Pay. I use it whenever possible. It’s convenient and fast.
