My dentist told me the reason I never needed braces, but all my friends did was from wearing a mouth guard from all the ice hockey we played growing up. They aren't perfectly straight, but except for 2 teeth, very close to it. Every de

I have a MacBook Pro (2017, 15" top model). I came from a Thinkpad running Red Hat and FreeBSD later. I have been for the last couple years putting a Thinkpad (P52 or X1 Carbon/Extreme or P1) I'm lusting over in my cart, but

I completely forgot about Adium. If I remember, there was an iOS app too at one point? Or there was a way to have it push messages to you phone when you weren't at your computer? Slack, Discord, Messenger, ... should have made Adium cl

Just left Austin for this exact reason. All the companies, except a few startups and exceptions are not in downtown. They are out in the boonies. Live downtown and you are looking at 2-3 hours of commute every day and traffic is gloriously

It's a good comparison, but I feel the best comparison is not to a MacBook Pro or Air, but to the Thinkpad X1 Carbon or X280. I haven't used either the Dell, Thinkpad, or the MacBook Air, but I do have the MacBook Pro. I'm mo
