That's another thing I don't understand, these configurators are not available in my country (Czech Republic) - neither for Lenovo nor Dell. Fortunately I was able to find a local Lenovo partner, who has some internal access. But

Yeah, AMD would be the way to go (I switched to AMD on my desktop when Ryzen came out) only if there were reasonable laptops available. AFAIK there are no AMD laptops with 128 GB RAM. Quickly looking at Lenovo site, I couldn't even fin

For developers, going with Intel only (no Nvidia discrete card) is the most sensible choice. I have P15 and it's riddled with issues - not that they are not solvable, but it needs workarounds, restarts of X (logout/login), or runn

I personally think remote development is fraught with problems that don't exist on local.

Most of the cases where this breaks anything, are already broken, it's just not visible.

The PRO Threadrippers are not cut down, they have 8 memory channels and 128 PCIE 4.0 lanes. I think the only limitation compared to Epyc is that you can have 1 socket only.

This obviously depends on T&C but failed payment usually doesn't mean cancelled subscription. Some services will block & close your account, but some will continue to accumulate the debt to a point where it's high enough t

Even when you log to just stdout/stderr there are many features and considerations that are a lot more complicated than just printf (custom format patterns with context, dynamically turning logs on/off in parts of application, per

> We had elaborated waterfall processes like Rational Unified Process (RUP) in the 90s This is factually wrong. RUP is an example of iterative process, not waterfall at all.

Who was more influential on computers? Turing or Gates? Hardly anyone heard of Turing outside of computer science and WW2 history buffs. At least until The Imitation Game movie, and most forgot when they left the cinema anyway.

I never heard of him. He may be known to jazz fans, but if you go to any other festival like rock, pop, metal, folk.. everyone has heard about Beatles, about this guy? Just the minority of jazz fans and music nerds.

It's been maybe 10 years since I last used SVN so I don't remember exactly, but it was related to moving commits between trunk and maintenance/feature branches and back. I managed to mess up whole repository few times. It mig

If you follow Java & ecosystem at least a bit you needed to read one or two blog posts from reputable community members to figure out what the situation is and what to use. To compare I find a licensing situation on mid-size (50+ direct
