As a huge fan of my Model M (I've owned a couple cheap mechanical keyboards in the past as well), I agree that the appeal is _almost_ entirely nostalgia and aesthetics. I'm strange in that I prefer using a cheap rubber dome keyboa

Any recommendations for a new battery for the X230?

This one actually has 512mb of RAM, funny enough. No RAM doubler or virtual memory enabled. I was using iCab and Word side-by-side. It's the fastest PDQ model made AFAIK. No RAM doubler. The main issue with it right now is that the sou

I just inherited a Powerbook G3 (Wallstreet, 300Mhz G3) from my mother-in-law's closet. Everything is fine and snappy until you have two programs open at once...then all of a sudden everything becomes unresponsive.

I have extreme performance anxiety when it comes to interviews. Recently I had a very good experience interviewing with Netflix, where the take-home assignment allowed me to show what I was capable of doing. All the technical interviews aft

Yes, because they explicitly called out race / national origin. You cannot say "there are too many (X) in the Bay Area". Period, I will not hire you.

As I said: they _literally_ said, "There are too many Chinese and Indians" in the Bay Area. That's a no go. That is not the same as having subjective internal biases about an African American candidate.

McCarthy was a senator in high levels of government. When I consider who I'm employing to be around the people around me, I expect them to be judged on their merits of the job, not their country of origin or visa status. You can critic

I was interviewing a candidate last year for a software engineering position. Interview was fine and he was capable. I decided to find him on Twitter. He said immigration was ruining the country, and that there are too many Indians / C

I think you're right, and it all boils down to this: the left is growing in the United States, and powerful people with large platforms such as Bari Weiss do not like it. Yet it's ironic because left-wing views were consistently c

And yet, if I'm reading Weiss's resignation letter correctly, you would think that Massad should not be fired for that characterization.

The woke-left isn't going around arresting people, nor do they have much (if any) influence in high levels of government.

Slight tangent, does anyone know of any virtual "audio" device (in Mac OS or Windows) that you can attach VSTs / AUs to? I know that technically Zoom allows you to share computer audio but a controlled audio device would allo

Our enterprise app has similar numbers (20 million unique monthly user sessions). There’s literally nothing we can do about it either—if a large number of Fortune 500 customers say we must support it, we have to keep supporting it, period.

The closure of the Perg was devastating news to me. My wife and I were reminiscing of good times there right outside of the building as it was being remodeled during a recent visit and got in an argument with the restaurant owner who was tu

For individuals making small sites, it's absolutely overkill. For my job, with hundreds of developers working on a giant SPA blob with constant feature creep, frameworks like React are a necessary evil to maintain the insanity.

How does CD suck among digital formats (at least, from a sound quality perspective)? For what it's worth, I am a member of a private music tracker and there are plenty of vinyl rips available. I've found that in many cases, the vi

I don’t think they ever did. I run mine in Steam using Proton without any configuration minus a widescreen fix, which has actually been a lot easier than trying to get it to work in Windows 10 (I use amdgpu)

As a 3rd generation white person in the US, what specific European ancestry I have is meaningless to me. I find the health tests to be more interesting than the ancestry, though it was a bit scary though having to click through all the warn
