Neither do I. Well, I do like my main computer, I enjoy having lots of ram, cpu power, large monitor. Because I spend a lot of time with it. But. I have an iPad for 2 years that I haven't used, almost ever (got it as a present). I don&

Linux is not something that handles hiDPI. X handles it, Gnome handles it, Qt handles it. Almost all of them are a bit different, and you have to take care of them separately. There are things that already work together well, e.g. X DPI det

Sorry - it's better for my job. But e.g. for Xamarin development it's worse :) I don't even consider macOS because I never liked the Mac hardware (had a late 2013 rMBP...)

I am using Slack, GotoMeeting, join.me, etc., and in general -- I'm working remotely. Linux is better for development, but worse for collaboration. You can get almost everything working, but it takes effort. GotoMeeting screensharing t

Hm, I don't know -- have you used more powerful stuff? I have a 2x10 core desktop with 64G RAM and a relatively powerful Dell Latitude workstation laptop -- and the latter is significantly slower. (I'm also running Java microservi

This comment also shows that privacy is always based on trust. Trusting Cisco, Google, Microsoft, OpenSSL devs, Whisper Systems, whatever. You can decide who's more sympathetic, moxie, Zuckerberg, Nadella..

The universally hated JEE can do distributed transactions by default. Yes, with pitfalls, but it can. (It is usually hated by devs who have never used it properly.)

Taking a log file, grep, sed to extract some numbers and then create a graph that shows the distribution of those numbers (histogram). It was one-off, I could have used some command-line tools to do all of those but then I'd have spend
