Please do remember that Torvalds worked for Transmeta which created and designed vliw CPUs from scratch. He's also really practical guy if you happen to remember about Minix micro-kernel VS monolithic Linux-kernel ;)

Yep, the price published for Finland feels really weird. The operators are nowadays selling even even unlimited data prepaids for 20-30 euros or 1 eur per day. This of course makes gigabyte price comparison a bit hard as it depends how much

Good point about the software. Cube was published when Mac OS X was in its infancy. Ended up doing some expo gig where we presented it with the Mac OS X Public Beta running Mac OS Classic version of Photoshop. The Cube was so cool for its t

Do you happen to have any idea, whether older RPIs like 1 or 2 could work for this fast enough? Have some of those laying around.

This kind of depends whether you have something urgent work to handle through Github. Been waiting for over an hour so I could continue my work but Github PR-functionality hasn't shown latest changes because of the currently happening

Ha, it's awesome how much further we have gotten from the times of Quicktime VR! So much of details and clarity.

I miss the constrained design of Mac OS Classic. You could use multiple windows even on those puny Mac SE -type 512x384 displays and with some 1024x768 display you could have lots of different things happening for file operations, apps etc.

Also, for some reason this art piece looks better live than on paper or on screen. It may have something to do with its size and how eye handles it live.

Used JED in the 90s to 00s until nano became a default lightweight editor. Was a lot faster to start for small edits than Emacs. Really liked the editor.

I've had about two cups of coffee in my whole life but I'm addicted to tea. Especially good quality senchas. At work place I was drinking about 2-4 x 450 ml per work day. Now at isolation home it's 2-3 cups (maybe 200-250ml

I would go with some middle ground. I have my bash and git aliases etc for fast local work (which speeds up my normal work), but I have nothing so complicated I couldn't live without them on a random remote server. I would like to star

I’ve been a scifi and fantasy nerd for my whole life but Dostoevsky’s and Mika Waltari’s books have been more influential in understanding humans, their motivations and emotions than most of the fiction. Wish I could find more of something

I used an noname USB floppy disk to read HD floppies. I believe they are quite standard stuff but I guess the 400K and 800K DD floppies are different story. Both Linux and current Mac OS X can read HFS formatted floppies and CDs nice and da

It kind of still is a major player in the _film photography_ scene at least. Kodak Alaris[1][2] still produces film and development chemicals + other photography related gear and services. It just isn't that kind of big mammoth it was

Been dabbling with getting into film photography and that document looks quite useful compared to more generic "how to photograph"-books and web sites. This books goes into the gritty details which one needs to be able to get good

Marathons are awesome games still. It’s kinda sad that most of the PC players missed them. If my memory serves me right, only Marathon 2 was publishes on Windows quite late and it got bad reviews because of Quake and its 3d graphics. Marath

Bose QC 35 ii is not worth the money. They are overpriced and have bunch of problems: * QA seems lacking. Our whole team has company sponsored QC 35 ii's and one came as DOA, couple of them have suffered the same fate within a year * N

I’ve been hearing quite a lot of praise for Win10 in the last few years, but in reality my colleagues are cursing it daily and bashing their heads against basic dev stuff that works nice and dandy with Macs or with Linux. Win10 may be ok fo

Actually, in practice Oodi is bright and open place inviting both participation and hanging around. It also has quieter space, separate story and play area for small children, cafes, movie theatre. It's like hanging out in a mall witho

It's kind of funny that the amount of physical media is criticized. It still has 100k books, movies, magazines and other loanable stuff in total. And it's only one of the libraries in Helsinki region, and into which you can order

Actually, it’s awesome that they have realized that the definition of library is changing from a store of media into place where people can meet and hang around and do stuff together. There isn’t that much of public space for people unless

Ended up evaluating bunch of different Saas services last year and the best I found for the team and our use cases was Wrike. The UI was quite slick and didn't come between the developer and the task too much. Had quite good reporting
