@yminsky Happy for you. System 76 are a little out of my price range at this time, but I love running Ubuntu on a refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T420.

Alright, so, after searching for a while I ended up getting a System76 Lemur Pro as a Linux laptop, and I'm pretty happy with it.

This circle of 5000km radius is centered around Paris. Because of the projection (Mercator) it looks all funny and asymmetrical.

An old program tape with two clearly visible patches, on sections 250 and 260. The punch card's error, as manifested by the punches, was patched in just the same way a bike tire is patched. This is why we call it patching when we fix existing software.

All aspects of human health are eroded by deviating from healthy circadian behaviors. Conversely, early day sunlight, movement, bright light all day, and minimal light at night and sleep improve all disease outcomes and health metrics in the healthy. It’s non-negotiable.

TDD is not: "Take your unit tests as they are and just write them first" TDD is: "Be first user of your code. Drive the implementation with tests. Focus on behavoir. Tests are examples of usage."

I still find the word "grok" to be useful. Despite the fact that fewer people grok grok with every passing year.
