Currently watching decent good cpu (5Ghz) with 64G ram on it. Not sure what you call garbage software, but building my own compilers and software takes some power and RAM.

@Suiseiseki
Yep. That's why I don't care about UEFI. I can't work with those old ones. I don't want to wait another two hours for my compilation to finish or, even worse, for an OOM error to occur.

@Suiseiseki
Is there any modern / fast laptops that support legacy BIOS mode or way not to use UEFI?

@Suiseiseki
What do you mean by 'init software'? Do you mean BIOS?

I am not a desktop person but this is really a good looking pc.

Korean police just needed a ladder - didn't even need a single bullet. If you're American, you'd probably be shocked that the police solved the problem without any bullets or guns.

Not lawmakers, not judges in court, not the media, but these people sitting out in this snowy weather are the ones who uphold #democracy in #Korea.

I ran https://github.com/alacritty/vtebench and found Ghostty is faster than Kitty in benchmarks. Not sure if that really impacts practical real-world use. Feature-wise, I use a tiling window manager and tmux, so I don't need all the fancy features Ghostty provides. If you're happy with your current terminal emulator and don't feel it's slow, you don't need to consider Ghostty. For the test, I compiled and configured Ghostty in my machine. So I set it as my backup terminal emulator.

I spent my college freshman and sophomore years in this amazed city a while ago, and it was not like this today. Something is really broken in #nyc

You can bring your own outside food to movie theaters in Korea (if your food does not disturb others).

Seems like Ghostty released their 1.0, and many YouTube videos are praising it. But it seems there’s no reason for me to switch my terminal emulator from Kitty to Ghostty.

C is not a low-level language. It is a high-level language. Computer science does not have a long history. Please be aware of how and why programming languages have evolved. If you understand why these languages were invented and how they impacted each other in early days, you would never say C is a low-level language. #programming

If you are interested in Korea, this will not be a waste of your time; https://youtu.be/-GlljNAiXZM #SouthKorea #Economy

Seems I have used more Vim bindings than Emacs bindings this month, so I ended up using both Emacs and Vim bindings. If you are using more than programming language, why not two different key bindings? - Also Qwerty and Colemak, 2벌식 and 3벌식(Korean).

@psc I've got a stable but (10years) old CPU VPC in the US West region. VPS plans in Japan usually cost more than in the US or EU. Latency from Korea to the US is about 150ms, but it's only around 30ms to Japan.

One of my cheap and terrible VPSs is down, and of course, their support is unresponsive. It's the first downtime since I launched it 10 days ago. Sadly, they are the only provider I have in Northeast Asia. Is a terrible/unstable VPS worth €4?

I really hate to use VNC.

@ianthetechie JSON was not designed for human readability, even though we can read it much more easily compared to XML.

Emacs is one of the worst terminal emulators - we all know that. Also, most Emacs haters are actually the most hardcore Emacs users. I call this a 'love-hate relationship.'

Calculus 3rd edition by Michael Spivak (1994) Hardcover . This book has actually impacted my life more than the Bible. (I’m not a religious person, but I read it to understand Western culture.)
