Well my trusty Surface Pro 3 developed a screen malady, so I went to the Microsoft store and left with a new Surface Pro 6. It's about the same size as the 3m, but mine has more zCPU and memory. The screen resultion defaults to 2736 x 1824, Wow!

See, the people at Microsoft are not evil after all, they do a lot of charity

I neversaid they were evil, but note that I had to pay regular price for the Surface Pro 6 since my Pro 3 had an unresponsive touch screen theyt gave me no credit for it. So I ended up with the old Pro 3 which works fine with the moiuse and the Pro 6 that is a fantastic toiy I'm using for some serious development weork.

I can't say from experience yet, but it's supposed to be amazing. One customer told me they routinely get 16 hours out of a full charge, but I haven'rt run mine down yet.

I suspect the SP3 was rather elderly? I can just imagine the sales process, what 5 minutes?

Funny you should mention it. Last night I was dealing with a piece of code that would not submit...change this, change that and the same wrong results kept coming back. Even worse, setting a breakpoint showed one set of values but the result was still wrong...over and over, still wrong  ...and then I woke up! I was so annoyed that I had to move to the couch and put on the early morning fake news in order to go back to sleep.

I definitely have dreams that are not about code, but are in code-like patterns, i.e. I can feel I'm moving around through some sort of decision space and entering this bit and coming back and going into that bit, maybe getting stuck in a loop in this other bit. It happens a lot.

I dreamed I married Bjork. She made me wear a plastic bunny suit while she danced around naked, throwing poisonous tree frogs at me. I think it was a metaphor for violence against forest ferns.

No, not a dream, she's crazy like that (in a good way of course)

No, sorry, that is something I never wondered about.
Instead, what I would really want to know is, you know that guy in Disneyland dressed up a big Mickey? When you take a picture of him with all your related, does the guy inside the Mickey smile, too?

Good question!
He probably rolls his eyes so hard his retinas detach.

Nope. The Sphere isn't due to visit Flatland again until 31-Dec-2099.
