I started making people meet me halfway. You want me to work on your computer? Please bring it to my house where I have everything I need to work on it. You want me to work on your alarm system? Please have all the manuals ready when I get there to expedite repairing what's wrong. You'd be surprised how far your requests go down.

I like helping people and while doing so attempt to teach them about how to fix things rather than them just passively watching. I also encourage them to ask questions.

I can't watch the video due to the hour and the fact that my man is asleep behind me.
Do they have the odd, less-than-upstanding developer that waves a dead chicken over their code?
I'm curious if I'm represented.

To whose entrails are you referring? The Marketing critters', the sales critters', or the managers'?

Ah the voodoo coder. Do you keep pins and a PC doll next to you at all times? If not try it works pretty good.

Actually, I find that waving a live chicken works better in many cases - it helps identify the chicken droppings in the code
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Haven't heard from Nagy in a while. He's the gin wizard right?

After months of trying to get a new laptop, this Monday I will get a brand new one!
a Thinkpad P14s Gen 2 with AMD R7 5850U PRO processor, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD...
Can't wait to put my hands on that thing...
|
|
|
|
|
good for you!
I am waiting for my new Dell laptop for two months already....
diligent hands rule....

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the R7's performance. They are monsters.

I hope so...
tried to get the last model last year but was completely impossible... then I abandoned all hope and tried to get 2 different computer models with Intel... but it was again impossible due to chips shortage... and then this one appeared with exactly my specs and a reduction in price... so... was difficult to say no...

Last year I got a monster with a 1 Tb drive. Haven't used much of the capacity, but wanted to know how much I waste.
Several gigabytes in "Downloads", you stop deleting things if you have that much space. And no, didn't delete it, got enough room left.

Nowadays I am always carrying 1TB external SSD with me, this will end.
My idea is:
1. All the software installed, keeping versions of old programs to be able to work with old machines without needing to reinstall things and libraries.
2. All my virtual machines with me and one for every different industrial software.
3. All my server important documents synchronized with my laptop like google drive / one drive but with my nas, that way I will work always locally and files will synch to the NAS once WIFI is available.
4. All my projects in my laptop always.
5, All the videos of the machines I've participated in, local in my SSD.
6. All my FLAC files with me, enough of choosing the soundtrack.
7. Being able to take a few films with me when travelling.
Sure some space will be empty, but better having too much than lacking space, we all know that sooner or later that SSD will be full...

Existing laptop is 4 years old and is no slouch. I hate you  . End of my fiscal year coming up, might be time to pull the trigger.
How old was your old laptop?

A Thinkpad T460s... 5 years old (SSD, 12GB RAM, i7-6600u).
I've been feeling it slow when using youtube, virtual machines are incredibly slow, not enough SSD space, ...
A good computer with plenty of ports... but warranty expired 1 year ago, wanted to replace it then, but has been impossible due to chips shortage.
I've seen it is inside the courier van already!

I know the new beast is coming in. Before you start installing all of your s/w, go get a license for VMWare or grab OpenBox. Segregate what you do on your laptop. My laptop has personal stuff plus development stuff and a bunch of VMs. Create a VM for all your personal stuff. Create multiple VMs depending on how you want to split out your development activities. In five years, you'll thank me  .

I tried to bring up CodeProject and the number of users was -1.
I know some of my jokes are bad but I didn't think they would be that bad
