Current workplace: Windows computers with all development being done in Linux VMs. Management and a few younger devs are pushing for WSL, while several older devs are demanding Linux-only laptops.
Previous workplaces: One more with Windows + Linux VMs. One with Windows + X remote desktop to development servers. One with Linux PCs.
I have been exclusively applying for jobs that promised Linux development though.
I just wanted to test if it was viable to run larger MoE LLMs on CPU, e.g. Qwen3-next-80B-A3B… Even if I got acceptable generation speeds I’d probably get bored with it after a few hours, as with other local models. Had I got it for €700 it was pretty low value for money anyway, since my current RAM is enough for everything else I use the computer for. On the positive side, I can put that money towards a Steam Frame instead.
… I was thinking about buying a 96GB DDR5 kit from the local computer store a few weeks ago, but wasn’t sure it was actually worth €700. Checked again now and the exact same product costs €1500. I guess that settles it, 32GB will have to be enough for the next couple of years then.
IIRC their web site used to make it sound like it was a paid product but it was always possible to get it for free. Can’t remember the exact details, perhaps something similar to those “name your price” softwares that have a pre-filled recommended value but it’s also possible to choose €0? I checked what it looks like nowadays and the Pro version does come up first if you go to downloads, and then there’s a free Core version below it.
Paper GTK theme is a little bit similar, though with more vibrant colours ofc.
These aliases for zsh I use all the time. It’s part of the prezto configuration framework.
setopt AUTO_CD # Auto changes to a directory without typing cd. setopt AUTO_PUSHD # Push the old directory onto the stack on cd. setopt PUSHD_IGNORE_DUPS # Do not store duplicates in the stack. setopt PUSHD_SILENT # Do not print the directory stack after pushd or popd. setopt PUSHD_TO_HOME # Push to home directory when no argument is given. alias d='dirs -v' for index ({1..9}) alias "$index"="cd +${index}"; unset indexType
dand enter to list all the directories you’ve recently been in, then type the number at the start of the line followed by enter to immediately cd there.Not sure if latest bash can do it the same thing, but some years ago I wrote a script to implement it there too. IIRC it might’ve been the automatic removal of duplicates in dir history that was missing.
