Most properties are bought cash. That's dollar bills, no bank transfer, no pesos.

Except nobody questions when people at the office "steal" time ot the coffee machine, talking about sports, talking on the phone or just wandering around thinking about something. At home it seema like we are bolted to the chairs

X220 owner here. Do all modern laptops (even thinkpads) have those crappy keyboards? Need to upgrade soon, or maybe I'll RDP to a bigger system

I know. I just wanted to emphasize on Zoom being the only thing that makes an otherwise perfect computer not powerful enough (for me of course).

X220 is my primary computer. It never uses more than 4 of the 16GB RAM. I ran the fan almost all the time at full speed tough. The killer app (in a bad sense) is Zoom. It kills the CPU and can't handle virtual backgrounds.

High inflation question: Given 40% inflation. An item is offered for $1200 in 12 "zero interest" payments of $100 or $800 in cash. How do you compare their real cost taking into account inflation?

I remember creating a web query form for an employee search or something like that using CA Clipper and reading stdin an spitting our HTML on stdout. Worked like a charm, was fast and made that data available to whoever needed it.

Do USA schools teach that America is one continent divided in north, central and south America? Or is it America=USA ? I'm from South America and we learn it's one continent

last time it was: install tcpdump on java server doing nasty things. save pcap. Analyze with Wireshark, find out the JAVA app was doing insane things against the Oracle DB even after vendo said they had "optimized" database access

Wireshark. I've saved countless enterprise problems that nobody could debug by intercepting traffic and guessing, or looking at the raw data nobody knew was there. Python list comprehensions + ipython: it changed how I approach all com
