Likewise. Running LINQPad in Parallels just isn’t the same.

There is no GFW in Hong Kong, so you enjoy unfettered Internet access. For traffic inbound to China from HK, traditionally it's been slightly faster but that may just be proximity rather than any preferential treatment by the GFW.

Recently went through the same process. I really like the management interface and tight integration with GSuite. They don't support all of the latest TLDs though, so be sure to check first if you want to do a complete port away from y

Good. 99% of it was utter bullshit and any worthwhile research was getting drowned out. Regardless of whether or not blockchian and cryptocurrencies end up being pivotal technologies in future, one positive fallout is that we are asking &qu

Norton Commander. https://bit.ly/2SBnriS Nothing since has ever made me feel so in control of my file system. There have been a few clones, but never quite hit the spot.

I first heard of Franzen through a book review by the Welsh professor Robert Adams. Adams is a tour de force, who brings an incredible depth and character to every book he reviews. He retired years ago, but TVO has thankfully archived some

This kind of thing reminds me why I still love the Internet. Thank you for sharing.

For whatever he gets right or wrong, this is a fascinating look back into the past. Thanks for sharing!

This is actually a big deal. You can go right through Hong Kong and never leave Mainland jurisdiction. Talk about showing who owns who. There was a bit of moaning about it in HK, but it was off the front page news fairly quickly.

I did a year in Berlin and tend to agree with Peter Thiels assessment - “I always thought Berlin would be a great place for innovation, but now I think it’s a place people in their 20s move to when they want to retire” Personally I had a lo

That’s a good point, which I should’ve mentioned as it goes hand in hand with the topic. Despite how intense some situations can get in China, I’ve rarely ever felt physically threatened. It’s culturally abnormal to resort to violence. Yes

Since the line-cutting topic seems to be of interest, I thought I’d share some first hand experience. Having succumbed to the need for a Big Mac a handful of times during a decade long stint in China, I became accustomed to the devolution o

No they’re not, they are frighteningly accurate for the most part. There are two things that one should keep in mind to help one be less offended; 1) It’s not only the Chinese 2) It’s not all Chinese

I think it’s fine, most Chinese people complain about these things too. Nobody likes a line-jumper, in any culture. What I think is a problem is to suggest the entire Chinese populous of being money-loving but without asking how that happen

The way to think about censorship and risk in China is to consider reach. This article is in English, and hosted on what appears to be the authors own blog. The chance of it being spread to any significant number of people in the Mainland i

Another Aussie in Toronto. I’ve found the driving here quite a contrast to back home. Drivers tend to veer all over the road, and don’t really indicate. Love the relatively small number of speed cameras though, Australia is getting a bit ou

Reminds me of this quote from the tabbacco industry in the early 90s; “We don't smoke that shit. We just sell it. We reserve the right to smoke for the young, the poor, the black and the stupid." - R.J. Reynolds executive’s reply

Democracy at its finest! One minor positive is the requirement for disclosure, but time will tell if this is actually enforced. As an Australian, I feel a mounting sense of fear that we’re next...

Tools we love: 1) Discord - superb chat, voice & screen sharing (weak on file sharing) 2) GitHub - +LFS if you track large binaries 3) Paper - note taking tool from Dropbox (best for personal use only) 4) Dropbox - bit pricey but more n

One of the best set of science fiction novels I’ve read. I’m always surprised at how few sci-fi loving friends haven’t heard of the Hyperion Cantos. It should be required reading. Apparently it’s being made into a movie. All four books sque

As an Aussie, I don’t necessarily want to overthrow my government (what’s a circus without the clowns), but I do like the fact I can safely voice my displeasure if and when I feel it’s useful. Having moved to Taiwan after spending many year
