    Impressions from a first-time Mac user

    Apple’s 2021 16‑inch MacBook Pro is the first Mac I’ve ever used. The machine is insanely well-built. Windows and Linux have what I would call “sane window management” The Macbook Pro has ports that any PC laptop user has had for years.

    Things I can't do on MacOS which I can do on Ubuntu

    Here's a partial list of everything I cannot do on a Mac, but I can do on Ubuntu. These are things which either are impossible, or require adding unsupported 3rd party software - sometimes at a cost. I've never "got" the appeal of a Mac. But I have to use one for work.

    1,000,000 Concurrent Connections

    There are 65535 TCP port numbers, does that mean only 65535 clients can connect to a TCP server? One might think that this places a hard limit on the number of clients that a single computer/application can maintain. The theoretical limit a server can support on a single port is 248 which is about 1 quadrillion.

    helix-editor/helix: A post-modern modal text editor.

    Helix is a kakoune / neovim inspired editor, written in Rust. Features include Vim-like modal editing, built-in language server support, and code editing via tree-sitter. It's a terminal-based editor first, but I'd like to explore a custom renderer (similar to emacs)

    Windows vs MacOS vs Linux – Operating System Handbook

    In this article I'm going to give a brief introduction to operating systems and compare the three main OSs that are out there nowadays. First we're going to review what an OS is and little history about them. Then, we'll review the main features and differences of the most popular operating systems (Windows, Mac, and GNU/Linux)
