El problema de ser empleado

Bueno, siempre terminas siendo empleado de alguien… en el mejor de los casos de tus clientes ?, pero al menos a los clientes eventualmente les puedes decir que no.

Cuando eres uno más en la nómina eres prescindible y por mucho que te esfuerces no vas a ganar mucho mas. Recuerda que como empleado siempre generas más de lo que te pagan, la empresa para la que trabajas se queda con parte de lo que tu generas.

Si puedes crecer en la empresa que estás, que buena onda, pero si no, ¿entonces por qué seguir ahí? read more

A Message to Our Customers – Apple

To clearly see the lie around here, Apple says the issue comes from unexpected shutdowns in iDevices because the battery couldn’t keep the load to power the CPU. So, the battery is defective, but they wanted to hide that by reducing the clock speed of the CPU so it won’t use that much power and they don’t have to apply warranties to the users.

I don’t know how is a good user experience that as soon as my iPad upgraded to iOS 11 it became super sluggish while in iOS 10 was kind of fast. To me that is not a good user experience. No mention that downgrading to iOS 10 is not a super simple task. read more

AF_UNIX comes to Windows – Windows Command Line Tools For Developers

Short story… Microsoft have this NEED to support Linux because of the “cloud” infrastructure it have. A big chunk of azure instances run Linux instead of Windows and they are porting Linux/Unix tools to Windows (eg. Bash for Windows, etc.) to keep Windows relevant in this field.

So, Microsoft Developers are having a pain in the ass doing this ports because Windows doesn’t support AF_UNIX sockets, BSD and Linux have long time supporting them; and even when Microsoft have something kind of similar called “pipes” there are differences that make really hard to do such ports. read more

REPOST: Speed up SSH with ControlMaster

NOTE: This  is a re-post from the old blog which you can find here

Quick post, this is an ancient method to speed up ssh connections, I’m just leaving it here.

When we use SSH mostly all the times we create a new connection, even if we are connecting with the same host at the same port with the same user. I’ve been using SSH for a long time and to me this was fine, at the end the connection is “pretty” fast and the delay time creating the connection is just ok. read more

Having a third screen with the MBP

  • Samsung screen: The usual VGA/HDMI adapter
  • iPad: Using DuetDisplay

Although there are some performance issues with Duet, to display text (which is what I do) is just fine. Now I can have the browser, the IDE (PyCharm if you are wondering) and iTerm 2.

Since is another screen attached to the laptop you can use it to display any other thing that is being processed by your main computer, and can move apps between the screens with no problem at all.
