the not-that-bumpy (!) first steps of my journey — I’ve found out about the Rust programming language a few years ago. I did check it out fast then, but I said it wouldn’t be for me: I didn’t need nor wanted to learn any new low level language, I thought. Still, I did run through a short tutorial when…

It’s not the price, nor the SSD*! — Yes, all tests show it: M2 base model storage is slower*, while the new Air is pricier. But none of these are reasons why I would still purchase an M1 Macbook Air rather than a similar M2 if I were into a position to take such decision today. * I…

to just do some Rust, for example — If you are like me, you don’t want to mess up with your beautiful macOS installation, so you won’t trust the recommended Rust installing procedure, even if you do like the language and really want to do more than a few initial steps with it (and all besides playing online…

— happens ~every day to us, programmers — For the younger me, again. Or for any young programmers who haven’t yet learned this lesson and would accept some external advice — it’s OK if you don’t, I was just like you; you can then read just for fun or, why not, only for awareness: that may help sometimes…

macOS, iOS, Windows, Linux, Web; update: Android — I’ve been taking a lot these weeks about me going analogue, returning to the basics, and even about accepting some level of spirituality in my life (a shock!), so I think I should now cut it and just write a plain old tech article again. Or else I’d simply lose…

(ouch, another post about me; this is really, really the last one of the series; I hope :)) — I’ve written some time ago about the Apple Watch and its circles — how they allowed me to create very healthy habits such as walking every day and exercising more at home. I’m still thankful for that. Recently, however, for some reason or another, I also started to like analogue…

and why I won’t easily accept to get out of my [classic algorithmic programming] confort zone — Quantum computing is more natural than all contemporary electronics. Simply because nature itself runs on quantum mechanics at its core level and conceptually I guess there’s no need for very deep abstractions around the existing physical elements to create the “superposition-able” qubits that this new type of machines would need…

(sort of) — I’ve said it more than a couple of times already, but I must repeat it once more: I’m (still) in love with my M1 MacBook Air that I’ve bought in 2021, more than one year ago (wow). Fast forwarding to June 2022. WWDC keynote. Apple has announced the new M2…
