About b3b0p

Email: chris.kaukis@gmail.com

Hi,

My name is Christopher (mom named me after Christopher Robin). You can call me Chris though.

I am a developer, programmer, coder, software engineer. Whatever title is in style and politically correct on this day. They say I'm a senior, but I feel like such a baby.

I like to build, code, learn and teach.

I live in Minneapolis, downtown proper.

I like to play Mario and Zelda.

I like to watch movies.

I like to read Foxtrot by Bill Amend.

I like to watched dubbed anime.

My favorite anime is Cowboy Bebop.

I like to play pick up ice hockey.

If I was a Muppet I would be Kermit.

If I was a Peanut I would be Charlie Brown.

    I have a leather Leap, Embody (every option), Aeron (every option; upgrade). I can agree, it's probably the better of these 3 I have. It's a tank and Steelcase told me it doesn't c…

    All my others have been posted already, except: Shadows of the Empire [0] When I read it the intriguing parts were that it took place between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the …

    I have a MacBook Pro 15", which is too big and actually pretty much resent and hate. an iPad Pro 11" which I absolutely love, but is abysmal and no where near any good for coding o…

    How so? Intermittent fasting is basically skipping breakfast for most people. Wake up late or sleep in a little extra, maybe make some coffee, go to work or school. Something most …

    This is what I plan to do. I am trying to patiently wait for the Asus ROG version. It appears to have been delayed and there are 2 versions. One with a tripod and one with a typica…

    Almost exactly same situation with exactly same salary. I work at a bootstrapped startup.

    4-5 years doesn't sound significant to me. I still have an iPhone 6, bought new nearly the day it was released. It plays music, it does podcasts. I can text, answer calls. It's no …

    Maybe this isn't the place to post this, but it's been on my mind, especially with the recent release of Catalina, iOS 13, and iPadOS and this post made me recall. With the hiring …

    Can you please provide your plan and outline to get through it in a week that you used? From my experience if doing all the exercises a chapter a week is still a challenge.

    I can agree with this. It's especially wonderful without aliasing on an even multiple Retina display. For example, 2x on a 5k Monitor (iMac, LG Ultrafine) or MacBook Pro. It's simp…

    I moved from Austin Downtown to Minneapolis for almost this reason. I didn't want to buy a car either and many if not most of the jobs are up in Round Rock or too far to bike or wa…

    I'm still rocking an iPhone 6 and Apple stopped updates for me. I can't install iOS 13. I honestly don't have much desire to upgrade. I only use it for Music and podcasts with the …

    I'm a developer also. I have no issues with the Touch Bar. I kind of like it. I never used the F keys anyway. I mapped my escape key to caps lock. I view it as the next iteration o…

    Here I am with an iPhone 6 still. It plays music, like my iPod did. As well as podcasts. I don't use any apps otherwise that don't come with it from Apple. On the rare occasion som…

    If this persons definition of social media is only Facebook and Instagram then I removed social media for the last 3 or more years. Removing these (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) we…

    Haha, you mention this, but I found it helps me find posts that slipped by my addiction. A blessing in disguise.

    Can't agree. Coming from a Thinkpad (the standard for what makes a great keyboard), PowerBook Titanium (keyboard was bad, but nothing like the 2016/17 MacBook Pro), PowerBook 12 / …

    You could also walk into the Apple store. Go to the back corner. Pick up a box with a new battery in it for $119 (iirc). Buy it and walk out with a new battery. All in a single day…

    You mention the RAM and hard drive, but it irks me more my keyboard is not replaceable. It's the most used moving component of the entire unit. It's exposed and susceptible to dama…
