    I agree with pretty much everything what you've said here! > I much prefer to try to get us to speak in our own languages, even if it requires effort. Also, when it does work, we'd…

    My two cents, I skimmed through a few texts and I can understand 60-70% of what I've read. I'm a native Russian speaker, btw. However, I'd say I'd be skeptical about this whole ide…

    My work laptop is a mbp 2018 (i9, 32GB). The battery life is abysmal. I typically get a little bit over 2 hours. I'm not going to lie though: I'm always running Atom or VSCode and …
