bjblazkowicz··on Snatch: A simple and fast download accelerator, in Rust
Aria2 can't manage recursive downloading. Wget can, but wget does not come with a multithreaded option.

I'm still looking for something that can do both.

bjblazkowicz··on Disque – a distributed message broker
As a redis user this seems very promising due to the fact that I no longer have to "simulate" message queue functionality.
bjblazkowicz··on TrackPoint (2011)
This is the sole reason why thinkpads are far superior compared to any laptop.

And the funny thing about TrackPoint is that people that never used it doesent understand how good it is compared to touchpad.

The new "applefied" laptops are a disgrace for humanity.

Yes, but the flight number is displayed before you submit your email address.
