Principal Software Engineer @Microsoft.com CoreOS. I work on #Azure, #Windows, #Linux, #virtualization, containers, storage, networking. Ex-AWS and Nortel. Science, #demoscene, books and gaming. Also https://linkedin.com/in/ofiliz. Opinions my own.
I use the 3-finger swipe left/right touchpad gesture (even on my desktop PC) for switching between apps. Switching apps that way isn't easy if that desktop has multiple browser tabs open, crowding the task view. TIL there is a Windows setting to exclude individual tabs from the task and snap views.

The local church demonstrates extreme selective quoting.

🎵 Imagine there is no hell or heaven ... no religion too... Worship at 10.

A note of gratitude as we welcome 2025.

I've kept this fortune cookie slip in my home office for the past 20 years. It's from our first team lunch after joining Microsoft in late 2004.

Finding peace, meaning and purpose in your work is a blessing.

May 2025 bring you your own happy new adventures.

I have a basic understanding of how LLMs work, so I realize calling this "intelligence" would be akin to seeing ghosts in a teacup. But from a strictly practical get-stuff-done point of view, GitHub #Copilot surprises me a few times a day by practically reading my mind.

Note I only typed "#define".
