Interesting to know about the 'N'. How about g1 & f1? Any history behind those?


I came up with the naming scheme here. We picked n for Intel as I could be confused with i3/i5/i7.

Early work was done in AMD and we had an a1 series pre launch.

IIRC, g is for Google or Generic where there are no promises on architecture. And f was for fractional.

I've been out of Google for 2+ years now so reality may have drifted from that original scheme.



Out of stock unfortunately.


I use a lot of oh-my-zsh's git aliases and a couple others but here are the ones I've used the most over time and some

alias _=sudo

alias aria='aria2c --file-allocation=none -c -x 10'

alias aria_list='aria2c --file-allocation=none --force-sequential=true -c -x 10 -i'

alias d='dirs -v | head -10'

alias hdmi='xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto --right-of LVDS1'

alias history='fc -l 1'

alias la='ls -lAh'

alias lock='i3lock -c #1E90FF'

alias ls='ls --color=tty'

alias md='mkdir -p'

alias pyfind='find . -name ".py"'

alias pygrep='grep --include=".py"'

alias rd=rmdir

alias reload_sound='pulseaudio -k && sudo alsa force-reload' # when sound messes up

alias settings=gnome-control-center

alias sl=ls

alias utorrent='utserver -settingspath /opt/utorrent-server-alpha-v3_3/ &'

alias vga='xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --right-of LVDS1'

alias vga_same='xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --same-as LVDS1'


Google's CS-First program, http://www.cs-first.com/overview , is great for this.

CS First is a free program that increases student access and exposure to computer science (CS) education through after-school, in-school, and summer programs. All clubs are run by teachers and/or community volunteers.

I'm a volunteer and I've been quite successful starting them in various schools thus far.


I didn't have to worry at all about trying to use webassets in realtime. That's just one of the numerous optimisations I'll sorely miss


It feels weird using "hehe". I type it exactly how I laugh, "haha hahahahahahaha". Although if I feel I might look stupid I try to tone it down with a simple ":D" or the emoji with the laughter to tears.

Oh and I'm 22 ;)


In time.


This has been around for quite sometime[1].

It's also cool to note that there are usually free credits involved in most Google Cloud competitions and some Google Udacity courses. Off the top of my head, I think I might have enjoyed a total of about $3000 since 2013.

Oh and there's the $100000 for Startups[2] that'd be cool to get at some point in time.

For compatibility, I use Ubuntu but without Unity. I've switched Unity out for i3wm[0]. I've set up Terminator[1] to handle multiple profiles and to handle Copy and Paste better.
