Do any of you know what programmer types mean by 'post-modern'? I've seen the term used quite a bit over the last year or so, in contexts where it makes no sense to me (no deconstruction or self-reference or particular irony, etc etc)

The latest sighting that inspired the post is github.com/helix-editor/helix which confusingly describes itself as a post-modern modal text editor. My inner Derrida is confused.

Does anyone I know have opinions on the Thinkpad P50 (to run Linux)? It seems like a pretty good compromise of things I'm looking for in a laptop: the 4K screen option, decent battery life, swappable batteries and generally serviceable parts, the possibility of a second SSD, a reasonable weight, and an Ethernet jack.

Are there downsides I may be unaware of?
