My anecdote is a bit different, I got a Tuxedo Pulse 15 Gen 2, and during the first few months I had overheating while charging, keys that would get stuck in pressed mode (which happened even in the UEFI menu), and the occasional black scre

Maybe what they mean is that, despite an asymptotic advantage, the new algorithm performs worse for many use cases than the older ones. This might be due to the many heuristics that solvers apply to make problems tractable as others have me

I can't say using vendor specific icons is wrong, clearly a lot of people need just that, but I always miss more generic architectural components in these diagramming tools. That's the problem I have with the `diagrams` Python pac

To be clear, while I believe focusing on high school has a negative impact on diversity, I don't think this is intentional on Canonical's part. Also I should say the overall recruitment process works, I was not the right candidate

I don't know whether it's a deliberate strategy but this definitely happened to me during my interview with Canonical this year. From a diversity perspective, putting any focus on teenage years will probably select candidates from

The saddest part is how a lot of technical work goes to waste, because Packt won't give authors even the bare minimum technical review and copy-editing support. I started reading "Mastering Linux Device Driver Development" a

Npm didn't support lockfiles until version 5, released in 2017, Yarn had them at launch in 2016. Before that committing node_modules was often used as a form of vendoring, to get reproducible builds. If a new project these days commits

The code is here: https://github.com/diegov/searchbox But don't let its attempt at a friendly README fool you, it's personal-grade software of "works-on-my-machine", and barely, quality. If you want

At my previous company there were several attempts to build declarative migration systems, one of which was more or less successful. They were all a lot more modest in scope and goals than Atlas. The motivation is very straight forward: if

I scrape all my bookmarks, github / gitlab stars, favorite tweets, etc... regularly, and push that to an elasticsearch instance, so that I can do full text searches later. This is the only reliable way for me to find something I have a

Native comp is great. Most of the speed ups are modest, but it's really noticeable in some really slow operations. For example, calculating org-table summaries in a very large org file I have (way too large, but I'm too lazy to ar

Same here, it's very useful for waterfall scenarios but I've never used it for agile planning and I'm not sure it would have a place in that kind of workflow. Also, for medium-sized projects and up I've found its plannin

The argument is usually that non-linear effects of the size of their network make the potential or actual harm Facebook do much greater than anyone else, therefore it makes sense to focus on them. Calling them "evil" can be useful

This is useful to attackers in social engineering scenarios for sure. Additionally, some KBA authentication schemes might still be in place which make leaks like this one particularly problematic. Eg. one of my banks still asks relatively e
