It's worth mentioning hard acceleration causes a torque multiplication to occur in torque converters vs a slow acceleration does not (check me on that). Once locked up, multiplication no longer occurs. Thank you hot rod magazines of th

This line of thinking is utterly bizarre to me. People need to stop thinking of GitHub as anything other than a typical corporation. If they could charge an additional dollar they would keep it for themselves.

This is what happened during the last major downturn. There was an influx of startups. If you want to stay in tech during a downturn you either start a business, join a startup, stay in school or switch industries. What you don't do is

I don't disagree with that call out. However, we've been through these discussions many times over the years. The solid queue of yesteryear was delayed_job which was originally created by Shopify's CEO. https://git

The older XPS 15 were very solid (for a PC, still no where near a Mac)and they absolutely destroyed them. Complete garbage now, and at MBP price point too! They really lost their way.

Arc Raiders on linux is fully supported and a lot of fun. Lots of people have steam decks and lots of people will have a steam machine. There will be FPS multi on linux. The larger studios might not, but many more will.

Dell offers several models with Ubuntu. Other smaller manufacturers also support linux, for example Framework and System76. A tiny minority to be sure. Microsoft's EOL for Win10 means a lot of people are either going to e-waste their o

I slapped 96GB of ram into my 13 framework laptop last year, when prices were cheap. I'm probably going to upgrade next cycle for fun and give my current laptop away (I'll keep the ram). I'm sure that laptop will last a very

As Win10 is officially unsupported now, non-tech people have come to me to ask me what they should buy as a new laptop. So far I've been successful in installing Ubuntu or having them install Ubuntu and go on about their life. The vast

A lot of ruby gems have definitely seemed to suffer from brain drain the last few years. It's worth noting that the creator of Elixir was also an author of Devise.

As someone who did Rails professionally for a very long time, Phoenix/Elixir is now my default stack. Possibly the one thing that Rails still does better is generating quick throw away CRUD apps with their generators. Rails is still pr

If I pay for something and you don't tell me upfront on the box that it only supported until a certain date in big bold letters (like smoke detectors do). I'm never going to buy a product from you again.
