My thoughts on the points raised in the article: * Differences in keystroke logging - this has nothing to do with the switch and everything to do with the design of the traces on the board, the controller, and the interface to the computer.

AFAIK they just resell commodity generic laptops under their brand and they do some System76 specific things to them such as open source bios firmwares. I may be wrong but when I looked into them years back thats what I uncovered. I think

I'm in the same boat where my eyes were not as good as they used to be and I often run a scaled display rather than 1:1. I'm using Ubuntu 18.x LTS and it comes out of the box with gnome but I primarily use i3wm. I was able to sc

google music being shut down and youtube music being a terrible replacement was enough to push me to set up my own plex - loving it so far. I run it off a raspi.

An aside but I didn't care as much before but now during covid I wish covid specific articles were not behind a paywall.

I don't know either but I think you're right anyway - the device closest to production of sound should probably have these physical controls. I agree with the article and hate having to find or fumble with a software based mute&#

I guess for HN OP should have refactored the title to be "Actually Portable Executable" but I thought the whole point of the title was that it's something we can interpret that has been "written in something else" w

This is a pretty terrible idea. I've run a wiki at work and a lot of the information is outdated but a lot of it is also still really relevant even given that the page has not been touched in 3-5 years. Somewhat wiki related but on th

Another good resource I always point my developers to: https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/ As someone who manages many codebases this combined with thoughtful squashed commits allows me to (1) understand at a

I was told to eat a serving of almond butter and some almonds as my lunch. Maybe flag some things as 'snacks' and try and pair a meal item like a sandwich with a snack item like 8 almonds.

In my experience I don't see them as mutually exclusive. Good comments in code should still be in place. In my opinion the git history should not explain what the code does necessarily but instead the nature of the changes that were

Intel used to sell motherboards too which anecdotally I seem to recall them being expensive but performant and this article covers how around 2013 when Intel got out of the motherboard business their support of next gen processors (i.e. pos

Anecdotally I would argue that the last 10 years have seen a more significant improvement in car technology and capability than the prior 10 years. If we look at power alone even though EPA regulations have only gotten stricter during the s

As a desktop user of Firefox on Linux I found the two demos with the modified scrollbars subjectively worse than default. As a user I use the scroll bar to (1) identify if a section can be scrolled, (2) identify where in the section I am w

The keyboard enthusiast community online is pretty notorious for gatekeeping and people often conflate something being objectively bad with their subjective opinion. In reality it's all about preference and what feels right to the ind

Yeah - I found it ironic that out of the box I couldn't get a pi-hole to do DNS lookups. It always took manual fixing.

I wish pi-hole was just a tiny bit more polished. I found it takes a lot of work (and knowledge of linux networking) to get up and running properly and stable.

I've had the same experience though I only noticed that the speed test and pages related to it ran very fast but I got no comparable boost to other traffic.

Getting blocked. A few years ago I worked with a team who would hit a minor roadblock and just completely stop producing code. There would be a lot of energy spent on emails, ticket updates, creation of new issues, and theoretical and aca

You mentioned the Slate - I have a Pixelbook and it meets your criteria above (although the i5-7Y57 might not be enough depending on your workload).

Yeah my pi-hole blocked this one too and after reading the comments here I am glad :)

I agree here. OP's article mentions Chris Beam's page [1] and I have all our developers follow that structure which helps but ultimately the biggest strength is the final line with the link to our JIRA. [1] https://chr

As a non mainframe programmer I found your anecdote about windows reliability contrary to the experience I have had over the past few decades so I am not sure how accurate the rest of your post is.

When I click the link nothing renders and after I closed the window and tried to go back the link now redirects me to 4chan? I guess I wont browse HN at work anymore.

While I agree with your sentiment I also acknowledge that implementing something properly and having enterprise customers is often unrelated.

This - coming from thinkpads the trackpad / keyboard appears to be too much of a downgrade for me to spend money on a System76 but I have been following them for some time.
