About 8 hours. That is the biggest sacrifice I make by not going with a Macbook. But fwiw I'm on Arch, I haven't spent any time on battery optimization config. I'm sure I could get a few extra hours if I played with the confi

Nice machines, but $600 for an extra 16GB of ram and an extra 512GB of storage is theft. My new AMD linux laptop compiles my projects faster than my old M1, and that's good enough for me. It has 32GB of ram, 4tb of storage, and was hal

Just from my own personal experience, porn makes me apathetic, unproductive, and consequentially - miserable. Happy to see more people my age are starting to think that maybe porn is not such a good thing. I've cut it out of my life ab

We'll see. However, that tactic of fear mongering and emotional manipulation only works for so long. You can only tell the American public the world is going to end so many times before they stop believing you.

Posts on HN about tech workers struggling to find jobs and mass layoffs reaches the front page every week. Half my tech friends are laid off right now. That was not the case four years ago. Everyone I knew had a job, everyone had money.

I've worked with Rails, I've worked with Phoenix, I've also built with Rust and Svelte. I'd choose Rust+Svelte every time. Much better experience. Rust's async is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Build

Life being "optimal" does not make it worth living as if we're all cogs in a machine. Liberty makes life worth living, and liberty is very expensive.

What an awful article; full of a-priori conclusions that lead down that blissful road to despair and nihilism. The world needs less of this form of superficial thought. The article claims that narratives can give more meaning, as if meaning

That's exactly the competition that keeps PC from having the hiked prices the likes of Switch/XBox/PS5 stores and having to pay $15/mo to play games with your friends online. I'll happily have to deal with a few ext

Rails usage is certainly dropping off a bit. The competition is improving. I personally got tired of the monkey patching, ActiveRecord's proclivity towards n+1 queries, and complete lack of types / static analysis, among other thi

Can confirm, I love my Linux 2024 g14 to death, and prefer using it over my MacBook. The latest updates in Arch fixed the suspend issues.

I've also found some years ago that - the more I think about myself, the less happy I am. I think it's often true that people who are rich and unhappy are using their money primarily for their own vanity.

I've been spending my entire adult life trying to rediscover this spiritual joy of being a child. I remember it so fondly. My daughter is about to turn 2 and I'm secretly hoping that she can help me find at least a little of it.

I feel like games are in a similar rut for similar reasons. Why record a drummer when you can just quantize it? Why build your own game engine when you can just use unreal?

While well intentioned at first - it would inevitably be weaponized against legitimate journalists from speaking inconvenient and unpopular facts. Better to just teach the public to think critically.

Same experience with the new 2024 Zephyrus G16 and the latest official Win 11 image. Crazy. I had to inject drivers into the boot image using nlite.
