I moved from Ubuntu to Debian because of snaps. I keep apt and the majority of my knowledge of how to run the system, but no snap.

I took out an Economist subscription for the first time this year, and I've found it really mixed. Lots of interesting articles, but I'll agree the analysis isn't as good as many other sources I've seen (in my view). Wha

Nothing. Because UML was pointless to begin with. As a medium to describe systems it was harder to understand that just a flowchart, and less specific than just reading the code code. A useless halfway house.

'Workstation-class' computers absolutely can have 128 GB of memory, or even more. Even Apple does this (not just on the Mac Pro, you can configure the Mac Studio for it too). On the PC side all AMD Threadrippers can support at lea

Oh. From the title I was hoping this was a serious AI model that tried to design a building. It's just someone plugging "futuristic towers" into an AI image generator, which predictably produces images that look like common s

Exactly the same. I read it as 10GBASE-T and my eyebrows hit my ceiling.

This is unfortunately the kind of cultural aversion to "night owl" sleep patterns that I'm talking about. People were sleeping at different times of day even in the absence of electric artifical light. [0] https://

I don't dissagree. I think it's fine to accept changing chronotypes as you age.

I'm happy for the author if this works for them, but I fear this feeds into the ongoing narrative that being a night owl is somehow a negative (or "lazy"). Everyone has a natural sleep schedule, or chronotype. Instead of forc

Doesn't work on ARM, or doesn't work on Mac? Basically everything I've tried has worked on my Apple Silicon Mac, including x86_64 Docker containers using Docker Desktop. I'm sure there are applications that don't wo

I recently got a MacBook Pro with an M1 Max. So a little bit more powerful than what you're looking at. Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I know a souped-up M2 (Likely a "M2 Max") is likely this year, but the difference

I cannot agree. The post makes it clear that the author was hired as a senior engineer ("…He expected more from a senior engineer…"). Senior engineers are expected to present the needs of the team beyond immediate work items, and

Every JWT auth system I've ever seen uses expiries on the order of minutes, and using a single-use refresh token to allow the client application to invisibly request an updated token.

On a Mac, factory reset it unless I got it direct from Apple (ideally picked up by hand from an Apple Store). On any other laptop, full erase and install Linux or Windows from scratch.

As others have said Atlassian don't care about you, the user. Their products are piles of features that perform well in feature comparisons, with the minimum amount of effort to UX. "Atlassian Tools" is on my list of automati

I guess that's the point of the highly accurate onboard clock. Even if you don't have GPS reception for some period of the day, as long as it does connect at least once every two days you'll still get accurate timekeeping.

This seems like a bit of a footgun from Docker Inc. Those on Linux will just run Docker Engine (the open source part) directly, or move to alternatives like Podman. Docker Desktop only really has value on macOS and Windows, and there it&#x2

Using Go in anger for a few years has made me realise just how much a good package management solution adds to an ecosystem, and just how difficult a bad one makes life.

Are there any open hardware printer projects? You could (almost) guarantee no tracking dots, although of course a totally custom printer might produce output that is unique enough to be unintentionally identifying. As a side effect it might

The takeaway for me is that the team's skill set is often the biggest factor in selecting a language. Everyone knows Java? Just use Java. But if everyone on the team knows Typescript you can bet I'd be saying "Why don't

First I would talk to your manager about their expectations. They might not have a clear idea either, but you should see what they say. As general advice — as a principal engineer, similar to a staff engineer[0], your role is really to look

Have nvidia lost their minds? It's going to take days for mining operations to reverse-engineer the driver and undo this. So commercial operations won't be affected at all. Worse, their detection isn't going to be 100% perfec

Western culture has a very unhealthy attitude towards sleep in general. There is only one socially accepted sleep pattern: Eight hours a night, in one block, starting at between 10pm and 11pm and ending between 6am and 7am. This "early

Why are we presenting bigger, badder VPNs as the solution? With core services to employees (e.g., email, calendar, office tools, filesharing, chat, collaboration, etc.) either serviced as a SaaS solution (e.g., GSuite, Office365, Slack, etc

Go has a bigger tooling problem. Build systems are hard, and Go has decided it doesn't want to be hard so it's ignored anything other than the "happy path". I wish other Go dependency tools still existed.

What is it with Go's love of code generation? Everything from protocol implementations to database connections seems to generate a large wad of Go code. Is it just to workaround the lack of Generics?
