   Thanks a lot. Does it make sense to have more cores vs faster cores if I only plan on using IDEs and doing general development? No video editing or doubling my machine as an application server to serve my personal website. The DIMM vs ECC p

   Thanks a lot. This was a very detailed experience you provided. Also, is there something I might miss from a workstation focused motherboard compared to a workstation one? Like dedicated audio cards, SLI etc. I do plan to research before sp

   Thanks for the info. I have yet to get into a job (will be starting this summer) so I didn't know much about this stuff but am excited.

   Well, in the office space they do make better products and support than all of their competitors.

   One of my uncle's companies moved to Teams recently from Zoom (and Hangouts before that) and I once heard quite a lot of praise from him. Can it be used for personal use? Like in peer to peer?

   I think the important point is that competency doesn't come from religion. It comes from past actions and current environment one is exposed to.

   I agree. The best printf debugging I've seen is Mike Conley from Firefox Live Hacking. He has quite a few debugging tricks up his sleeve. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTDXvmarLFnox4AO0w2NuiQ

    Could you tell me what I gain from workstations compared to standard dev boxes? - Does the number of cores affect general performance or only helps in multitasking and data science? - Is ECC memory worth it (in practice, not in theory)?

    I don't think the gains are manifested as speed. They come as better ergonomics. Try this tool [1] to see how different layouts compare. [1]: http://patorjk.com/keyboard-layout-analyzer/#/main

    Could you give an example about the vim part? I didn't understand what you are trying to say.

    Calling this a backdoor is an extreme measure. I wasn't able to see any working example, nor any responsible disclosure which seems bad. Also, if somebody has the ability to run arbitrary code on your machine, I would think that it&#x2

    This reminds me of a talk by Steve Yegge (an episode of the original old StackOverflow Podcast) where he says that the reverse is true a lot of the time. If you announce something and people find it lacklustre, they won't even care whe

    Exactly. The only thing needed to configure when starting out is disabling of arrow keys and low keyboard repeat rate so that you don't do wrong things like holding down keys (arrow keys, delete, backspace etc.). Holding down keys is a

    I will try to answer your questions as I have seen both sides of the fence. I initially used Visual Studio (around 2012) and really loved the power it gave me. I never felt slow or inefficient until I saw a screencast about Apache config th

    I really am thankful that you do write long commit messages. As a student starting out in OSS, I have had to track down why the particular piece of code is written like it and I go hunting down git blame and that really helps me. I also fol

    You make some really valid points. I'm sorry I overlooked the part about past drivers because I haven't had the misfortune of experiencing them (from what you say I feel lucky for that). I don't have an AMD card handy but cou

    As far as I know the only major things not working right now are databases (sockets are not implemented) and network device enumeration (although I don't know if any program uses it). Although your bash can access databases running on

    Well, the argument that Windows sucks for development environment is true only if you use programs like rbenv, nvm or other stuff that is built on GitHub. Even then most of them work on Windows. I've moved from Linux to Windows (batter

    Well, I use the mainline since I would like to start contributing sometime later. Also, I have a custom bootloader set up that managed to integrate nicely with Secure Boot, VMWare modules have to be recompiled with almost every kernel updat

    I agree with you. We really are a hypocritical bunch. This move may have essentially alienated any new hardware maker from making open source drivers. They too may go the closed source, taped together with a HAL way and that's not good

    This. Exactly this. The treatment AMD got from LKML was slightly deserved but doing that they alienated a hardware partner and indirectly set the precedent for doing closed source binary releases that use HAL anyway. It sucks for the consum

    That's exactly what I'm trying to say. If I use the publicly available devkit I expect that they have no claim. If I use an internal prototype they have claim. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough before.

    I used to think like you too. But spending around 3 to 4 hours a month (that's being very modest) trying to fix video tearing, hibernation issues, wifi issues etc. after every kernel release is a pain that I won't endure for long.

    I feel like the LKML is the most hypocritical place I've ever seen. One one hand, we want that more people GNU/Linux which depends on the quality and performance and number of application programs that work on Linux, while on the

    The best thing I love about Windows development after coming from playing with Java and Android is the power and flexibility and saneness (is that a thing?) of XAML and WPF. And even the C# language is very much compared to Java.
