I have to replace my aging xps 15 soon, anyone has any experience with those? It looks great on paper, how does screen and touchpad quality compare to an xps / macbook?

When I want to watch a new show I go to a blog or website that aligns with my taste and pick from there. When I need a new shampoo or a set of tires I try to find passionate, obscure, unmonetized content as a starter, then cross reference i

Unrelated to the Linode thing, but in 15 years building and selling SaaS products, I've encountered a number of customers who nitpick prices or try to haggle. I'm not talking about non-profits with micro budgets, rather very profi

Doesn't the article make the whole thing sound like an incredibly painful experience?

Pretending to solve made up problems is better PR than honesty. A more honest take would be "This will grow our and our b2b customers bottom lines, at the expense of the consumer experience. Most consumers won't have a choice if w

Taking human nature into account has driven so much progress in terms of road safety. Cue corporation selling you "Full Self Driving" for 5 figures, allowing your vehicle to become autonomous. Except you have to be alert and behav

To be fair, the pain of migrating time_t is nothing next to what I will feel trying not to type `fgrep` every time.

If I understand correctly, before moving to TS / npm, you would concatenate your library files and your own code, and in your own code reference libraries using some kind of global variable à la `$.` for jquery? If that's the case

As a web-focused software engineer, I can safely say TypeScript is the best thing that happened to my work in the last decade. Aside from the known direct benefits of safety and self-documentation, I've found over time that having a pl

I don't know... everything works so well on linux out of the box nowadays, and over time you can setup everything exactly as you want. As an engineer I feel like it's a great investment and loving my setup has a big impact on the

That's not true. Major patches all have some dialog full of dark pattern suggesting you browse with the most secure, bestest browser. Within the last year I've had multiple family / friends ask me how to get back to their nor

Thank you, sorry my message was misleading, I was talking about the windows start menu. KDE / Gnome / Mate work as expected afaik!

Yeah, for those interested PolyMC works well on linux. It's a bit rough around the edges, but a diamond nonetheless compared to the official launcher. Another anecdote is that minecraft 1.19 doesn't work on Ubuntu 18, as it uses g

You're right, it doesn't matter, they spend so much time and take so many risks (and pay so much in fines) to push their own settings for absolutely no reason.

The win11 / Edge bullshit finally pushed me to migrate my last win machine to linux. I used to love Windows, nowadays it just makes me bitter. Do you know typing "torrent" in the start menu doesn't find "qbittorrent

You aren't penalized, playing safely will maximize your chance of winning and having a higher rating. Maximizing your rating on the other hand will require you to play more and more risky games.

Monetized platforms tend to put a lot of focus on user "engagement" because that's generally where the money's at. Quantity over quality is usually more profitable.

In my experience fresh no-bloat windows installs boot in seconds, which gets slower and slower every major soft or hardware upgrade. Is your boot still fast? Nice username btw.

I have had various XPS 15 and I don't agree. The biggest source of thermal issue comes from discrete graphics (nvidia) in powered state. Disabling it (which I know can be tricky on linux) or opting for a machine with integrated graphic

Aero also has the issue of creating a ton of drag. An f1 at 300kph will decelerate around 1g if you lift off the throttle.

It even works in prod: send the appropriate signal to a node process, pipe the default debug port through ssh and open your node devtools locally. This has saved me so many hours.

Mental illness surely is a factor, but I don't think it's what pushes people over the edge. Remembering my teenage years, the times I acted badly were because of anger. Extreme frustration towards a society or people who I felt tr

If you handle the data programatically parseFloat will always work as expected. No good solution for native submit though :/
