It's a Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 155H. And as far as power is concerned, spending some time fiddling with tlp will get you a good chunk of the way there. Playing around with different DEs will give different results. Sway is my pre

The latest Lenovo P14s I have running Arch/sway has a crazy long battery life as well. It idles at 3.4W with wifi on. Writing code with an editor and all the fancy LSPS/plugins pushes me to 4W. I can get more than a full days wor

I used to travel across the US a lot. On my laptop I started keeping websites, documentation, base container images, source code for Linux, tools I used, and languages I was programming in for references the languages I was using. This wa

Is it possible to run distributed tasks in a local cluster? Or is a unison cloud account required? I see that 'distributed' was moved to the cloud library and I don't see any way to run this in an on-prem data center without

I said for years that we should just use UTC everywhere and that people should wake up at offsets. One day my wife told me she was tired of hearing it and it was a stupid idea. That she could walk into nearly any town anywhere and know th

I always tell my friends and colleagues new to remote work that remote, async collaboration is a skill to be learned. You have to take a thought and distill it down to a diagram or written word before you share it. Personally, If I can&#x2

Oh, I don't know, I hardly consider myself super disciplined. It's just a matter of memorizing a command or two. git commit --fixup=commit HASH git rebase -i HASH^ #yes, include ^ # save and close the rebase window

I took a fair amount of advanced math and I find it useful regularly. Despite that, I agree with your sentiment that most people honestly don't need much of it. But, I don't think that's what everyone is talking about with po

Here in Alaska some fisheries and permits have historical length restrictions on vessels. In order to carry the gear, ice, and catch they wanted they would cut boats in half longitudinally and widen them.

I don't find it particularly weird or obscure either. I've had to speak over the FFI a handful of times and it was honestly a better experience than go's story (which also wasn't terrible IMO). But I also recognize tha

Heh, I don't think I've ever seen a hn post about where I live. Anyone can tell you that fishing, processing, and the markets are a very complex problem and it would be true. But I would just like to highlight this little excerp

I can't speak to anxiety or other disorders but I have a hard time swallowing that leetcode discriminates against the older crowd. I'm not older, but I was in the industry prior to the leetcode style interview. I've never sa

Agreed. My family lives on an island, though not in HI. We've had to do the medivac on one occasion. Yeah it was a bit unnerving and a major pain in the ass but we're still here a few years later. I'd much rather optimize

And to your point, some of us want children and will move forward with that regardless of economics or stability. I don't think the markets influence child rearing as much as the headlines say.
