The end user experience is way better on Windows than Linux. And I say that as someone who uses Linux (Ubuntu Gnome) daily. You really have to appreciate the freedom of choice that FOSS brings you to appreciate Linux. If you don't care

That would be easy, but if you have an app with localization then it's not useful. And also it's impossible to make the formatting consistent with other formatting in your app.

I'm not familiar with this type of construction. Where I live any wiring is run through pipes.

I'm not sure what you mean, good quality CAT5e cables should easily give you 10Gbit/s under 30m. If it works, why replace it?

Then please find me a 2.5G 8-port switch with PoE for $100?

by mmcnl 3y ago
Correction: you can usually run 10Gbit/s over CAT5e if the cables are not too long, so you probably won't need to replace your cables. But the hardware is indeed expensive.

That's exactly how >1Gbit/s connections get sold. Hardware with multiple high-speed ports is very expensive, so typically you have 1 2.5G/10G port LAN port and all the other ports are 1G. So they say you can have multiple

MoCA is great but the downside is that requires two active components. And leveraging PoE becomes impossible. Also, why not replace the coax cable with UTP? Tape some fish tape to your coax cable, and gently pull the coax cable on the other

The default date picker is laughable. For example there is no way to control the format in which the date is displayed.

8GB is way too little for office workers. Outlook, MS Teams and the Office 365 integrations consume a lot of memory. Especially if you are collaborating in big presentations with a few people. My previous Dell 16GB office laptop frequently

Ofcourse it's a business decision but it's one a lot of people disagree with. How can you keep repeating 99.9% of the customers don't care when it's one of the most repeated complaints on places like this over and over a

It's not a computer for people who don't use external monitors because it's not supported. Connecting more than 1 display is not a "pro" task, it's pretty normal especially for professional purposes. Also, the

macOS doesn't support daisy chaining, and never has. You can't use daisy chaining with any Mac. It's weird, it's stupid, but it's true. That's the sole reason the dock market is so complicated.

A DisplayLink is not a real dock. It's basically compressing the display output using the CPU and decompressing it using an external GPU in a box to output it to more displays. The performance is terrible, you get weird artifacts, ther

The basic office setup in most companies is two screens with a dock (lid closed). That's a super common way of working. RAM and fan has nothing to do with it, the cheapest low-end Windows laptops can do this with ease, it doesn't

There are nice technical solutions. Media queries + flex + grid (when you need it) give you all the tools you need. There's just a lot of ways to do it wrong.

Frontend is complex. That's also why some people think the tech stack is "overly complicated". Deploying rich interactive user interfaces with the push of a button to the entire world is a marvel, why would people expect that

It totally depends on how you communicate the uncertainty.

by mmcnl 3y ago
That's a bad analogy. Managing expectations is very rarely absolute or binary thing.

Honestly, I think you are an unwilling prime example of a disconnected developer. Why don't you instead try to found common ground and work from there? Who says "business people" aren't capable of dealing with uncertaint

I agree 100%. Too many software developers feel entitled and think they do all the hard work and everyone else should just try to understand their domain or get lost. This attitude will get you nowhere.
324.
by mmcnl 3y ago
That's why developers should be the ones taking a step forward to make vague requirements "complete" and "precise". They will satisfy the business goals and there won't be fairy tales.

by mmcnl 3y ago
And devs are in the perfect position to take on this responsibility. They usually have sufficient domain knowledge and know what it takes to build stuff in this context.

I'm running InfluxDB 1 and 2 in parallel for a personal project, waiting for v2 to get mature and stable enough to replace v1. It's never happening I guess. v1 still works great for me.

That's a better solution than changing the Git(Hub) model. If this works for you, then why the need to change anything?

by mmcnl 3y ago
I completely agree.

by mmcnl 3y ago
I don't think this is actually an improvement. It's more complicated and most people don't need this. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
