Dells strategy for this wasn't to ship new drivers, as much as it was to just use components that already have drivers. I imagine Lenovo would do the same, but I don't know. It does make distro hopping painless on my precision (I&

I always like to note that in Ubuntu upgrades to the next LTS are not offered until after it has gone through the first point release[1] (e.g., if you run 18.04LTS, you won't be told about 20.04 until 20.04.1 is out). [1] https:/

These two ars technica articles are a really good breakdown on both sides of the issue, but I agree with the first. Use keybase. It's easier! [1] https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/12/op

Google drive doesn't do versioning (at least, not for the 180 day period I want), which is why I rejected it as a backend. Regardless, I haven't had S3 perf be a problem yet for me.

I love rclone but a warning: it's real chatty with default settings with S3 -- I have a backup script that was on its way to a $60/month S3 bill that was 99% driven by number of requests not storage space or egress.

I used this to research and write what was essentially my thesis graduation requirement from law school in 2012. Good tool, I'm happy more people are finding out about it. It's up there with calibre in terms of "meh" UI

I'm curious what your source is? I haven't found anything with more details than the linked article.

I agree, it's not clear if the couple consumed the unformulated active pharmaceutical ingredient. But the fish tank part would be true either way (I don't know!), and was likely included to scare people from doing stupid shit like

The XPS line is great for this if you have the $$$ and are OK with an Intel chip. I wish they shipped AMD.

I'm not OP, but I the inference I draw from the comment is that with Yarn declining in quality the probability is higher than NPM will once again become the de-facto standard, thus, it is ideal that any company responsible for its stew

The maintainer released Yarn 2. Yarn 2 is pretty foundationaly different than Yarn 1, and can and does break a lot of products/projects if used. Some folks are not happy about it, although Yarn 1 will probably continue to be maintain

> most money is spent on housing and health care In Canada? Would not an increase in demand for such things lead to a corresponding increase in supply? Or is there something I don't know about supply restrictions in Canada?

You're correct it's unremarkable a company would want to limit it's production of documents in accordance with their rights to do so under federal and state rules. It's super, and I mean super, fucked up that you turn ar

The ocaml compiler does constant folding too, and I consistently look at the (usually javascript because of Bucklescript) output in amazement when it finds shit like that. Unrolling all my tail recursion is great too.

Also moving from law to programming, I changed the effect of randomness on my success. In law, I could kick ass, and still lose a case, because of many things that are likely to be depressing to list in public. In programming, if I kick ass

Sure. I quit a job that put me in the top 5% of salaries to do something I loved that gave me more time outside work, because I realized the woman I share my life with was my "ten heads in a row" and not the job that depressed me.

We can all use excellent reminders like this about how random outcomes can be distributed really unevenly. For example, attributing even some success to randomness (a reasonable assumption, I would think) at least N fraction of successful

Not OP but former litigator turned programmer here. This gets very complicated because saying "legal work" is a giant generalization for a broad field. But talking about this with my peers (still a slice of the market) we arrive
