Ah well, Manjaro was a blessing for me, so much that I donated to them as well. It feels like the best of both worlds - I don't have the motivation to install the system from scratch, but I'd like to use AUR. Oh, and as others hav

"oppose to the whole idea of games on Linux" is saying that someone does not want games to run on Linux, they don't like the idea of people playing games on Linux, they'd rather not have people playing games on Linux. &q

I don't mean this as sarcasm, I'm genuinely curious, why would you not use macOS instead (given that it ticks all your boxes)? I used a MacBook for few years and I felt it has all of that (well, brew meh), but I couldn't take

I work for two clients (one of them is a huge German company) as a consultant who are both using GitLab simply because they can host it on their infrastructure. Makes it easier for them to satisfy internal security policies I guess.

Any recommendations for a 101 book for neural nets for someone who is "just a programmer"? OP's tutorial is quite nice, but I love to read books and find it easier to learn from them.

Note that this can quite problematic in scenarios where the caller wants to inspect the error (example: was the error an http timeout? or a server error?). Returning the error and letting the topmost call site handle that is usually better.

Yep Simple Screen Recorder is my daily driver for recording screencasts. Works perfectly, I really like that you can start/pause/save recording from the systray button.

Curious, which ThinkPad was this? I got a T14s with AMD last year and it is one of best laptops I've used till date, and works with Linux out of the box, incl graphics, networking, USB-C docks etc.

Yep exactly! I personally don't find Apple products useful but man I love iTunes just because I can buy DRM-free music. I wish buying movies was this easy.
