I agree with the author's general assessment, but I have issues with the... pedagogy of this post. 1. The tone of the article implies the author is taking sides. Specifically, they root for the poor developers, against the evil standar

I 100% hope Wayland's story mirrors PipeWire's... When PipeWire became installed by default on my distro, it was flawless. If, when Wayland becomes default, it is as faultless as PipeWire is right now, it will join the pantheon of

Were you able to disable suspend-on-lid-close? If that works for you, please let me know.

Yes some of the suspend/audio issues are indicated as distro-dependent. But have you tried to disable suspend-on-lid-close? If that works for you as well, please let me know.

For context, battery life has cratered on some Thinkpad models (e.g. X1 Nano) with the latest Intel CPUs. This is partially Lenovo's fault for choosing higher-power lower-efficiency CPUs (and of course partially just Intel CPUs being m

Looks like a fantastic Linux laptop. A few minor remarks: 1. There seem to be minor issues around suspend (e.g., audio issues on resume, cannot yet disable suspend-on-lid-close [1]) 2. As noted in the article, this is not a "classic&q

I would need further digging to be sure, but my guess would be this: First, Free Pascal being an older language, it should have a relatively lightweight startup, by which I mean closer to C than Go (garbage collection) or C++ (exceptions? s

A very surface change (almost syntactic sugar) that would be neat for me is some form of generics. Specifically, to allow me to implement an algorithm once for different data types. Right now I do it with preprocessor macros and includes; i

I understand the frustration, but unfortunately it seems that your business was drop shipping [1,2], which is in Stripe's "restricted" business list [3], meaning: "You must not use Stripe’s services for the following act

There are lots of dirty tricks to determine the user's preferred language, which work for 95% of the population, and unfortunately are sometimes very frustrating for the rest. For example, some browsers default to en-US, so as a respon

To the author: what is the algorithmic approach to determine a schedule? Once you add a couple of constraints or complications (e.g. can't be on-call two nights in a row, or on-call weekends count 1.5x because they are more "painf

Both you and GP are right, depending on the laptop manufacturer. Like you, I personally nuke Windows immediately and run fwupd from Linux... but then... I'm lucky I get to choose my own laptops. And I only buy those whose manufacturers

It's a legitimate question but in this case my personal conclusion is that GP is right, convenient MIPI camera support is not coming for another 2-3 years. The problem is that this generation of Intel platforms have migrated to a compl

It depends on the types of constraints you have, the precision you want, and the sparsity of the system. For example, for linear equality constraints, one general approach is iterative refinement [1]. If you are using floats/doubles an
