I run Arch on a XPS 15, it was relatively painless and I have no major complaints, I am very cautious about upgrading the kernel and only do so periodically. I would 100% consider switching to something else if they manage to solve packages

FWIW, I have a 2015 Dell XPS 15 that had the battery start to swell(making the trackpad unusable), I did not get next day service but was able to schedule an appointment where the tech came and fixed it, no charge. All in all I don't r

I will never understand the desire to radically change an interface on any product <10 years old. Especially Snap's, as I don't remember anyone complaining about the interface. Instead, why not make your app use less battery po

There is an effective maximum density for freebase nicotine(most common, and lowest density type of vape juice), but there is a separate type called nicotine salts that are vastly more concentrated, in the ~50-60 mg/mL range. Nicotine

While we all appreciate your strawman, I would encourage you to actually think about situations where the law actually does implement punishments that are beyond what would be considered proportionate, and when it does the opposite.

This seems to be almost completely irrelevant to what is being discussed here - you yourself admit the point you are raising has no particular impact on the morality of there actions. Also, it is not accurate to say that politics in the US

Isn't this misinterpreting the results of that experiment? The Geiger-Marsden experiments established that most of the mass in an atom is concentrated within the nucleus, where all positive charge is located. It does not try to est

This begs the question, will we ever value certain pieces of technology in the same way we value a house, or a car, as a longer term investment that you pay quality for, so you don't have to go back and buy again? People balk at paying

I can't really see an argument to be had that it's not Google's property if it was worked while on the clock. Considering how protective most companies are of IP, I'm shocked Google even has a mechanism by which a person

I won't lie, when I first started using Spacemacs it kinda blew my mind there were no tabs; I don't really mind it now that I've installed unimpaired and can cycle through buffers with ]b and [b.

Would you happen to have a link to the podcast episode? EDIT: A good article on the podcast can be found here[1]. The podcast itself can be found here[2]. Because I just listened to this song for the first time in a while, here is my favori

>For example, I do not see Bezos building anything I would compare to cathedrals No, I'd say the majority of the things the wealthy build now are less self-aggrandizing and more useful.

Are there any good introductory pieces on quantum computing? I feel like I've heard so much about the subject, yet have not found a good paper to read that outlines the essential concepts/topics involved with it.

Obviously this is a lazier approach than others that could be taken, but I do think that it's completely fair that a state run news agency would be given less inherent credibility on a wide range of topics(read: any that might effect t

You mean Google, a company that was founded in the late 90s, is responsible for an FTC rule originating 42 years ago? Your entire premise is incredibly flawed; religious rights and low taxes may be part of the same constituency, but opposit

The TSA was an Obama issue when Obama was President. The TSA was a Bush issue when Bush was President. The TSA is a Trump issue because Trump is President. The idea that we can't criticize someone because of X, Y, and Z is ridiculous.

Yet the job of the government isn't to sell the land for cheap; it's for public enjoyment or economic investment that benefits the public, such as roads, railroads, the power grid, etc. It should not be sold so a wealthy few can g

I've worked as both a server and a delivery driver, and even after having left both jobs I'd still be in favor of tipping because I think it incentivizes the worker to do well at their job. The US simply doesn't have the same

What's the alternative here? The intent of the bill isn't to force development where there shouldn't be any. It's to encourage it where it's needed most, but hasn't happened yet due to NIMBYism etc.
