The crispy aliasing of the audio has always felt cozy to me. It’s also a bit of a signature of the system, like the wobbly polygons on PS1. I appreciate that there are ways to change the sound, but it feels a bit rude to label it broken or defective.
Boyscouting works because you don’t need to get permission to fix tech debt when it is bundled with something else. 98% of those tickets you file to fix warts will never be addressed because the business demands that time is spent on features that make money.
Wholeheartedly agree. This issue comes up in job interviews and forces people into faking confidence in spite of not knowing. Honest people be damned if they give the impression of anything less than absolute confidence.
Just an anecdote, but the Arc A380 on my kids’ Fedora gaming PC has run everything on our Steam library just fine. A mix of older and more recent titles. I’m sure there are games that don’t work well, but it was cheap and it’s been rock solid.
I might be a minority here, but I don't really consider the Android OS a feature I want. As a Remarkable 2 owner, I've come to really appreciate the long battery life and purpose built OS. There are no "app" distractions, and it has become an essential part of my daily work flow for note taking and e-book reading.
I wish Daylight success, but at their price, its not a compelling offer for me.
I had to do a double take regarding the single click "issue" because later in the article it is mentioned that scroll bar behavior was changed to accommodate users with RSI.
So what is it KDE? Do you care about RSI or not? I'm no longer a young person anymore, and appreciate any features to prevent RSI. I think its silly to relent on the single click due to "new user pressure".
At least there is still an option for it, I suppose.
Is it so far fetched that there are people, especially in groups, who act in extreme ways? I’m sure they are saying exactly “ We cannot let them have freedom, we must control everything they do”, because it is optimum for them to do so.
I never understood how some people seem to not know that Lenovo and IBM are not the same company. When Lenovo, a completely different company, bought the rights to manufacture IBM products in 2005, the Think* brand was no longer IBM. The author states, eventually, his point being that Lenovo lost it’s mojo, but it never had any. The Thinkpads people remember with mojo were the IBM ones, and some Lenovo branded ones after the handoff, but that’s really just residual “mojo” from the old teams and processes. Lenovo was never good, and really isn’t now, and has a long record of bad behavior.
Download the videos and share with Plex. With the Apple TV app, it is as easy to use as Netflix. There is a lot of great content on YouTube. Honestly it is a shame that it’s not safe to leave it running unsupervised.
Very excited to see more improvements with V8. I am worried however about how good google chrome is and how it completely dominates in some markets. I hope that Firefox can continue to improve (Quamtum is great!) and stay relevant especially since Electron Apps are popular and it’s not certain that some day they won’t include Google telemetry.
Your post is well written to begin with, so it seems that you already can write consice and convey your point well. While I’m not known almost family and friends as being exceptionally articulate, I’ve found bother reading philosophy and poetry combined with practice to be helpful. You must practice for example, in front of a mirror, or write down some creative thought in a personal journal or even a blog. Reading along won’t help.
I don’t like the added burden of importing types in order to use them. So far, I’ve relied on pycharm’s excellent static analysis and docstrings to add type hints. One huge pain point that about C++ are header files and maintaining two source files for related code. Python stub files really reduce flexibility when refactoring or building new code. If you are adding types and maintaining two source files, the rapid development advantage of using python is nearly lost, and the type info is hidden while reviewing code, unless you have both files open. Not great for code review when the editor isn’t able to report type conflicts.
In my local market, the slowing down of the crypto fad is showing. Used GTX 1080 GPUs are no longer hawked at $800 and there are various ASICS generally available. Even new retail cards are coming down in price, but are still way too high for technology that’s been available for a couple years now. Unfortunately, I believe that Nvidia is going to keep the prices high so that they can position the upcoming 11 series at the $700 mark just because they can.
Synergy 2 has so many issues that force me to restart it several times a day. I also need to keep the window open because my Ubuntu machine keeps stealing input priority. It breaks copy paste randomly. But I absolutely need it for quick cross platform testing and there seems to be no other solution besides a KVM switch. I hope this turns the business around.
Totally agree with you about not wanting a bunch of knobs to tweak things. It’s just too much time wasted to deal with when you are just wanting a desktop that works.
I agree with you that employees that you cannot trust should be fired. Skepticism doesn’t necessarily mean lack of trust. It’s possible to trust dishonest people and without a skeptical view to be aware that people may be dishonest, even in small ways, it is easy to fall into that trap of trusting good liars.
Anyone else having problems with the hacker rank page? It keeps rejecting my login id, despite me being properly logged in and using the correct password.
I put together a photo booth using Kivy and use it occasionally at weddings. I was able to get the inital project going in a weekend, but I've been maintaining it for a few years.
I'd use Kivy for another project, and reccomend it. That's not to say it's perfect, but overall it is enjoyable to use.
> Starting flat and changing it later will just lead to more pain and damage to the team cohesion and structure.
I totally agree with this. My company started with just 4 employees, and now that we have over 15. Three years later, we still struggle with defining management roles, because the original employees (including me!) have had many, sometimes overlapping roles dues to the small size. Now, it's difficult to really define roles and responsibilities because we are historically used to working free from any management from others.
