Can we stop this nonsense? It would be a big problem if it were true, but it isn't. It's the later (contamination weight gain) and we have fairly good understanding of what's going on. For example, see https://phys.org/news/2013-01-kilogram-weight.html

Do they provide LBGT sex education as well? Seems like a burden the church should take on given what the leaders of this community have done.

I have a hard time taking men who have engaged in sexual child abuse as valid leaders of pro life or pro choice movement. I don't think they should have a say in anything sex related at all.

They are the last group of people on the planet right now who should be taking a moral stand on sexual rights.

MacBook Pro 2015. I've used ArchLinux on this with no issues. Used a 2013 MacBook Air before that, same OS (I actually used `ssh | dd` to just copy the image, rather than reinstall anything).

The MBA needed non-kernel driver (which was a breeze to install anyway). The MBP uses an in-kernel one, so no issue there.

It doesn't get more MacBook-like than that. :P

Is that the little brother of the XPS 15 ? Cause I have an XPS 15, and it's been a (expensive) disappointment for the last year.
I apologize for the delayed response:
The chromebook confuses my mother because she doesn't really understand how google drive works. She needs to download documents and then send people document links if they want to edit stuff, and that really confuses her because its not what she's used to. My mother is generally pretty tech savvy, but the switch from the microsoft suite to google drive has been confusing for her.

There are certain websites she goes to for school that don't work in google chrome - only firefox. She doesn't have the option to switch to firefox, so this creates other issues for her.

sometimes she needs to make powerpoint presentations and move them to another computer to present. She therefore, needs to send a PDF version. This creates more confusion.

Though there are many benefits to the chromebook (all of your files are online so they can be accessed from anywhere; long battery life; its super light), there are still some user issues for older/less-tech-savvy users.

Running Debian on a Thinkpad X1 Carbon (5th gen). Everything except fingerprint reader works smoothly out of the box, couldn't be happier with it.

Gamer laptops tend to be very overpowered video-wise, and have much poorer battery durations. Either that, or they're very big and clunky.
This is nowhere near MacBook-like build quality...
A dev contributes to open-source, also personally expresses (in an entirely different context) views about Trans that she dislikes. Demands the dev be forcibly removed from the project, invites others into thread to say how terrible it is one of the developers has the wrong political views. Suggests (prescribes) this will put people off contributing, but while borderline threatening to spread the news of said dev's views in order to make sure this happens.

She doesn't care about said project, but to promote the idea of political cleansing in open source.

Meh's comments, while to course, are correct in the sentiment that she isn't really contributing anything, but is instead attacking. HOWEVER, he should of said "because you won't" rather than "can't", since that's just an unjustified attack on her competence as a dev.

> Which is why I'm very disappointed that distributions are not pushing reproducible builds as a top priority. If nothing else, this might make me switch to NixOS soon.

Yes, it's unfortunately a step in the wrong direction, which is alarming considering the scale at which Docker is used.

I haven't used Nix, but I use Guix, and GuixSD is its distribution. Like Nix, it's a functional package manager, so not only do you get package signing, but you also get a fully verifiable and reproducible (barring certain packages that aren't yet reproducible) state of the entire system.

It's not that containers and Docker can't succeed in solving some of these problems. Guix can create docker images, for example. Better yet, it can run things in isolation in containers, even ad-hoc, without the need for Docker.

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/news/running-system-servic...

You can even run your browser in a container and share the X11 session:

https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/CONTAINERS....

(And in that regard, we also have Qubes OS, but that doesn't have the benefit of a functional package manager, unless you use Guix/Nix of course.)
Was it really a mistake in a practical sense? Does Microsoft move their consumer base to the NT kernel via XP a few years later (a massive win for their platform overall) if GDI performance had to take a big hit?
> Translation: Your mentee is complaining about you being a huge asshole.

That seems too harsh a conclusion given the scant evidence provided.

That said, this part stood out to me as potentially troubling:

> mentoring is an essential part of being a senior engineer, and this teammate seemed to be benefiting from it

Learning by way of a mentorship is an essential part of being a junior engineer. That doesn't imply that all senior engineers must mentor junior engineers. And it definitely does not require or even suggest that senior engineers should seek out junior engineers for potential mentorship (nor even make casual offers for informal mentorship for that matter).

Further, the language the author uses in the description is vague as to who requested the mentorship in the first place. It's also vague as to whether the company actually approved or encouraged such a formal mentorship.

I'm very satisfied, the installation was easy, everything is working correctly, apart the fingerprint reader but biometric is a joke so no big loss.

I have a vague memory that there was a reason for not doing this - something about using more memory or hitting a ceiling of some sort. The major problem of course was not having anyone to tell you that this was a bad idea.

I still remember trying to work out how to program in machine code by poking different values into memory. I had my own guide on what values to avoid and what values worked without having the slightest idea what I was doing.
The low-res and low amount of RAM make it a completely different league compared to an MBP. Not sure which chromebook you have, buy they also tend to have quite smaller SSDs.

Generally, chromebooks are modern netbooks (not saying that's a bad thing, just different), and not really comparable to an MBP.

Why interpret one charitably and not the other? I survived being called "honey" by a woman in management; I didn't take offense because it would never occur to me to spin a well-intentioned comment for victim points. I fully realize that cute nicknames can be used in condescending tones, but then the issue is being condescending, not the nickname. I also realize that the genders are reversed, and that's supposed to make the nickname more offensive or invalidate my opinion or something; just to head this one off early--it doesn't.

For build quality I like my Razer Blade (late 2016 build), but support is not perfect out of the box. I'm running Linux Mint 18.1. The WiFi was not supported by the live disc, but works after install. Switching between the NVidia and Intel graphics has been a problem that I haven't yet resolved.

The pros are a quad core i7, NVidia 1060, a better keyboard than MBP (my opinion), 16gb RAM, option of 4K glossy or 1080p flat panel. I chose the 1080p so I don't have glare.
For those of you with 13" screens.. wtf??!?!?!
You do not need emoji.

You need to communicate. Clear, concise, eloquent, and precise use of english* allows this to occur. The reason that this breaks down is because too often people resort/revert to using slang or not thinking before they write.

You end up with text equivalent of 'verbal diarrhea'.

I do not know what 99% of those "pacman" faces are supposed to mean. Maybe it's because I'm on the Autistic scale and I have trouble reading expressions, maybe it's because I'm an 'old fart' and these kids need to get off my lawn.

I understand that emoji are just a simple evolution from emoticons. I do not understand why we needed to expand on:

=) or =(

TFA posits that emoji are "body language" for internet communication. If people just wrote what they fucking meant this wouldn't be an issue. (Look at the constant misunderstandings that arise from sarcasm or lack thereof, for an excellent representation of poor writing.)

*Disclaimer about my own ignorance: I don't know if non-english speakers suffer the same follies as english. English is a sloppy, imprecise language. It takes effort to clearly convey a message that cannot be misconstrued.
That's "the false premise of meritocracy", not "meritocracy"; It's an important distinction that should be made. There is nothing wrong with democracy, even if some people don't like the word anymore due to it's widespread misuse.

Perhaps you can see why being told by you (presumably a man) that they shouldn't do the thing that they want to do because you know what's best for them might not go down well? Be my guest :)

You'll find that people make choices for reasons other than industry statistics. Many people feel more comfortable at those events because mainstream events can have conduct issues and bias issues.

Of course exclusive events are far from an ideal, but labelling them as "worthless" misunderstands why people do them.

> ... I'm pretty sure that such reverse-hacking is legally not much different than serving up malware, especially since black-hat crawlers are more likely than not running on compromised devices.

Sure. But gzip bombs don't do substantial (if any) permanent damage. At most, they'd crash the system. And indeed, that might attract the attention of owners, who might then discover that their devices had been compromised.
>The Netherlands will ban it 15 years before France.

Will is far, far too strong a word. This was a Labour (PvdA) initiative, and after the recent election PvdA is in shambles. They likely will not be a part of the (yet non-existing) coalition government. The main party to the coalition government (VVD) is opposed.

So we can fairly surely guess that this ain't happening.
It's silly to even look at 1080p for high-end gaming, beyond having some "rule-of-thumb" number to compare performance historically.

I remember I used to advice people to spend half on monitor, half on the pc system (and out of that, maybe close to half on the gpu). That used to mean a ~1000 USD monitor(s), and a ~500 USD GPU - for a total system price of ~2000 USD.

Today, most people would probably aim for a lower total cost, but it's still silly to sink a lot of cash into getting a great system, only to have a crappy monitor ruin the experience.

(Another caveat, I'd guess a high-end monitor should be able to survive/remain usable for closer to a decade than to 3-5 years -- which would be more typical for a pc. Of course, part of the reason for getting a pc system would be the possibility of ~incremental upgrades)
That's a great guide, thanks! When I went through the process a few years ago, it would have been really nice to have. Plus GalliumOS wasn't around then.

The easy way to go about this is start a software development or consulting firm and sell services rather than attempting to move a whole team.

Dell 5520 (http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/555/campaigns/xps-linux-lapt...). I bought one for work earlier this year and liked it so much I bought a second for home. Dual Xeons, 32GB ram, 4k display, great battery life, and a body design which feels decidedly mac-like, yet different. In fact, I actually prefer the tactile feel of the 5520.

The only real problems I have is the touchpad (currently tweaking synclient to get it just right) interfering while typing occasionally, and the completely crappy experience with the Thunderbolt docking station (it rarely goes perfectly when docking/undocking, but even if it does, sometimes the displays refuse to wake up while docked).

All that said, I really dig it. I've had two macbooks in the past, and can honestly say this machine is a FAR better experience and much more cost effective.
Seconding this. I paid closer to $700 for my Thinkpad X230 in 2011 and it's still going strong with Arch Linux. Not much of a gaming laptop, but it's been very solid fox nearly six years now.
I have one too. My only complaint is the track pad is way too sensitive. I am constantly nudging it with my palm.

From the TechCrunch article: "There’s also a snake oil stigma attached to the industry, often overlooked by the FDA. The various pills, oils (and coffees) out on the market can get expensive, and a lot of the claims out there need regular Snopes checks to protect consumers from getting suckered."

(...Don't polarize on one end of the Specialist vs Generalist debate.)

Since improvement of experience and quality of output is roughly logarithmic, it is (depending on the specialisation of the task at hand) better to have a person that has worked ten years to be 7/10 in 5 displines than 10/10 in one and 2/10 in the remaining 4.

Of course, if you only care about the one discipline, get the 10/10 guy. But in real use cases, things are only occasionally atomic, and lack of understanding of adjacent processes and disciplines can prove fatal.
