The XPS 15 doesn't have a linux "developer edition", but it still plays quite well with Linux (even if it's less "plug and play" than the 13 model).
It comes with Nvidia Optimus and that is still not supported on Linux (thanks to Nvidia) so you may want to either turn off the dGPU or use bumblebee. The HDMI port is wired to the Intel GPU so it should just work.
In the future, just to be sure, I advise you to check the Archwiki: the most popular laptops have a page there, reporting all the working and non working stuff and eventually some work-arounds

What can we do to help you?
My only thought is "scale only through federation". It's impossible to moderate the content of a billion users. It's pretty easy to moderate the content of 1000 users. And if you're moderating the content of 1000 users who mostly come from an actual community (physical or subcultural) that shares the same values, you don't have to have your moderation rules enforced worldwide to the lowest common factor of different value systems, or by outsourced wage slaves from a different culture without any context.

Source: I'm a moderator on a Mastodon instance with about 1000 users (connected to the larger Fediverse of about 2 million users). We've got 5 moderators, and we respond to reports (either by or about our users) promptly and well. We don't have to police the behavior of the whole Fediverse (just our users), and we don't have to protect the whole Fediverse (just our users).
AFAIK that is how it actually works
Honestly, I'm shocked by all the comments here from people without smartphones or only flip-phones, in what's supposed to be a community of technophiles.

Personally, I'd be lost without my phone. I don't understand the "addiction" bit at all, it's just a tool to me that is extremely useful, mainly because of a handful of apps. The phone part (for talking) really isn't that important, because I don't talk that much on it. Here's what I use my phone most for:

1) navigation. Seriously, why the heck would I want to go back to the inefficiency and danger of paper maps when I have a navigator telling me when to turn and keeping me on track as I concentrate on paying attention to other drivers?

2) calendar. My calendar is online so it's easy to keep myself organized with it, and my phone gives me reminders.

3) texting. So many people text now that to communicate with them you have to text too. The nice thing about texting is that you don't have to interrupt what you're doing right that second to respond. Also, there's more to texting than SMS: there's many apps like Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, LINE, etc. which can offer more reliable and better user interfaces (such as read receipts).

4) calculator. I don't have to carry around an old HP RPN calculator, because my phone has an app that does the same thing.

5) notes. Instead of taking notes on easily-lost pieces of paper, I have an app for writing random bits of information down.

6) socializing. Meetup.com and various dating apps are quite helpful in finding events and meeting new people. How else is a single person supposed to meet dating partners anyway? (No, I don't drink, so don't tell me to go to a bar.)

Web browsing is actually not something I do that much on my phone, because the screen is small and the UI for it sucks, so I generally save that for my PC. It's nice to have the capability now and then, for instance if I want to look something up on Wikipedia really quick when I'm out, but it's not something I spend a lot of time on.
And here I am using a HP elitebook 8440w from 2010-2011 as my main computer here .__.
Though laggy sometimes, I use it daily with an avd + vscode without many issues.
You can pick what videos you play. If it looks like its going to be a gore clip dont continue to play it. You dont need to find out if the example above, with the guys with machetes, ends badly.

> Certainly a few seconds of a murder is going to be less than desirable.

While not desirable, outsourcing your second every few days to some poor guy who has to watch it all day long doesnt sound like a good solution to me.
"Is it still OK _for the planet_ to have kids..."

That's a strange question. The planet doesn't have feelings, so it doesn't really care whether or not we have kids.

Other living organisms on the planet may care. But the rock we're on surely doesn't.
I think most people prefer not to think too much about this underworld. Like when somebody throws themselves in front of a train one of the first things the police does is put up barriers.

And how do you even talk with your loved ones about this kind of work?
That’s interesting. The friends I talked to did mention this, but it sounded more like you could knock the bill down a bit, perhaps in the 10-25% range (10% being a lot more likely). The er physician I spoke with seemed skeptical
That you could negotiate it down anything like and hmo with massive negotiating power could, but that is just one conversation, and ER docs may actually not be the most knowledgeable people about this. A hospital admin or financial person would probably be a better source.

The officer requested use of a “digital analyzer” to locate the new burner phones at “any time of the day or night … without geographical limitation in the State of Illinois.” The request was approved.

I recall similar things happened in New York

Perhaps 'a very large use case' was too strong a phrasing though.
Last time I tried to switch to Azlo, we ran into the limitation that each account can only have one user. So, only one person can log in. Only one person can have a debit card. This was a deal-breaker for us.

Has this been addressed yet?
Yup, I have an X61s running Xubuntu 18.04 quite nicely. 2Gb and a cheap 64Gb SSD.
There's so much less cruft and overhead with lit-html, and you get speed that's akin to vanilla JavaScript. As for JSX, I think we can all get used to something non-standard, which after enough time feels normal, but the benefits of a lit-html are so immediately apparent. The transition is super easy.
There are a few gotchas with actors:

* they really do need M:N threading (M green threads for the actors, N system threads where N ~= #CPUs),

* message queues have some complexities; it's not hard to get into a situation where messaging costs overwhelm actual work. Also, you need some form of back-pressure to keep a fast producer/slow consumer from killing everything.

Pony is actually a pretty sweet design for all of these. Complicated, though.
Simiarly, I still have a 2009 Macbook Pro laying around that I sometimes use and it's just fine. I mean, it's not fast but it's fine.
One killer feature that recently appeared in notebooks is a Thunderbolt 3 port for eGPUs. They have the potential to lengthen the lifetime of the notebook.

Sustainable? This is how banks primarily made money in the past. And those were banks with brick and mortar branches. If they are making home loans, they would make around 4-5% plus origination fees (that's where the money is at). For other loans like vehicle or commercial, they could make 6-8% or more.

I'm sure there are also overdraft fees and negative account balance fees, wiring fees, etc. These type of fees are how modern banks make their money.
I have met self taught dev ops people who did not understand that you could create more than one user on a aws ubuntu machine.

i honestly cannot believe that this is still a thing! well, actually, i can. :(

i run a large AWS consolidated billing family for a sizeable computer science graduate research lab and tracking our AWS spends are an absolute nightmare.

if you think about it for a minute, why would it be in the best interests of amazon/AWS to allow us granular, easy to parse and (most importantly) easy to customize and use billing reports? they're in the business of making money, and providing mechanisms for folks to limit their spends will limit profits.

another thing to consider is that the billing subsystems for all of these cloud providers are literally one of the first things to be engineered, and after release, one of the last to ever be updated.

for instance, it took amazon two years to release OUs (organizational units): one year in closed beta, one in open. while these are great for organizing accounts, you still can't see how much an OU spent w/o a bunch of python/boto gymnastics!

i was on a call w/some of the leads of the aws billing subsystem about a year back, and asked about what the roadmap for billing features and the response was "2020 at the earliest".
That's also my experience with a 2009 MBP. Swapped out the HD for an SSD, maxed the RAM, and put in a new battery, and had an adequate machine for most daily tasks.

It showed it's age and lagged a lot with more intensive software like Fusion 360, but overall was a pretty good machine for 10 years.
Not all matter has to fend for itself in the environment. This constraint leads to evolution and consciousness. It's not magical, just self replicating.

If not statutory then the patient could be said to have been unjustly enriched. The remedy for the ER provider is the court-imposed equitable quasi-contract. The pluses for the patient include the limitation that the amount has to be reasonable (quantum meruit damages)

Yep. There is a 99.99% chance one of the following will happen:

- Your Colo has direct connect to AWS, so you can deploy EC2 under times of load

- Your Colo offers some sort of virtualized infrastructure
that you could wire into your network and offload under times of load

- Your Colo has a virtual server provider running that you can offload to in times of load.

- Is close enough to one of the big 3 that a Site to Site will work fine
Maybe he should have closed one eye, but the first atomic bomb only explodes once. Your body won't last forever no matter how well you care for it (as Feynman well knew, having just watched his wife Arline die slowly of incurable tuberculosis); seeing the first atomic-bomb test with your own eyes seems eminently worth the risk of blindness, or even sacrificing an eye.
It is not ideal, but ... Get a GUI and pick out lines and files and multi-commit your changes.
Many things can't be made equivalent, yet we try to "balance the scales" anyway. If you get assaulted then sue your assailant for damages, that monetary compensation isn't going to be equivalent to the physical and psychological damages you sustained.
This surprises nobody who has any experience with hosting. Even as far back as when I ran my own BBS, it was immediately clear that some people only wanted to leverage the content hosting for nasty things. If you were lucky, it was just perfectly legal pornography.
I did use agents in the past, but stopped since core.async became available: it addresses the use cases for agents in a much more flexible way. Also, I found that handling errors in agents is difficult.

As for the general use case, atoms and core.async are great tools, and I haven't needed to use refs (aka the STM) for years.
if you want to pay a carrier for always-on connectivity, get a wifi hotspot (i carried one for nearly 2 years). added bonus is that you can connect other devices to it on the go.

As far as I have anything that could be called daily work laptop it is ThinkPad X200s with maxed-out RAM and cheap SSD.
I do not see Go or Dart as being general purpose, we will have to agree to differ.
I'm moderately hopeful that the basic idea (close association between activity and cost) will improve, but I have some caveats.

One is that not everything will fit. Lots and lots and lots of workloads exist in their current form and are not going to switch overnight. Whatever bookkeeping method that gets developed needs to deal with the mix of costing models.

Another is that you still need to assign costs. In a lot of companies this is the subject of intense corporate politics. Whether such a method is adopted will depend on who is wielding what cudgel.

Related to which: there will be cases of premature optimisation on the visible. Optimising for cost is fine, but costs often include estimates that can be overlooked. It's one thing to optimise for "least dollars spent per invocation". Another thing to optimise for "fewest pissed off customers". The latter is harder to measure but in many cases more important.

But overall? Yes. I think it could be a step forward.
It shouldn't. It also shouldn't be hidden in "employer contributions" to insurance premiums. Large parts of the sector shouldn't be financed through massively inefficient wealth transfers and block grants to states.

We have too much third-party payer, especially mandated third-party payer, that distorts the face value of these services.

Sectors of health care that are largely cash-based, such as corrective eye surgery, many orthodontic treatments, most plastic surgery, are all quite cheap and have up front pricing that is easy to follow. Actual healthcare reform needs to rip out the old, broken systems and replace them with a simple plan for chronic healthcare needs, insist on transparency in pricing, and let the market take care of the rest.
Documentation is no replacement for experience.

EDIT: I agree that OPs choice of words makes the idea expressed ambiguous.
It’s also in Understanding Human Error by Sidney Dekker when talking about normalization of deviance. Everything that can go right will go right and we’ll use that to justify deviance more and more.
Not sure what you mean. They did it precisely for compatibility. It worked for FAT16 (and probably FAT12, for that matter) as well, and in fact long file names came before FAT32. Anything that would trip up older DOS versions or any other FAT consumers was a no-go.
There is currently no kernel interface that I know of to do that, and I don't think it would be too hard to hook into an open() on an invalid path and try to do something (mount a network fs, call out to GVfs or KIO, etc), but I can tell you you will meet resistance if you try to because things like "//stuff" and "smb://stuff" are already valid local file paths in Linux. So I leave it up to you to figure out how to do this without breaking things.
Thanks. I was not 100% on it being unique to humans but I did remember it being quite rare in nature.
I have always liked Postel's law (and Jon -- what a great human being he was) but I no longer like it as I used to.

The reason it's a really great idea is that it says you should engineer in favor of resilience, which is an important form of robustness. And at the same time, "strict in what you send" means "don't cause trouble for others.

However there are cases where "fail early" is more likely to be the right thing. Here are a few:

1 - Backward compatibility can bite you in the leg. For example, USB Type C (which I love!) can support very high transfer rates but when it can't it will silently fall back. So you could have a 40 Gbps drive connected to a 40 Gbps port on a computer via a cable that only supports USB 2 speeds. It will "work" but maybe not as intended. Is this good, or should it have failed to work (or alerted the user to make a choice) so that the user can go find a better cable?

2 - DWIM is inherently unstable. For users that might not be bad (they can see the result and retry) or terrible ("crap, I didn't mean to destroy the whole filesystem").

I see these problems all the time in our own code base where someone generates some invalidly-formatted traffic which is interpreted one way by their code and a different way by someone else's. Our system is written in at least four languages. We'd be better off being more strict, but some of the languages (Python, Javascript) are liberal in both what they accept and generate.

This aphorism/law was written for the network back when we wrote all the protocol handlers by hand. Now we have so many structured tools and layered protocols this is much less necessary.
> Why can't non-conscious matter, arranged precisely, think?

I think non-conscious matter arranged precisely can think. For example, food, arranged properly by the body, can become conscious. Also AI agents can be conscious as long as they are coupled to a complex environment and put under judicious constraints they have to optimise against.
Completely agree with this. Previously I was a PM at a rather large (valued >1bn) sales software organization. I was tasked with building a completely new product to replace the original product. We built an MVP and had our internal sales team use it. It wasn't easy, it took some motivation to get them to use it over the large, steady, enterprise solution they were used to. But, they used it enough that we received considerable feedback that we rolled into the public beta, which was much bigger than an MVP.

Same. I love it. The things I replaced in the 8 years I've had this machine: Stock HDD -> Samsung 840 SSD, Keyboard (failed within 3yr warranty, they shipped me a new one overnight), and the trackpoint cover. Oh, and the OS, from Windows 7 Pro to XUbuntu. I would love a higher density display but that's about it.

I am thinking of finally upgrading to an X280 or an X1 but I am afraid the keyboard will be too much of a downgrade.
YMMV, but when I'm working on a feature branch that can take some time, I try to break it into pieces to merge into master often. One way to think about this is breaking away from the compulsion to commit the entire thing together in a branch. So I have `feat-x-part-1`, `feat-x-part-2` and so on.

It's important to resist the urge to do push things only on perfection. It works for me.

New privacy-breaking attacks against phones on 4G and 5G cellular networks
I actually use the agents semi-often, partly because I come from an Erlang background and they're relatively easy to work with.

I mentioned in an edit that I realized core.async is a library. It's still first-party, so it's still somewhat idiomatic.
> but what would it mean to "zoom into" a consciousness?

You'd find good and bad situations - from the point of view of the body. Some situations are useful for life, other are detrimental. Consciousness guides actions towards useful situations.
